Am I the only one that thinks this place is way over rated?

It's a burger.





If you want to impress me with a burger do something unique with it.

It doesn't take much for me to enjoy a burger. I don't need it to be unique, I just like meat.



I ate there at Flip Burger in Atlanta this summer and it was good. I definitely enjoyed it, but I don't need sh*t like baby kale, apple chutney, pimento cheese, capers, shallots, jam, etc. on my burgers. I like to taste my meat. Throw a little seasoning on it, the right cheese to match and sometimes light condiments (ketch/must) with a good complimentary bun.



Just give me a good bison burger or some elk and I'll be happy. Extra grease is not necessary, as I've sometimes seen from 5guys.

^ At that rate I'd do Fuddruckers over 5 guys any day.

Their boar burger was pretty damn good. I want to try the Elk again, mine was way over cooked and slathered in nasty American cheese I never asked for.

Granted, I generally like a burger to be meat topped with things. If I want MEAT for the sake of MEAT I hit up Ted's. Their Bison Ribeye is

I agree, I'd take Fuddruckers over 5guys, but they took Fuddruckers away from us nearly a decade ago. I did find one in PA a few months ago and DID have some Elk

I like Ted's as well.

While I love my meat, I'm very fond of sausage. It makes my mouth water.
