the counter has some of the best burgers, but they are also pricey. i think fat burger closed shop so i don't think they are around anymore.

Astro Burger.

ALL of their food is so damn good.

Actually for some reason the taste of a Big Mac has like it's own uniqueness that can't be mimicked anywhere else...sorta weird but I actually like the Big Mac over alot of these other burgers even if they taste better, something about the Big mac...

1) Never heard of Juicy Burger
2) In & Out is NOWHERE NEAR as good as CA residents think. The french fries they serve with their burgers are garbage.

Gotta go to Hodad's here in San Diego... Ocean Beach. Voted best burger for quite a few years.

fathers office is amazing and I always go when im back in LA. when im out for a beer and burger, no better place. apple pan is amazing too.

but in n out is still the best in my book. so classic.

the west coast owns with the best burger joints. in n out, fat burger, tommys, 'nuff said

BSM 135i · 12-03-2009, 02:53 AM

damnnnn!! i wish i would have visited a lot of these places you guys are naming in L.A., i have been to The Habit though in sherman oaks

. A&W's are kinda rare here in cen. cal so i try to hit one up if i see it, in-n-out is always a good choice, tommy's is BOMB when you're drunk and a western substituted with chicken and a honey wheat bun from carls jr. is the business!! but if i'm really craving a burger i form my own patties and make something i like to call "The Salsa Guacamole Avacado Grilled Onion Bacon Pepperjack Cheese Chipotle Mayo Twenty Dollar Burger"

The name of the place is In N Out Burger, not In N Out French Fry. I agree that the fries are the weak link of In N Out, but the awesomeness of the burgers more than makes up for that.

Other favorites of mine:

Red Robin
The Counter

this thread makes me hungry...

In n Out ftw...

also have you guys tried, 5 guys burgers and fries... located in carson. I tried them a while back. They were pretty pricey. But they were GOOOD

CalOski · 12-03-2009, 09:04 PM

For people that don't like In N Out fries, order 'em "well done" and you'll probably get a fry in the style you're more familiar with. For heart attack central, I like a 3x3 or 4x4 (no lettuce or tomato, extra pickles, onions and spread) with well done, animal style fries.

Also, Father's Office is great. Hot/flirty bartenders, Chimay on tap and a sold, albeit non-traditional burger.

For a "higher end" burger, try Burger Bar in Las Vegas. They have a great Kobe Burger with shaved truffles and stuffed with foie gras. Runs about $70-75. Goes great with a 1980's Chateau Margeux Margeux or Chateau Montelena Pinot. Total bill, with the wine, will run you about $400 (didn't say it was cheap).
