Smashburger Opening Oct. 26 in Kildeer

Restaurant will feature burgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, fries and more.

Smashburger, the nation's fastest growing “better burger” restaurant, is set to open its ninth Chicagoland location on Oct. 26. The restaurant will open in Kildeer at 20771 North Rand Road and brings their signature smashed-to-order burgers, Häagen-Dazs shakes, tempting sides and regional menu items crafted to please Chicagoans’ palates, to this northwest Chicago suburb.

In Chicago, guests can enjoy the signature Windy City Smashburger, which is a 100 percent Certified Angus Beef burger, topped with layers of melted cheese, haystack onions, lettuce, tomato, and Gulden’s® mustard on an artisan pretzel bun. Chicagoans can also enjoy other menu items made especially for their taste buds, including Johnsonville® Polish Sausage, topped with grilled onions, American cheese and Gulden’s® mustard ,as well as the Chicago Smashdog that features yellow mustard, pickles, short peppers, tomatoes, sweet relish and onions. 

Named for the cooking method used to create delicious burgers, a Smashburger is 100 percent fresh, never frozen, Certified Angus Beef smashed on a flat grill to sear in the juicy flavor. To further the “better burger” experience, every Smashburger is served on a butter-toasted artisan bun and topped with a selection of real cheeses, the freshest produce, and top-quality condiments.
