However, they all get put to shame by the burger at the Purple Onion in the Birmingham area (Gyro's Cafe in Trussville). NOTHING can beat them in my opinion.
We were so excited to finally get a Steak & Shake here in Mobile a few years ago. Then on our first visit, I was shocked to see the hamburger patty no bigger than a small McDonalds hamburger. Very disappointing.
Back Yard Burger and there's no close second. They're a fairly new chain started by some guy in Mississippi and their burgers taste just like the name implies, like you cooked it on your back yard grill. Everything I've tried there is great, but just the basic burger works just fine for me.

A little ashamed to admit that from time to time, I like those little square Krystals! Back in our younger, partying days, we used to call them "gut busters"!

I'm going to second your thought on that one. I've eaten at a couple of Steak and Shakes around the southeast, and I wasn't that impressed with the hamburger.

Not exactly "Fast Food" but has anyone here ever tried a "Bubba Burger? My son keeps a box in his freezer and loves them. I have tried one and they are pretty good. Not as good as made at home with fresh ground chuck, but the best frozen patty I think I have ever tried.

Milo's Hamburgers--hands down, is the best, imo. They're unique because of the sauce, and they will even give you extra sauce free for your fries. You must try it if you are up this way.

They are still called that along with "bathroom busters" and "y'all may wanna wait 20 minutes before goin in there" also my personal fave "WOOOOOO Doggie Somebody light a Match!!!!" I'm saddened to say I hear those WAAAAYYYYYY to many times from my friends and brother's friends after eatin Krytals. But my favorite hambuger is from Hamburger Hut in East Cobb County Georgia, they are soooooo good, my best friend who hates chicken and only eats hambugers agrees.
My little Backyard Buger rant NEVER..NEVER get their chicken sandwiches they tend to be WAAAAYYYYYY under cooked, so I don't eat there any more.

It's been 7 to 8 years since I have eaten any kind of fast food. One of my favorite's was Wendy's (chain) and Gurney Burgers (BIG ole burgers) was my local favorite.

7 to 8 years!!! Geez, your arteries must be disgustingly clear. What are you doing, trying to live forever?
Seriously, I admire your willpower.
