The 30 Best Burgers You Can Find In America

Fred’s Meat & Bread – Atlanta, Georgia

The name is kind of an understatement – Fred’s Meat & Bread offers way more than just…well, “meat and bread.” This small eatery in Krog Street Market, Atlanta claims to make sandwiches, but in reality, they are mostly burgers.

The joint offers a diverse range of burgers, inspired by food from around the world, starting from Spain to Vietnam. You can choose to go for a Korean cheesesteak or an Italian grinder, or even stick with your classic Bacon Cheeseburger. Whatever you choose, Fred will not disappoint.

Triple XXX – West Lafayette, Indiana

Triple XXX might call itself a family restaurant, but it’s much more than that – it is what makes Purdue students feel at home. The menu does its best to reflect this as well, by naming dishes after Purdue athletes – so, you can grab yourself The Bernie Flowers All-Pro or enjoy The Ashley Burkhardt.

The first drive-in restaurant in Indiana, this is a popular choice for families too – thanks to their hand-cut sirloin beef patties and amazing onion rings.

Nation Kitchen & Bar – Cincinnati, Ohio

Nation probably wins the award for the “Most Humorous Establishment Name” – deriving its name from the temperance movement advocate Carrie Nation, who opposed the prevalence of intoxicating beverages, even before the Prohibition. Despite the irony, Nation offers truly some of the best drinks and burgers in America.

Pool Burger — Austin, Texas

There are plenty of awesome spots to have burgers in Austin, Texas, and Pool Burger is right at the top of the list. It seems to have a tiki bar thing going on inside the 1968 Airstream trailer that this burger joint is located in. Austin people flock from all over to try out their eight different burgers.

It was inconsistent.  Sometimes dragging one onto the page worked and sometimes it didn't.

And instead of making fun of him, I'm making a request and modeled it for him.

Kind of a big difference, no?

Pool Burger is quite good, but it's not even the best burger in Austin.  I'd put it at 5 or 6 probably.

I have not tried the place in ATL.  It's probably good enough I'd guess.  It's really not that hard to make a good burger obviously.

We like Grindhouse Killer Burgers, and Farm Burger is pretty good too.  Both are quite a bit better than Shake Shack IMHO (which is a block away from us).

Farm Burger used to have "burger and a beer" for $10, it's now $11.  Not bad, these days.

I saw some ranking of "iconic" college football venues.  I didn't click on it, I'm not sure what they even mean by iconic, whatever.

relating to or of the nature of an icon; regarded as a representative symbol or as worthy of veneration.

The Rose Bowl and the Cotton Bowl are iconic college football venues.

Beyond those, I suppose it's a list of university-owned stadiums that meet some combination of criteria related to the age of the venue, as well as the general success of the program that plays there.

I expect the usual suspects would make up that list, just look at the Top 10 all time winning programs for example.

Yup, I'd put the Rose and Cotton as high on any "iconic" list, and then I'd probably look at old stadia.  Grant Field here is old, ancient in fact, and broken down and hardly what I'd call iconic.  The B1G has a lot of them I'd consider iconic I think, and ND, and probably Texas.  Sanford Stadium dates from 1929, it probably makes the second ten.

West Point is iconic I think.  There might be some lesser known program with an iconic stadium I can't think of.  Eastern Michigan?

Camp Randall. 1917. Pretty old "new" stadium. Still doing "upgrades" and reducing capacity.

Nippert Stadium in Cincy dates back a long way, a century or more depending on where you start it.  I don't think of it as iconic other than old.

It's a weird metric to me.
