Everything You Need To Eat In San Francisco This Summer - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Beneath the peach-sampling facade of every San Franciscan lies a deep desire to eat a smashburger at 10am on a Sunday. March past the fruit stands at the Outer Sunset farmers market to Maillards, the site of your impending torrid love affair with lacy-edged beef patties." - ricky rodriguez, lani conway, julia chen 1, lani conway, julia chen 1, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez

The staff and food was absolutely outstanding. I ordered a Build-Your-Own burger with a double patty, white cheddar, grilled onions, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and garlic spread, and it was probably top 3 burgers I have ever had in my life! And the quality and attention to detail was on point. The service was also off the charts when we came in with a party of 13, and they were so welcoming and accommodating. And I would highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area!

Small spot with great "Smash" burgers. Had the garlic, mushroom burger, garlic fries, a soda, and a chocolate shake! All done very well. I recommend getting a double patty. With the new smash technique, the patty is pretty thin. And the shake! Damn it was so good. All in all, the atmosphere was cool playing the summer reggae, little nice AC going inside, and customer service was tip top. Got to meet the owner who seemed pretty damn cool as well. He says he tries to only buy good quality meat with no hormones added. That says something. Go try it out!

This place was delicious! Fries were probably the best fries I have had in a long time. Burger, amazing! Their garlic spread was delish! Loved the atmosphere. They use beef gallon for the fries, make their own ground beef, and their buns and veggies are from local business. Such a great place. Will most definitely be coming back!!!

We were excited to try this place. The reviews online were good. We went in around 4:45 on a Saturday and there was a small line. That’s a good sign. You could see guys in the back actually grinding beef to make ground beef for the patties, impressive. I ordered the mushroom garlic burger and a large garlic fry (for two of us). The burger was mediocre really. I ended up smothering it in ketchup still and ate it all. The fries were mediocre as well. I wouldn’t get the garlic ones, even though the young lady taking our order suggested it. The garlic fries had minimal garlic flavor and just tasted of raw garlic. We ended up throwing away 80% of the fries. (See photo for what we tossed)

The smoke coming from the back, the grease in the air and the smile on the guy taking the order all but promised, good food be here. It was. Ordered the rodeo and was not let down. The buns were toasty, cheese was just melted enough and the patty was unbelievable. They got it right.

The burgers were so juicy and delicious & The fries were piping hot! Great flavor and overall wonderful customer service. The inside was small but had bar space to sit at. It was busy when we went so we opted for their outdoor seating. Will definitely be back since we are 💯 supporting businesses that boycott seed oils and use more fresh and quality ingredients. Good job 10/10 recommending to EVERYONE.

From the moment we stepped into Farm to Smash, we were greeted with a warm welcome. I was thrilled to discover that they use beef tallow instead of seed oils. I ordered the Rodeo, and my father chose the Flamin, both burgers exceeded our expectations. Midway through my meal, I thought the burger could be elevated with some fresh tomato and lettuce. To my pleasant surprise, one of the chefs noticed my predicament and kindly brought out a serving of both. Kudos to him! The steak fries were crisp, perfectly fried, and utterly delicious. Overall, the service was outstanding, the burgers were superb, and the prices were very reasonable considering the quality. A solid 5/5 experience. (Only reason atmosphere got 4/5 because it’s a little small inside)

The food was delicious! It took awhile to come out but it was worth the wait. I had the build your own double patty with chipotle sauce, American cheese, grilled onions, and jalapeños and it was great! My boyfriend got the build your own triple with American cheese, chipotle sauce,grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, and bacon. We shared a large order of loaded fries with garlic sauce and there was plenty to share. They are thick cut fries. Next time I would skip the garlic sauce and add the chipotle sauce because I preferred it. The chocolate shake was good, but next time I want to try the vanilla shake with the strawberry purée. We will definitely be back!

Yumm is an understatement! Tried this place after girlie recommended and mannnn the menu hits HARD! I went with a double after being told the single was a little lean... but the single would have been perfect. The garlic fries --- kicking! My breath smelled like it too. I love their organic drink options, and the decor was quaint and cute. You can see them work in the kitchen through a side glass window while waiting. It was nice to see their farm to smash concept.

