When you want to get a greasy burger round about where you are, where do you go?

[TheMightyFavog]

Mickey-Lu Bar-B-Q in Marinette, WI.



Walking in to the place is like walking through a time warp to the 1960s. Complete with the countertop jukebox consoles. Only negatives are 1. They don't sell fries (Chips only) and their milkshakes are kind of meh.

1. in the town to the east the best place is the sale barn

but it's only open on Thursday
in the town to the west there is a Mexican restaurant that makes just about the best regular hamburgers in town, although the pizza place does a pretty good job too - and their fries are really good

but for the very best greasy burger I just go get one out of the freezer and cook it myself

[Orrex]

2. The best local place to go for a super-greasy burger was recently gutted by a fire.

Fire marshals suspect that the fire may have resulted from $750,000 in accumulated debt, but the investigation is ongoing.

[Beer Snob-50]

3. really good greasy burger then the white hut

in west springfield, ma. fried onions and cheese. have been in business for years burgers, fries, and hotdogs. nothing else on the menu.

[Mopar151]

34. The White Hut rules!

Dammdest thing you ever seen - nothing written down, customers 4 deep along the counter, about 6 people workin behind a 5-stool counter, every square inch of the grill is goi'n, food flyin' outa the place - and the food is very good - the french fries are sublime!

[Beer Snob-50]

38. i usually ONLY get 3 cheeseburgs with onions

no fries, no soda. love the place

[pokerfan]

4. about once every other month

[old mark]

5. There is a place over the mountain that makes great burgers - no frozen meat,

hand-made patties, hand cut fries with the skins on them, and great obscure brand root beer.
It's one of those old stainless steel places and they have lots of hot rod pictures all over - they have car club meets there, and flea markets on the grass outside on Saturdays in the summer.

I'm not telling you where it is.

8. tell me where it is n/t

[old mark]

24. It's over the mountain from us, on Carsonia Avenue, near the

lake.

See?
You were the only one who asked.

6. P.O.'s Burgers and Beer - practically right around the corner

Beer = Shiner Bock :9

[azmouse]

7. Gallagher's Sports Bar

:9

[cherokeeprogressive]

9. There's a place here in Big Bear Lake called Get the Burger. Better than In & Out. n/t

[REP]

10. Here: Clark's. Back home: Winstead's, even though they suck now

[distantearlywarning]

11. I'm fond of Five Guys Burgers

I hate their fries, though.

[bigwillq]

22. Had the Five Guys for the first time ever tonight

Loved it. Burger was great, so were the fries.

[cbdo2007]

31. Five Guys is a little pricey for our area in the Midwest....

I went there the other day and got the double burger thing with cheese, and "regular" fries and no drink and it was $8.13!! Here in Kansas City you can get a good burger anywhere (without a drink) for like $5.00 so this is a little insane. Loved the burger and their fries but there's no way I can stop there regularly for lunch for $8.13 each time. $5.00 - definitely.

One problem is too many fries...I literally threw away half my fries. Like they fill up your fries and then they even put an extra scoop of fries in the bag, but good grief why so many fries? Charge a buck less and only give me half the freakin fries. I can't imagine what the "Large" size looks like.

It actually is a better deal if I go with my wife cause then we can split the fries, but it's not really a "stop in" type of place. I can go to Chipotle and get a giant burrito for like $6.15 and that should be more in line with what Five Guys charges, at least in our area.

[Initech]

12. Personally I'd go with Farmer Boys - all locally owned

And use local employees. Plus their burger is one of the best I've ever had:

[JTG of the PRB]

13. My favorite local place is Thunderbird Burgers & BBQ

Sometimes, nothing but a delicious double with fries and a soda will do... :9

[Shell Beau]

14. Gino's in the MS delta. Their #4 with cheese will knock your socks off.

And it is old timey like your place. It has 50's pics on the wall and a jukebox with the music to match. It has been around forever and it is the best.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

15. POBBQ, The Arcade, or Shell's if I am on the other side of town.

[kayakjohnny]

16. Not greasy but really good. Not where I am, but where I'd love to be....

Sorry for the big pic.

Love this place. Always the same. Always a line.

The ultimate gut-bomb.

[struggle4progress]

17. The Chargrill in Raleigh. You can see the greasy smoke plume from blocks ago

Basic burger fries and shake joint. They're open all year, but there's no indoors for customers, though you're always welcome to sit at the picnic tables in the parking lot, no matter how rotten the weather is. You scribble your order on a ticket and drop it in the slot; eventually they call your number and you exchange hard-earned cash for grilled greasy goodness at the window. I think they've been there since before Columbus, and no matter when I've gone I've had to wait in line

[Roon]

18. Bud's grill in Sedalia,Co

We stop in there on our way to the cabin. Awesome burgers... and the menu says NO DAMN FRIES!

