Hook Burger out in Oxnard, CA was amazing. Amazing....!
Back in Dayton, OH, Lucky's Pub and Grill absolutely destroyed all competition. They are the benchmark I use to this day.
Johnny Huston's in Navarre, FL is still really good. Tourists hit the place like nothing else, and with it being a 40 minute drive, I try to go only on a Sunday as soon as they open.