Cute little burger shop on the east side of town. Love the menu options and the patio area that's set up for outdoor dining. My husband and I stopped in for a quick dinner as we were told how good this place was by several friends. Service was great, all the employees we spoke with were helpful in advising recommendations for burgers. We ordered a couple burgers, garlic fries to share and a lemonade. The burgers were good, juicy with crispy edges true to a smash burger style burger. The lemonade was so good, probably one of our favs we have ever had. We were disappointed with the garlic fries. While we love garlic, our fries were so soggy and saturated in oil. I feel like getting regular fries would have been better as the soggy fries kind of affected how I felt about the meal overall. I would definitely look to come back in the future and try another fry option to hopefully change how I felt about our first experience there.

Hot take incoming- I'm not a big fan of smashburgers. I know, I said it. They're fine, but not the way I prefer to eat a burger. I will take a thick, medium rare juicy burger over a thin crunchy-edge multiple patty burger any day. Farm to Smash was good, don't get me wrong. The quality of the meat was good, and it was rich enough that I ate half and took the rest with me to eat another time. I can see why you would really like it, if that's your style of burger. Staff was friendly and helpful, and there's a small outdoor patio next to it, that gives the majority of the seating. It's one of the micro restaurants that are in this corner of the home-grown shopping center. Lots of choices to appease your hunger.

Farm to Smash is very good. Of all the burger spots I've been to around San Diego, it ranks pretty high. And while my own experience here didn't match the heights of some other reviewers I've seen, I do want to come back and eat again, try their other offerings and see if any minor issues I had were one offs. I had The Rodeo, their version of a bacon cheeseburger. The patty itself was flavorful, well seasoned, but I did not get as much crispiness as I had expected from the smash. It was still juicy and good, just missing the chewy edges to the meat. And while the bacon and pickles gave it a great amount of heft, the sauce heightening the flavor with a good amount of sweet and a bit of tang, I felt that overall, it needed a bit more to put it over the top. A very good burger, just not brilliant. My son had the Flamin' Smash, which he was able to polish off about half of before the heat became too much. Talking as someone who can handle a good amount of heat, it was very tolerable, but even I could feel it by the end as I finished it. Still, my primary issue with this burger were the jalapeño; cut and served raw, they were a bit bitter. I think they would have been better if they were either pickled or fried. He also had a Chocolate Shake, which I'm sure he wished he had saved more of before his burger hit the table. And between us, we split a small serving of the Loaded Fries. The fries themselves were delicious, crispy and salty, with a great underlying flavor from the tallow. However, they were absolutely drenched in the Original Sauce we ordered them in. Where it should have been a healthy drizzle on top, it was instead a goopy puddle that completely dominated every bite of our side. And it was a bit overpowering. Again, Farm to Smash is very good. They've got great flavors, seem to have a nice range of ingredients, and have a good technique to their cooking. I'm just personally not a huge fan of the combinations I've tried. If and when I come back out here, I would think/suggest that one should order a plain cheeseburger with a side of their sauce to appreciate their beef and cooking. And then chase it up with a BYO Bacon Cheeseburger with the full lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled onions, and a light smear of the original sauce. Do that, and I'm pretty sure anyone would walk away a very happy diner.

I finally got to try this smash burger place in the area! I was looking through Yelp & noticed that there's many different burger places in Escondido, which is awesome. What sets Farm to Smash apart from other burger places is their seed oil free promise, house-made avocado oil, and premium blend of chuck roll and brisket ground daily in the kitchen. The inside of the restaurant is a bit small so it only has some booth-style seating along the wall and we must've came around lunch time because there were no seats available. We just decided to take it to-go, so with that I ordered the Double Patty Garlic Mushroom burger and my husband ordered the Double Patty Flamin' Smash with large loaded fries to share (we chose chipotle as the sauce). Service was quick & easy and the gentleman helping us was really patient with it being our first time. I'm a huuuuge fan of the Garlic Mushroom burger and the loaded fries! The garlic spread was super yummy and kind of reminded me of a tzatziki sauce for burgers. The burger patty was perfectly cooked and I loved the juiciness of it. My husband liked his too, but really liked the Garlic Mushroom burger the best. I have no words to describe how much I loved the loaded fries. You can really tell the difference that they cooked the potatoes in beef tallow. I would come back here again & again and put this burger joint in my rotation of cheat days with my husband. I highly recommend trying this place out if you're ever in North County!

Food is amazing every time! They grind the meat for the burgers in house. They use beef tallow for cooking the fries, and make all sauces homemade. The service is always on point! Everyone is friendly and always smiling. One of the reasons it's our favorite burger joint! Super cute on the inside. They recently added a ton of outside seating. Bring the family and friends down and check this place out!!

