Smashburger, a Denver-based burger chain, opens its first Arizona location Wednesday on College Avenue north of University Drive next to Arizona State University.

The restaurant’s third- and half-pound burgers, made with fresh Angus beef, are smashed on the grill to sear and seal in flavor.

Beside Smashburger’s four standard burgers, the Tempe location features a special Arizona burger made with habanero cheese, jalapeños and chipotle mayo.

The menu also includes chicken sandwiches, hot dogs and salads.

Denver-based Smashburger, which had planned to open its first Arizona restaurant Thursday in Tempe, has delayed that opening until next Wednesday, Oct. 7. The restaurant will be at 777 E. College Ave., near Arizona State University.

Another incoming burger chain, Virginia-based Five Guys, has numerous “Coming Soon” plastered on its first Arizona location on Mill Avenue. A spokesman says the Tempe location will open in early December “at the earliest” — and maybe not until early 2010.
