Go to the Country House in Clarenden Hills IL ( 55th St. west of IL 83 ) and order a Country Burger; I get mine med. rare on the dark bread. Now THAT'S a candidate for best burger!

I recently had this burger at Ribeye's Steakhouse in Beaufort, NC. Served on Texas toast and cooked perfectly medium it was wonderful.

Agreed! There are tons of "best burger", "voted best hot dog", banners posted outside of restaurants. I often laugh and say "Who said that, the guy's mother?!?"

I felt that Le Tub was a decent burger, but not "best ever" overwhelming.... yes, very good meat....
what, no pickles?!?

Just for clarification purposes....Le Tub was not "voted" the best anything, to my knowledge. It was one article in GQ, written by one writer, Alan Richman, who claims to have sampled all of 162 burgers to compile HIS Top 20. The article can be found here: http://men.style.com/gq/features/full?id=content_2526 It is the subject of another thread on the topic, where some people have strong feelings on either side of the Tub. People have bashed his list, but I can say that I have eaten at four of the places listed and have not been disappointed in any of the choices.

Not trying to provoke an argument, but voting, to me, indicates something of a democratic process where many people choose a winner. Perhaps Le Tub has won something like that, but I am only aware of this article's designation of "best burger," and it is one man's opinion.

Voted Best Burger in America in 2006 was Le Tub in Hollywood Beach, FL.
I thought it may be a typo but then I went and had one last weeekend and sure enough, I understand why...
It's HUGE, fresh, not frozen, and cooked perfectly.

Le Tub Restaurant, A1A, Hollywood FL

I'm assuming that "My Porch" is a restaurant. In what city is it located?

Nope, I find that homemade burgers with meat that you grind yourself are vastly superior. I never order a burger when I eat out, it is something that I can always do better myself.

I was being sarcastic by my response

One of my pet peeves is when someone asks on a forum where they can find the best burger, steak, breakfast in a given city and someone responds "my house"....sorry, that just really irks me.

My internet sarcasm meter is broken. I was not trying to be a smartass with my response either.

I agree that my fresh-ground, homemade burger is vastly superior to most anything I can get at a restaurant, but I still can't resist ordering one out when I'm at a joint that is reputed to offering a great one. Usually I'm disappointed, but on occasion, like at Moe's Downtown Tavern 5 Cumberland St, Charleston, SC, they deliver the goods. pb

I’ll agree with you regarding Big Star… My father lives in Rowlett and my wife and I popped in there after visiting him. Burger was mighty fine and I thought the onion rings were excellent

RE: Best Burger in US (mland520)

There is a rather new place in the Dallas Metroplex area- Big Star- located in Rowlett, right on the square. Really good, juicy burger and the sides are good too. They even offer a basket half fries, half onion rings....for those who can't make up their minds!

According to all the ads. the best burger in Nashville is at Hardee's. Fortunately, you can find it at several locations!

Hardees is now owned by CKE (Carl Karcher enterprises)
(that's Carl (RIP) of Carl's Jr. burger fame)

IMO, they are certainly not the best; and far from it..
however, they have tons of advertising money, so they can afford to go around telling everybody they're the best..

Some years ago there was a Hardee's a block or so away from the Brickyard. It's now an Auto Parts store.

Can't wait to try Puckett's. Fat Mo's, a local chain in Nashville, does a fantastic burger. And yes, Five Guys Burgers and Fries is a chain, but their burgers are fine.

Sandy's By The Beach, in Redford Michigan (near Dearborn and Detroit) serves a fantastic burger with great fries for 4.99!!! (5.99 for 1/2 pounder. Great staff and generous pours too!

Lion's Tap is in Eden Prairie, MN. I have to respectfully disagree -- I wouldn't even put it in the top five in Minnesota much less call it the "Best in the US".

RE: Best Burger in US (mncorn)

Lions Tap, Shakopee, Minnesota. I live about 15 minutes away, ate many of them in 25 years.

I haven't eaten at the Love Shack yet but, this restaurant is very highly regarded. I'm actually planning on including the Love Shack on my restaurant itinerary for my next foray into Ft. Worth.
