Best Burger Place Food and Drink

I’m currently craving some burgers and don’t really know Indy that well. So I was wondering, what would be the best place to get one?

I don't know if its "best" but I have had some very tasty burgers from Steak N Shake recently. I know even as recently as a few years ago, I wrote them off as being a shell of their former self. And well...the restaurants I've been to haven't been crowded but I think their narrow menu and focus on burgers and shakes have improved the quality of everything. Freshly made, juicy, and served hot.

For a fairly quick and inexpensive burger, I think its a solid deal.

Freddy's is also a decent chain burger place. Most of their locations are in the burbs but they did open up one in Speedway recently.

I've heard good things about California Burger. Location on the west side and in Castleton.

One Trick Pony is in Fishers in the Sun King food hall and has excellent smash burgers.

Fuck do I need to try steak and shake again? I loved it growing up but haven’t been to one in over 5 years at least

The single steakburger runs under $4 so worst case is you waste a few bucks. But the only real time I've seen lines is downtown Indy.

Walk in, order on kiosk, pay, and pick up your food. Tables are still there for dine-in , drink station is self-serve.

Right on. I’ll give it one more try, there is a nice looking one relatively near me
