re: Best Burger in Baton Rouge?

It was $6 for years, but switched to $10 a few years ago. Was still a good deal even at $10. The burger came with fries or onion rings, and the onion rings were 2 very thick cut rings with an awesome little cup of sauce that was great spread on the burger itself.
When it was $6, the deal was called the 5-6-7 because it was a whole menu of items for $6 and ran from 5-7. The other menu items were not shabby either. Carpaccio was awesome. They even had a list of cocktails and wine for $6.
Good times..

I’m not saying Dearman’s has to be your favorite or even in your top 10.
What I am saying is that if you cannot enjoy this burger (i.e. you think this is bad), you are crazy.
If you want something not as simple, then fine, I have no problem. But that doesn’t make this burger not good.
I like just about any burger, some more than others of course. If I had to be stuck with one and only one forever, I’m picking a simple burger done right like LeBlanc’s in Zachary, Dearman’s, Dixie Maid, Goodwood Grill, or Riverside. To me, these are all in the same category.

I've never had dearmans but those pictures look like a burger you would get at a concession stand.

I hope the burger is better than the “blackened” chicken sandwich. A piece of microwave warmed Tyson breast with sharpie marker grill lines and a piece of pepperjack. Tinier piece of chicken than the great value buns that are tiny.
No pickles. No mustard. No mayo. Lettuce tomato onion nada.
Cheese tots were good. Beer is very good. That $12 chicken sandwich was absolutely criminal.

Had a good one the other day at Mike Anderson’s. Double patty, jalapeños and some special hot sauce. Wasn’t too spicy. Just right.

I’m not knocking Dearman’s as I just ate there a few weeks ago and ate every bite of my burger.
But to the vast majority of people, a higher quality green leaf lettuce or something would outrank shredded iceberg. A juicy red tomato would outrank a mealy light one. A good cheese would outrank an American single. Deeply caramelized onions would beat out raw or cooked too hot/fast on the flattop. A brioche or sourdough or potato bun would beat out a cheap bagged bun. Etc. I mean all of this individually, like just side by side comparing each ingredient.
So naturally, a burger comprised of all of those ingredients would seemingly be considered “better” quality wise than one made of the limp, lower quality items.
I love a simple diner burger, but to me it’s nearly an objective fact that one using better ingredients is better, assuming the burger was cooked and seasoned well in both situations. Even if you personally like the diner ones better.

Obligatory every time Dixie Maid gets mentioned

Curbside was good until they started selling frozen Sysco patties.
How can any place that holds itself somehow out as a “specialty BURGER restaurant” do this?

I mean, it was a drugstore lunch counter.

Do you have a financial interest in Walkon’s? You seem to shoehorn them in every time someone asks for a restaurant recommendation. Along with the slobber emoji.

Is Akasha Market in Tigerland still open. They used to have the best burgers.

Riverside is my favorite
The original location on 3rd street was old school GOAT. Use to be able to get burger special (with drink and fries) for less than 6 bucks. Had a great club sandwich too.

Desrman’s has gone down tremendously. I couldn’t even finish the last burger I had there. It tasted like it was mixed with potted meat.

Here's what might be an interesting pick: Portabello's
When it was on Lee Drive across from Mike Anderson’s it was a great burger. Not so much anymore, at least when I last tried it.

I am invariably disappointed by most burgers at restaurants. I can buy ground chuck and cook a better burger than 99% of restaurants. Recently been doing Oklahoma onion burgers on the griddle and they are awesome.
But the real disappointment is the fries. I just got back from Germany and the fries were amazing everywhere. Bubbly crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. I wish it were so here.

That burger looks so unhappy and overcooked.
Go get a real burger from Our Mom's or Overpass Merchant. I know for a fact OM makes everything in house, including the buns. It's worth the high dollar.

The middle eastern burger filled with some type of herb (oregano?)...nah, it tasted like herbs.

A fancy burger with a low quality, unseasoned patty isn't better than a diner burger that is cooked right and well seasoned. But, a higher end burger that is executed well with awesome meat, quality cheese, and better toppings absolutely deserves a place in the conversation even if those toppings are fancier.
that's not what i'm talking about.
When i say a fancy burger, i simply mean something a bit out of the ordinary.
For instance, Guy Fieri's Mac and Cheese burger, which is awesome, and enough burger for 2-3 people to eat.
or a burger with homemade pimento cheese.
or a burger with some pork belly preserve, blue cheese, onion rings and jalapenos.
Are those burgers good, probably so, but when judging best burger i think you should just be talking about a standard burger with standard condiments. standard doesn't have to mean yellow american cheese and bunny bread. using a potato bun and cheddar or pepper jack or white american as your standard is acceptable.
That's what goes into what's a good burger or not, what you are using as your standard ingredients, and when i say standard ingredients, i mean bun/meat/cheese/lettuce/tomato/onion/pickle/mayo/mustard/ketchup.
what i think makes Curbside and Burgersmith so good is the pickle. I don't think Curbside makes their pickles anymore but i know Burgersmith does, and it's something they are very proud of. I actually got the recipe for them and i'm going to try pickling the cucumbers i've been picking from my garden this week with it.
but the specialty burger definitely has it's place in the conversation, it's just not what i would use as give an example of who has the best burger in town.
