So who has the best hamburger?

[doemasters]

Everyone around my area tells me it is Green Valley Drugs in Hoover which they do make an awesome milkshake but I would not have them at the top of my list for a good burger

 

[PhillyGirl]

In-n-Out, hands down. I just love the secret menu and the animal fries and the shakes. Though Five Guys is a close second. There's also a place near my school here called Z-Burger with like 200 milkshakes and really good burgers too.

I'd love to be able to get a Milo's cheeseburger more frequently (w/o having to move back to Alabama)

Backyard Burgers in Pelham is mighty good. I don't get that way much anymore, but Hamburger Heaven in Irondale is terrific.

I went to Green Valley Drugs a couple of weeks ago and I gotta say, I don't know if I just came at the wrong time or something but it just wasn't that special to me. Now if you wanna seriously talk best hamburger, then Stagg's in Florence has got to be top 5. Best hamburger I've ever put in my mouth by far. Not as good as before the fire, but still top of the line.

Also there's a new hamburger place in Birmingham right off of 280 called "Mooyah" that's pretty freaking good. It's pretty much just like Five Guys right down to the cup/bag full of fries but I like Mooyah a little better. Also, since coming to Birmingham I have indeed fallen in love with Milo's. That sauce is fantastic.

Mooyah is out here in North Dallas, take the family and drop $40 on burgers, fries. (Kills me)

Thanks Philly, I went to In-n-Out today for lunch because of you

I was bummed when we went down to Orange Beach and found out the Milo's in Foley is no more...major bummed!

They have them out your way? So jealous. I miss them soooooo much. I wish they'd come east!

 

[planomateo]

Yup, they got one in Frisco, TX (about a mile from the office).

Probably 5-6 in the Dallas area now, opened up a few years ago - had to wait in like about 30-40 minutes to order the first few months, not kidding you - line of 60-100 people for a few weeks during lunch.

In-n-Out is effing amazing

Bridgeport Texas, go to this burger joint called "Rock City".....You will die just eating it....

Aiight, will try - just about 1.5 hours west of me.

In-N-Out is awesome. Any joint with a secret menu has to be cool, but their burgers are top shelf for fast food.

Foley folks, and south Alabama folks in general, didn't understand Milo's. it's a different breed down there... Milo's also failed in auburn if that tells you anything.

 

[doemasters]

I think I need to try In-N-Outs, where did you have this Porter?

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Several places... Arizona, California, and Vegas.

 

[PhillyGirl]

The vast majority of them are in California, it's where it originated. It's like the state food of CA, everyone I have ever met from there raves about it- and for good reason! They are slowly coming eastward, but not past Texas as of right now. It's an old chain, since the 1940s-1950s I believe.

As for the secret menu, it's so much fun! And the animal sauce .. NOMS.

Was named the best burgers in the county. It sponsors a lot mountain riding, mainly jeeps and rock crawlers.

Prepare your wallet though, it can be a bit pricey

 

[MunchyOs]

Have to go with Backyard Burgers. That bacon cheddar burger they have is awesome.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

We get our Milo's fix (both the burgers and fries) when we get to Bama. It's a game day ritual when I take my youngest. Sometimes we'll hit the Moody store on the way over and hustle to the Eastwood Mall location for a nightcap.

Lloyd's on Highway 280 is known for their hamburger steak, onion rings and bbq, but their cheeseburgers are very good.

In terms of Generica, I enjoy Five Guys, but you're right it's tough to drop $40 for a family meal in a burger place.

In Atlanta, the best burger isn't really a burger patty, but it's at Fox Brothers BBQ in Decatur. It's southern BBQ with Texas roots, so they have good brisket. Their burger is chopped brisket with bacon, tomato, home made pimento cheese and jalapeno mayo. I'm not kidding, it's awesome.
