Best burgers in the area

[tsmith's wife]

You're not recommending Dunc's Bar and Grill on main St in Frostburg? (I'm kidding of course)

OMG! I loved Dunc's! The chili was awesome on those cold Frostburg days.

Another vote for Abbey Burger in Federal Hill. Fried egg on an elk burger

Wags in Downtown Frederick has some of the best burgers IMO

For chain restaurants, Red Robin has a decent selection.

But for my all time favorite grab and go burger, head to a Sonic! It's not just the burger, it's the fun of eating at an old style drive in. Ranks up there with 5 Guys for me.

And if you ever make it down south, you MUST have Whataburger. This isn't an option, it is a requirement.

Never understood the following for Whataburger, I would take Roys or BK over that one any day of the week. I do agree with Red Robin having awesome burgers!

Bobby Flay's @ MD Live, 5 Guys, Abbey Burger Bistro OC. All are D-licious

For a more convenient burger: Burger King, if you can get a whopper freshly made they are pretty damn good. Also McD's new 1/4 lb Deluxe is pretty tasty.

This! I live two minutes from that place and eat there occasionally.

I too am about 2 to 4 minutes away from it just across to hoco line. That place is a dirty nasty $hithole but the food is always good. It is always busy.

It's been said twice in this thread already, but I think The Burger Joint is really the best burger I've ever had. Seriously, this is the only burger I've ever had that I think ketchup would ruin. Keep it simple, the meat is what's excellent here, not the fixins. They even have a couple decent beers on tap. It's next to the Rio in Gaithersburg.

Best burger I ever had was one of the Green Chile Cheesebugers at the famous Owl Bar & Cafe just south of Socorro, in San Antonio, New Mexico. They are famous well beyond the New Mexico state line in other parts of the US. I liked them so much I returned to MD with a supply of Santa Fe Roasted Green Chiles so I could make my own.

Sunshine burger in Sunshine, MD. It's the gas station on the corner. Go to the back of the store. They have a grill that has somehow been missed by the health inspector for over 40 years. It is well seasoned. Don't dress up. It's a local secret.

This!!! Great burger

 

[JBinDC]

Wait, that place in Sunshine still there!? I used to get both bait fish and a burger at that joint before fishing at Tridelphia eons ago. Happened to drive by a couple months ago and thought it was shuttered, no? Funny thing was, I was remarking that the health inspectors musta finally found that place! If its still open, its a gem fo sho!

McGoos in downtown Frederick has a badass double burger. I thought Wags was pretty good until I went over to McGoos.

 

[FireAtWill]

In order:

Green Chile Cheeseburger - Blake's Lotaburger; Albuquerque, NM
Steak & Shake - Florida
Burgers and Buns in Paradise - Frederick (just east of the Fairgrounds)

Evolution brewery in Salisbury has some killer burgers...

Ditto for burger joint in Columbia

10 patty vertigo burger with bacon at elevation burger. First time i went because of a google offer for a buy one get one free elevation burger (2 patties each). I expected to eat one and save the second for dinner later but before I knew it I was back in line to order 2 more. Just wish they had the option to add a fried egg.

+1 for sonic (i know fast food)

Chili at Mothers in Arnold is great! They also have a great burger selection!

The fires at Checkers are my absolute favorite!

McGoos is owned by Jennifer Dougherty the former mayor of Frederick. Won't spend a dime there after the damage she did.

I can't believe how bad the burger I had from The Burger Joint in Bethesda was.
I've only been to the one in Columbia and its always been very good but Bethesda was horrible.