Yummmmm! I did the build my own burger with no bun. I thought it was just going to be a lettuce wrap but it was so much better. It was a full on salad bowl and it was delicious! We also got the loaded fries with a patty 10/10 recommend, I'll definitely be back

We were excited to finally check out this burger joint . We were gonna be driving past Escondido , so we coordinated lunch here . My rodeo smash burger was hands down five out of five stars. It's a top tier cheeseburger . Their ingredients are all very fresh , flavorful and the perfect amount . We tried the garlic fries and the portion is very big, Which is great . However, we did not finish them because of the overwhelming amount of raw garlic put on them . I think we were expecting roasted garlic, maybe some Parmesan cheese. That's my bad because it does not say Parmesan cheese in the menu. I would not buy these ever again. It was overwhelming and we had to throw them away. Also, their drinks selection was a little disappointing. I wish they had fountain soda . But maybe that's just me.

I wanted to try this place because it doesn't use seed oils, instead it uses beef tallow for everything. Burgers was very solid, the fries are done more towards the crispy side if thats your preferences. Got two lemonade and they were pretty solid and fresh. Food is pick up and then ya can take it to go or eat outside. There aren't a lot of space inside but they have an outside area just 2 doors down for an outside eating area. Parking: Pretty big plaza so no issues

Excellent burgers and the shakes are sooo good! The people there are very nice too. We met Oscar the second time we came and he was super friendly and customer focused. Its small inside but they have a patio on the side that is perfect to grab a quick bite.

First visit here today. I got a single no cheese, lettuce, tomato and pickles. Large fries. Had some of the fries on my way home. Love the beef tallow. Burger is yummy. They forgot the pickles and needed more lettuce. I would come back. 4 stars!

Great burgers. The fries were exceptional. Kinda pricey, but all fresh ingredients. Extra sauce on the side was $1.90, so be aware. Sat outside on the patio and it was nice. We'll be back for sure.

I saw many good reviews about this place so we decided to try it. The place is very small and very modest, there are only a few seats available so mainly is a to go place. We ordered the specialty which are smash burgers and fries which are fried with beef tallow. Burgers are good although I was expecting more and fries were good too but I didn't notice a difference of using beef tallow. In general, is good but since seating is quite a challenge so I would hesitate in coming back since I like to eat my burgers and fries fresh and not to go because they get soggy and don't taste as good as freshly made. In any case I suggest to try them.

Farm to smash is a great burger. They just opened their outdoor seating area which is really nice and provides a lot more seating. The burger is pretty good. Not as good as others I have tried, but really sustainably sourced, which makes me want to support this business!

Amazing smash burgers! The homemade ranch is sooo good. The strawberry shake with homemade strawberry syrup and homemade whipped cream is a must try. Best shake on the planet. Their attention to detail and fresh homemade items is next level.

Tiny place with bold hamburgers. Farm to Smash fancies itself as a hybrid healthier / tastier burger option. They tout cooking with tallow over seed oils and make their spreads with Avocado oil. They also grind their own meat to assure freshness and quality. My burger was "smashed" style which means it's thin and crispy. I'm not a fan of Freddy's smashed style burgers but this place was better than those greasy ones I've had at other places. - This is a very small space and every day since it opened there has been a line out the door. - Not really a "dine in" option even though there are a few tables inside. - Order online for pickup is your best option. - Fries were really good. - Original burger was good. - Request chipotle spread on your burger.

The burgers here were absolutely amazing! Simple but really well done. I got the garlic fries too and the best I've had. Plenty of garlic that sticks to the fry itself, unlike other places where they just throw the minced garlic on top and they all fall off. I tried the chocolate shake too and while it was really good, it was really rich for me to have along with the burgers and fries. Plenty of tables to sit at next door. Service was pretty quick and staff was super nice. It's cool to be able to see the kitchen and the food getting done. I'm definitely coming back soon.

I am a sucker for smash burgers and will travel well outside my normal boundaries to try one. When my local smash burger place wasn't available, I checked this place out. See that line out the door? That's partly because the restaurant is very small and partly because this place is very popular right now. Don't worry. The line moves quickly but the food does take a while to come out. It is cooked to order so be patient. There is only counter seating inside, and it is of the type where you stare at a wall. There are also a couple of tables outside the front door. Parking is freeee in the lot. The smash burgers here are VERY smashed and thus, very thin, so, you might consider getting a double burger to get a more substantial meal. While the edges (or lace) of these burgers are wonderfully crispy, I actually think the burgers themselves are too thin and lose some of their meaty goodness as a result. The buns are nice and the ingredients (onions, jalopenos, bacon, etc.) are all very fresh tasting. The fries, while very fresh, didn't do it for me. They are thick steak fries, which isn't my jam, and they were barely seasoned. I just prefer skinnier and crispier fries, with more seasoning, of course. Although we didn't know the fries wouldn't be well seasoned, we fortunatley purchased a side of their housemade ranch dressing ($1.75 for a small cup, ouch), and it was delicious. It isn't as tangy as the ranch dressing you get at the store which isn't necessarily a bad thing. This one is made with dill and it is very different and nice. Nearly everyone got a shake while we were there, and they looked great, but we didn't try one. These are good smash burgers, freshly made, and they are worth a try.

