It's getting tough to find a real burger -- the kind that's not shaped in some faraway processing plant and then slapped frozen into a high tech grilling contraption. We're talking juicy, drippy, char-grilled burgers made from beef ground fresh daily -- burgers that nestle themselves into their fluffy buns. These burgers come with baggage -- pickles, lettuce and tomatoes -- but also bring friends, those golden crispy fries.
Humbly appointed but scrupulously clean, El Cap (family established in 1963 and now run by the second generation) focuses on the glory of burgers but also offers other hearty grub -- the chili is a favorite of regulars. Eat on the patio if the weather is nice, park it at the bar if there's a game on and ask for extra napkins with your order. You'll need them. -- Lisa Galloway

Angelyrn - 08/07/2008Who stuffed the ballot box. I have been there twice and hated it both times. I have had better burgers at fast food places. Service was lousy and the atmosphere was like a 7-11.
Best Hamburgers
