I walked into the sleek front room at Crave Burger and took a seat at a brown leather bench seat and soaked in the natural light reflecting off of the orange walls. It didn’t feel like I had just walked into any typical burger and shake diner. I knew I was in for a unique burger experience that was modern and innovative; changing how burgers and milkshakes are eaten. My waiter greeted me, clad in a bright orange t-shirt branded with their infamous Luther burger; a cheeseburger smashed between two glazed donuts. This burger really intimidated me! There was no way I was going to eat something so artery-clogging, so instead I ordered Love Stinks. The burger was delivered to my table with a swiftness, stacked with several gourmet ingredients including: “garlic cream cheese, garlic mayo, more sauteed garlic, roasted red peppers, crispy onion strings, and candied bacon.” (Crave Menu) All of these unique ingredients were carefully layered onto a certified Colorado Proud beef patty and smothered in red aioli sauce. Although all of that garlic was a little overwhelming, I still thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The smooth chewy texture of the peppers paired wonderfully with the crispy onion; and the salted, savory collection of garlic-esque ingredients balanced in near perfection with the sweet candied bacon. Crave Burgers, “Love Stinks” rekindled my passion for their extreme showmanship and innovation when it comes to serving up burgers. I would give this dining experience a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.

Holy freaking ground beef batman! This place is definitely one of a kind. The first time I had the opportunity to taste Crave was at the Denver Burger Battle. Although I was on burger overload, I did remember the BRAND as well as the TASTE of the burger, amongst the other 10 - 1/4 burgers that I ate that night! LOL I made the 30-35 minute trip to Crave and I can tell you what, they didnt disappoint. I had the Cubano with truffle fries and it literally shut me down! I can say with full confidence, this was one of the best burgers that I have tasted in my life. All the ingredients are fresh, the burger has taste to it, you dont need a bunch of condiments to make your burger whole. You order the burger, with the ingredients that come on it... and that is ALL YOU NEED! Along with that, I went out on a limb and tried the truffle fries, something that I wouldnt have tried otherwise, but the server made the recommendation and I ran with it. All jokes aside, I have NO PROBLEM driving 30+ minutes to come back to Crave for a quality burger, along with that, I will be sure to make sure I bring some company with me so they can experience the quality of a great burger like I did the first time. Crave, I am craving you... You will see me soon...

I love Crave, I live in Castle Rock and have been going to the one there regularly since I moved there 5 years ago. I went to this one because it happened to be closer to where I was this weekend. The food was still fantastic, but our server Sydney made our experience awful, and to ensure well never be back. We got there around 5:30 when it was fairly empty, and she sat us down. 20 min later, a HUGE group came in over the course of the next 10 min (like a 20 top), and she started sitting them all right next to us at a larger table. 7 minutes after we got our food, Sydney literally tried to give us boxes and push us out, because she underestimated the amount of space this group would take!! Even if she just owned upto it and offered to take off our appetizer from our check to switch tables it wouldve been fine, but she was so incredibly rude about making us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome so that wed leave, and she could combine tables. I overheard her telling the group that after we left, she could push our table over to them. Sydney should reconsider her rude actions if she continues to have a job in the SERVICE industry.

Never heard of this place but sometimes the universe just pushes you in weird ways. The family and i had tried to get a meal and walked into a couple places 1 place had an empty resteraunt but told us it would be a 5 minute wait for a table 10 minutes later we walked out, the next place was out of several items on the menu we liked so we walked out, we saw the Crave sign and walked in immediately greeted and seating the place was packed from there the night improved. Our server was friendly and courteous gave us her recommendations made my Bloody Mary personally which was a different but fantastic drink from a standard Bloody Mary. All of our food was cooked to our specific directions and was beyond fantastic. I had said earlier that service is out the window these days but not at Crave Burgers the food was really cool and tasty but the service was beyond fantastic. We will be back many times.

Creative burgers but a little on the salty side. It is to be expected though since this is a burger joint and my burger had bbq, bacon, onion straws, cheese and ham on it. It is on the pricey side for a burger but it has a ton of toppings on it so its worth the price if thats what you like. I also got a side salad but that was really just lettuce and croutons in a bowl no other veggies. I wont be getting the salad again. The service was decent and they refilled my drink without coming over every few minutes to ask me questions so that was cool. There were a lot of kids so if thats not really your scene I wouldnt suggest it as a hang out for adults to get away from children. I would get take out or eat and get out of there to avoid kid germs. I will be going back probably to try the Luther to see what thats about and some truffle fries maybe.

Better places in town to spend your money at. Service was lacking, the Manager (server) ignored us the entire time after taking our order. His excuse was he forgot about us, not true as he checked on table in front of us, behind us and next to us. I have been in restaurants for years as a bartender and waiter, we are very forgiving of staff being busy, forgetful and "in the weeds", however this was not the case. Would have loved to order more. He would not even drop off the check, we had to find someone else to get our bill and pay, after we had paid we got the lame excuse from him of oh was there something wrong. We asked to speak to the Manager he said it was him, we asked to speak with his boss, he said it was the owner and he would pass our info on to him. It has been a week with no contact from anyone.

Having a great selection of wild and off the wall burgers I chose the brisket burger. Topped with cheese and actual beef brisket, it was... well.. not as great as I hoped. Being that they arent a BBQ joint, I shouldnt fault them on the brisket... but on a basis of the burger itself, it was overly fatty and greasy to the point that it was just dripping to the plate. Not much flavor either and really expected more for the cost and hype. Still wasnt a bad burger... but I have had much better at places like Red Robin (pubhouse burgers) and Gunther Toodys. Fries also were a bit boring. The only saving grace was the wait staff.
