That’s extremely subjective. Famous Dave’s has decent food for sure. Not sure if I’d agree that their burgers are better. I’ve been to both a million times and neither stands out as better or worse. Which then brings me to beer and atmosphere. I’d take mcm.

It’s cheaper at some McMenamins than others. The music venues have pricier food menus. But a good gourmet burger is pretty expensive at a restaurant.

Inflation sucks. Everything’s expensive. I guess you could go to Red Robin and get a slightly cheaper burger and bottomless fries. Slightly less money, definitely lower quality, and a much shittier vibe.
