Picking the best burger joint is all relative to what you think is tasty. Some like thick meat patties and some like thin. Some like Cheddar Cheese and some like American Cheese. Some like Mustard and some like Mayo. We can go on and on.... My personal favorite in recent memory has to be Li'l Woody's in Seattle. In-N-Out is consistently good. Hole in the Wall in Los Angeles is awesome along with Umami Burger. Chester's in San Antonio has this Green Chili Cheeseburger which is pretty darn good. I havent been back to H-town in a minute but I would say Bellaire Broiler Burger was good, Lankford Grocery was decent, Beck's Prime was overrated.
Yes, that's the one. There's also one in Santa Monica. I love Umami burger too. They have one in Burbank that also does Umami hotdogs. I tried their corn dog and it was great. I haven't been to Juicy Burger, but I'll have to check it out.
Went to Steak & Shake yesterday for the first time. Not too bad. Probably a 6.5 out of 10. Would return. Prices are ridiculously low.
There's a bunch here in SoCal. Pretty pricey, but best burger I've tasted. Every site has their own specialty burger. Here's of the website: http://www.umami.com/umami-burger/
Revived again? My list/mentions remain the same but add the burger from the Heights General Store. The meat has that legitimate homemade polish.
I usually hit up Cliffs or Southwells. I just tried Someburger on 11th St. yesterday and wasnt too impressed.
Brums is decent - I prefer Steak N Shake and Freddys over Braums. Although Braums is better than Wendys/McDonalds/BK etc. I think In and Out is overrated
funny story: My friend took me to the astros game a few weeks ago and we wanted to get something to eat, well my friend thought that there was an in-N-out burger in Houston so he puts "in-N-out" into google maps on his phone and we find a place... only problem is that it lead us to the middle of the some Mexcian ghetto and it turns out that the "in-n-out" was not an In-n-out burger at all, it was a gay bar!
Bernie's Burger Bus is opening a new restaurant in Bellaire soon. Damn good burgers! http://www.berniesburgerbus.com/
Went to an Umami near LA and sat next to the blonde girl from that movie where the surfer gets her arm eaten by a shark, or something like that. I wanted to make a move... but I did not. ::EDIT:: Googled it Was AnnaSophia Robb in Soul Surfer.
