I recognize that everyones tastes are a little different and what I find excellent someone else may find distasteful. This is why some of us can't imagine certain restaurants thriving.

Personally, I've been in both Smash Burger & Crave and just couldn't justify spending the money they wanted for a burger. While I've eaten at Red Robin several times, I think their burgers are just okay too - but I love their endless fries (yum). Here in Colo Spr, my favorite burgers come from Freddies & Drifters (very similar style burgers). I haven't had a burger from anyplace in a long time that I thought was worthy of saying "oh man, that was awesome!"
Without question, every $25 room service burger I've ever had was awesome.

It has to be right?

It always tastes best when someone else is paying for it.
