21 Best College Burgers in America

Isn't this article about burger joints on or very near campus?  Most, if not all, of the other places you are mentioning wouldn't qualify.

This is true. Guess I (we) went on a tangent to just burgers in the Milwaukee area. Around MU it would come down to Oscar's and Sobleman's.

Not to belabor the point, but Oscar's is over a mile away from campus, well south of Potowatomi Casino.  Not exactly in the neighborhood.

I would bet the walk from the AMU to Sobleman's is less than 5 minutes shorter than the walk from the AMU to Oscar's.

You know that there is a Sobelman's now where Angelo's used to be, right?

Campus to Sobelmans - 0 minutes.

Campus to Oscar's - 18 minutes

Yeah, but as is the case with almost all restaurants that make multiple locations, the original Sobleman's > Marquette's Sobleman's.

Oscar's over Sobleman's by wide margin IMO.

True, if it were a franchise arrangement... not so much when it's the same ownership, staff, vendors, etc.

Is that the same Oscar's on Hwy 100 (108th st) and Lincoln?

If so, could we consider Kopps an MU burger joint?

No.  That's Oscar's custard.  We're speaking of Oscar's Pub on 17th and Pierce.

Oscar's beats Sobelman's, but the best burger in Milwaukee is in between the two. The Blackjack at the Firepit Grill in Potowatomi beats either of them.

Im surprised people have an appetite after spending time in there.  Stale smoke, depression, and lack of hygiene doesn't make me crave a great burger.

Agreed on Oscar's outpacing Sobleman's to me the real difference is all about the meat.  Sobleman's meat is cooked to well done, and the quality doesn't seem to be as good as Oscar's where I can get my burger cooked less than well done.
