And don't forget Peppy Grill in fountain square!!! Best greasy spoon in the state!

+1 for Peppy's. The food is good and priced right, and you can go in there at 4am if you want. I would recommend going in for lunch sometime and sitting at the counter though.

You should change that tonite... just for the experience. Get a six sack and see if you can make it home before you poop your pants.

QFT... Slides in - slides out even faster....


The two best burgers/heart attacks have not been mentioned - because you can't get 'em in Indiana... In N Out and the Hat (burger with homeade pastrami heart attack joint in Southern California...) In N Out is expanding this way - so sooner or later y'all will get a shot at them. I doubt that the Hat ever will. But if you are in So Cal - look it up. And have your cardiologist on speed dial.

In N Out is good, and the menu is about as simplistic as you can get. To be honest though, I've seen some of the drive thru lanes out there backed up around the block and it's just not THAT good.

My son came back from Californistan raving about In-N-Out. I think the blighter would move out there just to get to it. I was hoping someone would mention the elk burger at Bub's, that's what I get there. Folks, they have the "big ugly" which is a whole pound, I think after cooking. If you can finish one, you get your picture on the wall. Finish two, and it's a double size picture. Three and it's poster sized. I think the Man vs Food guy was trying for four. Damn. I'm lucky to get a quarter pound one down.

I've been toying with the idea of an oscar burger. Some top end dead cow, still bleeding, asparagus and crab, and smother it with bearnaise sauce. Filets are good that way, should work for a burger.

The Hat! That big ole pastrami sandwich and a bigger bag of greasy fries.

We just got one here in Evansville several monthas ago. I will have to try it. If you like Pizza. Try "the slice" (Lincoln and Weinbach). 1.50 for a one topping. On the go, it's not too bad. Just a little hole in the wall.

Ive been there a couple time when I went to UE for the summer. Also chicago pizza in french lick is good. the best was patoka pizza till they closed. the best burger has to be jenny's dinner as it seems boarder of ky works.

Not quite in Indiana, but just over the border into Michigan - Redemack's in New Buffalo is FANTASTIC. You haven't had a burger until you've had a Redemack's burger. If you are ever in the area, do yourself a favor and stop there. It may spoil burgers for you for the rest of your life but you will taste a small piece of heaven.

Haven't had the pleasure myself, but Redemack's is listed by AHT (A Hamburger Today, foodie review site devoted to hamburgers) as one of the top ten burgers in the country...

Squealers has great burgers and even better BBQ. Marvin's has good garlic burgers. I haven't been impressed with Five Guys Burgers & Fries.

I like In N Out burgers and Fudruckers, they both put out a good burger but I think what makes people out here remember them as being a little better than what they actually are is because you can't get them here. I remember back when you couldn't get Coors beer out here. If someone was going out west and could bring you some back you were really the cool guy at the next party.But now Coors is just another beer.
Then there is Jack In The Box tacos. It isn't because I can't get them here, I love that crunchy shell around the edges and spicy and greasy in the middle, yumm. I am not sure how far I would have to go for a Jack in The Box taco but they are great.
A great burger that I remember was at Johnny Rockets in Laguna Beach Ca. I don't know if they are a chain or how large they are. It is a 50s style diner with juke boxes at the tables and awesome burgers. I would have to say they have the best burger I have ever had.
Now the best burger that I have had in Indiana would be the trackmaster at the Side Track Saloon is Lowell. 1/3rd pound ground chuck topped with thick slice of hard salami and whatever fixins you want.

White Castle.

Hey you can't beat a good Steam grilled White Castle with lots of onions on them. Ummm good. Worked ther 2 years as a teen ager, met my wife of 33 years there. And my father-in-law retired from there after nearly 40 years. Trouble is there are only a few Castles in town that really know how to make them right! There is an art to doing it correctly! Haven't had one in a while, hope they still have the jalpeno pepper cheese! Gonna go there tomorrow and get me a sack!

 

[pinshooter45]

Not meaning to Hijack the thread. But I wish we could get El Pollo Loco & Taco Cabana here in Indy. El Pollo is out of California, and Taco Cabana is out of Texas. There used to be a Taco Cabana in FT Wayne not sure it's still there though. I did hear Jack-in the-Box is copmming to Indy never had one of theirs before.

The one in new albany still has that cheese and makes a pretty good one to my standards but not as good as krystal

Teddy's Burger Joint at Southport and 37

- this may be due to proximity, though. I eat there a couple times a month.

Johnny Rockets is good, and the shakes are to die for. Opie Taylor's in Bloomington is awesome as well. Hard to pick an above-all winner, though.

I love Redemak's! It's only about 45 min drive from me so the wife and I will go eat there once in a while. They do have one of the best burgers!

As a local favorite i like a burger from a bar and grill called Sementos, it's in Valparaiso.

For a chain or fast food burger I love to get White Castles!

Wow, are they still open? I remember them from when I was a kid. They were pretty good back then.
