BURGER TOUR - Stop #5 Next Thursday?!?

PrintEDIT: It turns out that I have an unavoidable, last minute scheduling conflict. Anyone opposed to postponing the Burger Night and making it this Thursday???
The Burger Hounds are taking the tour to the people and letting their voices be heard. From this point forward we will post a biweekly poll with 4-5 establishments and the one with the most votes wins. RR'ers, its up to you! Jch would be much obliged if you would vote for whichever establishment serves draft beer.
I believe the consensus has the stops ranked as:
92 - Terry's Turf Club
86 - Zip's
83 - Bard's Burgers
77 - 915
I was in dissent, ranking Zip's 4th actually. This upsets Ash to no end and its probably the only reason im mentioning it again. Honk! So far there really hasnt been a clunker on the tour. I've heard a lot about Five Guys but i must be honest and state, for the record, it looks likes its going to be Johnny Rockets-ish. Has anyone out there in RR Land ate there? Feedback? I know the other places on the poll but im open to any comments and future suggestions for places to visit, of course.
Here's a link to a burger article in today's Cincinnati Enquirer put an end to boring burgers.

Not been to any of these places...
I would suggest a trip to Fatburger in Oaklry. I’ve not been there but a couple of my friends have become regulars.
FWIW – I din’t go the Terry’s Turf Club..it must be a killer burger to beat out Zips.
What is the date of the next burger outing? Maybe D2 and I can arrange to attend.

TTC, so far, is head and shoulders above anyone else. I had thought Zip’s might have a sporting chance to get on the same level, at least. Nah. Right now I think the most worthy challenger remaining might be Gordo’s.
Bard’s wins the best value, by far. And when in the hell is In and Out Burger coming to the midwest?!?

As a longtime Zip's loyalist
I can say, without hesitation, that Terry’s makes a better burger.

how about better fries?

the bathrooms might actually be a dead heat.

Except Zip’s is slightly less crowded and you’re eating in the dark.

You guys need to try Maribelle's Tavern on
Go on a Tuesday night when you can get a two-topping burger with a side for $6. They do have draft beer — and a pretty decent selection.
It’s not as good as Terry’s, but def worth the trip.

I haven't been to a Johnny Rockets
But I don’t think it’s a comparison to Five Guys. While the burgers are really good at Five Guys, in all honesty, they’re probably overhyped. But you can put as many toppings as you want on it for the same price, so that’s pretty cool. The big thing about Five Guys is their fries. NEVER ORDER ANYTHING LARGER THAN A SMALL. Even the small fries is basically a brown paper lunch bag filled with fries. Basically a meal in and of itself.
I think they’ve started accepting credit cards too, but some of the ones around here don’t (didn’t?), so be warned.
Agree
I havent eaten at the other places but Five Guys makes a good burger and the fries are always very good. I have never been disappointed with a burger there and there are a bunch of different topping to choose from. Anytime I go with someone else we just split a small fry because they really do just pour fries into a brown bag.
If you've not been to johnny Rockets..you've not missed a thing
back in the day it was pretty fun…the servers would sing and dance and put on little performances etc, Especially in chicago…but now its just an over priced Steak and Shake.

If not going to a Johnny Rockets means not supporting the Redskins in some small way, I’m happy to never go.

i went to five guys in pittsburgh
and i remember enjoying the burger, it wasn’t anything out of this world. I wouldn’t make a trip down to Cincinnati just to eat at 5 guys, but if I happen to be in the area I probably would consider it.

McDonald's enters the 1/3 lb Angus burger fray
I just had the Deluxe and it wasnt all bad. Of course Bard’s is only one more block down the road and serves a cheaper, much better 1/3 lb burger…so this is probably the one and only time i’ll consume a McD’s. But its considerably better than anything else on their menu. The bun was a little big for my tastes so i simply just threw the top bun in the garbage (plus it had mayonnaise on it, a major no no in my world). The tomato was very ripe and the pickle was more like a Claussen’s/Izzy’s sliced dill as opposed to those fluorescent green pickles McD’s has used for decades.

the best burger i ever had was at Ted Peter's.
Ted Peter’s is a little shack in St. Petersburg. It is a rather simple burger, but it is cooked to perfection, and I haven’t a clue what kinda cheese they use, but it is amazing.
Whenever I’m in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area I stop at Ted Peter’s.

ust prior to the close of my store in Oakley this establishment opened

Yes, I do. Normally, they're chains for a reason. People like the food.
Also, they’re close and usually relatively cheap. I’m not driving 35 minutes in both directions to go to Bard’s. Sorry.

Five Guys recap
*jch did NOT wear his dbag orange t-shirt.
*ash wore a holy shirt!
*i am starting to consider not having beers before and after getting eating these damn burgers especially when we get double burgers and a bacon cheese beef hot dog (best with onions, gr peppers and hot sauce)
*the legendary supersized fries didnt seem so big after all. but they were tasty, much much much better than penn station.
*overall i’d rank FGB&F significantly behind TTC but ahead of all the others.
