Don't know why there are so many negative reviews here. I came in and sat at the bar. My server was Alexis. She was an absolute delight. My semi is in the shop so after a bad day I wanted something nice. Chicken sandwich and fries was the best I ever hung a lip into. SERIOUSLY!!!! All the servers was very polite and attentive. Never ran out of soda nor good conversation. Give this place a 10 out of 10!!

Wasn't expecting much since it's in a hotel but I was wrong. The service was wonderful and the food was delicious. Things were fresh and fries were crispy and flavorful

Burger Theory definitely delivered! They offer inside and outside dining (pets allowed on the patio). The patio offers tables with umbrellas and a rock fire pit. The location is inside the Holiday Inn and if you’re a hotel guest, you can get room service from them. The burgers were absolutely phenomenal! They came out perfectly and were well seasoned. The French fries were a little too seasoned but still not bad and the salad was great. Overall, not a bad experience!

This was my second time going to Burger Theory. Went about 6 months ago and was so impressed then that I often mention it to my family again when we talk about going out. But this is the first time we actually went back. It was still very very good. Absolutely delicious. Both the fries (which are seasoned to perfects) and the burgers. I thought I was ordering the same burger as last time but I think I may have ordered the wrong one by mistake (they brought me the one I ordered so it was my mistake) but it was still very delicious. I took some photos of my the burger my father ordered and the one my nephew ordered as well. They all looked so good. The only problem is going to be trying to convince my family to go again before another six months pass :)

I had the BT Boss burger. If you love cheese, you will like this. It was delicious and our waitress and staff were great. We came to watch the Spud Kings play and they did everything they could to set things up right for us. We will come again.

We came here with very limited time and I was a little concerned because there was so many negative reviews talking about how slow the service is. We had no issues at all and actually got our meal very quickly. They did mess up our receipt but fixed it quickly. For being a burger place, the Philly cheesesteak sandwich was amazing. There was a lot of meat and there was a lot of melted gooey delicious cheese. Maybe a controversial opinion, but I don’t remember Franklin’s Philly cheesesteaks being as good. Note to self to go to Franklin’s to compare. My wife enjoyed the Farm Fresh burger. The French fries were also seasoned very well. Later that evening I ate them cold without heating them up. They were that good. I honestly was expecting a normal dining experience, but Burger Theory did a great job. They are very close to the Mountain America event center, so be sure to stop by when you’re watching the Spud Kings or going to a concert. I recommend Burger Theory.

I have always heard about good things here and was told to give it a shot. On this night, I was actually on the hunt for a burger and just really didn't want to make a trip to the Thorton area. So, I set out to Burger Theory after the good things that were said to me over a year ago. Man, I tell you it was worth it. I ordered the BT Boss, and it was worth it. This burger will not disappoint and will satisfy any man's hunger. It was well put together and destroyed. This burger was very juicy and cooked perfectly. It was balanced all around with not one ingredient overpowering another. It was worth every red cent. The services were very good, and the lady kept checking on us very often. The atmosphere instantly you could tell it was very relaxed. The service waitress was very patient and relaxed and kept checking in on us. The restaurant is a very modern look with multiple TVs above the table and above the bar. The bar was an in center and open and very inviting. The bathrooms are located in the sallyway between Burger Theory and Holiday Inn. They were very clean. The menu has pre made burgers and a build your own style burgers. The menu has a variety of other items but is mostly focused on burgers. So there are options. Definitely will come again. This place is in my personal Top 3 and is fire...

We enjoyed our burger here. The food is good. The breakfast is also great! I'd say just dim the lights slightly. It can be really bright in the evening when it's time to relax.
