Colorado Smashburger and Colorado Big Dog

October 7, 2025

Fast-casual restaurant company Smashburger announces the return of its Colorado Smashburger, back by customer demand, alongside the debut of its new Colorado Big Dog. Additionally, Smashburger has expanded its $4.99 All-The-Time Value Menu, with the addition of the barbecue-themed Cowboy Big Dog and the herb-marinated and butter smashed and seared Deluxe Chicken Smash. The Cowboy Big Dog is topped with smoky/sweet barbecue sauce, chipotle mayo and crispy onions.

The Colorado Smashburger and Colorado Big Dog celebrate local Colorado flavors. The Colorado Smashburger features Smashburger's signature Certified Angus Beef burger topped with grilled green chilies, melted aged cheddar and pepper Jack cheeses, lettuce, tomato and mayo on a spicy chipotle bun. The Colorado Big Dog delivers the same Colorado flavors in a quarter-pound 100% Angus Beef hot dog that's split and butter-grilled, served on a toasted New England roll topped with cheddar cheese sauce, grilled green chilies and chipotle mayo.

"Our loyal guests have spoken, and we've listened. We're excited to welcome back the beloved Colorado Smashburger and introduce a bold new addition to our menu, the Colorado Big Dog," said Jim Sullivan, CEO of Smashburger. "These Colorado-inspired items deliver the bold variety and rich flavor profiles that define our menu. From our signature classics to regional favorites and specialty burgers that you simply can't find anywhere else, we're committed to giving our fans the great taste they crave without compromising on value or choice."

Smashburger's expanded $4.99 All-The-Time Value Menu now features the Deluxe Chicken Smash, and new Cowboy Big Dog, alongside the Americana Big Dog, the Deluxe Smash, and All-American Smash.
