Just got back from Miami where I ate at the Beer & Burger Joint. There's three in the area though I was at the location on Bay Blvd. in Miami Beach. Excellent little spot with good service and a ton of burgers you can choose from, or the option to build your own. I made one with Waygu Beef on Ciabatta topped with goat cheese and cucumbers. Fries are great too and you can get them done in truffle oil or duck fat. Plus the beer selection, both on tap and in bottles, is excellent.

I vote for the Village Burger at Parker Ranch Center in Waimea, Big Island, HI.
I had the Kahua Ranch Wagyu Beef Burger. The beef is grown in the hills above the village, processed locally, and ground every day.
The burger reminded me of how burgers tasted when I was young (in the 1960's).

Good, but I would rank Raoul's Bar-only Burger and Benoit (NY not Paris) burger as better.
Raoul's comes with the au poivre sauce that their fantastic steak-au-poivre (and bar steak) comes with and
Benoit's comes with a decadent Bernaise sauce.

Always got told by friends that MAX Burger (Swedish chain) got good burgers, but never got to try it while in Sweden/Scandinavia.
On a recent trip to Abu Dhabi stumbled upon one of their outlets (didn't know they existed outside of Scandinavia), was hungry, and gave it a try. 14 Dirham (2.80€) for the "Frisco meal" (http://www.maxarabia.com/en/UAE/Food...s/Frisco-Meal/) - it was meant as one of their smaller burgers meal, and it tasted really good.
French fries as sides also tasted really good - freshly fried for sure.
It wasn't the best Burger I've ever had, but damn tasty for a chain one - and at only 60% of the costs you would pay at McDonalds for a similar meal (McTasty comes relatively close) definitely a great deal. So yes, for chain burgers, MAX got me sucked in now

Next time ya'll are in Austin, you'll have to drive out to Alamo Springs (not far from Luckenbach). Texas Monthly had a photo of their burger on the cover in their best burgers in Texas edition.

Everybody has their personal favorites. For a chain, Kraze Burger (a South Korean company) has some pretty good burgers. When I was stationed for a year in Bosnia in the 1990s, I really had dreams about Krystal burgers. First thing I did when I got to the States was to run to a Krystal near Fort Benning! I felt I was welcomed home!

The Globe Hong Kong in Sheung Wan.
It's not the best but it is one that I keep looking back on. The organic beef burger might be hands down, the best in Hong Kong. It's a burger I kept wanting more of and was sad when I was down to the last bite.

Best burger I ever ate as well. $2 for a .5l local beer helps too.

The Nook in St. Paul, MN has the best burger I've ever eaten, hands down. My wife prefers the Blue Door Pub, also in St. Paul.
Honorable mention to the Corner Bistro in NYC. It's pretty plain, but was a darn good burger.

The "colossal burger" (pastrami burger) I had today at Galaxy Hamburgers in Cerritos, CA is the best burger I've had since the last one I had there around 10 years ago. Everything on their menu is good, most of it excellent. There are many similar excellent burger joints in the greater LA area, but Galaxy is the benchmark.
