The food is fresh (non-frozen) and the meat non-greasy.
And it costs about the same.
I've reached the point where if I want a burger, I want a really good one, and these days there are only 2 chains that I consider really good. Much as it annoys me to say it, Bobby's Burger Palace is one of them (Bobby Flay himself I find incredibly irritating). I get their bunless burger over a salad: good quality beef, good quality greens, and their fries aren't bad at all.
The other place we like is The Counter, which has a variety of meat choices for the patty, different buns and some salad options for those who don't eat buns. I just wish there was a location nearer to us than the one in Times Square.
We used to go to the local Five Guys when my son really wanted fries, but since they switched over to the horrible 50 flavors Coke machine for soft drinks, we don't even do that. (NOTHING out of those machines tastes right!)
