Farm To Smash

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!

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)

Best smash burgers in town. Great flavors, big portions, and friendly people! We love the Rodeo (comes with bacon) and the original (comes with grilled onions). The garlic fries are also very good! I’ve heard the milkshakes are delicious (and they look amazing), but we haven’t tried them yet - we’ll definitely try them next time!

Despite that I was able to place a mobile order just barely before closing, which I didn't think was possible, this is seriously the best burger joint ever. I still got phenomenal and friendly service despite walking in 2 minutes before closing. All the meat is grass fed/finished, fries are cooked in beef tallow, and you can taste the difference. It's phenomenal. Definitely plan on coming back here again!

Amazing burgers! I prefer these over in and out and knowing they have a ZERO seed oil policy, it made it that much better. I love their loaded fries too, all their sauces are made with avocado oil like their mayo and their dressings. I did get a single patty but definitely will come back for a double. The service is very nice, they are very welcoming and with a kind attitude. Also they JUST opened last week, if this is how the food quality is and the environment I can’t wait for them to grow and go into a bigger diner like spot. It’s a small local place, they have a small area to sit and eat. They didn’t seem to have a restroom but most of the locations in that strip don’t offer restroom either so be aware of that.

Second trip: they were just as awesome and gracious when explaining my child’s allergies, and we were able to order stress free. They were transparent and the food was exceptional. Kid allergy approved and will keep coming back! The food was phenomenal! I’ve tried a lot of places recently (Colorado, Virginia, and California) that attempt to specialize in smash burgers and beef tallow fries. There are a few decent options around SD, but they’re fairly hit or miss. This place nails it in every way. We ordered different burgers for each person/kid in my family, fries, and even the shake and were extremely satisfied. Staff was friendly, professional, and timely. The place was clean. Highly recommend this place and I will be a regular customer! Thank you!

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!

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!!

Fantastic burger, French fries fried in beef tallow, very tasty and no seed oils! I highly recommend!

The food is great! Healthy, fresh, one of the best burgers in town!! Great fries, yummy shakes!! Awesome lemonade!! Highly recommend

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.

Pros: - Food was good! I miss SmashBurger so much that I'm often looking for a decent sub. And this place is it! Juicy cheesy burgers are my thing. Fries are awesome, tho if u get them loaded as well as a burger, be prepared for a HUGE meal. - And I LOVE the patio they have now!! It's huge. As I have a dog (ESA) who goes most places with me, the patio is perfect for us. Wooden picnic tables are easy to wrap a leash around and forget about it to go pickup order, and then eat in peace, as pup has no choice but to stay by my feet under the table. Cons: - No bathrooms anywhere remotely close! One time I went there on a full bladder after the dog park for 2 hours (where there's also no bathroom!) not knowing as much, so had to take my order to go. - Patio - Put up sun-blocking & retracting curtains or something. By 5pm, that entire patio is baking in the sun and for a couple hours there's no good seat. Wear a wide billed sun hat! There is 1 table that's always shaded - but it's a handicap-designated spot, so couldn't sit there. (Not ethically anyway.)

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Excellent burgers! Got a BYOB with double patties, garlic aioli, grilled onions, and lettuce, as well as the flamin with triple patties. We also got a side of loaded fries with chipotle sauce, and they were yummy! The fries were crispy, just wish they gave a little more chipotle sauce. The strawberry and original lemonades were also very refreshing. They have a cute small side patio, as inside seating is pretty limited. Will definitely be back!

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.

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.

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.

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 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!!!

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 !

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

Best smash burger ever! Huge patties, fresh ingredients and lots of filler choices. The thick cuts fries were crispy and the homemade lemonade wasn't too sweet. Not a lot of seating but definitely worth either eating there or as takeout. The friendly staff is more than happy to tell you about their fresh ingredients and homemade approach.

This place is aaaaaaaaahmazing ! I'm not a burger person but this place has me craving the burgers. It might be the garlic sauce that does it for me. I built my own. I'm only taking off a star since both of the times I've been there the girl in the front is chit chatting so much to the workers I had to interrupt her conversation. She's helpful. The pattys are thin I personally like only 1 but my husband likes his more meatier so he does 2.

