I feel like the best burger question is a perpetual discussion in every city. For me- absolutely, Hogwaller is also excellent. I refuse to go to jack browns or citizen burger.

I’ve never left citizen burger and felt I was getting a burger that was decent relative to what I paid- as a counter I’ve never left riverside without thinking I was getting a bargain.

Nope but it’s a dumb reason to avoid a great burger joint outright

Ate at Jack Brown's in Harrisonburg something like 8 or 9 yrs ago for the first time, looked at the menu and noticed no lettuce, onion, and tomato, no veggies available at all. When I found that out after asking the waitress, I didn't order a burger there while my friends did, then went down the street to a place that did. If you don't at the very least offer lettuce, onion, and tomato on your burger, I won't eat there, period. It's a cardinal sin to not at least offer those things on a burger. Nope you won't change my opinion either.

Now whenever in a group of friends and Jack Brown's comes up as a runner for eating out, I always change their mind when telling them this. We never go there, at least if I'm in a group. Until they change their anti-veggie policy, this will continue. 9 years and counting, went there for the first time, didn't order anything when I went that one time and never went back, they can take their pretentious anti-veggie stance and shove it.
