10 years ago I used to love going to Red Robin. Not a great burger but a pretty good one. Went there today with my son and thought I would get the $13.50 gourmet burger. Now I have this thing about resisting paying more than $10 for a burger. In fact, the only time I pay more than $10 for a burger is room service on a business trip. But then again that's not my money

Anyway, Im expecting this to be a big juicy burger. It turns out to be like the other Red Robin burgers: decent meat but not great, some gristle. Burger come out dry, nothing juicy about it. Not enough cheese to cover the burger. The only highlight is the ciabatta bun which was excellent. Fries we hot but overcooked and tasteless. Got the lemonade for $2.50. Doesnt compare to the new Friday's gourmet burger at $10. I wont be going back soon

You ever been to five guys? A meal there is like 12+ but the burgers are pretty big.

And you get a shit ton of fries. I thought it was cheaper than 12 though

5 guys wildly overrated. Thier policy is all burger must be well done which cooks the life out of them

I like 5 guys but it's really overpriced. And I think the burgers are actually small. Around me we have a place called Fat Burger. Now their is a damn good burger.

I love pickled jalapeños on a burger and most places when you get jalapeños they are pickled. I keep forgetting that five guys has fresh green jalapeños. I have to pick them off. They light me up. Five guys makes a great burger though. Fries are awesome too and they just dump a bunch in the bag.

Blech, red robin is awful. Five Guys and Smashburger are infinitely better.

And even better than those are a few places in downtown Denver. One is The Cherry Cricket and the other is My Brothers Bar. So fuckin good...