I reserved my review until we have visited twice. Our visit was a Saturday. It was busy, but not insane. We had the Original burger and the garlic mushroom burger and fries. The burgers were outstanding. The fries are just fine. Not a huge fan of the thick cut, but I'm sure they'd be great with toppings. Our second visit was Sunday afternoon. I'm glad I ordered online before we arrived. It was insanely busy with a line down the sidewalk. We ordered more or less the same order minus the fries. The burgers seemed more rushed and weren't quite as good as the first visit. Still good though. My only suggestion would be to add a kids burger to the menu. $9 for my kiddo to only be able to eat half is a bummer. Other than that, we love it! I'm hoping to see more of the locations pop up in time. We need more places that are committed to heathy alternatives.

My wife worked today, so while she was at work, she texted me asking if I wanted to eat at Farm To Smash, which we had seen on Instagram and I had Yelp bookmarked this place for us to try. When you've been married for almost three decades, you cherish any opportunity to have a date day. My wife got home from work and after changing, we drove to experience Farm To Smash (FTF) for the very first time with high hopes. I enjoyed what I ordered and I'm giving the restaurant 3.5 stars because we weren't able to enjoy our food hot and fresh and the Garlic Mushroom Burger was missing mushrooms when we unwrapped the burger at home. FTF is located in Escondido and you'll have to head east a little ways from the 15 freeway. The small restaurant is located specifically within an outdoor strip mall called Valley Plaza. The strip mall has plenty of parking, but it's a busy plaza. FTF is next door to Agrusa's Submarine Sandwiches, next to Tasty Pizza, it's a few steps from Señor Taquito Taco Shop, in the same mall as The Wrangler Barbecue and Viva Market, and across the street are Ross, Big Lots, and Walgreens. We had hoped to enjoy our early dinner at the restaurant, but FTF has minimal seating with just counter seating with maybe 6 stools, so you'll need to order your food to go. The focal point of the restaurant is their large kitchen with minimal decor except for a framed art piece with big horn steers, hanging plants, a steer figurine, and decorative paneling on their order counter and wall. The restaurant was noisy due to the blenders making the shakes. Andrea who took our order and other employees I interacted with were friendly. What piqued our interest about FTF was one of their Instagram videos showcasing their food. Throw in the fact that my wife and I have been on a smash burger kick with Freddy's in San Marcos being a favorite of ours, we were excited to try FTF. Due to the restaurant not having any available seating as they were all occupied, we didn't get to experience what we ordered hot and fresh since our home was a 20 minute drive away. We decided to experience as much of FTF's simple menu by ordering three of their specialty burgers and two types of fries. We ordered the Flamin' Smash Burger for me, The Rodeo Burger for my wife, the Garlic Mushroom to share, large Garlic Fries, and Large Loaded Fries. My Flamin' Smash was double freshly smashed patties made with premium ground beef, melted American cheese, fresh jalapeños, pickles, and chipotle spread with everything served on a toasted brioche bun. I thought my burger was good value for our money, it was tasty, not spicy at all, and with the brioche bun, everything ate really well. I was disappointed that one of the main components of the Garlic Mushroom Burger, the mushrooms, was missing when I looked closely at the burger. Make sure to order their Garlic and Loaded Fries and make them both large. They are not stingy with their food. They use a lot of garlic in their garlic fries as the smell emanates as soon you get your order. I really enjoyed my Loaded Fries, which are hearty farm fresh potatoes fried in premium beef tallow topped with cheese, bacon, grilled onions, and we chose Chipotle spread. The fries were thick cut, delicious, and all of the toppings made for a filling side dish. Our expected date day turned into a drive to order our food at Farm To Fresh and a drive back home due to minimal seating. I enjoyed most of our food, but having one of the burgers missing a main component bummed us out. I'm hoping the staff will make good on this error as I wrote them, so hopefully I'll get to experience their Garlic Mushroom Burger with all of the toppings. FTF deserves to be tried, but I think my wife would rather dine at Freddy's.