[yellowdogintexas]

19. Charlie's on Old Granbury Road, best burger ever

close second: Kincaid's

[WorseBeforeBetter]

20. Cook Out, but they're not really greasy.

Cheeseburger, Cajun fries, hushpuppies, and Diet Coke for about $6.00.

[blue_roses_lib]

21. Arctic Roadrunner - Big pic warning!

Best burgers ever; no frills, cash only. Last time, I got fancy and had a Halibut Burger and onion pieces. I usually get a bacon chesseburger and coleslaw. Haven't been in winter, but in summer, you can eat outside on the shores of Campbell Creek. Very zen-like.

[blue_roses_lib]

32. And the Burgers....

Mmmmm...:9

[abq e streeter]

23. The Owl Cafe in San Antonio, New Mexico, just south of Socorro

Not much of a burger eater anymore, but whenever I pass through San Antonio, on the way to Ruidoso, I make an exception. As good a green chile cheeseburger as there is anywhere in the known universe.

[MajorChode]

25. My kitchen

I rarely have burgers, but when I do I generally make them myself. I grind a chuck roast and season the patties heavily, use locally grown tomatoes and Vidalia onions when I can get them, and good quality swiss cheese. I grill the patties over lump charcoal.

[Godhumor]

26. Grover's In Buffalo, NY

Incredible 3/4 lbs. burgers that are all under $8. I generally go with the Cattleman, which is a 12 oz. patty with cheddar cheese, bacon and BBQ sauce.

It is the only place I eat out where I will actually not consume another meal in the day due to the size of the burger.

[sammytko]

27. TJ's Burgers in San Antonio

they are awesome. On the south side on New Laredo Hiway.

[lazarus]

28. Crazee Burger in San Diego

in North Park, specifically. They've got the best burgers I've ever had. The Brie Burger is awesome, but the Venison Burger is to die for. From the menu:

#32 VENISON Burger with Poached Red Wine Pears, Mushrooms,
Bacon, Cream and Plum Jelly 9.95

They have kangaroo, turkey, crab, antelope, anything you could want. They use Angus beef for most of the burgers.

http://crazeeburger.com/menu.htm

The blackened cajun burger is great, too.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

29. Chain: Five Guys. Non-Chain: Lindburger's.

Actually, Lindburgers is technically a chain as they have several locations in Palm Beach County, Florida, but it's local enough that I can call it a mom-and-pop place. But they have damn good burgers, and over 50 varieties of them.

Five Guy's Burgers are terrific as fast food burgers go. Their fries are a bit meh and they actually give you too many of them.

[hobbit709]

30. Chief's BBQ and Grill on S. 1st and Dittmar in Austin.

[Sky Masterson]

33. I walk over to Bob Berdella's old haunt

The Westport Flea Market

They make an awesome burger!
And I can walk there in under 3 minutes
Also I know where they park the burger mobile! (Does anybody feel like road trip?):dunce:

[aquattro_660]

35. mickey d's

haha

[Mopar151]

36. Arnie's Ice Cream in Concord, NH

Char-grilled burger, good fixin's, awesome icecream.

The Beefside, about a mile away. Great burgers, their own BBQ sauce.

[kas125]

37. We have a great one here and evidently, people who have

moved from the region have opened one in Las Vegas and one in Florida - Schoops! http://www.schoophamburgers.com/

[whistler162]

39. I get Mongo at Po's

40. Bella's Esspresso House

In my hometown. I don't eat meat, but my family says they have the best burgers. I like their shakes.

[Rhythm]

41. The ones where i work are amazing...

Little pub downtown, called Gibbie's... Almost everything is made from scratch (i think only the mayo and ketchup are not), which is why i love working there.
As far as the burgers themselves -- the meat is fresh pattied, and grilled to order, and then topped with darn-near anything you can think of.
Choice of several different kinds of fresh-cut fries (curlies, steak fries, or 'crab fries', which are steaks coated with Old Bay and seasoned salt), homemade potato chips or homemade tortilla chips!

Heck, i even invented a burger the other day for a customer... Encrusted the meat with jalepeno peppers and cumin, then covered it with jack cheese and a bit of pico. It was for the owner's best friend, and the boss came back and gave me a pat on the back for innovation.

[MorningGlow]

42. Don & Bob's

Never mind that it's now called Don's Original--it'll ALWAYS be known as Don & Bob's. Oh--and the only valid location (out of three) is at Sea Breeze, on the point between Lake Ontario and the Irondequoit Bay, near Sea Breeze amusement park, one of the oldest in the country (100+ year old wooden rollercoaster and all).

Special touch--the flypaper strips hanging from the ceiling, complete with plenty of dead flies.

Also never mind Vic & Irv's a couple of doors down. TOO greasy. Stuff'll kill ya. :P
