I do agree a homemade burger is mighty tasty...
Didn't Eddie Murphy do a skit on a kid wanting a "Mac-Don-Oh's Burga" - with the pink dough...

5guys is bottom of the barrel shit burgers.
I agree with Luke. Even if they do use butter for flavor, at least there is flavor... and it's good. I like their variety too, from the basics to specialty burgers with blue cheese crumbles and more. Rosemary fries are bangin'! I try not to eat this greasy often, but when I do, it's a welcome meal. All 3000 calories worth, or so it seems.
There's a place by where I live called Jake's Wayback. I think it's also a small corporation, but I'd rate them up there as well for flavor and their giant onion rings.

If ever at Halters a want a burger hit up Tigers Tale across the street. Not bad
The fact that everyone has their own shitty opinion in here regarding burgers is why we have 20 different burger places. It's funny, I can go to 5-guys or Smashburger and think "damn this is a great patty" and then the next guy hates it and want's to go to wherever else. I'm not right, it's just taste bud differences. Unless they prefer McDonalds and they are a low life loser, but whatever.
Smashburger does do it right by having the variety. As we eat there way too often and I eat the salads I at least have the choice of 4 different salads and can top them with two different types of meat. 5 Guys is burger or hot dog. 25 Burgers is 3 different types of burgers with different toppings that has an 80% chance of giving you diarrhea. All of the other fancy burger places can be OK but you'll walk out feeling ripped off. Shake Shack is OK but over priced. The Bobby Flay place was kind of the same.
Smashburger and 5 guy's selling points are the burgers. It's not some fancy sauce or anything else weird. Smashburger does have the friendliest staff of any store out there. 5 guys seems to specifically hire people who must have been screaming the previous night at a concert to call out the order numbers.

there is a place called Zin Burger near us that is awesome but also very expensive but still pretty awesome
Zinburger is coming to the corner of 10 and 202 in Parsippany/Morris Plains (where Chevy's was), which is right near my house. The wife and I went to the one at the Garden State Plaza to check it out, and I think we'll be there quite often once ours eventually opens. Yummy burgers and cheap wine. It's expensive compared to other burger joints, but cheap for a night out compared to other places we go to dinner.

I was talking with @pooriggy last night. He rates his burgers on ONLY the patty as if it exists in a vacuum. Okay that's fair, but he doesn't like that I rate them with the whole plate of food. I can appreciate that he's really into the burger meat and enjoys that.
I personally really like a really grainy bun, slices of avacado, maybe some bacon (i'm not a bacon worshiper) and a plate of sweet potato fries. Iggy thinks this is a distraction to the real point of the meal, the burger itself.
So okay, we rate things differently.

i call that bad meatloaf.
The problem I have with a place like Smashburger is they add a bunch of goodies to a burger in the hopes of making the burger taste better. IMO it does not work.
Start with a good burger and build from there my friend, don't polish a turd.
The sad thing is most people don't realize this. They are so caught up in getting the biggie fries, bacon, cheese, avacodo, tomato, lettuce, special sauce...All this crap just camouflages what you are eating.
I maintain that Bobby Flay's gets it right, they serve a tasty burger with topings that compliment the patty...not conceal it.
