BurgerBarr, Sewell, NJ (Hands down the best, choice of 3 different beefs, Premium Chuck, Blend (chuck & brisket), Kobe Wagyu)
Choices of 6 different buns, 9 different cheeses, 9 different sauces, 8 different toppings, mix & match.
Choice of 8 different sides from fries to cheese curds. Oh darn, I just drooled on my shirt!

Wayback Burgers (Above average)

Chris' Family Diner (Great Black Angus burger at a family diner, Allentown Pa)

My backyard after a trip to my butcher. The key is fat. You don't want too lean of a grind. Fat is flavor. Forget the diet if you want a good jucy flavorful burger. My butcher has a burger grind that has a perfect ratio of meat to fat. I also prefer a Charcoal fire. It's a little more work but it's worth it.

We have a couple of places to goto when I'm out and about or don't feel like cooking.

5 Star burgers. They use Harris ranch products which like.

Steel Bender. A local microbrewery that makes killer burgers.

Holy Cow - local owned drive in.

Rex's - Another locally owned business that's been around for a long time. They have the best onion rings around too.

Billy's Long Bar - Everything on the menu is good but their burgers are awesome. Great onion rings here too. The fact that they have 90+ beers on tap is bonus.

The Owl Cafe - A local institution.

In case you didn't notice I don't like chain restaurants and prefer locally owned and operated establishments.

The Owl Cafe - A local institution./QUOTE]San Antonio?
Queens Store - Mountain man burger (which has been renamed but still good)
What-a-burger in NM - Hatch Green chile cheeseburger, TX - Jalepeno cheeseburger...
Sno-to-go south here has good burgers.
(never got the attraction to Blake's, don't like their food)

No, the Albuquerque location. San Antonio, NM was first location though.

I used to like Blake's. But they have changed. Not for the better either.

The original Tommy's in LA. Ate at the OC location a lot, also. Burger's and Brew in downtown Sac. is great, but with lockdowns, hard to go out for a good burger. Otherwise In and Out is close.

Forgot to mention Hodad's in San Diego (Ocean Beach). The only burger I ever wilfully waited 2 & 1/2 hours for but it was worth it.

Culver's.

For our local I like a local chain, P Terry, Texas Is Hiding America’s Best Burger Chain

When I go back up north it's got to bet Fred's - Home

Anybody remember Friendly's? They had good burgers.

I do. Not for their burgers though. Their Jim Dandy ice cream Sunday was to die for. LOL.

 

[Radioguy41]

Their old fashioned phosphates were good too.

Looks like there are still about 100 or so left, all on the east cost-

Backyard barbecue has been my favorite of all. Next in line is Burger King.
