There's another one where Honeybaked Ham used to be around 119th and Strang Line, and I can't tell a difference between the two.

(I like them both...)

Good joint, but way over-priced.

5 Guys is pretty overrated.

You know who has a surprisingly good burger? Old Chicago, man. Their mushroom swiss is freaking amazing. It drips enough juices when you bite it to fill up a freaking bucket.

If you think 5 Guys is overrated, then you think they are on a par with McDs, Wendy's, Burger King, etc.

Thats insane.

There isnt much difference between 5 Guys, Smashburger, and RR.

Culver's isn't in the class of red robin or anything, it's better than fast food though. The real beauty is the cheap prices, expansive menu and the dessert options.

Maybe I should go when it isn't a busy period,I know that the IHOP up here is the worst breakfast place around here, and that is really saying something. IHOP off of I-70 in Independence was always good, but up here its like a ghost town.

That doesnt sound like a red robin at all, the burgers are pretty large. I doubt corporate is sending different stock and bun sizes and everything else to that one store

I think five guys is overrated too. Just another burger place in the "better than fast food" mold.

Agreed. They have good food in general and a nice beer selection. Underrated

And if you pay an extra $1, you get them with garlic butter. And, being a fat person in a skinny body, I tend to ask for the waitress to bring some out ahead of the burger so I can munch on them before the burger gets there.

I love me some Red Robin, but there's no question that it's pretty overpriced.

As to the Culvers suggestion - that's one of the best chain burgers. Whataburger tops them, as does Braums, but Culver's makes a tasty burger.

Five Guys is good, but not amazing. It's right on par with the rest of the names above but some folks absolutely wet themselves over it - I don't get it.

They just opened up a 5 guys in my area. It was a big disappointment.

Their food is pretty decent. I get tired of it though, been there many, many times. (world beer tour)

I have a Culver's sourdough burger on my desk that I'm about to dig into...it looks pretty greasy. I was pretty underwhelmed by the cheese curds, they were a bit overcooked.

My personal preference I would probably rather have Culver's than Red Robin or 5 guys.

Just beware of the Pink Slime in your burgers. It's everywhere.
