Smashburger has partnered with Colorado-based faux meat company jack & annie’s for the test of a new plant-based burger made with jackfruit at select locations in Colorado, New Jersey, and New York.
The new Plant-Based Classic Smash Burger features a jack & annie’s jackfruit patty topped with melted American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, Smash Sauce, and ketchup, all served on a toasted bun.
In addition to the Plant-Based Classic Smash Burger, participating locations are also putting a plant-based spin on a variety of fan favorite items, including the Colorado Burger, Truffle Mushroom Swiss Burger, and more.
Here’s a closer look at Smashburger’s new plant-based burger lineup:
- Colorado Plant-Based Burger: A jack & annie’s patty topped with pepper jack cheese, cheddar cheese, grilled Anaheim chiles, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo on a toasted spicy chipotle bun.
- Truffle Mushroom Swiss Plant-Based Burger: A jack & annie’s patty with aged Swiss cheese, sautéed crimini mushrooms, and truffle mayo on a toasted bun.
- Avocado Bacon Club Plant-Based Burger: A jack & annie’s patty topped with freshly smashed avocado, applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, ranch, and mayo on a toasted multi-grain bun.
- BBQ Bacon Cheddar Plant-Based Burger: A jack & annie’s patty, aged cheddar cheese, applewood smoked bacon, haystack onions, and BBQ sauce served on a toasted bun.
- Bacon Plant-Based Smash Burger: A jack & annie’s patty paired with American cheese, applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo on a toasted bun.
As part of the test, the jack & annie’s jackfruit patty can also be swapped in for any beef, chicken or black bean item on the menu.
The new plant-based burgers can be found at select Smashburger locations across CO, NJ and NY for a limited time.

That they have a plant-based burger with real pork bacon in it makes no sense to me. That makes it not a viable thing to choose for vegetarians
