Reader: Cherry Cricket Is Overpriced, Overcrowded and Overrated

Everyone has an opinion about the Cherry Cricket, the classic burger joint in Cherry Creek that Gretchen Kurtz visited for her current review. She thinks it lives up to its reputation, but Javi disagrees: Overpriced, overcrowded and overrated for sure. Ruben loves the place, though: I love the Cricket! Great burger...

Ruben loves the place, though:

I love the Cricket! Great burger. Even though there are better burgers in Denver now, it's hard to beat the consistency of the Cricket. Currently my favorite burger in Denver is the one at the Squeaky Bean, but I always love getting the Green Chili, Cream Cheese burger over at the Cricket cooked medium rare. It won't let you down.

What do you think of the burgers at the Cherry Cricket?
