The Quay in Marathon Key, Florida. Not the snooty upscale restaurant, but the little shack behind it on the water. Good stuff.

Dave Thomas's place, Wendys.

R.I.P Dave.

Four Winds Restaurant..."Ranger Burger", in Cusseta/Buena Vista, GA..

The best thing for a hungry Ranger School graduate, just down the road fom Camp Darby.

I've gt to PT twice as hard for a week to keep one of things from making my old bones even fatter!

e) none of the above

The best burgers are made at a privately owned drive-in in my hometown. Fresh chuck, ground daily. Says right on the menu board if you want it cooked well down you have to ask for it. They've been in business for 50+ yrs. So there's plenty of others who agree with me.

Plus they have their own onion ring batter receipe and hand dip their own rings. They're usually sold out of rings by 6:00-7:00 at night.

Would that be the old Red Top burger? We used to eat those back in the early 80's when we would visit Colorado Springs.

My vote is a Sonic Cheeseburger with mustard (formely known as a #2 with cheese).

You put in White Castle but not Krystal. Why?

Because Krystal are not much more than a regional knock-off of the original White Castle?

When did the first White Castle open?

A few years before the first Krystal.

I looked it up a few years ago in a similar debate, so I'm pretty sure about it. I believe that Whiteys are in fact one of the very first fast-food burger chains in the U.S., and were very efficient at making burgers. They used the square patty, and the holes to make it more efficient to make more burgers at once.

I'm not saying that Krystal suck or anything, just making the point that they are White Castle knockoffs.

Since the wife and I have a house in St. Louis (White Castle country) and a house in Nashville (Krystal country), I have most definitely tried both, and in my opinion, Whiteys are definetely better.

But, both are great, no doubt about it.

Okay - I'm so anal that I looked it up.

White Castle was founded in 1921

Krystal was founded in 1932 - and just happen to look exactly like White Castle. On Krystal's webpage, they brag about being the second-oldest fast food franchise in the U.S., but somehow neglect to mention who the oldest is. Wonder why.

I also like how they talk about how "distinctive" their burgers are.

In my opinion:

Culvers=best
In and Out next, and below that it matters little as they're all about the same.

The now closed Carey's on Cobb Pkwy was still the best.

The BA burger at Krystal is pretty good, but not that much for the money.

Wendys overall for food.

Actually, the best fast food hamburgers are in NE and IA are from a small chain called RUNZA. Damn good burgers made from fresh hamburger...never frozen.

Runza

<drool>

They don't quite beat Mac's DriveIn in McCook, Nebr. but their Runza's Swiss Mushroom Burger can't be beat. I've got to have one or three anytime I'm near a Runza.

Nope. See above post.

At Burger King I get a Bacon Dbl. Cheeseburger. At Sonic it's the Super Sonic with Jalopenos and mustard.

I travel all over this country working for Platt and then Carly's professional services division... the best burgers are In-n-Out, hands-down, for all chains. There are some awesome single joints that have real steak burgers unlike Steak-n-Shake (which are good, btw).

What-A-Burger is da best fastfood burger, ever!

As for local non fast food joints, well....Hole In The Wall made a great burger, and so does Walt Garrison joint in Downtown Dallas. I wanna try Purdy's in Addisson.

Whataburger is pretty decent, so is In-n-Out, and Sonic, and well several of the big chains offer a decent burger. My fav "big buck" burger is Fudruckers!! My fav burger from a "mom-n-pop" place was Red and White, just off State Street in Madison, WI. They're out of business now, but back when I was in college those burgers were awesome.

eta - I also agree with Culver's making a decent burger. Also another place in Madison that I used to eat was Steven's Bar & Grill just off East Washington. Excellent burgers!
