Smash It
When it comes to taking the kids out for burgers, you’re sure to have a smash hit on your hands when you go to Smashburger.
New to Canada, and completely unique to Calgary (with two locations in the NE and NW), Smashburger is a family-friendly burger joint that offers an amazing selection of delicious burger options and sides. Dive into one of many burger offerings’we loved the ‘Calgary’ with grilled onions, pepper jack cheese, Dijon-mayo and applewood smoked bacon (complete with the L & T) on a Kaiser. Better yet, get creative with their customizable options, where picky eaters get to be picky.
The burgers are classic but the variations are plentiful’from regular beef, chicken breast and vegetarian patty options to four artisanal bun varieties and cheddar, blue and goat cheese choices. Not to mention 18 toppings, including spinach and cucumber for veggie fans. Hot dogs, chili, sandwiches and salads also grace the menu, alongside generous kids’ meal options. Did we mention the Haagan Dazs milkshakes and fried pickles?
Order at the counter, take a seat in one of the stylish booths and wait for the food to come to you. We like that fast food with service means no juggling trays with kids tugging at your hip.
Go for a Smashburger for a big hit with the kids.
