Five Guys

I'm also low carb and eat burgers all the time....no bun!

… liable to wait 15 minutes on a TX burger

…. But it’s worth it

…. Making me want to drive to Crockett right now and get one lol

BK if we're talking fast food... followed by Wendy's.

Angela do you remember when BK made Burger Buddies? Their version of sliders? My brother and I went crazy for them when we were little.

Blake's Lotaburger loaded with Hatch chiles.

Raw meat is not safe to eat anymore.

Hands down Hardees.Best burgers there is.

Nope. When I was little, the town we shopped in had only a McD's.

…. Obviously you haven’t had a TX Burger

… be careful on the roof after such blasphemy

You can eat rare burger from places who grind their own. Or butcher shops that grind their own. You shouldn’t eat rare burger from packing plants that grind and tube everything they can get their hands on.

One I miss is the onion burger at J&J grocery (gas station) in McCalla, AL. It's just their hamburger, but they serve it up with a solid layer of diced onion. We locals gave it the onion burger handle. Used to swing by there for lunch several times a week when I was framing houses. Must've built several hundred right there in in Eastern Valley.

Ruby had a small steak my wife loved. I loved the burgers. Miss that place as well! Even the soup and very small salad bar was nice.

It's not the processing plants, it's the animals themselves. Mad Cow etc.

Back in the 70s, when I was working in a mine in Washington County, Pa., we would go to a bar in Finelyville . They made something called a Fat Burger. They would put a baseball sized ball of the ground beef on the griddle to fry. The greasiest hamburger meat I’ve ever seen. Kept mashing them as the cooked. Sure to clog your arteries, but man were they good. Gave you all you can eat fresh cut steak fries with it.

I guess I'm gonna have to take a road trip if I'm ever going to get to try most of those places. We had a 5 Guys but it closed. All but 1 of the BK's closed, I refuse to eat McDonald's. Not happy with Sonic so I'm left with WhataBurger locally. It's pretty good but I really would like to try something different.

….. but the best hamburger around here comes from the back porch bar in Trinity

Talking with Christine ... She says Chili's sliders. Of course that's her size as she struggles to eat a single hamburger from any of the fast food chains.

I would rather go to a local family restaurant for a 1/2lb mushroom and swiss burger with fries, if I got the time.

I was raised in the shadow of the original Hardee’s Corporate office (Rocky Mount NC).. Have always preferred their products. Now they cook them to order.

Hardee’s bought Burger Chef and Roy Roger’s Chicken many years ago. A Canadian company bought Hardee’s. Don’t know who owns them now.

I agree with you regarding their mushroom Swiss burger. So juicy and flavorful.
