Five Guys is hands-down my favorite.

Second choice is Fuddruckers.

In-n-Out burger...man I miss those!

Jack in the Box for their breakfast sandwiches and side orders, not the burgers

Fatburger

That's the only place we ever got them. Of course, this was back in the olden days.

I had a Culver's burger at random when driving across the country last fall and it was really good. Fries were great as well.

In and Out is just fine, but I probably prefer Five Guys instead. Five Guys though seems to be on a rampage setting up new franchises everywhere, so I hope they don't lose the quality they have right now. We'll see.

Whataburger I remember eating when living in Texas and Oklahoma 20 years ago but haven't had one for probably 10 years now.

My wife absolutely hates 5 guys and we actually got in a fight over it today, because of this thread. I commented that someone liked Johnny Rockets, and she replied, "I can't believe people like Five Guys," knowing full well I love them. lol She hates the fact that their buns are either cold or room temp, they don't toast them, and that they don't put the cheese on the burger while it's still on the grill, they put it on after wards, so it doesn't really melt; valid criticisms, I suppose.

Very valid. Untoasted buns and unmelted cheese annoy me as well. High 5 to your wife.

Red Robin...

Never understood five guys. Other than the non-melted cheee and untoasted bun, nothing wrong with them, just never found anything special and I can't justify their prices. For the same price I can go to TGIF/Chiles/Outback, sit at the bar and get better tasting burger (IMO) and a better atmosphere...
