Posted June 22, 2018 Where is the best Burger in East Denver/ Aurora?? I do miss Fudruckers? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2018 I don't think there is any out east but up north (northglenn/westminster) around 100th and Washington, Culver's is one of the best places imo 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2018 I'm a north metro guy too. 5280 Burger Bar has fabulous burgers all very fresh ingredients. House-made buns and condiments. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 22, 2018 Jim's Burger Haven on Sheridan is simply awesome. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2018 Juicy burgers is really good too... Especially their animal fries 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Try My Brother's Bar on 15th street and LIttle Raven I believe is where its at. Also, Pete's Diner on East Colfax. And of course Jim's Burger Haven. Wish Whataburger and In-N-Out Burgers were here in Denver. Edited June 22, 2018 by ilovewomen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Five Guys has OK burgers, but the best fries. I can’t think of anyone as eclectic as Whataburger. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starting a new job on Monday and I will be working in Austin until the end of August. I’m going to OD on Whataburger while I’m there. For all you Whataburger lovers, eat your heart out or come down to Austin and join me for a great burger. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 28, 2018 Shotgun Willies has great burgers too ..... or maybe that is because of the great scenery! Lol BR 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 28, 2018 Three places come to mind for LoDo and east Denver/Aurora. Tilted Kilt on 16th street is one place but the service sucks. However I would like to suck and be sucked by the waitresses. Smashburger is also a good one and then there is the Red Robin which has a boat load of burgers on the menu. Stuben's also has a good burger but it can be crowded during the lunch hour. I also hear that City grill near the capitol building is also good. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) I’ve never eaten at steuben’s but in my opinion there are way better places than Tilted Kilt, Red Robin or Smashburger. However we all have our individual preferences as to what we feel is the best. Hope I didn’t offend you. Edited June 28, 2018 by ilovewomen 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Preach! I take the lazy man's route in that I get a patty from a butcher counter, one that has a mix of different beef cuts in it. For example, Whole Foods has fairly often their "Superior Burger" which is ribeye, brisket, and a cut or two I can't recall now. In Boulder, Black Belly has a patty that mixes in bone marrow. But after that, I cook it to temperature I want, have full range of topping I want, bun I want, etc. If mixing my own, I like to make a mix of lamb and bison for a burger, ala a buffalo, elk, lamb burger I had at the Fate brewery. Or bison beef mix. Not opposed to getting a burger some place, just that I don't make special efforts to find/go-to burger joints. That said, some of the options provided, I'm with the "eh" opinions camp. Cherry Cricket has the variety, is good, just don't see why people go wow about it. Breasturant burgers, Twin Peaks is better than Tilted Kilt, imo (and pretty much everything else on the menu; every couple of months, the burger is $5 w/beverage purchase). I like Freddie's for the patty melt, but not a fan of the fries. In-N-Out, can see why people like it (the fries), but burger is nothing special (it's good, not wow; if not paying to attention to the news, they are building a distribution center in the Springs, where the first CO location will be, 2019 timeframe, with DTC also being first Denver location). Nice burger at Shake Shack, but not a fan of the fries, but does have Abita root beer on tap, and decent shakes. Been a few years, but, Highland Tap had a good burger. As mentioned, City Grille by the capitol does a nice no frills burger. Not in CO, but starting to take a shine to Habit Burger (Shake Shack/in-N-Out but char-grilled). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get the butcher to blend meats and agree Tap and Burger has great options. Sounds like you enjoy a variety of good burgers and that's part of the fun with them. There is so much to be done to create and change up the flavors. Bacon is the gem on top with cheese! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sauté some roasted chiles with sweet onion, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, oregano. Place on the burger when the cheese goes on. The roasted chiles with bacon is also a great option for eggs. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's your favorite? I'm a huge fan of savory toppings on my burgers. Pepperjack always a winner. Bleu cheese and goat cheese are great with the right other toppings. My ATF burger is from 5280 Burger Bar in Westminster (never fail to get that half-off beer, but it's a sweat inducer): Angus Beef*, Pepper Jack Cheese, Sautéed Habanero & Serrano Peppers, Red Leaf Lettuce, 5280 Chipotle Mayo & Our Famous Ring Of Fire Sauce. Order this and your 2nd beer is half off! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might have to steal that recipe and tweak it a little more with bacon jam! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise you might have received a shitload of responses about Central Denver, Downtown, Cherry Creek, Boulder or what the butcher's at Whole Foods are brewing up. Now, let me cast aside any false modesty and say a few words about cheese and my culinary skills since you asked..... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
