Believe it or not - DC Hilton, ground Kobe beef with blue cheese - I've had it twice and it was fantastic both times; but then at the price it should have been!

For a burger joint: Whataburger double no onions with cheese and extra mustard is hard to beat. I've tried In & Out and Five Guys many times over the years and not been that impressed.
Culver's in Wisconsin. Love Shack in Fort Worth. But, really, I think the burgers I make for myself at home are the best. My kids say so too.

Funny you say that. My cousin, a politician in Washington (not DC), doesn't have any of those up there. The FIRST thing he does when he arrives here in Houston to visit is stop by one and enjoy himself. Originally Posted by Meoauniaea

Ok, one I had almost forgot about, it's been years.

Four Winds in Cusseta, GA. Home of the "Ranger" Burger. While not as popular their "Sniper" burger with jalapenos was my favorite. The things were huge, over 1 pound of beef if I remember correctly. Those of you that were permanent party at Ft. Benning probably know what I am talking about.

In Dallas-Kellers is fantatic. In Austin-Hut's Hamburgers and Mighty Fine. I went to 5 guys once and it sucked. (maybe they had a bad day) In and Out Burgers out west. I miss White Castles as well. It's probably because I can't get White Castle's , Kellers or In and Out in Austin. Hell....I remember thinking Coors beer was the best because they didn't deliver East of the Rockies. I haven't drank a Coors beer in 15 years.

Hubcap Grill in downtown Houston is fantastic. The Chronicle even gave them three stars - the same as the best fine dining restaurants.

Actually, in Phx I've found a tie between Uno's at AZ Center and this pretentious but delicious burger place called Delux. Delux also boasts 20 gabajillion types of beer and is open until 2 am.
