2020: Wish lists and predictions?

[Greenville]

Great suggestions! The pimento cheese burger at Northgate sounds wonderful. That is now on my to-do list, for sure!

When thinking about this the other day, I remembered having a good burger at Liberty Tap Room a few years ago. Someone else recommended Mojo's Burgers in Simpsonville, and raved about them. That was the first I had heard of them.

And I know it's a chain, but the Ground Sirloin Cheddar Burger at Ruby Tuesday is really good.

Blue Ridge Brewing Company is a very good place for burgers and other American cuisine in Downtown. They also have great ale-battered onion rings.

I like the bison burger at Ruby Tuesday. I have grown to enjoy Five Guys burgers as well.

It has been a while now, but I ate a burger at Liberty Tap Room & Grill last year and remember it being decent. They even make their own chips, which are good.

Several years ago, I tried a burger at Wild Wing Cafe during a football game and thought it was good.

Larkins has a great kobe beef burger and are open for lunch and have a great outdoor patio :-)

Bohemian at Horizon Records used to have a GREAT burger on the menu -- plus, they'll cook it medium for you instead of the usual well-done you see most places. Haven't been there in a while so I can't promise it's still there but if it is...hmm...may have to go there tomorrow.

So, I think we've basically proven that it is fairly easy to find a good burger in Downtown Greenville, diminishing the "need" for a specialty burger restaurant like Fuddrucker's, which had a chance years ago.

If Carolina Ale House actually opens in the near future, that will likely become just one more option on the already adequate list of places to buy a decent burger in Downtown.

I doubt anything was proven. We discussed what other places offer burgers. Many fall short of what Fuddrucker's offered.

Fuddrucker's was and is an established specialty burger restaurant.

Totally agree. Plus, all the burger places that have been mentioned are waiter/table service restaurants -- which almost always come with a higher price point (and a less casual atmosphere) than a set-up like Fuddruckers or Five Guys where you order at a counter and then sit down.

I think downtown could use a few more quick-casual options where younger people, families, people on a budget or anyone who doesn't have the time for table service can grab a bite. We've got subs covered, and Hot Dog King, Atlanta Bread and Bertolo's certainly count. But no burgers.

How about someone bringing in Smashburger? They are about to expand like crazy. 60 plus new locations coming this year.
