Sometimes I can get the grill at home (local meat) to offer me up one that would never compare to a restaurant

This is where I'm at. With a cast iron pan and a decent stovetop it's very easy to make a proper smashburger at home.
I also can't handle the texture of ground beef at anything below well, and I don't like egg yolks, so that already disqualifies a lot of the popular, fancy pub-style burgers around here.
There's a sports bar in my hometown that makes the best burgers I've ever had in my life. They're always perfectly cooked.
I made my own on an indoor grill complete with bacon, fried onions, and a homemade mushroom sauce.
Edit: I should make my own patty sometime with onion, garlic, jalapeno and cheese mixed in.
Gordon Ramsey Burger in Vegas was maybe one of the best craft burgers I've had.
Super burger in Monahans, TX. It's a banger for the money and it's got so much flavor compared to fast food chains like McDonald's or Burger King
It used to be at the Pecos Bill Cafe in Disney World. Something about being out there and having the condiment bar...I just really enjoyed that burger in the middle of the long day.
They don't do it anymore apparently. It's just Mexican food now.
Killer Burger's Peanut Butter Pickle Bacon Burger
It's not for everyone
I've had it several times and it's always 10/10
Just wish they'd get their shit together with the fries, inconsistent and forgettable
A double-patty cheeseburger from Gasoline grill. Their fries were bad tho.
All time fav: Homemade with a blend of seasonings cooked medium rare. Topped with mayo, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, and onion. Nothing has beaten that.
Fast Restaurant: Smash burger
Overrated: In N Out. I just donβt get the love. Theyβre slightly better than McDonalds. Yes, I said it. Oh, and their fries are trash. Whataburger is much better.
Fancy: The Skirted Heifer
I feel like people saying they don't like in-n-out are just being contrarian for no reason. The fries are fresh cut, the burgers are fresh cooked and if you're going to insist that they're comparable to McDonalds, the food is 1/3 the price (and the toppings are undeniably more fresh).
I've had whataburger and I spent 18$ on what I considered to be at best standard fast food. I can get a 4x4 at in-n-out, leave absolutely stuffed for like 8$.

Lair of the Minotaur at Kuma's Corner in Chicago. Nothing else comes close.
As far as burgers I've gotten from a restaurant, there was a bar on Broadway in Nashville, I can't remember the name, but it had sort of a trailer park theme, not sure if it is still there or not, I was in town for the solar eclipse a few years back and the pandemic wasn't kind to a lot of restaurants. I don't know exactly what they did, I don't remember there being obviously outstanding about that burger, but it hit different.
That said, I really like my own burgers. Coarse ground chuck or brisket, salt and pepper. Preheat a griddle on the grill on high, smash the burgers on there as flat as you can get them. If you're feeling frisky, spread some mustard on the patties and do them animal style. Throw a slice of cheese on towards the end of cooking to get it good and melts, there aren't many cases where I think American cheese is called for but I think burgers and American cheese are the perfect match, but the top 2 runners up for me are muenster and cheddar. Serve with mustard, ketchup, mayo, and pickles, maybe tomato and onion, sometimes bacon, or occasionally a fried egg.
It's not everyone's thing, but I'm also personally a fan of peanut butter, jelly, and bacon on my burgers.

I'm not sure if this technically qualifies as a 'burger', but I'd say..
Waffle House Texas Cheese Steak Melt, but with mushrooms instead of onions.
Calle Burger has this chickpea burger and I swear to god, it's better then anything meat based I had.
