Regional takes on classic American cuisine are nothing new; take New York or Chicago-style pizza for example or, in this case, Wisconsin-style burgers. Not only will you find butter and cheese straight from Wisconsin, freshly ground beef, and scratch-made buns at Wisconsinburger, but also Midwestern staples like cheese curds and fried pickles. Check out their signature burger, the Spooner, topped with house-made bacon jam, or go back to basics with the Wisconsin. (The Inlander)

Durkins Liquor Bar is a local favorite that has a reputation for the best burger in Spokane but, it's not only a burger joint. Durkins is an upscale diner with an intimate basement bar. There's only one burger on the menu, their signature Durkins Famous Double. Made with two juicy beef patties, American cheese, and topped with dill mayo, red onion, and shaved pickles, this burger is a true classic. Locals rave about the perfectly cooked patties and the soft, toasted bun that holds it all together. The burger is also served with a side of crispy fries that are seasoned to perfection.
