16. Kobe Burger
The Burger Stand – Lawrence & Topeka, KS
You can’t go wrong with any of the burgers at The Burger Stand, but our choice for the best would be the Kobe Burger. It’s not just the Kobe beef that makes it, it’s the truffle butter and pickled red onion.

19. Primetime Burger
Hopdoddy Burger Bar – Austin & Dallas, TX and Scottsdale, AZ
There are a lot of great burgers at Hopdoddy, but none of them can touch the decadence of the Primetime Burger. Made from amazingly fatty Texas Akaushi beef, each burger is exceedingly rich. That richness is only increased by the addition of brie, truffle aioli, and caramelized onions. It’s like coating your mouth in velvet.

Hodad’s – San Diego, CA

25. Hamburger
Zuni’s Cafe – San Francisco, CA
There’s plenty of great food at Zuni’s Cafe, but if there’s one thing we’d order every time, it’s the burger served up on rosemary focaccia. Each burger is house-ground from grass-fed beef and topped with some delicious aioli.
