The official CA Burger thread

VirtualSmitty · 10-14-2008, 10:40 PM

The title says it all. Post your favorite burger joints! Here's some of my favorites:

Five Guys Burgers and Fries
Fatburger
In-N-Out Burger
Burkey's Grill in South Carolina
Steak n Shake
Houlihans makes a pretty good burger
Whitecastle

There's more, but I need to hit the sack.

Man when I first read the title, I thought it was CA - California and I wouldn't get to play, then it dawned on me..

5-guys - burger of choice - bacon, fresh cut jalapenos, grilled onions, A-1 steak sauce. Need I say more?

Stake and Shake is a close second, then Wendy's.

But then are times when I gotta have a Big-Mac or some Krystals. now I'm hungry.

SvilleKid · 10-14-2008, 11:55 PM

Hands down, it's a little local joint with three locations in Bham only. Called Hamburger Heaven. Worth trying if you get down this way.

BengalMan · 10-15-2008, 07:19 AM

5 Guys is definitely one of the best burger joints around. Here is my go to:

Bacon, jalapenos, grilled onions, lettuce, cheese, bbq sauce.

Very similar to JKim's but with BBQ instead of A-1.

I forgot about Krystals! Just like WhiteCastle, just without the unhappy ending. One of these days i'm gonna insist raisin make burgers, will probably be the best in Jersey lol.

What about Fuddruckers, that place is awesome!

Steve · 10-15-2008, 03:29 PM

Herbie's (on Marathon Key)
Sixpence Pub (Blowing Rock, N.C.)
Harpoon Louie's (local sports bar here in town)

AAlmeter · 10-15-2008, 03:50 PM

Sterling Place Tavern in Buffalo, NY. The best burger on earth. Come to Buffalo and if you can say otherwise, I'll buy your burger and beers.

Its a dive, but great food and very good beers.

md4958 · 10-15-2008, 04:55 PM

For a fast food style burger nobody around beats the WhiteHut in West Springfield, MA Make sure you order with fried onions (carmalized)

For a more "gourmet" burger the Blue Cheese burger from Plan B in Glastonbury, CT is the best ive had...

1 inch thick, carmalized onions, bluecheese and burbon sauce...

This place is good too. A little overpriced, but good...

I forgot The Boss in Oroville!

10-24-2008, 03:54 PM

In-N-Out does it for me.

2 Cheeseburgers animal style with a chocolate milkshake.

macpappy · 10-21-2008, 08:41 AM

There are also quite a few Po-Boy sandwich shops in the New Orleans area that make Hamburger Po-Boys. Imagine a 12 inch french bread loaf, three 1/3 lb. patties, dressed with lettuce, tomato, mayo, cheese. Served with a hot order of fresh (not frozen) french fried potatoes.

Smokin Gator · 10-21-2008, 08:53 AM

No particular order here... and yes my mouth is watering..

My top 5:
In-N-Out - 2 x 2 animal style
Fuddruckers
Island Burger from the Tastee Freeze in Island KY
Cheeseburger from T-Ray's Burger Station in Fernandina Beach FL
Cheeseburger with avacado and jalapenos from Cruiser in Jacksonville Beach FL
