A Sea Of Red

Five Guys has captured this category every year since its inception. Can the national chain continue to fend off the local challengers?

5 Guys but you may want to add Cookout. And to drive thru

Five Guys, hands down.

For you Five Guys fans, what do you order?

Me: double bacon cheeseburger, lettuce, tomato, pickle, A-1 sauce.

wow!

add cookout!

I did and it forced us all to re-vote.

Can't vote for any since they all use poor quality beef. The Bison burger at Depot Grill beets them all,
in my opinion.

Other: PokEJoes' burger

5 guys close 2nd. I get the double bacon cheeseburger, lettuce & bbq sauce.

Despite having lived in Austin and having eaten hundreds of Pok-E-Joes sandwiches at Longhorn sporting events, I have never had one of their burgers. I may give it a shot next time I'm there. But i have always been down with both their sliced & chopped beef sandwiches.

Cookout by far. Refuse to eat at $5$GUY$

Look at these burger options Pok-E-Joes:

Fiesta Burger
Refried beans, corn chips, onions, salsa, cheese, mayo, and our freshly made pico de gallo make this full-flavored burger a Hill City favorite.

World Famous C&C
Pico de gallo, chili, and corn chips give this burger a Texas-sized flavor.

Pok-E-Western
A Lynchburg tradition. Our Texas Burger topped with a fried egg and yellow relish. We didn't invent it, we just perfected it.

Two for One Burger
Two great flavors together for the first time. Our third pound handcrafted burger topped with our slow cooked brisket and smothered with our Texas 'Q sauce. A beef lover's favorite.

I love the C&C

I had no idea that Pok-E-Joes did burgers. They cater the press box at the Hillcats sometimes and came away fairly impressed by their chopped beef. Really tasty. I may have to hit up these burgers at some point.

Where is Pok-e-joes?

Over by the Food Lion on Boonsboro Road, same shopping center as Isabellas.

And cheaper than 5 guys. I think their burgers are around $3-4 and come with fries at that price.

It is really good but their portions are small!

I agree with this. I always order an extra side of onion rings.

The Two for One burger sounds like a great option to me.

I'd be down with the Pok-E-Western if they'd replace the relish with pickled beet. Don't hate until you've tried a Kiwi-style burger.

That C&C burger at poke-e-joes is killer. It's what I get every time.

That place would be bringing in money hand over fist if it weren't in Boonesboro. Good food and really reasonable prices.

5 guys is obviously the best burger in town though.

we still don't have one where i live. its a blessing and a curse all in one.

Yeah but you can get a hot Italian beef wet and REAL pizza. So I won't be breaking out the violins for you anytime soon!

you obviously have been hanging with atrain....

Actually, Mallet doesn't live in Chicago but the Quad Cities. As someone who has lived in Western Illinois can attest, it is not exactly on the same level gastronomically.

Good point. I've been there. Do they still have the Riverboats?

New place coming soon. Will win this every year. Stay tuned...

Let the speculation begin...

Krystals or White Castle?
