The BEST and possibly only REAL smash burger in and surround Denver. All others claim smash but only light press patties on grill. This leaves for a Mac Donald’s style patty, not at daltons! I love that the don’t do too much and do the burger well. As long as they stay consistent (seems to be the issue with all other “smash” burger places) they will be here for a while. Go get one now!
