Baltimore got its first Shake Shack in February. The burger express is about to pull into Baltimore again.
Smashburger, a Denver-based restaurant company boasting burgers made with "100 percent Certified Angus Beef" is going to open in early April, according to a news release sent by a company spokeswoman on March 13.
Update: Smashburger will open on April 29.
The restaurant will be located in the Marketplace at Fells Point, a new residential-retail complex on South Broadway between Aliceanna and Fleet streets.
Customers wait in the cold for Shake Shack Opening
Along with its Smashburger, which is "smashed" on a 400-degree grill to sear in flavor, the fast-casual restaurant also serves grilled or crispy chicken sandwiches, fresh salads and a variety of fries.
Smashburger's Baltimore location will feature unique items like the Chesapeake Smashburger, a burger topped with cheddar cheese and Tiger Horseradish Sauce, which is made in Baltimore by Tullkoff Food Products.
The new store, 616 S. Broadway, will be open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
