Have you tried grinding the meat yourself, 70% meat, 30% fat or 80/20? The meat you use is important. Any meat that would make a good steak should make a good burger, so long as you include enough fat to make it juicy. Sirloin is a good choice. The reason that grinding it yourself makes a difference is that pre-ground burger meat, even if it's a good cut, which it usually isn't, is that it starts losing moisture once it's ground. So, the sooner after grinding that you make the burger, the better it will taste. I add a little steak spice. Pack your burger very loosely, thinner in the center, so you don't end up with a ball of meat when it's cooked. If you're grilling the burger, sear both sides of the burger on a very hot grill, then reduce the flame to finish cooking. If you're frying, sear both sides on high, then reduce the temperature and put a lid over the burger for a couple of minutes. If you grind the meat yourself, you can get away with a medium rare burger.
Combined with your freshly baked bun and choice of toppings, you should have a burger to rival or exceed anything you get in a burger joint.

The biggest difference is the fresh sliced meat. Fresher tastes better. I don't believe them on the "made by someone else" thing. In fact, I know it's the exact opposite for me. Their attitude is definitely going to make a difference. Way back when I worked at Blimpies, some customers would wait for me to come in before they would order. I didn't put them together any differently, but I treated the customers as if they were old friends. I would talk to them, joke with them, etc. That makes a difference. You enjoy it more because you enjoyed the entire experience more.
