Forget Fast Food, Because the Smashburger at Smasheville is King

Sure, a cheeseburger from a fast food joint may be quick and convenient, but the perks often end there. When it's quality you crave, nothing beats the real deal, and for that, we're going local. Smasheville is an Asheville-based food truck that sources its ingredients from local farms, ensuring the highest standard of quality. The result? One of the very best burgers in North Carolina. See for yourself what makes these smashburgers so irresistible.

Here at Smasheville, it all begins with quality burgers. Sourced from Shipley Farms, the beef is pasture-raised and dry-aged. At the farm, the cattle graze on clover-rich mountainsides, an environment that provides a higher level of nutrients than more conventional lots. The burgers are then ground in-house and grilled to absolute perfection before being topped with cheese and other delightful ingredients.

Some of the options on the menu include the signature Smasheville (a double patty made from hand-ground dry-aged chuck, brisket, and ribeye with white American cheese on a Geraldine's bun) or the California (a single patty with lettuce, tomato, onion, crinkle cut dill-pickles, and cheese on a sesame bun.) Looking for something vegan-friendly? They've got that, too! The Veganville is crafted with a house blend of MN wild rice, local wild mushrooms, and Dare vegan roasted garlic cheese topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, roasted garlic lime aioli, and a local bun.

By all accounts, these burgers are outstanding. More impressive still is the fact that nearly every single item is made from scratch and sourced locally. This supports local farmers and artisans and ensures the freshest, most seasonable ingredients possible. As one reviewer noted, "The care, effort, and love that go into their food are worth every penny." When you buy a burger from this local business, you're supporting a whole network.

Smasheville really is all about community. In light of the devastation brought on by Hurricane Helene, the owners were able to provide thousands of meals non-profit in partnership with Mother Earth Food to those affected by the storm.
