Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers in Dayton, the original one, not the new places. Max and Erma’s makes the best non-burger joint hamburger I think. Out here in CA…I’m still looking, In and Out is good, but not quite heaven. If anyone can suggest a place out here in Milpitas/San Jose I’m a listening. * * * \>\>Being Chaotic Evil means never having to say your sorry…unless the other guy is bigger than you.\<\< —The dragon observes ---

The Owl Bar & Cafe in Socorro, NM. They fed great green chile cheeseburgers to the folks testing the first nuclear bomb at Trinity, and, at least last time I was there, they continue to serve burgers that are comparable to none. Rilchiam - I was once trapped at the Shamrock Inn in Shamrock, TX, when the car broke down there while struggling across the country. Three days in the tiny, DRY town of Shamrock. Three loooooonnnngg days. * * * But I don’t want to pay the penalty. I just want to go home. ---

All this food talk puts me in mind of that little place in Amarillo that advertises a 78 ounce T-bone steak. Free to anyone who can eat it all in one setting. * * * Yours truly, aha ---

Harlo Grill in Melrose Park, Illinois. The Double Cheese with grilled onions, a side of hash browns and a bowl of suicide (chili) will be my last meal if I’m ever put on death row. ---

And the campus it was located on was even more lovely. I guess you will next tell me that something really ugly happened to the property. Too bad about The Corral, too. They really did have wonderful burgers and onion rings. * * * Crystalguy ---

> [@](#): > > Originally posted by Bluepony: > **There was a Bob’s Big Boy (is that right?) just outside of March AFB in Riverside, CA. I still remember the taste of the chili cheeseburger to this day. Did they get rid of the Big Boys?** There’s one in Burbank and one in Glendale. I think there are others, but I don’t know where. ## Cygnus: So I guess you didn’t eat at the Shamrock Inn, or you’d think of your stay in Shamrock as woefully short ;). “His eyes are as green as a fresh-pickled toad, His hair is as dark as a blackboard, I wish he was mine, he’s really divine, The hero who conquered the Dark Lord.” ---

Rosco’s Burger Inn on Fort Blvd. in El Paso. Now on their third generation of Rosco (Roger, Jr.). To order “no onions” just means they won’t put onions on top of the finished product. They _still_ mush up some finely chopped onions into the patty before slapping it onto the grill. Grease…Grease…GREASE! And the secret sauce is lard. ---

Ellet (rhymes with smell it) Snappy Hamburger in Akron. The place is long gone now. It was literally a hole in the wall with the grill in the front window and one long counter with 20 stools. The grill had a raised edge all around so the burgers swam in a quarter inch of grease while they cooked. Served on a small pan roll also floated in the grease with mustard, onion, and dill pickle slice. Eating five or six of those little bombs after the Saturday matinee next door was heaven. White Castle is a distant second. Fuddruckers is pricey but still good. * * * “Everybody smokes in hell” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wheres-the-best-hamburger-you-have-ever-eaten/15276.md?page=3)
