Smashburger, a fast casual “better burger” restaurant concept will soon be opening in Nebraska. The first store is scheduled to open in Omaha at 123rd and “L” Streets on October 17, 2009. The store will be open from 10:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. seven days a week.
Smashburger is a fast-casual restaurant concept featuring 100-percent fresh-never-
“We’re excited to bring this unique burger concept to beef-loving Nebraskans,”
“Smashburger is a strong business model which is something we look for as experienced franchisees. In 2009, Smashburger was named a Hot Concept! by the editors of Restaurant News – only two years after its first store opened.”
“We are thrilled to become part of the Omaha dining landscape,” said Tom Ryan, founder of Smashburger. “Nebraskans are some of the nation’s most enthusiastic burger lovers and Smashburger is thrilled to introduce them to our better burger.”
In addition to the usual selection of Smashburgers from which to chose, Nebraskans will have the Husker burger to call their own. Featuring A-1 steak sauce, haystack onions, garlic sautéed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise on an egg bun the Husker burger can be either a one-third or half-pound ball of beef smashed on a flat grill to sear in the juices.
Although Smashburger is known for its savory burgers, the restaurant also serves up delicious Smashchicken sandwiches, Smashdogs, and Smashsalads, with sides like veggie frites and rosemary and garlic–seasoned Smashfries. Burger lovers can pair their meals with beer, wine, Häagen-Dazs shakes, and root-beer floats.
