Fresh/good burgers?

[Qsw]

I was wondering if anybody here knows about a really good spot for burgers. I ordered from McDonald's a couple of weeks ago, and while it was much better than it is in the U.S., it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. In Minnesota, I used to eat at a place that made fresh burgers, and I knew it was made well because I wouldn't get heartburn after eating them. Getting hungry now

Are there any equivalents to that here? I could try Spectra's I guess.

Lucille's in Maadi on Road 9. I have never considered any burger from McDonald's to be a tasty one....

I have found a lot of burgers here taste like they have liver in them. TGI's on the corniche In Maadi has ok ones, but not like home.

I like Cook Door. Don't know if they're fresh or not, but they certainly aren't McDonald's//Burger King type.

The fries are Xtra crunchy.

Drip drip drip.

I cannot recommend because I do not eat burgers.. ever

Buy fresh ones at Gourmet (near Maadi City Centre aka Carrefour) and grill them your self (still only Egyptian meat).
I also liked Foodruckers (sp?) in City Stars...

Hardy's are thought to be better than Mcdonald's by those who eat burgers regularly, in Hurghada anyway. And they deliver too, even to the beach :-)

Lucilles is good, nice that they don't use salt. There used to be a Johnny Rockets in the big mall, but haven't been there in ages.

The best burger is at Chilly's. The one at Bandar. If you want to order home delivery Burger Kitchen makes quite a nice burger.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Haven't tried the burgers from any of those places yet, time to start I am trying to cut down on meat, but the allure of a good burger is too much sometimes

I agree on the cook door fries hyper_janice, in fact now that I come to think of it most of the food that I got from there has been good.

Helen_Ellis, you've made me jealous now, I am starting to imagine relaxing on the Hurghada beach lol
