Please add to list

1. Cook to order and temperature.....a must

2. Hand cut fries

3. Locally produced bread, where available. Bread is often very underrated at burger place.

4. Multitude of condiments for burger and/or fries. Ketchup and tobasco wont cut it

5. Serve root beer and local iced tea

I would like to make a motion, to bring under consideration, Honey Mustard when offering Sweet Potato Fries.

I'm a stickler for not offering enough cheese options. But cooking to order should be number 1 on any list, and even further they should have someone in the back who knows HOW to cook to order.

One place I know that does all this gets rip on here because of the architecture of the building.

Grind your own meat and serve burgers medium rare at request.

Agreed.

I find it funny that a lot of places claiming to be the "best burger in town" use a packaged mushy sesame seed bun. I think the bread often makes the burger.

That's a good one! I like some more unusual cheeses.

Respect the onion.

Offer grilled onions and onion rings. Preferably thick cut so you get the actual onion taste.

use quality bacon and as others have said, an assortment of cheese options. I also like caramelized onions on my burger.

I love that joint.

- Need at least three different cheese options. Maybe Cheddar, Blue and Swiss.

- Need Bacon as an option.

- Need Tater Tots

- Need chili as an option.

- Need a slaw burger for the hippies

- Need in house made, flour breaded, not batter dipped onion rings.

- Need fried mushrooms and fried pickles

- Need a pool table
