Best Burger you ever ate

[Clarence]

Great burger and real fresh cut fries.  Nookie Supreme is also great but you better be hungry.

My Brother in Law swears by the Lodge burger as well, but I think if you are ordering a burger in Minnesota it has to be a Lucy.

The Blue Door also has a great version of the Juicy Lucy......the Juicy Blucy.

Spotted Pig NYC.

close second.... the Black Label Burger @ the minetta tavern in NYC

I've eaten way too many burgers  to pick out just one as the best, but my current favorite comes from a brewpub in suburban Chicago (South Barrington, to be exact) called The Lucky Monk.

The Twisted Spoke near the UC can be awesome, but is also a bit hit-and-miss.

You sir are 100000000% correct on Lucky Monk. I just noticed this thread and was going to say Lucky Monk, thinking no one else had ever heard of it or been there. I too have eaten way too many burgers (my doc agrees) and hands down (right now) Lucky Monk is the winner. That place is awesome, absolutely love it. It's not just their burger, but the fries that go with it, fantastic place.

Nicely done suggesting it, kudos.

Also, I don't get the love for Shake Shack. Went to one of the locations in NYC after MU lost to Ville in the BET, didn't understand the hype at all, thought it was way over rated for all the hype.

For a chain burger, I've always thought Portillo's makes a solid burger. I was in Milwaukee a couple weeks ago, stopped at Kopp's, thought it was on par with a Whopper (which isn't saying much).

I had a fur burger at the yellow apartments in 1988 that was so moist I had to clean my ankles when I went home.

So glad, and amazed, that AJ Bombers hasn't been mentioned yet.

Gonna have to try the BigO. The picture looks amazing- very similar to a Sobelman burger; but still different.

I love Sobelmans and Five Guys (will have to try Oscars and Mazos and Stack'ds Hangover burger) but my favorite is back in St. Louis at a small diner called Carl's Drive Inn. Basic diner burger and it's delicious.

I just don't understand the Sobleman love.  The original tavern location is a cool story. I want to like the food, but I've given the burgers several tries, and I'm just not impressed.

Sobelmans was much, much better about 7 years ago before they got too popular for their own good. Now they over cook their burgers and skimp on the toppings.

Nice... consider the game started.

Matt's or the 5-8 Club?

Anyone in Milwaukee think much of the bugers at the 4th Base?  Pretty dang good back in the day.

Wendys!

Kobe beef sliders at ZinBurger on Camelback in Phoenix.  Salted carmel shake for dessert.

Had the same box lunch at the Y.

This is s tough question to answer, so I'll change it slightly to make it easy on myself. If I had to choose only one to eat from this point forward...Redamak's in New Buffalo, MI would probably be it. For th erecord, the fries served a long side are an important factor. Good fries seem to be harder and harder to come by these days.

[mugoose]

yes, reds is awesome. it tastes better bc you can only get half the year, too

[warriorchick]

Okay, maybe not the absolute best burger I ever ate, but one I wish I could still get....

Chiliburger at Wales on Wells.  Washed down with an Oreo shake.

[77fan88warrior]

This.

The family and I stay at the Hilton Suites right down the block. Wife and Daughter go to American Girl Cafe, and I meet up with firends at Rosebud for lunch....


EDITED FOR PICTURE

Rosebud does have an awesome burger but I yearn for the old Gymburger as well!

[tower912]

Redamak's is a popular place for my family to gather, as New Buffalo is as close to a halfway point as anything.   I have eaten their burgers a few times and.....meh.      Good, but not mind boggling.

Matt's any day of the week over the 5-8 Club.

Anybody in Chicago should try Bad Apple on Lincoln in Lincoln Square. Great burger selections (haven't had a bad one yet) and an impressive beer list to get lost in. Not sure it ranks as the best, but damn tasty.

[StillAWarrior]

I'm honestly having a hard time deciding, but you're all definitely making me hungry.

Locally (Cleveland-area), for a quick and gooey type of burger, I'm inclined to go with Swenson's Galley Boy. I love them.  For a more substantial burger, I'll go with Whitey's.  I love all their burgers, but the chili burgers are awesome - served in a bowl.


I hit an interesting burger joint in St. Louis a couple of weeks ago - Bailey's Range.  It was St. Patrick's Day weekend and they had a couple of burgers made from corned beef.  Different, but very tasty.

The Blue Door is amazing!  A must stop when visiting the Cities.

Awesome burger in MKE that no longer exists... The Ardor.
