Big thick juicy patty, the Veggies were crisp and the shakes come with a shot of your favorite adult liquor. A very good burger and I highly recommend this place.

Seen that place a bunch, near maggianos. Never tried it though. Good work.

I was a fan of BLT Burger at the Mirage last time in Vegas. A little overpriced perhaps, but what else do you expect in Vegas?

Heard BLT has a really good burger but Stripburger was closer that is why we ended up there. Will give BLT a try next time I'm in Sin City.

In Dallas, try the "Nosh Burger" at Nosh on Oaklawn next to La Duni. I nearly cried it was so good.

well, i'm proud to say that Lakewood's 1st & 10 has been nominated for D Magazine's Best of Big D in the Best Burger Category. you can vote once a day. I'm counting on all my fellow ponyfans to help us stuff the ballot box. you don't have to vote in any other categories if you don't want to. we're the first category. no annoying site registration or email sign up either. just a few clicks is all it takes.

If there is anyone in Dallas who has not yet been to Liberty Burger (northeast corner of Forest and Inwood) ... oh my god. The food there is unbelievable. I went at lunch today, and it was incredible. Everything from the bun to the toppings was great (the bacon was cut really thick), but the patty itself was out of this world. You know that smell when your neighbor is having a BBQ and the meat on the grill smells so good you start salivating? That's what the burger at Liberty Burger tasted like.

I'm going back - soon.

Plano 110 today.

Took forever.

Burger tasted a little different. It was good, but just tasted a little different.

Hadn't seen the bartender before. I think his name was Jeremy. Curly-headed dude. Really nice guy.

What in the world has happened to Jake's Uptown? The scenery has taken a massive nosedive over the past few months.

This past weekend I actually was delivered one of my beers and my food by a male. That might be the final straw.

The new one on Henderson has been good in the scenery department but it is off the list on the weekends when they require valet.

Went there. Was packed by 11:15. Made sense after getting my burger. Pretty good

When the bun is the best part of the burger, that's not a good thing.

But that's exactly what I found when I stopped at BJ's Brewhouse in Addison for lunch Friday. They offer the option of a whole grain bun, which I took, and it was tasty. The burger itself, however, was thin, (too) greasy and undercooked, and completely void of flavor.

I'm not one to send food back, but when the bacon on the bacon cheeseburger was so undercooked it was possible to see through it, that was a major red flag, and I did send it back. When it came back, it still was under-cooked, but not as much, so I risked it. Still alive, but I won't do their burger again.

The beer was very tasty, thankfully.

At the recommendation of someone on here, I went to lunch today at Naan Sushi in Uptown to try their burger.

The burger was phenomenal. It comes on a fairly thick bun with lettuce, tomato, cheese and bacon.

That alone would be good. But on top of all of that, there is one onion ring with some kind of braised brisket or something contained within the center of the ring. The burger is terrific and the stuff inside that onion ring is terrific, but put them together, and it's shockingly good. The accompanying fries were way too salty, but the burger was fantastic.

And it was only $4. I will be going back.

I bought a Groupon for Naan for that specific reason. Looking forward to using it.
