It is.

back in the late 80's I lived about a 1/2 mile from the very first one. It was literally a burger stand, a counter with no tables - you grabbed your sack of grub and off you went... in a crappy run down strip mall on the corner of Glebe rd. and Columbia Pike in South Arlington, Va. I always remembered the chalkboard that informed you of where the potatoes came from that particular day...

I'm not surprised how well it has been received, but never in a million years expected that I'd be living 900 miles away and have one a quarter mile from my house.

They are exceptional, and I've been to just about every single fast food type burger joint in the nation including all that have been mentioned - though Hodad's is mighty close.

There is one a few blocks from where I live and I guess it is nice to know that if I am ever in the mood for overpriced, over-hyped, fast food that tastes average at best....I have a place to go.

You wont pay $5 for a really good hamburger but you'll think nothing of laying out $450 for a win bet?

Overpriced, I dont think so.

Best fries out there and there burgers are really good, not the best, but for the money a great eat.

Strange but my top 5 burger places are all privately owned sans the winner. Obviously biased towards the Chicago area.

5) Grandpa's Glenview, IL (the old home field)

4) Meyers Pub, Wilmette, IL (must get the tator tots and Dab beer w/burger)

3) Hackney's, Glenview, IL (go to the original on Harms and order the Hackneyburger on dark rye and onion rings)

2) Moody's Pub, Chicago, IL (a hidden gem in an old Moody Bible Church with a huge fire place in the winter and one of Chi-town's best beer gardens in the summer)

1) Treasure Island, Las Vegas (get the one named after the LA Laker guard. LOL)

Best burger I have ever had was at burger joint in Kauai, Hawaii, named Bubbas Burgers. Its a very well known place on a few of the different islands and was where Colbie Callait filmed one of her music videos not too long ago.
Awesome food, I think they even have chicken sandwiches too, but best known for their burgers.

Emeril's Burger is pretty good. Outback has a great burger also.

Best burger I've ever had was from Le Tub in Hollywood Beach, FL

Everything tastes better in Kauai.