Go here now!!! I am a sucker for smashburgers & wow, this spot did not disappoint. Customer service was happy & friendly. Food came out quick. Their menu uses fresh & healthier ingredients. It is a simple menu with fries, loaded fries, shakes & 4 incredible burgers (or an option to build your own). The Original: Simple. Delicious. Perfect. This burger was so amazing & their original spread was *chefs kiss*. The patty was marinated well. & what I loved so much was that it was not greasy like other smashburgers that make you feel so guilty afterwards. Fries: Fried in beef tallow, yum! Strawberry Shake: Creamy & refreshing. It is located in a shopping strip. It is a small restaurant with bar seating only.

When driving into the parking lot it does look a bit hidden, but once you make your way to the door there's a hand full of linecooks popping out orders and hungry people waiting for these amazing burgers. I will say that taking the order is fast but it did take over 20 minutes for a togo order. I would leave some time as it is made to order! The Burgers were amazing unfortunately my Flamin' Smash didn't have any jalapenos just cheese and the patties but was still enjoyable! The interior was a bit crowded but they do provide outside seats to wait. Overall, great spot and KILLER STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE! The shake was supposed to be shared but I couldn't stop sipping, definitely don't share, tell whoever to get their own!

Love love love!! The lemonade was delicious and so were the burgers!!! The homemade ranch was amazing as well. My only critique would be that the fries could be a tad crispier, but overall great! I love the new outdoor seating area as well.

Good concept and small little quaint spot. Parking can get alittle hectic so be careful. The burgers and fries were good but a bit on the salty side for us. The service was great and the place was clean. Next time I might have to opt out of the garlic sauce on the fries since it was already on my burger. It made it an overload of garlic for me. Lol. Overall good burger spot!

We tried Farm to Smash over the weekend. Absolutely delicious! Burgers and fries on point. Strawberry shake that everyone raves about was only MID and pricey for me. However, best fries and garlic sauce around. We will be back!

First time trying Farm to Smash. Went at about 5:30 and there was a few people in line which gave us time to check out the menu and take a look around what others were eating . We decided on a double Flamin' and Original Smash. We also got the loaded garlic fries,chocolate shake and a mexi coke to complete our order. The food came out rather quick as they have their assembly line down to a tee. The burgers were crispy smashed. Very tasty but they only issue was our buns we a bit over toasted which dried them out and made our burgers taste a bit dry and we were also thinking they needed more house spread to help. The loaded garlic sauce fries were absolutely epic. We loved that cut of fries and they were crispy and very tasty. Chocolate shake was chocolaty, rich and also great. The mexi coke option is always a great feature to have to wash down some good ol' burgers and fries although I would lower the temperate on that coke refrigerator to have them nearly ice cold like that wonderful ac vent you have going as you order ( we loved that cold a/c blowing) . Overall a great experience. Everybody looked excited to eat and staff looked happy prepping and serving, a good all around experience even though there is a really small dining area . Will be back to juice them burger up a bit. Some other pluses they offer is their fries are cooked in beef tallow and they grind their burger patty blend right there in front of you. 4.3 stars hoping to make it a 5 on the next visit .

Fantastic! From the service to the food, everything was great. We are already talking about coming back. We did have to wait for about 10 min in line, but it was worth it. Pros: * Delicous burgers; we did the BYO. The garlic sauce is amazing, it is strong so beware. *Loaded Fries were great * Service was friendly and swift. Yes, we had to wait in line, but all the staff was hustling. * Clean inside Cons: * N/A Extra: * It's in a strip mall so there is a lot of parking BUT there is only a tiny amount in front of the restaurant. My advice, park farther away and just walk a bit * Very limited seating. There is a bar height shelf inside with some stools. Again, it's busy so you're lucky to snag a spot. We got lucky, but if we hadn't we would of eaten in our car *It's worth the wait!

