Ok, I have been eating healthy and excercising like a madman for nearly 8 weeks. I have lost 30+ pounds. During this time, I have not eaten a burger. I need one! Tuesday my daughter and I are going to the movies and want to try a place we have not been to; these two places are new to us. Help me decide! I will list my favorite BR burger joints below for taste references.

1. Mooyah
2. Maxwell's
3. Five Guy's
4. Burgersmith

Red Robin will forever be one my guilty pleasure restaurants. Every time I would visit my now wife in college we would go eat at Red Robin. I love the burgers and wings and getting bottomless steak fries with the burger is great.

Smashburger and its not even close. Red Robin tastes much more like a nasty chain restaurant burger

I didn't care for Smashburger but I would still go there every day over Red Robin. Red Robin is just a cheap chain restaurant on the level of Chilis and we went and had such horrible service that I vowed to never go back. Not even an offer of a free meal enticed me back. Service there is the worst I have ever experienced and it doesn't seem to be unusual to get the kind of service I got.

Red Robin is a guilty pleasure. My wife makes fun of me because I probably eat there once a month. The Pub Burger reminds me of the burgers they made at Bonanza/Western Sizzler when I was a kid.

Smashburger was OK, but the service was horrible when we went there a month or so ago

Fat cow has really high quality ingredients from bun to vegetables to meat. If you don't think its great, then you have no taste.

The general consensus on the board is:

1. Mooyah, Fat Cow, Five Guy's, and Burgersmith totally suck.
2. Mooyah, Fat Cow, Five Guy's, and Burgersmith are very good.

So is Fat Cow. Place is easily the worst of the burger places in BR.

Red robin reminds me of a burger chilis. Don't go to that shite. I give smashburger the nod because they have the best milkshake I think I've ever had that I didn't make myself.

Jesus Christ it's a fricking burger. There isn't that much of a difference between all these new fancy burger chains. They're all decent. The only burgers I am really impressed with are the ones I make at home.
