$100.00 for the Grand Burger at McGuire's Irish Pub in Pensacola. Actually only $25.00 for me as I was traveling with three others and we had already sampled their ale sampler several times.

Probably $17 or so at a "fancy" restaurant at an an airport (JFK or Atlanta Come to mind). Our local upscale restaurant actually has a really good 1/2 pounder of locally sourced beef that is very good for $10 with fries.Comment

Most outrageously expensive was recently at McDonald's in Auburn CA. It was $15.11 for two Big Macs and one fry, and it was awful! We gave up on McDonald's for good that day! 🤑Comment

Burger at the 21 Club in NYC. Its currently listed at $34 dollars, it was a while ago and I didn’t pay that much. Service and the food was far beyond anything I’ve ever experienced. Glad I did it once.Comment

My wife and I recently went to a Five Guys restaurant. My single bacon cheese burger was around $11. Not worth itComment

$120 USD. The DB Royale at DB Bistro Moderne in New York City. It was well worth it and there may have been some alcohol involved beforehand.

About $18 for a burger at Napa Valley Burger Company in Sausalito, CA. We biked over the Golden Gate Bridge, then ate that burger. It was really good!! But, now that I think of it, maybe it was all that biking?Comment

Capitol Grill Cheeseburger $20.00, but work paid for it. Personally probably $16-$17.Comment

We had a $19-$21 burger on the lunch & brunch menus of a restaurant I worked at. It was soo good- Custom Neimann ranch blend - 7oz
- house made bun
- drunk onions - caramelized onions cooked down in red wine, port and red wine vin
- truffle pecorino cheese
- house made bread and butter pickle chips
- roasted tomato aioli
Never had to pay for it, but it was worth the $$

There is a french restaurant around me called Stage Left. At one point they had a bar menu that had a 20 dollar burger that was a mix of ground chuck, brisket, and sirloin if i remember. Came with some ridiculous aged cheddar and anything else you had to ask specifically for...lettuce/tomatoes/onions etc. This was a solid 15 years ago and i was a college student so that was a major expenditure for me at the time which probably influenced how good i thought it was, but i remember it being amazing.Comment

I don't think I've every paid more than $12-15 for any burger, ever. And that was probably at a place like Chili's or Red Robin, when out with friends and family.Comment

I remember back in my business traveling days made one of several trips to Peter Luger's in Brooklyn. One of the times I went with a group for lunch I ordered their burger. It's nothing special, just 1/2 pound but done up right. I'm thinking it was like $20 with some sides.
When I lived in the Chicago area, there was a little old hole in the wall place up in Wauconda that had a burger that was literally the size of a dinner plate. They even had a special bun made that covered that same plate. I think is was like 2-3 pounds of meat, probably a dozen pieces of cheese and drug through the garden. It was intended to be a fun serving for like 4 people but they said if you could eat it yourself, it was free. Never saw anyone actually do it although many tried. My memory is a little vague (it was 30+ years ago) but I'm thinking it was about $35 back then so easily $50 or more in today's dollars.Comment
