Never really talked about by burger seekers, but there's a small place in lower Pac Heights, SF, that serves up the best burgers I've ever had: Curbside Cafe on California St (by Mollie Stone's). You would never know it from the look of the place or the menu, but the burgers are incredible.

The grilled cheesus is pretty amazing in PDX 
"The Original Cheesus
The Now-Famous Burger Behemoth. We've done away with the bun and replaced it with two grilled cheese sandwiches. That's right, two of them. One on top, another on the bottom. Pickles and American Cheese in one, Grilled Onions and Colby Jack in the other. Lettuce, Tomato, Ketchup, Mustard and 1/3lb Burger in between. You won't need to eat again for 2 days. Comes with potato chips and napkins."

Hands down Chuckbox in Tempe, AZ

Flame-broiled. Delicious. Maybe my flight home from ATL will divert quickly so I can grab one

I like the breakfast burger at the NYC Hilton Fashion District Hotel in their RARE restaurant. It is a burger wrapped in an omelet with a nice berry fruit side. It is about $12 but best of all it is available for free to staying Hilton Gold/Platinum members as a free breakfast benefit (along with other breakfast options). I ordered mine rare (trusting it was a proper high-end burger and steak joint) and I wasn't disappointed, great burger.

A little off topic, but have you had their desserts? I spend my birthday there last year. We had champagne and dessert there several nights. That Chocolate Bomb was amazing.

The unofficial spokesman for the infamous Las Vegas restaurant Heart Attack Grill has, you guessed it, died of a heart attack.
9000 calories. Good to the last bite.

Slightly off topic, but just how big a burger (patty only) is "just right?" 1/3 lb? 1/2? 2x1/3 patties? more?
Assume whatever ratio of meat::accompaniments seems reasonable.
For me, 1/3-1/2 lb is just about right. I can get a good char without overcooking the middle and it leaves enough room on the bun for a large grilled portobello mushroom, peppers, etc., etc., etc.
