Red Top

May 20, 2011 by Chris S. on Yelp

RATING: *

Before I explain my one star rating, let me tell you that I have been enjoying Conway’s for almost 15 years now. They were my favorite and practically a tradition. I’m not completely certain, but my co-workers and I suspect that they shrunk the patties. They are thinner and more dry than they used to be. It could be because they have been overcooked lately, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt on that one.

Five Guys
Burgers & Fries

Aug. 14, 2011 by TheMarcusGuy on Trip Advisor

RATING: ****

Two separate visits have caused me to conclude that the best way to enjoy a Five Guys Burger is after letting it rest, just as every fine cut of beef should. The extra bit of steaming that occurs in the wrapper, when left for 5 or so minutes, melds the flavors together providing a burst of juicy flavor that will rival most any Kobe Beef burger, but without the expense. A burger with lots of toppings, serve quick, surrounded by bags and bags of fresh peanuts... this is a carnivore’s delight. I must, however, use this moment to confess, that while I liked the seasoned fries... I love McDonald’s fries... they make me smile!

King’s Chef Diner

Sept. 15, 2011 by Nick A. on Yelp

RATING: ****

Take my advice; get the Green Chili Cheeseburger, then ask them to add fried egg and bacon to it. Yes, you will most likely look like a gluttonous pig, and particularly disgusting if you choose to pick it up and eat it with your hands like I usually do; but as people watch on in horror and shield their children, you will be eating what is possibly one of the single greatest meals I have ever head.

Drifter’s Hamburgers

RATING: *****

The Springs Best. A group of us (6) went on a Best Burger tour over 3 months. Hands down Drifters is on top. While the restaurant is pretty simple, the burgers challenge the taste buds. Dare you to try the big one!
