I've never had it. Pretty much always get the shrimp po boy. Have heard others say it's great, but I'm not ordering a burger at a seafood place.
that's fair. Although I usually don't order seafood if I don't see the ocean
That's a reasonable policy in a good part of the country, although Inland Seafood does a nice job supplying the Southeast with fresh seafood with overnight trucking operations. You can find fresh, quality fish, shrimp, and oysters all over Atlanta, Birmingham, Charlotte, and many smaller cities.
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.
So, no seafood for you in 99% of the world’s cities. 😉 Their shrimp is good, and as Bank said, we’re close to the coast so it’s easy to get fresh.
Ok, so let's make this simple. A fried Crab Cake burger topped with a generous layer of tatar sauce, then shredded lettuce with fried popcorn shrimp on top of that. A healthy smear of cocktail sauce on the bun then smashed down to mouth fitting.......
I'm hungry......
I find when traveling that I'm spoiled seafood wise because of living in coastal GA. Even when down in fl, Ponce Inlet for example, there's no comparison. Maybe I haven't found the right places. Spoiled by the Darien area, St Simon's, and Shellmans Bluff area. Best I've found for just seafood not atmosphere is Speed's at Shellman's. Mobile homes intertwined to be a restaurant. Motto is if your in a hurry go somewhere else. Great tasting seafood nothing fancy especially named dishes
Love the stuffed boiled flounder at Speed’s, the long wait is worth it. Had lunch today at B & J’s Restaurant in Darien, always the best fried shrimp I’ve had in any restaurant.
In my neck of the woods, it's...

I forgot a place on my list. Cow fish, which has sushi and burgers and even sushi burgers.

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.
