It's time again to play WHAT'S THE BEST BURGER????
I still hold that Kirks STEAKburgers in Campbell/Palo Alto is the best. Something about a 1/2 lb burger that STAYS 1/2 lb after cooking is just awesome.
Second to that, for me, would be In-N-Out. Best damn chain burger EVER!
Five Guys is OK. Better than Burger King/McDonalds or Wendys. I guess I just don't like the whole quantity to the extreme thing....
How about you?

Zak's
Now, that's a tasty burger!
is amazing. Every time I get to Vegas or LA, it is one of the first places I go. The burgers are juicy, beefy and marvelous. The fries are heaven-sent and the shakes are fabulous.. The Zen simplicity of the menu is a thing of beauty in itself. 
The "Black and Blue" burger.
Their own blend of beef, jalapeno bacon, gorgonzola, buffalo sauce, onion straws and chipotle crema on freshly made buns and fresh cut fries.
For you veggies (or not!) they also have an awesome eggplant parmesan sandwich: homemade eggplant parmesan, pesto sauce, sun dried tomato, fresh mozzarella and mixed greens.
Damn...and I have a muffin for lunch. 
NO PICS FOR YOU!!!! ('cause I don't have any)

It really is all about the meat.
the disgusting looking, and some may say sounding, steamed cheeseburgers at Teds in Meriden CT.
Five Guys is good but Jacks Wayback Burgers have been making a move into CT and I've found it very good.

Now, if I want to go in, sit down and have a burger, I'll say the best I've had is at Plan B Burger Bar in Glastonbury CT, not only is the food damned good it's the only burger place I've ever gone where you can order a Manhattan and they'll not only ask you if you want it with Rye or Bourbon but follow up with "What kind of Rye or Bourbon would you like"

Fast: Tommy Burger 
Upscale: HK at Hubert Keller Burger Bar 
We don't have anyof those other chains mentioned in the thread.
Mojo Burgers in San Jose
Hawaiian burger joint....I do love a tasty burger!
My buddy's son raises several beef cattle every year.
We put our order in and split one.
Comes all processed, packaged, and flash frozen.
At a cost of about $2.60/lb. total to us.
I get steaks, roasts, ribs, hamburger, etc.
Best burgers I've ever put in my mouth.
The steaks are to die for.
Sort of like a CSA for meat (although I can already hear my vegan friend screaming at the top of her lungs ).
I actually know a guy who has a CSA farm in MS. I'll see what he thinks.
The quintessential greasy spoon burger. Open until 3, perfect late night eats, funky funky funky.
Locally sourced fresh beef, killer fries, and sides and salads that are actually tasty and nutritious. I like the ginger-sesame steamed veggies- even my mother
would approve!
Five Guys as runner-up.
