Best Burger in SOWAL?

[DCollins]

I tried to find this post everywhere and couldn't find it. So I made a new one. What is everyone's vote for best burger in SOWAL?

I would have to cast votes for Red Bar and Shuckums (even though I know they are in Bay County!!)

lots of good ones, but my go-to is Flip Flops

The best burger I've had in a while is at Pickles in Seaside! But, I love several other burgers around town such as Stinky's and Good Apples!'

BTW, a good burger requires a side of excellent fries and that isn't always what you get. See above for some places that offer excellent combos. There are some great burgers in town that I just don't go for because of the crappy/coated fries served with it.

If you're going to cross county lines, the outpost of Tucker Duke's at the bowling alley in Destin might be worth a try. Love their other location in Valparaiso.

We tried the one at Good Apples but was not tops on my list. I think the pattie was pre-cooked and if not it cooked really fast and the bun was too healthy for a burger. Probably really good for the healthy type people. We haven't tried Pickle's because I am not a fan of grass fed beef, it is too strong for my taste. I like Angus ground chuch (80/20). The closest to what I really like is at 98 BBQ. The burger is pretty good, not fancy, a regular bun!, and great hand cut fries with NO coating or seasoning. Village Market would be right up there because of their burger but their fries drag it down. I would rather frozen crinkle cut than those coated things. Smiling Fish serves up a pretty good burger, but here comes those coated fries. I will try and find the burger post so they can be merged.

funny how we expect different thing in a burger. Apples had a terrific burger when I had it. I thought it was angus, but can't remember. and their crinkle cuts are terrific but I could use a few extra on the plate.
98 BBQ has too much seasoning for my taste, but definitely love the fries along with a great BBQ sandwich.
Love Smiling Fish burger and/or grouper sandwich (but the fries - no).
LOVE Village Market grouper sandwich more than anything!

You should try Pickles (when they are not too busy). Outstanding burger and the fries are equally wonderful!

Local Catch has a very good burger but I can't do the fries. Good side selections though.

I really like Red Bar burger and the fries are iffy. Great onion rings though!

I had a great burger at Great Southern. They don't serve fries, I don't think. But they have roasted potatoes and other delicious sides (not the same as a good fry, I agree).

I really want to try Johnny McTighes burger - saw one the other day when I was there eating fish and chips (with malt vinegar). they have terrific hand cut fries.

I will miss the burger & fries at First Note Cafe since they have closed.

I really like Red Bar burger and the fries are iffy. But still love my Red Bar. They do have terrific Onion Rings!

It is funny! LOL. I ask 98 BBQ for salt only and they do it. I don't like seasoning on my fries either. I also hear that Fens has a great burger, made of sirloin and two 4 oz patties, so I can take one off.
