US-based fast-casual restaurant brand Smashburger has opened a new outlet at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW).

The restaurant is located near Gate B19 within the McNamara Terminal, and offers a breakfast menu tailored for travellers with options such as bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches and grab-and-go breakfast wraps.

Customers can also order a range of certified Angus Beef burgers and chicken sandwiches.

The venue also provides quick-service items such as Chicken Tenders, Tots and fresh coffee.

Smashburger president Jim Sullivan stated: “Detroit is a city with deep culture and energy, and we’re proud to bring our bold, best-in-class burgers to its travellers.

“This opening reflects our commitment to making Smashburger more accessible in high-traffic, high-opportunity spaces like airports, arenas and beyond.”

This location is operated in partnership with SSP America, a division of SSP Group, which oversees food and beverage services in travel settings worldwide.

SSP America brands and concepts senior director Natalie Greene stated: “At SSP America, we’re committed to bringing cool, authentic restaurants to airports that reflect the tastes travelers crave.

“Smashburger’s bold flavours and modern take on the classic American burger make it a standout addition to DTW — offering the quality, speed and comfort travellers crave.”

In April 2025, Smashburger added the Jalapeño BBQ Bacon Stack Smash to its menu offerings.

The new item combines applewood smoked bacon, jalapeños, BBQ sauce and melted American cheese with an Angus beef patty.
