Best burgers in the area

+1 for Hamilton Tavern. My favorite by a huge margin. The beef comes from Roseda Farms in Monkton. Soooo good...

I grew up in Hamilton and never went in there. I will have to hit it when I'm back down there.

Wonderful. Also try Duda's Tavern Thames and Bond Streets in Fella Point.

sgt23preston, you are correct, sir, as usual. I've been there several times and have always been served an excellent meal. The price is more than reasonable which makes the meal taste even better. Perhaps after a day at the range we should hit "FireBirds" ?

Black hog...they have great fries as well.

Sounds Good Marko, we'll try to do it this Fall...

I lived in Hamilton from 1970 - 1996 & never went there either...

I'll have to check it out also...

The burgers trbon8r and I grilled up last night were pretty much better than anything I've ever gotten in a restaurant and for about 1/4 of the price.

+1 for grilling it yourself. A million different ways to make great burgers at home, but try this: 1 can of RO-TEL, and 1 can of fiesta corn, and add a raw egg & mix well with good fresh beef at room temp. Grill on high heat, should take only about 2 minutes pour on some ALLEGRO Marinade, let soak in for another 30 seconds or so, then flip and repeat on the other side. BAM!

I like a large slice of cheddar, some gently grilled onion, 1 large slice of tomato & dab of spicy relish and top it off.

Not mine, but close:

If you feel like going out and letting someone else do the flipping for you, try:

Woodmont Grill in Bethesda
Hempen Hill BBQ
Kooper's Tavern
The Abbey Burger Bistro
Alonso's Loco Hombre
or
Mother's Federal Hill Grille

Sunshine Grill Fork & Harford Road

I keep hearing good things about that place...

I pass by frequently & I'll make it a point to drive by when I'm hungry...

Hell yea.

Abby Burger in Federal Hill and Burger Brothers in Towson are both excellent. I love 5 Guys and their fries are the BEST

For those in Moco, Quarry House Tavern. If you can find it...the burgers and house made Chips RULE! Locals won't how you where it's hidden though - ya gotta earn that burger.

Family Meal Burger.

Agreed, had this yesterday, it was outstanding as well as the duck fries!!!!

 

[RugerFan]

+1 on Quarry House...great burgers, plus, IMO, the most authentic Buffalo wings in the area. But what do I know?

Oh, wait, I'm from BUFFALO...

Black hog...they have great fries as well.

That reminds me, Foster's Grille in Urbana has a great chargrilled burger - fries are good too.

For restaurants, Riverbay Roadhouse in Cape St. Claire has $5.00 burgers on Wednesday nights. Might not be the best burger ever (though they are very good), but it will be the best $5.00 burger you've ever had.

Gotta dispute this. The Brian Boru on Ritchie Highway has $5.00 burgers on Monday nights. I live in Atlantis, and I love Riverbay Roadhouse, but Brian Boru's burgers are better.

QUARRY HOUSE IN SILVER SPRING

OHH MANN I LOVE BURGERS! I honestly don't have a favorite. I'm always down for Abbey Burger in Fed Hill and Five Guys. I like going to Charm City Burger Wars at Mother's in Fed Hill to get a nice sampling of area burgers. They are holding the annual event on September 28th this year.

One of the best burgers around was the Hickory Burger at Houston's in Rockville, which closed years ago.

Not Your Average Joe's in the Kentlands had amazing burgers. Matchbox in Rockville is also decent.

Hard Times Cafe can be hit or miss, but they do have a discount on burgers on Monday. smashburger in Fairfax is also pretty good.

I'm a burger connoisseur, and I agree better burgers can be made at home. But there are some top-notch burgers available at restaurants. Sometimes you do have to pay more for a decent one.
