subject: Traits Of The Best Burger Joints [print this page] The traits of the best burger joints vary person to person. Everyone likes something a little different. Some people like an upscale burger joint, while others prefer it to be as casual as possible. The burger joints in between appeal to both types of people. One thing that all the best burger joints have in common is good food, good service, and cold drinks.
FOOD
Great burgers are a must for a restaurant to be considered one of the best burger joints. No matter what else a restaurant has going for it, the burgers must be top notch. The burger should start out with high quality meat. Cooking is best when done over an open fire, but on a grill can be acceptable. Fresh ingredients and soft textured buns are a common in burger joints that are labeled the best. Though a bad burger cannot be fixed by covering it in condiments and toppings, a great burger can be even better with favorite toppings, condiments, and cheeses. A wide range of burger options makes sure a varied group can all order something that they like. Great sides are definitely a plus.
ATMOSPHERE
A great burger joint will have a relaxed atmosphere. Many will have a sports atmosphere; so if you are looking for a place to visit with an old friend, avoid those during the big games. Others are more casual with pool tables and a quieter atmosphere where conversations can take place. A friendly atmosphere (patrons and staff) is towards the top of everyones list when looking for a great burger joint. Interesting dcor is a plus for any restaurant.
PRICE
It is expected to pay a little more for a quality burger served in a great atmosphere, but it should still be considered affordable by most people. The food should be a good value as well. Generous proportions of high quality food that tastes great should be expected when ordering food in one of the best burger joints. The extra toppings, cheeses, and condiments should be affordable also.
BEVERAGES
Most people want an ice cold beer served with their burger. A wide range of beers that include inexpensive domestic beers, craft beers, and imported beers is expected when going to a burger joint that is labeled as the best. There should be wines, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages available, too.
