Id prefer any 1/2 pound black n bleu burger from a tavern over any of the fast food joints. Mushroom and swiss is a close second...with onion rings of course

Savell this place is purported to have Atlanta's best burger.



Here's the menu.



I drive by it from time to time but I'm afraid to stop, lol.

Nope never have

Pretty hard to beat the consistent quality and value of Culver’s !

OR::: Two Large Fries, One Chilli and add Two Cheese cups and some Jalapeno peppers. on to the fry order. Awesome Chilli cheese fry made on the run.

I'd say Culvers as far as fast food burgers go.

I don't understand the hype over Five Guys, or In n Out. Hardees isn't what it used to be. I was about addicted to Hardees Frisco Burgers when I worked at the feed mill when I was young. Seemed to get one about everyday. We got a Mushroom and Swiss burger at the one here awhile back and it wasn't that good. To both of us Kwik Trips Mushroom and Swiss is better than Hardees. Steak n Shake has their place and if we're traveling down south we'll usually stop at one. The special on shakes in the afternoon can't be beat.

That TX burger looks like a good place to try if we get that way again.

We've got a real popular place here in Prairie du Chien called Petes Hamburgers. It's a little tin shack that's open Fri - Sun, from May to mid October. They cook their burgers in water and you can get them with or without cooked onions. I haven't had one in a couple years now but they do a heck of a business.

I'm surprised at the number of people picking Culvers. Just a smashed out thin patty or two on the flat top. I was never impressed with their burgers.



They have the best fries too. I'll have to give your "recipe" a try.

In-N-Out

The Blake's locations can be hit-or-miss (being a chain), but you can't go wrong with the Owl Cafe.

Primantis Bro's.

Not from the many "chains" around, but from the original in the Warehouse district in Pittsburgh.

I loved the little old lady that waitressed there.

Your burger would come out with fries and coleslaw on it. If you tried to order it without either of those 2 she'd tell ya to leave, and move on to the next person in line.

It was designed for the many truckers that wanted an easy meal to eat in their trucks without having multiple containers for everything.

I do like 5 Guys, but dang they got real pricey.

Back when McDonald's cheeseburgers were on the dollar menu. Yup they were small , but only $1.

Just before that , they actually had McDonald's double cheeseburgers on the dollar menu , again , small , but I swear they tasted better because it was only $1

Like the saying goes ' food tastes better when it's free '

Not quite free , but I ate a ton of them back then.

Haven't had a McDonald's cheeseburger in a long time. They don't taste as good now that they cost $3 plus for the single cheeseburger.

The hot apple pie wasn't bad for $1 too. Same with the small fries for $1. Add the any size soda for $1 , it was a slam dunk deal.

Can’t do McDs here they can’t get anything right no matter how simple you make the order. A double burger plain is a bridge too far like it’s rocket science. If by some miracle they did get it right it’s drenched in salt/pepper making it uneditable. I tried ordering a double plain when I was out on town it had everything on it I just don’t go there it bad for my blood pressure not the salt but the service.

Culver’s gets it right consistently and it’s always a quality burger both the fries and cheese curls are tasty. Best reliable quick burger on the road. When I’m in MO I do the Steak and shake burger. Freddy’s is a little over salted for my taste.

I like a cheeseburger or California burger with a raw, slice of Vadalia onion.

Yes

The worse burger patty out there is the that soft serve shack 5 point frozen one that never seen a cow in its life burger. Mystery meat for sure.

Yep,

Even when traveling I ask the locals at a gas station where's a good restaurant to eat at.

When hunting out of state the mom and pop places are the best value the food chain restaurants find creative ways to give you less and less. Heck they can slice a single slice of bacon so many different ways you can see through the slices.

Bacon Cheeseburger from Miss Judy's in Waldron, AR. Get it with fries & a custom mixed cherry cola. The best. If you're ever traveling US71 make a stop. Its old school, local place with inside & outside seating but beats any chain.
If I had to go with a chain I guess Hardee's or Chili's makes a decent burger. Hog Wild in Billings was pretty good. Can't stand McD's or Steak--n-shake, whataburger, etc.
