Wow, you really tested my memory there Don. I had to resort to Google maps. And I couldn't believe it. It's still there. It's on University Drive a couple blocks East of Mill Ave.
I'm sure a lot's changed. But back in the 60's and 70's Arizona was a popular destination for Midwesterners like me.
I had an Econ professor who actually lived there in the 40's and he remembered when Scottsdale Road and University Drive were dirt roads and a 4-way stop.
Good times.
I'm going to do the google map thing and see if I can recall that place. Also would love to see if the pitcher house is still there.
Herbie’s in Athens was always worth the trip.
I like your thinking @greshamdisco.
If we're going to pay tribute to Athens on this thread, I have to mention Allen's. It was just a hole in the wall, and Prince Avenue was the other side of the moon to some students. But it was something once upon a time, and the only two reasons to go there were the burgers (which were lousy, in a great way) and Normaltown Flyers (who were great, in a lousy way).
Man, I miss Athens.
Have thought about trying the broiled flounder, but cant get past ordering the deviled crab each time. In combo or by itself. Skipper's pretty good. Havent been to Mudcat Charlie's in a long time
Sorry off topic.
I like grind house. Good variety and flavor.
Is the Chatt you speak of Chattanooga?
I've been to Rhinehart's before...is their burger good?
@kasey stole my thunder on Rhineharts so I’ll add a couple chains because they’re still the BOMB. Burger Fi and Five Guys.
We used to go to Allen's after every home game...cold pitchers of beer and cheap cheeseburgers!
Man, I miss Athens too...
If we're talking chains, and because I'm from Texas, Whataburger takes the prize. Fresh made to order, and available with a number of tasty toppings.
We also have a chain around Austin , Hopdoddy, which is pretty good.
Finally, Keller's in Dallas is a drive in institution serving cold beer and burgers they'll bring to your car. I spent many a Friday night after football enjoying their food and liberal "no carding" policy! 😀
I had forgotten about Grind house so I looked at their menu. I tried to talk a couple of my co-workers in going there for lunch today. I wanted either a Booty Shake or Stimulus Package.
it's all I ever get there
Y'all ever heard of Gary's Hamburgers in Augusta
Forgot about Mister Dips in Williamsburg. They serve out of an old airstream on top of a hotel. Great views of Manhattan in the summer. Shakes, fries, and cones are top notch also
That looks good @Kasey. Double stack, melted cheese, little bit of blood, and no funny business.
Yes sir
Jacks #2 is a little hole in the wall on North Jefferson St in Dublin. Tiny little burgers though not as tiny as Krystals. Most either love 'em or hate 'em. Back in the 70's, my uncle would drop my cousins and me off at Jacks and we thought the burgers were the best thing ever made. Carried my wife there after we married and she hated it. She has never given it another chance. I pop in every now and then and grab a couple.
Dont know the Augusta area well. But welcome aboard
Hands down, it's "The Backyard Burger" from Jerry J's.(Waycross GA)
When I lived in Jax I would always go to Five Guys and get their double burger all-the-way. Good but pricey.
Vortex is good, but they allow smoking which ruins a good meal. I still love The Grill. Something about being in Athens means the food is better, the tea is sweater, the girls are prettier, and life is just better. #takemehome
