No, but I am pissed that Tin Star is gone.

Check www.yelp.com and see if anyone has posted there.

I have been to Mooyah several times. I reviewed it in this thread, in fact. It is pretty good. Clearly built on the In-N-Out Burger chain philosophy. Limited menu: Just burgers, shakes and fries; nothing frozen; hand cut fries. You do have more burger options than In-N-Out Burger. The meat is ok; the bun is excellent. Fries above-average. Quality grilled cheese sandwich for the kids.

Thanks Blog. Sorry I missed the earlier review. I'm lazy for the rest of 2007.

Ok I didnt feel like reading through 60 pages of thread to see if it was ok to offer my opinion so I apologize if anyone mentioned these places. But in my opinion these are some of the best:

-Chips
-Who's Who
-Jake's
-The Loon

And for as many times as I've been to good ole Milo'sive never had a burger, need to try one next time!

In Dallas, try St. Pete's Dancing Marlin...SMU heritage too. Of all time, Kobe Burger at the Grand Hyatt, Grand Central Station, New York, NY.

Bring your wallett - Burger & a coke = $33+. Order it from room service if you want to spend $40.

I remember it as above average, but my judgment could have been clouded by my outrage at the price. (I was still in school and dirt-broke at the time)

Anyone ever try the mini-burgers that are served as an appetizer at the Old Monk? Had those the other night before I got drunk (and again well after I was drunk), and they were FANTASTIC. Both times.

I'll second that. But in all fairness, i don't put sliders in the same category as burgers. sliders can be great, but the fact is that they're just a "small plate" fad.

Made my maiden voyage to the "new" version of Goff's. I know, it's been there for a while now, but .... disappointing, really. Flavor was OK, but not great, and the burger was too greasy and too small (I know, I'm a pig). Anyone else have this experience? Or did I just get ripped off?

Goffs is only worth it on half-price tuesday.

Clearly!
That's the other thing that surprised me - a burger and onion rings were $9!
Paying for the address more than the food, or so it seemed to me.

Best burger, hands down, was in New Orleans at a place called Port of Call.

Second best burger on the road was at the East Carolina game at a place called Cubbies. It was located downtown, right off the main campus.

Locally, it's hard to be the burgers at the Agry Dog in Deep Ellum.
