Hey guys,
Seeings that Bubs burger post made me want one of those smashed thin diner-style burgers for lunch. Where in BR has the best? I'm over by Highland and Airline so any recs this way would be fantastic.
TIA

Always loved Dearman’s burgers.

Remind me of camellia grill

I’ve never actually been to Smalls Sliders but their burgers look that way.







Personally, I’m a big fan of the sliders and the regular burger at Atomic Burger.





Especially the bacon jam style one.



Neither of the above are anywhere near Highland and Airline ]

Dearmonds


Even worse than Georges. Bland burgers that taste like nothing. Not even a speck of salt or pepper on them. Why are so many of BR’s “best” and “historic” restaurants so completely terrible?
Pastime: disgusting pizza, po’boys with stale bread and very little seafood
Fleur-de-lis: greasy, slow, cash-only, rude service, always wrecks my stomach
Dearman’s and George’s: bland bland bland bland bland bland
TJ Ribs: BBQ restaurant with zero smoke flavor in their food, worst brisket I’ve ever tasted from a restaurant, mediocre pulled pork to boot.
Jay’s BBQ: literally zero bbq flavor in any of their meat
Cane’s: zero seasoning in their chicken. The sauce is great, but it’s forced to carry the bland chicken
Po’boy loydes: po’boys are beyond under-stuffed. Other menu items are solid, at least
Brewbachers: definition of meh. Every menu item feels like settling.

Freddy's has become my new favorite fast food burger. That jalapeno fry sauce is legit

Ended up getting Freddy's due to close proximity. I can't believe I've never tried it before. Was just what I was looking for. Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

Freddy’s is legit
Burgers are tasty
Those little french fries are addictive
Fry sauce is seriously good
Hot dogs are solid
Frozen custard is in that top tier of the best desserts

Nothing not to like

. Couldn’t agree more.

. Agree but I would take it any day over pastime. But If I want pizza I’m not going to either place.

dearmans is ok, why get a burger at George’s? Ribeye and cheese double decker all day.

I’ve never considered TJs a BBQ restaurant. It’s a rib place, the baby backs are good.

Jay’s BBQ: literally zero bbq flavor in any of their meat
also not what I’d consider a BBQ restaurant, and if you are getting anything other than the chopped beef po-boy I don’t know what you’re thinking.

quote:

It’s a fast food restaurant don’t get your hopes up. Sauce is good.

I feel like brewbachers was great back in the day, like mid 90s, but just kind of average these days. So I agree.

I don't want to admit how many times I've been to Smalls in the fairly short time they've been open. Their sliders and fries are both on point.

The California burger and the Patty Melt are also legit.

What in hell do they put in their baked beans? They're orange, and taste like straight vinegar. Have they ever tasted their own beans?
Sonny's on Florida is the classic BR BBQ joint.

atomic burger is probably the best "fast food" burger in BR but it's pricy
