Springfield's best hamburger: a photo tour

St. Michael's Sports Bar & Grille: The 500 Club

St. Michael’s  is known for their gargantuan salads, but I found out they also make a pretty good burger. The waitress recommended the 500 Club burger, which comes standard with blue cheese. It was huge, messy and good. The bun was toasted, which should be a legal requirement. This burger had a nice smokiness that I didn't really find elsewhere. The patty was a little crumbly and not as juicy as some of the other restaurants'. Still, it’s a solid burger and a worthy contender for best burger. The service was great and all the old sports pictures on the wall made me wish I played on a Catholic school sports team when I was growing up. St. Michael’s  has four other burgers to choose from, so I'll definitely be back.
