Best Burgers in Town!

There aren’t many ways that you can mess with a burger. It’s a classic! I can honestly say that I have not had a really bad (bad as in bad) burger in a very long time. Well, unless you count a paper thin variety of what used to be a burger at one fast food chain…but I digress.

My motto is, the messier, the better! If the ketchup is perfectly aligned with the mustard, and the pickle is directly in the center of the cheese, then that’s not what I need. Fortunately for me, there are plenty of restaurants out there that get these combos right, and I’m not talking about the golden arches! Here are a few of the best burgers in town:

Alex’s Tavern: This. Is. One. Great. Burger! The “Alex burger”, or the “Greek burger” officially, is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had the pleasure of biting into. It’s slightly crunchy on the outside, suprememly juicy on the inside, and topped with only the freshest, locally grown ingredients. What’s the key ingredient? The fact that the burger is hand formed, and splashed with Alex’s special Greek seasoning.

Uncle Lou’s: Though they’re infamous for their fried chicken, Uncle Lou’s can make a mean burger! The jumbo burger (which is coincidentally the smallest burger on the menu), is pretty much huge. And you can’t forget the sauce! The “Sauce of Love” gives the burger just enough kick to put it at the top of my list!

What list would be complete without Huey’s? They’re celebrating their 40^th anniversary this weekend. There’s a reason for that, don’t you think?

I know I left TONS of places off of my list, but hey, there are only so many hours in a day. Do you have any to add to the list?
