Whataburger. Backyard Burger is not bad either.

Put

Put some Jack Miller's or Pig Stand BBQ sauce in the meat when you're making patties.

Whopper from Burger King is the best of the chain stores. Ditto to homemade elk burger with 15% beef fat as the best of all.

I like home built burgers. Moose or beef stuffed with spinach and topped with melted blue cheese and mayo/bbq sauce.

For any venison burger I have the local meat store add bacon right into the grind. It's their own "ends and pieces" from the stuff they smoke in-house and they grind in 3# of bacon for every 10# of venison. Everybody likes them. They taste great and they don't dry out. Mostly we grill them but if it's a raging blizzard or torrential downpour, they can be fried in cast-iron without adding any grease or oil.

For a quickie, Culver's is only 5 blocks away, and 5-guys is good with a little more time-planning.

If you are ever going through Hamilton, MT, get a beast burger from Napps. I've had a lot of burgers from a lot of places. and Napps burgers are amazing.

Do you grind it yourself? I have yet to have bad venison burger, but skip the beef fat for grinding, I use bacon.

We only have sonic, DQ and Whataburger. Of those I prefer the Whataburger.

But we usually go to other places for burgers that are not chain.. WB used to be really good 35 years ago, its not so great anymore but works if we have to stop along the way out of town also...

I've never had bad either. We just toss in a pork butt or picnics for pork and rock on...

Yeah, I've never understood using beef fat in venison. By the time beef fat 'melts' the venison is overcooked. Pork 'melts' at a lower temp.

Not a fan of deer burgers, even with extra fat or bacon added. I have made it into breakfast sausage that I like, cooked bigger like a burger, or better yet use it in chili, spaghetti, taco meat, etc. I leave a lot in chunks to make stew meat out of, and would rather have a good stew than a burger. miles

White Castle!

Most wild game is WAY overcooked.... rare is about all we like, med rare is overdone but salvageable as needed....

The best burgers - by far- in my experience, have been those which we ate one year from an August moose. The sweet, milky smell of the fat was enough make your mouth water and the burgers, ground together with a nice helping of fat and seared over a wood fire, were to die for.

Mom-n-Pop then Red Robin....

can't stand the chains that have the taste and texture of STEAMED Meat, WTH is that!?!?!?

That is no fair at all! Moose, in my opinion, is some of the most flavorful meat anywhere. Really exceptional. Only eland comes close.

Fudruckers...

For a fast food burger a local place called Mr. Hotdog makes the best coney dogs and burgers around here. The "coney burger" is a double cheese burger with a layer of coney sauce between the patties. An obvious heart attach waiting to happen but a good treat once in awhile.
