It's a sad commentary on the state of Atlanta burgerdom when so many people are raving that Hardees has the best burgers. Oh, the humanity! Luckily, though, we have the U.S. Cafe. No chain fare here, my friends. Just a great burger, consistently cooked and trimmed to perfection and served up in an ever-evolving environment that has tables and booths on one side of the eating area, and includes pool tables on the other side if that's your pleasure. There are two large screen t.v.'s and several smaller ones for anyone wanting to keep up with the world of sports while dining. The standard U.S. burger is a delicious, approximately 3 - 4 ounce patty. For those of you who think it ain't a burger if it ain't so big you can actually get it in your mouth, there's the U.S. Superburger, a larger version. For most people, though, the standard U.S. burger will do quite well. The standard, off the menu burgers are seasoned with a mix of spices that includes garlic. Personally, I like the burgers much better without the spices and always ask that they be left off, and left off the fries as well. Try the U.S. Cheeseburger (sans the seasoning salt). You won't be disappointed.
Pros: best burger in town served up in a local, non-chain, very American environment
Cons: deep six the seasoning salt from the burgers and fries for a better taste.
