This is a local establishment, but anyone who comes to SC is more than welcome to join me anytime! Rockaway Burger..Maybe some of the SC guys can weigh some thought!

It's SO obvious that none of you have been to Big Burger in Concord, CA.

Perfect

Helvetia Tavern out in Hillsboro, Oregon. Great burgers, greater scenery (middle of farm country in the rollin' hills).

My dad STILL rants about Clarke's, and he hasn't had a burger there in probably 45 years.

My favorite burger joint is the cast iron pan in my oven.

80/20, salt, pepper, and a 1 ounce medallion of gorgonzola embedded in the middle.

I've never been impressed by Bartley's. I've eaten there a few times and I think it's fairly over rated and survives mostly on it's fame and reputation.

For my dollar I would rather grab a burger at R.F. O'Sullivan's (http://www.rf-osullivan.com/). The menu's not as extensive as Bartley's but the burgers are much more tastey.

I also really enjoy Eagle's Deli (http://www.eaglesdeli.com/). I ate the "Godzilla" burger once many years ago and my picture may still be on the wall there. Also, it was named "2nd best place in the world to pig out." Breakfast there is really great as well and my friend has a sandwich there named after him called the Messy Marvin.

Also, whenever I'm in Vegas I like to drop by Postrio for a burger (http://www.wolfgangpuck.com/restaura...trio/lasvegas/). The first couple of times I had it it was AMAZING. It had fresh mozzarella on it, carmelized onions, and a balsamic glaze. It didn't even need ketchup. They've changed it since but it's still pretty good.

Also, Abe & Louie's (http://www.abeandlouies.com/) has a great burger and also a great Tuna burger made from ground up Tuna steak.

I'm ashamed to mention I like Red Robin burgers... I got on a Red Robin kick because it's totally kid-friendly and I take my boy. After a few meals there I'm converted.

RR is my favorite national chain

the Royal Red Robin and the Carnitas burgers are my favorites

Some great calls in here.

Barneys and In & Out are my go to places, though I've been laying off the burgers lately.

The best burger I've ever had was from Izzy's Steak and Chophouse in SF. I don't know why I was ordering the burger at an awesome steak place. It just sounded good at the time. It was really fricking good and I'd order it again. Tasted like it was made from ground filet mignon.

I'll need to try out Big Burger in Concord.

I think that the best burger in my area is from a Bar called Dillinger's. The Scarface is the best. Burger, mozz sticks, onion rings and BBQ sauce on a roasted bun.

Great Steakhouses often make great burgers. Peter Luger's has a burger to die for!
