'You Would Never Guess': Who Serves Up Atlanta Area's Best Burger?

ATLANTA — When it comes to finding the best burger in the Atlanta metro, Patch readers are an opinionated bunch — and we wouldn't have it any other way. We asked this passionate group to reveal their picks for the juiciest, most flavorful burgers in the metro area, and boy did they deliver (no food puns intended...or were they?).

It's clear that Atlantans take their burgers very seriously. Readers raved about the "perfectly seasoned, juicy" burgers at Bad Daddy's Burger Bar that are "cooked to perfection every time." As one particularly enthusiastic respondent put it, "The Bad Daddy Sauce makes it go from 100 to 1000."

A surprising dark horse emerged in Dunwoody — the unassuming NFA Burger, located in a Chevron gas station.

"You would never guess the best burger in town was inside a Chevron gas station," one reader marveled. Others praised the "perfectly cooked" smash burgers with their "sassy sauce" as an "unbelievably good" combo.

"Their burgers are so simple but also so tasty," wrote Chip Couch, of Alpharetta. "Billy Kramer has perfected his burger and keeps tinkering with different variations on it."

But the burger joint that seemed to inspire the most ardent fans? Farm Burger, hands down. Readers went gaga for the "juicy, flavorful patties made from 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef." As one succinct review from reader Gail put it: "If you'd ever had one, you wouldn't even have to ask!!" High praise indeed.

Burger devotees also shouted out local favorites like Lucky's Burgers and Brew ("fresh, large and tasty"), The Black Diamond Grill ("burgers and wings are awesome"), and the classic Vortex ("always perfectly cooked with a tasty and eclectic variety of toppings").

One reader gave a shoutout to McDonald's.

"Let's face it...when it's hot and fresh...with hot and fresh fries and a coke...McDonald's," the reader said.

No matter where you get your burger fix, one thing is clear: Atlantans don't mess around when it comes to this particular culinary delicacy.
