Favorite Burger Chain in SA

I was thinking about starting a thread about burger joints.. NOT FAST FOOD!!!
'Ya know the ones where it is served on an actual plate with a fork... AND plenty of napkins! Fries Onion Rings... hell I don't care.. just give me a good burger! Throw in a good Margarita & I will be in heaven.

I would like to hear who has a damn good burger.. one that some have us have found.. it could be a chain... example, Burger Fi (?), Red Robin, Stoneworks, Chesters...whoever... etc...
The vote was rigged because of all you Texans. Whataburger is good, but it's strictly Southwest. I would demand a recount, but then I'd have to give a sh*t.

I ate there in the 70's!!!!!!!!!!!and was served by "Mr.(BIG ED) Thomas" as he was just getting started.> I hear he sold out at 50 stores!!!!!!

PS the best burger in my opinion is my 4 cheese stuffed smoked filet mignon burger only available in my back yard off my New Braunfels smoker. When I go out I eat what I either can't make at home or just too lazy to do so.

Timbos.

Than there was the dive by the old Century South theatre called SA Burger. I really liked that run down place.

Out of towners have told me they love the Real Burger at The Cove.

Red Robins. I worked in CA for a couple of years and all my coworkers were raving about In-N-Out. When I finally tried it....Meh...Prefer Whataburger. This new In-N-Out was messed up the traffic on that street. I live near there and its been a mess. Hope it clears up soon.

Im just happy more well know burgers are coming to town! More selection better options, i think you should separate chain burgers restaurant and local burgers restaurant. Locally momaks is something else.
Have yet to try smash burger...although, I'm not a huge fan of chains...I have some great local places I have a hard time straying from if I want a good burger.
Since the sad demise of Little Hipp's on McCullough, the crown now rests atop the Cheddar Burger at Chris Madrid's. Longhorn Cafe on Blanco is heir-apparent.
Without a doubt...Chesters. Whataburger... seriously???

I don't like joints that have heavy burgers. I don't like to feel like I'm eating a brick, especially as I get older and have to take weight and health into consideration.

I had a Whataburger, maybe 3 weeks ago. I couldn't finish it. It felt too bricky and dense. Tasted OK, but nothing that I'd miss eating.
