Smashburger is ranked No. 6 on Forbes' third annual America's Most Promising Companies list. According to a news release, Forbes' list recognizes the top 100 privately held, high-growth companies with "compelling business models and strong management teams, as well as notable customers and investors."

Smashburger previously ranked No. 1 on the inaugural list and did not apply for the list last year.

"2013 was another strong year for Smashburger and we are thrilled to be a part of Forbes' annual list once again this year," said Scott Crane, CEO of Smashburger. "We are extremely proud to be distinguished again as one of the nation's top 10 most promising companies. The fast casual industry has clearly resonated with the American consumer and we are pleased to be recognized as the only fast casual player on this list."