This is a small spot in Escondido! They have a kitchen as you walk in and there is a small bar-style seating area on the left side of the restaurant. The service is fast and the line doesn't take too long even when out the door. We ordered the Rodeo Burger and a Build Your Own Burger with Jalapeños, Grilled Onion, Cheese, Spread. We also ordered a large side of fries. The burger had great flavor and the patties were smashed to crisp perfection. I think that the bun was too big and took over the burger with how heavy it felt. The fries were meh. They weren't fried to be crispy so they tasted like steak fries and basic potatoes. The chocolate shake was amazing! I loved their shake consistency and how it wasn't too thick. I would go back here for a burger and shake. It's a great smash burger spot in North County!

Food: Burgers & Fries, is there game. My husband ordered the triple Flaming Smash ($13.99) with garlic fries & I ordered the double Flaming Smash ($10.99) with regular fries & a drink, its $5.00 to make it a combo. A side of Chipotle aioli $1.00 worth it! Service: Friendly & professional Ambiance: It's a very small place and we went on Sunday to try it out and the line was long, so plan on waiting, be patient. My husband liked the idea that they use tallow and quality meat, you see them grinding it. The Burgers are smashed, could seem thin, that's why I ordered a double patty, because someone helped the patties were too thin, I thought the patties were perfectly fine and delicious, I could only eat 1/2 of my burger and fries. The fries, were nice, hot & crispy on the outside. The side Chipotle is great and its not a tiny container, its bigger than the usual restaurant containers. The dont have a soda machine, you just take the soda from the small fridge, which I prefer. Price: 2 Burgers, 2 fries & a soda, $39 Noteworthy: I would definitely go back. Its hidden between E. Valley parkway and Rose street, behind a Mexican restaurant and sandwiched between a pizza place and sandwich shop.

So good, hidden gem in Escondido!! The burgers were fresh and the fries were delicious. The staff were super friendly, will definitely be back.

Super busy new happening place with great ingredients. I had a smash cheeseburger, fries and a strawberry shake. The burger and shake were so freaking good. Others liked the fries but for me personally I don't like thick cut fries as much as I like thinner and I also like well done fries so for me personally I would get a burger and shake next time and skip the fries. You can tell this is family owned and operated, they are all super friendly and you can see how much they love what they are doing. The place is tiny inside with only bar seating for about 5 and then there are two small tables outside you can eat it. We got ours to go so no issue for us. The vibe inside is cool, they play good music and it feels energetic. I am sure loads of people will love this place and it will be super successful, we are all looking for places like Farm to Smash cooking with all wholesome quality ingredients. Farm to Smash will def be on my rotation list. Support local.

Stopped by this new spot since I was in the area and found out they had just opened two days ago for their soft opening. The staff was super friendly and shared a bit about their menu and ingredients, which was cool. We tried all four burgers on the menu, plus the loaded fries and garlic fries. The burgers had those crispy edges on the patties, and the beef was really well-seasoned. The fries were awesome too--fried in beef tallow for extra flavor, and the spreads are made with avocado oil, which was a nice touch. For being so new, they're off to a great start. Definitely excited to come back and see how they evolve!

We were on a family vacation and decided to try out this joint we found on socials. Upon arrival we were hit with a smile and great recommendations. The place is clean and casual designed for a good bite. Three OG burgers, regular fries, loaded fries, and two shakes later, we were all having our usual convo about what we would rate the burger--because let's be honest, the burger is the star and the rest are just supporting roles. Shakes: good. Fries: really good. Burger: WOOOOOW!! This burger is one of the most intentionally made burgers I've had in a long time. Homemade bun, freshly ground beef--this burger is done extremely well, and the taste reflects just how intentional they are. I rated it a 9.1 (9.3 is the highest I've ever rated a burger). This is one of those burgers I'd drive out of the way for and should be a must-try for burger lovers.

Brah they just opened this place by my house I can smell it gave me in and out vibes I like it !! Also love the fact that you can get your coke in a glass bottle.

