Tale of the Tape

(1) Smashburger

Neighborhood: Four locations (22nd and Kolb pictured)

Website

Cuisine: Burgers

Yelp rating: 3 stars

Entertaining Yelp review:  "So my odd complaint is the ketchup was just horrible. I don't know if they are buying low end and tossing their label on it but just a bad aftertaste. I am the guy who puts ketchup on his ketchup so I use a lot of it. Spend the extra few pennies on a brand name is my suggestion."

(16) Texas Roadhouse

Cuisine: Steakhouse, Barbeque

Entertaining Yelp review: "I need to apologize to Tammy my waitress, I was quit rude when I first came in. So I'm sorry it is unacceptable cause you did nothing wrong. You service was great. The food was actually good this time. The steak was cooked correctly, no onions when asked for mushrooms. Thank you again and I apologize for being rude."
