my vote has to go to in-n-out also..they built one by my old house in scottsdale about a year and a half ago..omg sooo good..

and while i wouldn't say its the best burger ever..sonic's green chile cheeseburger (w/mustard..not mayo) with tater tots & a cherry sprite or an ocean water is great when you're hungover :)

dzrose is right! hurrumph!

I'm an eastcoaster, but I've gotta say In-and-Out are the best burgers I've ever had. I have a lot of family out in California, and whenever we go out we make a stop at the In-and-Out's in California or Vegas.

Also - the real Cheers in Boston (actual name of restaurant is Bull and Finch Pub) has some very good burgers too.

A couple of little stands around me at home in CT have some good burgers as well.

my boyfriend is a freak who likes just about everything thinkable on his burger, where as I am simply a burger and ketchup kinda girl...

Another vote for In-and-Out! Cheeseburger, Animal Style. YUM! :)

When they opened an In-and-Out near my college, people camped for *days* to be the first in line. That's a bit over the top, but the burgers are that good!

MMMMMMMM, Burgers :0)
 

There is nothing better than a burger right off of the grill, but when I can't get that, I go to Fuddrucker's. I get it with chili, cheese, mushrooms, ketchup, mayo, relish, letuce, tomato, and bread and butter pickles. Huge side of gravy and cheese steak fries and a Lipton Raspberry Ice Tea.....OK, NOW I'M HUNGRY! Oh, the two fast food chain restaurants I like are Checker's and McDonald's. Other restaurants with good burgers are TGI Friday's and Cheesecake Factory!

fuddruckers?
 

is fuddrucker's like fudpuckers?

Re: fuddruckers?
 

we always called it pudf*ckers..but sure :)

You're being facetious, are you not? Whenever I go see my cousins out in Brooklyn and Long Island they love actually TORTURING me with White Castle. Even though I don't eat red meat, I am not one of those people that are normally repulsed by the sight of red meat. But can you even call their meat meat ? I mean c'mon, kids, they're sqaure with these disgusting little ventilation holes and soggy bread. Their fries aren't even good. And it's pretty hard to mess up fries. Sorry, folks. Maybe I'm just spoiled with all the good Cali fast food. Good fast food....Is that an oxymoron? ;)

Oh, we have the BEST burgers in the world here. We have a local place called Swenson's Drive-In.....there are probably 5 or 6 of them in the area. They have the most delicious cheeseburgers anywhere. I have no idea what their secret is but MMMMMM! I get them with ketchup and pickle.

There is also a place near Cleveland called Whitey's that is legendary but I haven't been there yet.

my two cents
 

if you are ever in el paso...roscoes is superb for your basic burger. cattle baron if you want a little pricier number. you can have all the fixins at both including chile...green or if you are brave, jalapeno.
yumm
:p
