I have to add El Coyote in Anderson Twp. Generous size, slightly crunchy exterior, juice in the middle and not overcooked. American cheese and kaiser roll are top-notch.

I recently moved to DC. Frankly, I find this to be a really lackluster food town for a city of its size. That said, there are three things I've discovered are done really well in the DC metro area: Ethiopian, Peruvian chicken, and burger joints. You know Five Guys started here, but here are two others I've had good luck with:
Good Stuff Eatery
This place is located on Penn Ave right near the Capitol. The burgers are good but too small. However, they have perhaps the best milk shakes I've ever had, outstanding fries, and a gourmet mayo bar. It's more on the fast food side of burger making, so it's also a plus that you can get a beer with your burger at this place.
IMAGE REMOVED - BAD HOST BEHAVIOR
Ray's Hell Burger
This place is located out in Arlington, but worth the commute. The burgers are enormous, well-cooked, and interesting. Best burger I've had in DC so far. If you like spicy burgers, they do 'em right. The fries leave a lot to be desired, but other sides, like the Mac 'n' Cheese, are solid. Plus they put Cholula on the table! This place is more of a sit joint, so you can have a craft beer with your burger.

Ted's Hot Dogs chain in Buffalo, NY and In and Out Burgers in the west....ironically the owner of Ted's retired in Arizona and opened a location out there, if one was in Tempe they could have a choice between the two places.

As in, cooked at a high enough temperature to get a little bit of crispiness on the patty while not over-cooking the burger as a whole.

+1 on Ray's Hell Burger. Best I've ever had. I think I posted something about that place after I went to DC last spring.

Like the Secret Service guys & aides that have to sit there and watch the POTUS eat a big fucking burger at Ray's while they can't even sip a glass of water.
You think taking a bullet for someone is hard, try sitting for an hour while watching them eat delicious, greasy food!

Lancaster is getting a Five Guys, and they're building it on 33 adjacent to my property line, which pretty much means there is going to be a Five Guys in my backyard.

I've always preferred Five Guys to In-N-Out. I know that's sacrilege, and both are great, but I prefer the 'meatier' option, sesame seed bun, and variable options. Plus, the fries are better to me.
I've got a Michael Symon's B-Spot down the street from me; not a huge fan of that place, at all.
Now in Richfield, OH is a place called Whitey's Booze-N-Burgers.....best burger to me. They steam them (I think) and are only open for dinner so it's usually a packed house.

Charm City Burgers in Deerfield Beach, FL.
Right across the street from my home office. Excellent burgers and tater tots. They have a Kobe Beef burger that is amazing.

For foodies (read: food snobs like me) the lamb burger at Till Dynamic Fare in Victorian Village is amazing. One of my favorite gems in Columbus.

Yes, sacrilege.
Agreed - B-Spot is overrated. For gourmet burgers in NEO, Flip Side (Hudson, Chagrin Falls) is better, as is The Rail (Summit Mall in Akron).
They do steam the burgers, which I do not like. Not worth the wait (similar to Thurmans in Columbus).

I've heard some good things about Memphis Tavern in Cleveland but never made it out that way. Same with Foster's in Hinckley, whenever I'm out that direction I just keep going to Whitey's.
Also, anyone who says Swenson's is a fool.

This was a good thread to take in. I have read most of them. Sure does make you hungry for a great burger and fries.
I have eaten at 5 Guys & Fries a lot. On the west coast at In & out. No Red Robin here for me in J-ville. The Sonic,s
Cheesburgers are really good. Would love to have one at Thurmonds though.
Have any of you in this thread ever eat at "Whataburger" They have one, here in Jacksonville but maybe they are not
popular up north or in the Columbus area. Just checking......
