Seattlegirl, yes, that's about my favorite restaurant. But I'm sure there are many great burger places in Seattle, too! Smiley Happy

I'm not Jules but that's the Cozy Inn (Salina). THE best burgers EVER!! They're the little ones (I can't think of the name). They're famous!! It's a little walk up window joint. If I remember right, there may be a stool or two inside, but that's it. Americana at it's finest!

Yes! The Cozy Inn...the way she described it makes me hungry. They serve sliders, right?

Either The Burger Joint at Le Parker Meridien or the Shake Shack - both in NYC.

The Burger Joint is a hole in the wall at a very posh hotel....it's in the space where they used to store luggage.

The burgers are very juicy in both places! Plus the atmosphere is fantastic.

I like Five Guys, a chain restaurant serves a good burger.

Highway 55 used to be called Andy's are located in NC, serves a good burger.

Melvin's in Elizabethtown, NC serves up a Carolina Style Burger: slaw, chili, onions and mustard. But you can have it how you want it. Usually people are lined up out the back door to get a burger. {#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

Re: The Best Hamburger You Ever Had?

I like my own. Haven't had burgers in a restaurant in years. I use 93% lean ground beef and make thicker patties at about 4 to a pound. Down here we get what are called water rolls from Publix and use them for buns. In recent years I see restaurants serving what are called sliders. Guess I've been making them all along.

What was Mama Circles secret? Mine are always dry-ish.

Funky - my favorite place (Buds) was similar to the Train. Oh the grease... {#emotions_dlg.blushing} Buds had burgers (pickles & onions only), fries and sodas. You could tell an out of towner because they would ask for something different, additional. Cheese was an option until 20 years in.

couldn't tell you....its been so many many years....I was a teenager....I am 72 now....

all I know is it was huge...both in depth and width...she mixed stuff in it...rolled them by hand....and then grilled them.....so so good....juicy...never dry...and always grilled perfectly....

Miller's Bar in Dearborn, Michigan has the best burgers. Always a line to get a table or seat at the bar. Not frozen, fresh every day. Served on a piece of wax paper. Only burgers, fries, onion rings on the menu. Been here for years. Voted best burger locally.
