When I was a lad it was Chuckwagon or Frost Top or Dog and Suds or Krystal (Dixie White Castle )

Five Guys all over Nashville overrated

From my time in Los Angeles id say Fat Burger

best burger ever:

Branch's grocery in Sidon Mississippi.....in the Delta...chubby old black women.. in red aprons..handpatted....skillet cooked....dressed. with pickles..dill of course..sweet are for dogs....then raw white onion ...mustard..mayo...tomato..no..ketchup..salt...pepper...buttered and grilled...Sunbeam bread bun..dripping and wrapped in brown butcher paper

Best burger in my life ever...perfect after duck hunting and a fatty...sweet tea of course

I never heard of either of the 2 this thread is about.
Back in the day, Brown’s on Canal St downtown Yazoo City had burgers along the lines of the ones you describe in Sidon. A LARGE and a small. The large lived up to it’s name not like the pictures Burger King and McDonalds have on the wall.

Here in east TN/southwest VA, we have Pal's. They have a pretty good burger, fries are ok, but their dog's are awful.

I’ve been to 5 guys...as you said, it’s very over rated. I had heard their fries are the best, but I didn’t like them.

Growing up, it was Brookshire’s in Meridian. Still the best burger I’ve ever put in my mouth! Then, Lonnie and Pat’s (RIP because of the recession and they couldn’t find good people to work for them) and now New’s burgers. So, if you’re ever in Meridian, go to New’s.

Out here, I am so thankful that we are now seeing Sonics! I love those burgers...much better than 5 guys. Plus, they have sweet tea...a never found beverage out here.
