Here are the four burgers that made the Thrillist list of the top 100 burgers in America (in descending order):

No. 75: Ann’s Snack Bar,The Ghetto Burger
Alexander said Ann’s double cheese burger topped with chili is “one of America’s legendary burgers.” Ann’s Snack Bar is located at 1615 Memorial Drive SE, Atlanta.
No. 55: One Eared Stag, The Meatstick
This bacon burger offers up “a saltiness that could seem overwhelming, if not for the great balance provided by the bread & butter pickles, secret sauce,” Alexander opined. One Eared Stag is located 1029 Edgewood Ave. NE, Atlanta.
No. 13 Fred’s Meat and Bread, Burger Stack
For Alexander, there are many Atlanta burgers that finesse the burger stack, thin patty double burgers, but Fred’s is the “Deion Sanders of the burger world” when it comes to the burger stack (and their specialty isn’t even burgers). Fred’s is located in Krog Street Market, 99 Krog St. Atlanta.
