I actually like McD's nuggets but it has been a while/years mainly the sweet and sour sauce. It isn't my first choice for a burger though.

My favorite place to get a burger is a little place called The Chuckbox near the Arizona State University campus in Tempe.

Mmm... sweet and sour sauce.
That's a good name for a burger joint. Ours is named The Jug.
The Royal Burger from Red Robin is one of my Favorites
This burger is topped with
American cheese, lettuce, onion, bacon, a fried egg, and mayonnaise.
The fried egg is what really makes this burger special.
This burger is best grilled
There is also a Burger lounge here in town called
Bin4 Burger Lounge
the heritage burger is amazing one of the few burgers that does not need any Ketchup or mustard added for some flavor.
The Bacon Aioli mayo does that.
Certified BC Beef, bacon aioli, butter lettuce, tomato, red onion add: Hertel's bacon, 5 yr aged cheddar, or sauteed wild mushrooms

The perfect hamburger is the one you eat when you are absolutely stuffed from walking all day in the cold or flying all night in a shitbox plane or driving for hours and hours and hours and finally getting where you are going and OMG a hamburger place is open and you buy one and it is the most delicious hamburger you ever ate.
I never met a cheeseburger I didn't like. I don't even know what all this grass-fed bison chuck technobabble means. I just say, "Gimme a cheeseburger." Well, I also say, "Please."
That said, of the major fast-food chains, Wendy's is the best. But the Applebee's Cowboy Burger is really dynamite. I have to do jaw-stretching exercises before taking a bite.

Ground beef, 85/15 or 90/10. Mix in a little bit of black pepper and a pinch of salt, add in some minced garlic, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Form into patties. Grill to about medium-well (just a little pink, not bloody). Add a slice of pepper jack cheese shortly before taking the burger off, giving the cheese time to start melting. Place it on a bun that's been lightly buttered and then toasted, then slathered with some homemade chipotle aioli. Top the burger with fresh lettuce leaves and freshly sliced tomato. Voila.
I like my burgers spicy.

Best sauce in the world. It's great with their fries as well. Big Macs and (Double) Quarter Pounder w/ Cheese are both pretty tasty IMO. Mighty Wings were magic though. Poor misunderstood delicious Mighty Wings
. I have to believe we'll meet again though, life can't be so cruel.5 Guys is really good. But, I'd say best fast food burger for me is a 3x2 w/ onions from In-N-Out.
I absolutely hate the burgers from BK and McD's. The only things from those places that I do like, are the breakfast sandwiches. Which are, I admit, quite good. But not the burgers, hell no.
As for other places: Runza and Wendy's also have fairly decent burgers. But my favorites are the ones I mentioned upthread.

Any hamburger will do, since I haven't been able to get a real one (not pre-made from a convenience store) for the last 8 years unless I add in the cost of public transit to go somewhere. If there was a burger joint within walking distance for me, I'd be there every day.
Now that I think about it, Chili's used to have a great chili burger. Big, so big you couldn't pick it up all at once. It came cut in two, and was so messy a knife and fork was almost mandatory equipment.
Fries or onion rings?
Most of the time I like fries, sweet potato if I can get them. That's good eatin' right there.

I rarely eat out; there are a couple of local burger places that are pretty good, but home-cooked is where it's at. I grind chuck and eyeball the fat content; no way to know a percentage, but it works for us. Quarter-pound patties with salt, pepper and a dash of Worcestershire, medium-rare over charcoal. Buttered and toasted sesame bun (fresh baked is best, if we have the time). Red onion, Claussen pickles, lettuce, mustard and a little ketchup, no tomato unless I just picked it myself.
We usually have oven fries but a few times a year we'll deep fry a batch, hard to beat but dealing with the frying oil is a pain.

^ ... And there it is, a brand new low.
It's actually a 42-year old memory, so hardly new. This thread only now brought it to the surface.
Now I'm Italian and I am contractually obligated to turn my nose up at hamburgers, but well... I like hamburgers.
Thank the gods, we don't have all that many fast food chains, I think I ever only saw McD and BK, and they are mostly populated by teenagers, and of course they will eat anything.
But there is an Irish pub in the University area of my city that makes fantastic hamburgers: big juicy burgers with fresh ingredients. They offer many variations, but I feel less is more: ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and a bit of ketchup.
Of course, nothing beat an Italian bread roll with prosciutto crudo, fontina, lettuce, and mushrooms. But for some barbaric dining, a hamburger is acceptable.

I used to love White Castle. They had good onion chips, and the hamburgers were awesome. They just don't taste the same to me anymore, though. I'm not sure if they changed the formula, or I just grew out of enjoying them.
