Pearland Smashburger will feature a regional menu created with regional flavors and tastes in mind. The Pearland menu includes: The new Texas Jalapeño BBQ Smashburger made with layers of melted cheddar cheese, Applewood smoked bacon, grilled garlic jalapeños, haystack onions and barbeque sauce on an egg bun.

Named for the cooking method used to create the perfect burger, Smashburgers are 100-percent – fresh, not frozen, Certified Angus Beef smashed on a flat grill to sear in the juicy flavor. To further the “better burger” experience, Smashburgers are served on a toasted artisan bun and topped with a selection of real cheeses, the freshest produce, and top-quality condiments.
In addition to burgers, customers can enjoy a selection of grilled or crispy chicken sandwiches, grilled and split hot dogs, and signature salads, along with a variety of irresistible sides including rosemary and garlic – seasoned Smashfries, fried pickles, Haystack Onions, and Veggie Frites (flash-fried asparagus spears, carrot sticks and green beans). The restaurant will also serve a selection of alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages including local beers, wine, hand-spun Häagen-Dazs shakes and IBC root-beer floats in frosted mugs.