Had to check out this new place since I love smash burgers. Seeing their post as well yelp I was aware they "totally" smash the burgers flat... as well did hear the cashier tell a person after us. With that being said I would recommend doing at least a double. I however didn't do knowing all this and wish I did because everything is fresh and felt as if I was eating more bread and sauce. Which later I ate it open face so eating a bottom bun was eating a bun. Did get the loaded fries with garlic and let's say there's garlic alright. All and all there is flavor just wish the smash wasn't totally smash that thin. So pay the extra for that double.

My husband and I were so excited to try this new spot because there aren't too many burger spots on this side of town. We went on an early Sunday afternoon during a small rush of about 10 people. The service was great! We were greeted by a sweet woman who took our order and she was very kind. Ambiance when you walk in is so refreshing!! It's smells nice and clean with an amazing food linger scent as well. Music was playing while we were there and it felt similar to a farmers market ambiance. Very lively without being too loud. So sad that there wasn't much room to sit in there because the energy is so great. We ordered at the counter to go and waited about 10 minutes for our food which was much quicker than I had anticipated because of the rush we were a part of. We ordered a double garlic burger to share and a side of small fries. I asked for sauce to be put on the side but unfortunately didn't get any and didn't see until we were back home. The portion size for the price is great!!! The small fries were great to share. Food was solid but I'm not too sure that we'll go back. We might go back to try the loaded fries and shakes offered! Or maybe even another burger combo. Fry shape was so unique in a great way: thick and seasoned perfectly. The burger was juicy and a bit on the saltier side. It also fell apart on the ends. The bun was fresh and fluffy! Drink options were coke Diet Coke and water. Maybe a fresh lemonade or tea could round out drink options but that's just my lemonade loving hope. LOL. Overall such a sweet addition to Escondido!! I'm excited to see how this place goes!!!

Good burger spot in Escondido. Burger, fries and a side of ranch came out to around 20ish dollars. Definitely was a solid burger but don't think it's that good to justify that price tag. Front desk was very friendly and accommodating. They have limited seating in the restaurants but they have a nice patio with plenty of seating next to the restaurant. Would return in the future.

It is so wonderful to have another super great burger place in Escondido. I ordered the double burger with their thick cut, fried in beef tallow, French Fries. Is Yum Yum sufficient? I prefer pepper jack cheese however they only offer yellow or white cheese. So I did get my burger without cheese which was no big loss because she get to enjoy more of the beef flavor. (Plus lettuce, tomato, pickles, and house spread.

Super busy smash burger place that markets itself to the healthy food crowd. They espouse no seed oils and an overall healthier "farm to table" kind of burger. Does this line up? I have no idea. I don't know what their breads are made of and they were too busy for be to inquire, but the smash burgers are solid. $9-14 per burger depending on if you get a single, double, or triple...and potentially more. Very few tables, so expect to take your burger out somewhere. When I got here on a Sunday, there was a 30-minute wait so it's a popular place right now and waiting that long for a burger was a tough pill to swallow especially with a toddler, but we did it anyway. Was it worth it? Yeah, I think so. The fries were delish too.

Worth the 1.5 hr drive. Delicious. Great service and good pricing. Usually I have a lot of gas after eating this type of food, but that was not the case with Farm to smash. Can't wait to be out there again to have another

I love that they make their own sauces. Their tallow fries go great with them and definitely worth the extra charge. Hubby and I love their cheese burger with chipotle and jalapeños. A little spicy crunch with real cheese, freshly ground beef and buns baked that day is so yummy. Get there after the lunch rush though because the line can get crazy. There isn't much seating inside. Outdoor seating on the side of the whole building though.

Came here after a round of golf, thanks to a rec from The Marvelous Muncher on IG. The spot was popping for a Tuesday night--definitely the standout in a charming, old-school style strip mall. I went for the "build your own" burger: double patty, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, garlic spread, and a large side of loaded fries with chipotle sauce. The burger was solid--crispy edges on the patties and a fantastic bun--but I think I may have overloaded it with veggies. I couldn't really taste the cheese or garlic spread, which was a bit of a letdown. As for the fries, I wasn't a fan. They were the thick steak-cut style, which I know some people love, but they just didn't hit for me. The chipotle sauce was okay, but nothing memorable. On the bright side, service was excellent--the young woman at the counter was super friendly and efficient. Overall, it wasn't bad, but for the price, I think I'd lean toward The Friendly or stick with In-N-Out next time.

