Betty's Best Burgers

Food Type: Burgers & Fries
Origin: U.S.A.
website: n/a
location: Us1 s.w. 104th st

There was once a Fuddrucker's on Us1 and 104th. I went here occasionally growing up, back then there was a window into the kitchen next to the cashiers in which you could see the whole cow hanging and the butcher cutting up chunks of meat for the fresh burgers. Years later, Fuddruckers enjoyed success with various car meets at the location (and the resulting business), but lost the infamous window due to what I assume were complaints by sensitive people.

A couple years back I was hit with a big suprise. Fuddrucker's had been sold. Why? Who knows. The Us1 location had been sold to someone named Betty, who had replaced the sign with one bearing bad ghetto-looking font but accompanied by a familiar burger. For a long while I was reluctant to step inside, to see what they had done to the place. The big suprise was, nothing had changed! The decor, menu, prices, layout. Everything was the same. And so, the Burgers were still great!

Some will argue the burgers are better at Betty's than at Fudd's, but I say its too close to call. When the menu still has the 1/3, 1/2, and 1 pound burgers intact, I doubt anything has changed at all. Here's my verdict: if you like Fuddruckers, you can't go wrong at Betty's Best Burgers.

$8.49 for a half-pound burger (huge), seasoned fries and a drink? yes please. easily the most burger for the price out of all my reviews.

[burger radius is phenomenal]
