Best burger?

In all honesty.....mine.

Blue Door here in MN has some fantastic Juicy Lucy's.

I'm partial to any burger that has a fried egg on top.

I'm not even hearing Five Guys, Smashburger, Fatburger, etc. That's a balogna response! The only chain I'll accept is In-n-Out, and even those barely compare to local burgers with real personality.

Bad Boy Burgers in Boise, ID - Bacon Cheeseburger!

Barrelhouse in Boise, ID - Idaho Cowboy Burger!

Giant Drive-In in Lake Oswego, OR - Giant w/ Cheese!

Stanich's in Portland, OR - ANYTHING!

Rick's Drive-In in Whittier, CA - Double cheeseburger!

Look, I know they aren't creative (no pineapple or sauer kraut or pastrami), but they are seasoned right, they're big and they are juicy. BAM!

The Ram Brewery. Let's count it as both because there are a couple locations in Oregon but I don't think they're anywhere else.

We have 'em in ID.

ETA: The ram in Lake O. was the bomb. The one out here... not so much. I also never realized how much I truly do not like their beer until I moved out here.

When we were down in the Keys, last year, we tried Shula's. Hands down, one of the BEST burgers I've ever had. Followed by Frisch's and Five Guys in a tie for close second.

Here in NS.

Ace Burger makes the best.

Probably the best chain burger in my opinion is Steak & Shake. They're pretty greasy but the flavor is excellent in my opinion. I usually go with a plain double steakburger or maybe add lettuce, onion and/or mustard. Yum.

Locally I like burgers from a place called Mojo and a little bar & grill my friends and I like. The bar & grill has hefty prices but they do their burgers up really nice with loads of cheese options, avocado, and other good stuff. Now I'm in the mood for one!

Probably the best chain burger in my opinion is Steak & Shake.

I just saw this in "Eat this not that" and it was recommended, the cals are not astronomical like some. We have a couple of these but not conveniently located for me.

There's a local place called Stagg's Grocery here in Florence that makes an amazing cheeseburger... This place is an old school grocer store that's been open for over 50 years. It may just be a plain jane run of the mill burger (meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo/ketchup), but if a place can pull THAT type of burger off and make it unforgettable, then you have a winner. Nothing fancy on this burger, but it's #1 of my top 3 I've ever had.

#2 is homemade by my brother. 80/20 beef, stuffed with a small square of cheddar (think juicy lucy) or with some crumbles of bleu cheese, grilled then topped witha little bit of garlic/herb butter... Then put on a ciabatta bun with some Irish mustard, a little mayo, bacon, and red onion.

#3 is a chain... Five Guys Burgers. Bacon Cheeseburger with grilled onions, jalapenos (grilled too), pickles, mayo and mustard.
