This had two really thin patties and one slice of cheese in between.  This was a decent burger but pretty much just about the best of fast food burgers and not much more than that. Everything in it was pretty basic not anything too exciting and the tomato was hard.

This burger was by far better than Steak and Shake.  The burger was bigger and had better flavor and on top of that there were good quality toppings and more of them in fact I think the onion was a whole slice as well as good lettuce, tomato and pickles. It was hard to eat though with the lettuce having most of the sauce on it. This along with it being very greasy made it so you can easily make a mess if part if the lettuce comes out or the bun slips off which happened to me.

The Smash Burger burger was by far a better burger in just about every category.  Steak n Shake was cheaper, but you also didn’t get as much food.
