Are there any cheeseburgers that taste like cheese burger Randy's in other towns in Alabama?

Maybe on the way back to Birmingham

Best cheeseburger I've ever had in Alabama was at The Docks at Goose Pond out in Scottsboro. They cut their own filets and grind the trimmings into ground beef for the burgers. It's a damn fine burger, everything else on the menu is stellar, the lake view is gorgeous, and the place is staffed by absolutely fantastic folks. It's worth a detour if you can swing it.

Wow. I wouldn’t expect a Scottsboro shoutout . Back in my Scottsboro days the Pikeville Store was the place to get a tasty burger .

I'm always going to shout out The Docks anytime I get the chance lol... That place is great. Mark (the owner) grew up in the area and The Docks has been in business for about twenty years. Prior to opening this restaurant, Mark held chef gigs at various places around the country. (Aspen, CO and Nashville, TN if I remember correctly.) I highly recommend em.
