Smashburger BOMBS: Golden Valley, MN

Don't even THINK of comparing this place to the close-to-eclipsing-perfection Midwestern burger institution, Culver's.

• The store layout is lousy, featuring unbelievable disorder and confusion at the soft drink fountain, and pity the fool waiting in line to order, right in front of the high-traffic dining patio door
  
• The sliced tomatoes were white AND hard (Mr. Yuk face, here!)
  
• My burger was so greasy that even I was turned off (hard to believe, I know)
• The bacon (yup!) I paid extra for did not arrive until I was already done choking down the greasy patty and (did I mention?) the white AND hard tomatoes
  
• The menu we snagged on a previous drive-by said beer and wine is served there: IT ISN'T!

While the staff was friendly and helpful, that is about the only good thing I can say about this particular Smashburger. Absolutely will not be back.

Love,
