So, Manhattan is getting a Smashburger Spring of 2010

EDIT:

Yep

It's not bad.  Hint-When they ask if you want regular or whatever the seasoned fries are called say regular.  I know this goes against everything you've learned about fries up to this point but they are grizzos.

YES!! Another hamburger place.

I will almost certainly say seasoned the first time, no matter what.

Freddy's fries = 

Disagree, I love Freddy's shoestring fries. Love the celery salt they sprinkle on them. The Chicago dog they have is pretty good too.

Not a fan of Vista burgers, but a fan of everything else they have.

Spangles, same way - their burgers are garbage.

I haven't had anything at Vista that I was satisfied with. The fries are bad. The corndogs at Sonic are better. Mozzarella sticks at Arbys are better. I've just never seen a reason for why people seem to like it so much.

As far as the burgers at Spangles... there's nothing special about the beef they use, but they offer enough toppings/options to make up for it IMO. If I could pick any fast food burger to have in Manhattan I'd go with either Five Guys or Hardees. It just doesn't make sense to me why a Spangles hasn't opened up here when there are four in Salina, several in Topeka, one in Lawrence and several in Wichita.

mhk apparently getting a smash burger.

Getting closer....

Manhattan

N. 3rd Place & Fremont St.
May 2010

They already have the sign up on the building 

[jrod_06]

.....Burger

Tastes great, try it.

 

[hemmy]

Sounds like a lot of calories

[ew2x4]

They're pretty good, but we have 6 places that are just like it. A few of them local places that are awesome.

[bigwillie]

Terrible compared to Five Guys Burgers, for those of you who live in wichita. 

[jtksu]

5 guys is that good?  Like some off the beaten path, rediculously good?  I'll have too venture out to the corporate place at 37th and Maize.  Not.  <---:eyeseeyouotherthreadaboutthingsyouusedtosaybackintheday:

[DQ12]

8 dollars for a burger and fries!
 

[Perry]

Ate both 5 guys and Smash when I visited my parents in Colorado Springs. Both good, honestly I wasn't blown away by 5 Guys, it's a solid burger joint but didn't stick out as anything special to me. Smashburger was one of my favorite burgers, love the tiny fries (had the kind with some olive oil or whatever, was tasty).

Far from a burger expert (Hardee's is my fast food burger of choice).

[steve dave]

5 guys is a little better.  Both have a pretty good burger.  Five guys has far superior fries though.

i'm with perry on this one.  smash > 5 guys.  also the 5 guys fries suck ass.   i wonder which one poonlagoon prefers.

[WillieWatanabe]

Tried Smash tonight... Burger was amazing. Fries were so-so. Guy i went with got jipped on fries, but that was his fault imo. Kinda of a weird place.

There is a rumor floating around that 5 Guys is in the near future for MHK.

i've come full circle on the Smashburger vs. 5 Guys debate and am now back firmly on the 5 Guys bandwagon as of Tuesday of this week when I found out you can order their fries "well done" which means they make them crispy.  which rocks.    also, last time i went to smashburger, it was just ok but VERY greasy. 

"oh-la-la!" i said when i bit into my hamburger!

[yoga-like_abana]

Great another hamburger joint, just what MHK needs.
And smashburger sucks. there fries and burger are are terrible they are soggy from all of the grease.
