Best burger you've ever had

second the Five Guys + Red Robin

both outstanding

i'll throw in Outback's burger. their steaks are overrated, but their burgers rock

 

Burger Heaven in NYC makes a damn good burger, too.

 

Indeed. That'd probably top my list.
Also, O'Connell's Pub, in St. Louis. Nothing fancy, but a damn fine hamburger.

 

Holy freaking monkey shit. I'm going to forget I saw this thread. This, from the guy who had a side salad with no dressing and four tiny grilled chicken tenders with a spoonful of jerk hot sauce at Buffalo Wild Wings today.

 

Kincaid's on the west side of Fort Worth.

Carl's Jr.

 

The Fats Domino at Hut's Hamburgers in Austin, Texas.

 

FUDDRUCKERS!!!

That 1-pound burger is so friggin good. I haven't had one in 12 weeks since starting my diet. I've dropped 42 pounds, and although I know it's worth it and has made me feel better than I did in high school, I crave that burger.

What sucks the worst is they just built a Fuds in the damn mini mall where my gym is. I walk out every day to the smell of their grill. God Bless the smell of red meat on a grill.

 

I've had very good burgers recently at BLT Burger in New York and at Val's Burgers in Hayward, CA. I looove the burger at Higgins in Portland, OR.

A burger from the Stout in Manhattan. I've had a lot of good burgers, but maybe none as good as that one. Nice portions, but didn't fill me to where I was bloated and didn't want to move anywhere.

 

Funny thing, I go to Red Robin and never have a hamburger.

And, when I lived near one, I would go to Fuddruckers ... and never have a burger.

Five Guys is great junk food, though. I miss that joint a lot ... and thanks to this thread, I now see there are a couple in places I'm often prone to visit. Sweet!
