Oddly enough the best burger that I have eaten lately was at Shorty's Bar and Grill outside Osan Air Base in South Korea. Now it's been awhile since I have been to the states but these are good.

We got a Five Guys locally about a year ago and its pretty good. I was just in AZ and tried In and Out and wasn't impressed. Service was out of this world but the burger was just ok. However, I stumbled on a small place called Fatburgers in Phoenix that had one of the best I ever had. 1/2 lbs burger patties available in doubles or triples with every topping you could imagine. I had to roll outta the place! I'm still trying to work it off.

This place has one of, if not THE best burgers on the planet. It's a great ride from Austin (about an hour). With green chiles, avacado, bacon, and cheese - it's a LOAD. Their hand made onion rings are also world class. Fortunately it is a long way off the main roads so the crowd is mostly locals and die-hard burger fans.

It is possible that I've had a better burger and just don't remember, but there is a place in Arlington, TN called Off the Hoof and their burgers are great. I'm usually not one to go out for a burger 'cause I usually think that I can make better at home, but I look forward to Off the Hoof at least a couple times a month! You can order 4 oz., 6 oz., 8 oz., up to 16 oz. and then pick your cheese, add thing like grilled onions, jalapenos, etc. They serve onion straws, breaded french fries, cheese fries, and the frickles (fried pickles) are great too. Are you hungry yet?

(Those 12 cent burgers at Dairy Queen when I was a yound kid were pretty good too, but it was probably because that was about the only place where we got to go out to eat and that was rare!)

Marty - I've been to Cheryl's Diner many times (I have family in Ridgecrest) and almost forgot her yummy burgers, but overall her home style cooking is second to best.......Grumpy Bears, once upon a time, at least 20 years ago, made some fine burgers too...

The Chef's Table is in Rocklin... Off Blue Oaks and Lonetree.

http://www.chefdavidstable.com/

It's not a burger joint and the menu changes daily... small place and reservations suggested for dinner. Open for lunch too... GET THE PESTO FRIES!!!! Oh my... another fave of mine there are the chicken tacos. Everything I've ever had there is amazing. Call ahead if your heart is set on the Glazed Donut Burger... they have been known to do a "one off" for me and other customers even if it's not on the daily menu. Really great place all around.

Here's the Tomato Bisque Soup with Scallops and Caviar I had a few month's ago... Seriously amazing food here.

They do and in Galt, too. But the owner is always at the one on Power Inn. It's an industrial area....same as the one in Galt. But the lines are anything from blue jeans and t-shirts to suits to women in dresses and high heels......and there's always a line out the door (moves fairly well, though).

Hey JC - Wife and I rode up to Napa early today (beautiful riding weather) and saved our lunch appetite for a first time try back at the Squeeze Inn, Roseville .. WOW,, 5 Guys was number one on my burger list but i dont think anyone can beat a Squeeze Burger.. We sat at the Squeeze Burger bar and enjoyed our awesome burgers while watching the burger guy perform his magic cooking them up... I cant believe they must use at least a pound of cheese on each burger, and I love their Ice trick.. We couldn't leave Squeeze without buying one of their famous Squeeze T-Shirts. Anyone out for a good burger, you gotta try this place, and defiantly sit at the burger bar, you'll tottaly be entertained watching how they cook these up..

And for all you East Coaster,, Yes its worth the ride just to try a Squeeze Inn Burger..
