One great burger place I liked and still do is Chesters Hamburgers in and around the San Antonio, Tx area.
Nuthing fancy but just great tasting burgers. Sadly the bun company that provided Chesters with its poppy seed buns stopped making them. But you get fresh NOT frozen 1/4 grade A beef, daily cut Idhao popatoes and long with daily cut veggies. Dont forget onion rings!
They have a couple of specialties like: grillies,hickory sauce, green chillis, malts/shakes, hot wings and hot dogs that are more dog than bread. LOL. On top of that the beer selection is the best for a family enviroment. From American Ale to European Stout or is a Asia Beer your calling. Sure there is one you will like.
So if your in the San Antonio area or planning to visit, check this play out! They have 4 locations at: 1006 NE Loop 410 - 9980 W. IH-10 - 16609 San Pedro Ave. This last location is in Universal City on the ne part of San Antonio metro area - 621 Pat Booker Rd.

I never tried it, but had several people recommend Chris Madrids in S.A. and that was fantastic. Be prepared for a lot of people to post about chains, lol.
There isn't anything called "grade A" beef. There are so many factors that make a good burger.
1. The cut of beef
2. Percentage of fat
3. If it was pressed to cook faster
4. When it was ground
5. If cooked on a griddle or an open flame
6. If it was frozen
In Pittsburgh, PA - Tessaro's in Bloomfield. No fries - only chips - but the burgers are so good it doesn't matter. This is one of the only places I'm confident about ordering my burger cooked Medium rare.
The Gourmet Burger Kitchen is pretty good here in the UK: Gourmet Burger Kitchen - Home
And a place called Grill on the Alley does a Kobe burger which is pretty good but honestly, for £18 (about $29 USD), I was expecting it to be the best burger I've ever had and it wasn't: The Grill on the Alley - Blackhouse Grills - Restaurant and Bar in Manchester (http://www.blackhouse.uk.com/restaurants/restaurants-manchester - broken link)
Anyplace that offers Aberdeen Angus beef and doesn't overcook the burger is alright by me though. And keep it simple: just cheese and mayo.
I looove The Burger Joint in Washington D.C. I believe it is located in Dupont Circle, right across from the famous Kramers Bookstore.
They were on the FoodNetwork's show Throwdown with Bobby Flay for their lamb burger and won! Haven't tried it because I can't get enough of their classic burger.
Louisville, KY - the best burger is at The Shady Lane Cafe. Every element of their burger is really delicious. In Virginia the best hamburger I have ever had (anywhere) was at the Smithfield Inn in Smithfiled, VA.
1200RT - I completely agree - I think Five Guys is sooo overrated! There are much better burgers out there.
I definitely don't think that Angus beef is the best tasting beef that I have - Angus beef is commercial beef (personally I can't stand the way it smells when it is cooking). We have lots of cattle in Ky and we had never had beef from a Belted Galloway (often called the Oreo Cow) until we moved here two years ago. We were blown away by the beefy wonderful taste.