I seen this spot on tiktok and it did not disappoint. As soon as I saw it was advertised as real ingredients with no seed oils or additives I was sold and had to make a trip to Escondido. I ordered the Original double and it was really flavorful and meat was juicy (I'm not a fan of burgers with thick meat but when I seen they really do smash their patties, I knew a ordering a double would be perfect). I also ordered small fries and only ate half, pretty good portion. The classic agave lemonade tasted so good too! I will definitely be adding this spot as my go to when craving a great burger. Another thing to point out is that after eating I didn't feel low on energy as I would with other burger spots. Luckily when we arrived it wasn't as busy and we were able to eat inside. Customer service: very friendly and attentive. Ambiance: small but pretty clean spot. Very limited seating in their dining section. Parking : several spots available. Had no trouble finding a spot to park. Would definitely recommend check them out!

All I can say is wow! If you like smash burgers, you'll absolutely want to try this place. Don't be thrown off by the smaller old timey strip mall location in Escondido, because they are doing everything right here. From their delicious homemade sauces, to their fresh cut fries cooked in beef tallow(trust me and try them loaded!), to the main event burgers made from freshly ground premium beef, freshly baked brioche buns, organic agave lemonades, and the best milkshakes made to order which can be jazzed up with their house-made strawberry puree. This burger joint is totally worth the trip to north county. I'm not usually a hamburger fan, because I don't like how it's being done at other places, the quality and flavor just aren't there. The food and the service are pretty great at Farm to Smash, and you can feel good knowing the ingredients in your new favorite burger and fries etc. are of the highest quality. We will for certain come back here again and again.

AMAZING! Got a double smash burger with bacon for myself and a patty for my puppy. The only smash burger I've ever had that I've loved! ...trust me I've tried a lot. And the garlic fries oh my goodness they're the perfect wedged fry still crunchy and perfectly salted. The strawberry shake is the go to refreshing sweet treat. Can't forget to mention I ate a double with fries and a shake and didn't feel sluggish afterwards. You can tell the difference when you eat seed oil free and fresh ingredients. No need to feel guilty! There was a lunch rush when I got in but still got my food quickly, was in and out and the service was amazing! Such kind friendly staff and you can tell they really care about the business with the way you're greeted when you enter and the way the food is executed. I miss it already and can't wait to be back! (tried to take a picture of the patties and fries but we ate them too fast :) )

I heard about this spot on TikTok. No seed oils? Bet! We talked about going all week, and were not disappointed! The staff were kind, the food was delicious. I got a delicious double burger, fries & a chocolate shake with strawberry drizzle (thank me later). My only recommendation is to get the fries well done, I wish they would cut them thinner... that is my only constructive criticism! Will definitely be back.

Have never been a fan of smash burgers but this was definitely a winner. Will be going back in the near future.

Flamin smash and garlic mushroom Smash were bomb. Great flavor, crispy meat. Fries are thick fresh cut fries. Love it!

Farm to Smash - A Healthier Burger Joint Done Right Farm to Smash flips the script on fast food by serving up burgers that are both indulgent and health-conscious. Their use of grass-fed tallow for cooking and freshly ground beef makes a noticeable difference -- every bite is rich, flavorful, and clean-tasting without the greasy after-effect of typical burger spots. The commitment to whole ingredients and traditional fats like tallow gives these burgers a nostalgic depth while keeping things nutrient-dense. Add in crisp veggies and house-made sauces, and you've got a burger that satisfies without compromise. A must-try for anyone who loves burgers but wants better quality behind the bun.

Came here on Sunday afternoon and it was busy. The restaurant is very small so we had planned to take our order to go. My husband had the double mushroom garlic burger and I had the single rodeo burger and we shared the strawberry shake. Everything came our great! We waited about 15 minutes for our order. I wonder if you can place an order for pickup? Even if we can't, we'll be back!

Such a great addition to the neighborhood. The burgers are delicious and team working the register have been friendly every time we've stopped in. This a new staple when we eat out.
