Best Hometown Hamburger
#1
Posted 07 July 2009 - 12:36 PM
In my hometown of Holly Springs (about 40 miles outside of Memphis) we have Phillips Grocery... a small, very old joint next to the old, abandoned railroad station. The burgers are very fresh & greasy, made in front of your eyes. If you are in a hurry, don't bother stopping here... McDonalds is on the other side of town. My preference is the double, loaded with everything, including ham. First place I have ever seen ham go on a burger. Here is a review written by a patron.
Located in a two-story wood-frame house built as a saloon in 1882, Phillips became a grocery store in 1919, and has built a reputation on hamburgers since the 1940s. Some customers buy them to go, but there are comfy seats here, too: a short counter with stools, a handful of old wooden school desks, and a few odd tables (including one really odd one made from the cross section of a huge tree trunk); outside on the front porch, a couple of picnic tables provide a view of the railroad depot.
The menu is written on a blackboard that lists side dishes including fresh-from-the-freezer Tater Tots and morsels of deep fried, bright green okra enveloped in a golden crust. Corn nuggets are something special -- bite-size fritters with lots of kernels packed inside a sweet hushpuppy-like jacket. You can get spicy or regular French fries. And if a Moon Pie off the grocery shelf isn’t your dish for dessert, Phillips also offers fried pies for a dollar apiece. A fried pie is a folded over half-circle of dough fried until reddish brown and chewy, enclosing a heavy dollop of sugary peach or apple filling.
Hamburgers are presented wrapped in yellow wax paper inside a bag for easy toting; and when you peel back the wrapping, particularly on a half-pound Super-Deluxe, you behold a vision of beauty-in-a-bun. It is a thick patty with a wickedly good crunch to its nearly blackened skin. Inside, the meat is smooth-textured and moist enough to ooze juice when you gently squeeze the soft bun wrapped around it. The flavor is fresh, beefy, and sumptuous: an American classic.

A close second is a relatively new chain - Five Guys started in DC and are now spreading out in the NE and Mid-Atlantic. I'm about 5 miles away from one and my mouth is watering.
As for frozen - Bubba Burgers are pretty darned good.

I have family in Chandler and had the privelege of visiting the Heart Attack Grill during a visit last summer.
Had a 'quadruple bypass burger', and about pushed myself to the human limit of hamburger consumption.
the food and service are nothing like you've seen;)

Everyone knows In-n-Out makes some of the best burgers, but it is all about their fries!
I have to say that Fatburger one-ups In-n-Out, though.
Up in the bay area we had Nations. Now those are some monsters.
I still think no one can beat HAG. BTW- HAG coming to Orlando in July. That means it should be the meeting spot for some of us come ASI Show next year!

The Ultimate chili combo is worth it.
Best yet, their original location near Dowtown LA, serves out of a shack that is no bigger than a bedroom..
Double cheeseburger loaded with chili, diced onions, chili fries, cant be beat...

I wanted to include Tommy's, but thought better of it!
As the only time we ate there, was after a Dodgers game late at night with several beers to our belt! :D

Bravo to the bypass burger in Arizona. It looks great.
Here in South Florida the most famous Great Burger joint is on the East Coast in Hollywood, FL. Le Tub is the spot. Located on the inter-coastal the burger is big, juicy, slow cooked, and delicious.
