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

I noticed the sign on Route 9 south tonight.
5 Guys Burgers are coming to Sayerville NJ. After reading this thread, I'm kinda looking foward towards it.
