Best burger you've ever had

That's my wife's cousin. He knows his food.

 

For a chain restaurant in my neck of the woods, I'd go with Ruby Tuesday's. Great juicy burgers and a wide selection.

 

Jumbo Joe's in Lubbock. Fine cut of meat, great shakes to go with. Fries are greasy and awesome.

For chains, it begins and ends with In-n-Out.

 

It would be remarkably similar, I suspect ...

 

Agreed on In 'n Out for chains.

But I have to say that Ruby Tuesday's -- while not a place I go out of my way for -- has astonishingly good burgers.

 

Yes, and it is excellent.

Also, good call by Zeke on the Juicy Lucy. Never had anything quite like it.

Supposedly there's a place at one of the casinos in Vegas that has Kobe-beef burgers, etc., that's outstanding.

Hackney's in the Chicago area is excellent. Also, Nick's Tavern in Lemont, Ill.

In the fast-food division, major props to In-N-Out and Culver's.

 

And the worst service in recorded history as well.

 

Yeah, me too.

Damn, that sounds incredible. Where in Chicago is this place?

 

2900 West Belmont Ave., just off the Kennedy Expressway.

And just where are the Warrant and Nelson burgers?

 

People, You can have all the Red Robins and Ruby's burgers you want. I am going to go old school on your ass. If you're ever in New Haven, or driving through to the casinos, check out

First burgers ever sold in the U.S. (Library of Congress says so) Just don't order ketchup with your burger. The only burgers I have ever eaten in Manhattan have come from McSorleys Irish Pub. Maybe it was because of the copious amounts of beer being consumed, but I have a hard time believing there are any better.
