| I also love Krayzee Burger (spell?) In Bethesda. |
| Wow, this explains the incredible proliferation of Five Guys. I had it once and did NOT like it, and I am far from a health food nut. Way too greasy, I don't get it. |
|
I wouldn't cross the street for In & Out.
They're a victim of high expectations set by people with no taste. |
+1 better than 5 guys, and the sides are fantastic! |
+1 the 3-6-9's are great. |
| Burger Tap & Shake in Foggy Bottom (http://www.burgertapshake.com/burgertap.html). Yum! |

CA native here. I have always sung the praises of in-and-out, my husband has always been a 5 guys fan. Last time we were in San Diego, I actually wasn't impressed with in-and-out. Not sure if they've gone downhill or my tastes have evolved. Or maybe the problem was that it was like 11 pm. I wouldn't go so far to say that 5 guys is superior but lately I haven't found in-and-out to be all that it's cracked up to be.
A few weeks ago I went to Rays the Third - they are serving the old Rays Hell Burger menu. I am actually not one to fawn over a burger but whoa boy it was delicious. |

I'm suprised no one has mentioned Jonny Rockets.
They are like a more restaurant version of In-n-Out (which IS the best burger in the world). They do relish and you can put ketchup and mayo and grilled onions on it to make it "animal style." |
I do love Red Robin! |
| if you want a big juicy gourmet burger, try Timothy Dean Burger, but you have to venture to PG County to get it... he was a former top chef contestant. the burgers are huge and really good and not expensive. |
I believe the correct response is YUMMMM! |
|
Another vote for Kraze burger!
For a little more upscale, the burger at Central is fantastic! |
| Melt way out in Leesburg was pretty good too. Didn't know Central had burgers. |
| Agree with PP that Central's burger is amazing. Not cheap but totally worth it. Fries are delicious too. |
