I'm sorry, but this CANNOT possibly be the best burger in Milwaukee. Otherwise Milwaukee needs a complete ground beef overhaul. I say again, I refuse to believe this is the best. In fact I think...

I've yet to find a better burger than the Sobelman burger. I eat there nearly every time I get to Milwaukee. Great atmosphere and Hacker Pschorr on tap, to boot. Order the cheeseballs.

Best burgers in Milwaukee, hands down. The meat is good, but the bun is ridiculously awesome. The service is exceptional for how busy it is. The best meal you can get in the city for less than $10.
