This WIAW I have dedicated to my 2 favorite burgers I’ve had in the past week. Yes you heard right 2 burgers 1 week. I love them! Oh, and I had ice cream for dessert after too, so there(tongue sticking out)!
There’s something so American and comforting about enjoying a cheeseburger with friends either in someone’s backyard or in your favorite greasy spoon.
I like the plain ole condiments like mayo, mustard, and ketchup, but I love to get chili, slaw, or something non traditional too. When I do get something nontraditional I want to eat it in an unpretentious setting. I don’t want to eat in a “burger boutique”(unless I”m not paying, then it’s fine;). I want my server to have a tattoo or piercing and not be annoyed they’re working because they love burgers too.
Dixie style from Grindhouse ATL
I prefer to have my burger meat grinded on the spot with local beef or turkey and if I’m getting a veggie patty I don’t want it to be frozen from a box I could have got myself. I want it made in-house.
As for my side if they have sweet potato fries I’ll go straight for those. Usually places don’t, so I get tots then fries if there isn’t any other choice that doesn’t cost $3 extra. Never a side salad. If I eat a burger with you and you order a side salad I will get up and leave you with the bill. That’s just crazy!
My dad makes the best burger in the WORLD in my opinion. They are “Ted burgers” and I wish you could have one. They are made with love and a pat of butter in between two all beef patties. MMMMMM…. But since I’m in ATL I will settle on what we have here which isn’t all that bad;)
Cheeseburger from Vortex Little 5 ATL
My favorite place to get a burger in ATL is Grindhouse Killer Burgers. The Sweet Auburn location is my favorite because it’s a diner counter in a farmer’s market, but the Piedmont location has the “Dixie Style” which has pimento cheese. It’s very tense for me when deciding where to go. haha
Where/How do you like your burgers?

Balck bean veggie style, with sauteed onions, swiss cheese, and barbeque sauce
YUM I love sauteed onions on all sandwiches!
Ha. I get a burger with a side salad all the time! My favorite is the veggie burger from the Vortex.
hahaha NOOOOO! haha
I heard they are selling the Auburn location… not sure when. I may have seen it in Creative Loafing…
Have you tried Bocado or Holeman & Finch? Mid-blowing burgers. I kid you not.
I just read that too, bummer. I’ve heard mixed reviews about Holeman & Finch, but need to try them myself.
I love cheeseburgers. One of the few things I can eat over and over and over again.
I actually like to get my cheeseburgers kind of AS a salad… I.e. Lettuce wrapped instead of sandwiched between boring white bread.
I mean if the bread is something special then okay… But just regular bread? Pointless. I wanna taste the ketchup, juicy burger and gooey cheese.
Also? It is ALL about the garlic fries. Although recently I had some sweet potato fried with a basil aioli that was just… Absolutely killer…
Garlic fries are awesome!
I am pretty boring. I love just bun, patty and ketchup to which my husband thinks is nasty! ha!
that cheeseburger is speaking to me through the computer screen aaand I’m suddenly starving.
As of yesterday since it was my first time to go there, I am a big fan of Yeah Burger. I got a turkey burger there and it was delicious!