We came here after seeing the great reviews on yelp and sure enough, we loved our burgers! I really appreciated how you could customize the burgers exactly how you want them, specifying number of patties, choice of spread, and add-ons such as pickles and mushrooms. I got the double patty burger with American cheese and garlic spread, and it was a great smash burger with the meat seasoned well and you could taste for fresh the bun was. We ordered the fries too which were good, but I think loaded fries would've tasted better. It's a pretty small space so not much seating was available, but this would be a great place to grab burgers to eat to-go!

My bf loves hamburgers so he wants to try every hamburger place. I got the original which was just a patty, grilled onions, cheese and spread. I thought it was a great smash burger. I will create my own next time. We also got large fries which we loved. Cucumber mint lemonade helped wash everything down. Place is small. We got lucky and found a spot to eat. Service was patient, helpful and friendly. We'll be back.

One of the best smash Burgers I've had ! Was in Escondido hanging out with an old friend and he wanted to check this spot since it was new ! I got the flamin smash burger and it was amazing !! I talk to the worker they said they don't use no seed oil and all the beef is organic and grinned in house ! My buddy got the mushroom burger and loved it he said it was an amazing burger! I decided to get another burger this time I got the build your own and made it 3 patties ! Supper good ! I also got a shake to help me wash all that down ! My buddy got the loaded fries and loved them as well ! Service was great which is always a plus ! Definitely coming back here !

Don't you just love seeing small businesses pop up on your socials and what you see cookin makes you really wanna go and try it out?! If you haven't seen Farm to Smash pop up on your IG- check em out and then make your way to Esco! FTS had me at tallow! And then the huge cut steak fries! So- even though we rode our motorcycles up here and luckily found a parking spot out front- I had no idea what the seating situation was. There are 2 very small tables available out front and I think 6 chairs, total. The family of 5 had no problem letting their toddler sit in their lap and giving us the extra chair. Inside is a cramped counter area with a handful of chairs. I would dread it if we had to "tailgate" using our motorcycles. So, keep that in mind. The line does move quickly- and not in a bad way. Customers can see food being prepped. The huge chunks of meat getting stuffed and smashed into the grinder. The Rodeo was our choice for the day. But, I decided to up the ante and get the white cheddar, grilled onions, and lettuce. Even the small order of fries was heaping in the basket! Level up and get the garlic! TONS of fresh minced garlic! The strawberry shake was a perfect thickness. Not too thick where you feel like your blood vessels are gonna pop out. I'm definitely coming back. Might get a double patty or the loaded fries with a patty! *No bathroom available

Small place a bit off the main drag to get to. Clean and a few places to sit inside. Might be best to order online as this small place can get busy and food wait times might be longer than expected. During my visit the music was so load inside, it seemed that the cashier had issues hearing customers. Defiantly a weird music setup. Food is good. Fries are fresh cut. Burger can be customized the way you like it. A single patty was enough food for me.

First time trying Farm to Smash. Small parking, directly beside Tasty Pizza easy to miss if you aren't paying attention. Hiding behind the Smog station; great and friendly service. Easy to order, choose a Build Your Own or one of the four already prepared combinations. I ordered The Original with double patty and no onions. This smash burger did not disappoint and the brioche bun is a perfect addition. The burger overall is a little oily but taste is great and the beef quality is amazing. Highly recommend!

Wow what a find! Brand new burger spot in Escondido. Read all the reviews and the how and it was well worth it. We were greater by Andrea and she provided us with great recommendations and superb customer service. The burgers here are phenomenal. I ended up selecting the garlic mushroom with 2 patties. The fries are also top notch and I highly recommend getting yourself a shake. The place is small with limited bar only type of seating. If you're going to the safari zoo make this place a must stop.

Outof towners from Miami, so lucky to have discovered this gem!! Best smash burgers, great garlic fries, and out of this world shakes!! The cucumber mint lemonade was also a hit! Try it all! We had the garlic mushroom single patty + grilled onions and my husband had the original double patty!! Wow!!

Woo-hoo, what a burger and fries. You will not regret trying this place out. The burger was juicy and favorable especially with their special sauce. These beef tallow fries are like no other.

Decent food, but terrible seating and wait times. Last time we went, we had to wait 45 minutes for our food, even though nobody else was in line. It was also very hard to find a place to sit. I won't be coming back, and I hope they can hire more employees.

Place smells delicious. The place looks clean and inviting. The cheeseburger and strawberry shake tastes so yummy and so as the fries. Friendly staff. I will be coming back.
