If you're looking for a great burger near Darien, local diners will steer you towards Burgers Shakes and Fries, a two-restaurant Connecticut chain that has been dominating the local burger rankings. Owner Kory Wollins has been in the restaurant and hospitality business for fifteen years, and his bright idea to open a high-quality burger joint has paid off. The burgers here are served on toasted white bread rolls, not the usual buns, and that extra oomph pays off. The first bite is savory, crunchy and delectable, and the roll holds up through the entire burger. The patties are hand-formed at the perfect thickness and cooked expertly. The choice of toppings is pretty good, with a fried egg and bacon a popular (if not exactly healthy) choice. Sides are also excellent, with the sweet potato tater tots winning raves.
