Best Hamburger

You don't grill burgers for 34 years without learning how to cook them to perfection. That's part of what makes Jack's special. Another thing that sets it apart from other burger joints is additive-free patties made of 100 percent fresh, lean beef ground on site twice daily. These tender, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth burgers pass the ultimate patty test: They're delicious even without condiments or cheese. Jack's serves thick, creamy shakes as well, but the root beer floats steal the show here.
