Best of Metromix Indianapolis 2010Burger
Finding a good burger is pretty personal thing. The way it's cooked, the toppings, the quality of the meat, the bun -- a girl's head could spin for hours with all the options. Which is the best in the city?
And the winner is…
96th Street Steakburgers
4715 E. 96th St.
Indianapolis, IN 46240Neighborhood: North Indy
An upscale take on the All-American hamburger joint; tiled floors, vinyl upholstery, sizzling griddles. The star of the abbreviated menu is obviously the burgers and milkshakes.
Nominees
Scotty's Brewhouse
1 Virginia Ave.
Indianapolis, IN 46204Neighborhood: Downtown
Recent university grads may be familiar with Scotty's college-town locations. This upscale bar and grill living made family friendly and is located in Downtown's Jefferson Plaza just east of Monument Circle.
MacNiven's Restaurant and Bar
339 Massachusetts Ave.
Indianapolis, IN 46204Neighborhood: Downtown
There's nothing quite like MacNiven's angus burger. At least -- it's not what you're used to. This certified angus beef burger is marinated in Worcestershire sauce and black pepper and flattened into a giant, thin patty.
Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries
2902 W. 86th St.
Indianapolis, IN 46268Neighborhood: North Indy
The simple, lunch counter atmosphere keeps all the focus on the simple, lunch counter food. The menu is bare bones and the burgers are anything but fancy but everything they should be. Fresh, hot, delicious. Leave a comment on the bulletin board before you leave.
Mug-N-Bun Drive-In
5211 W. 10th St.
Speedway, IN 46224Neighborhood: Speedway
Drive-in fans have been turning on their lights for onion rings and tenderloin sandwiches at this institution for more than 50 years. The sweet, creamy root beer is still made in-house and served in frosty mugs; some customers buy it by the gallon.

No Boogie Burger? No Workingman's? No Hall's Castelton Grill? No Tip Top? And yet, there are two chains and a horrible third choice in Scotty's (o...
