"The burgers at Trophies, a casual counter-service spot on Fairfax, fall into the “fast food-style, but way better than fast food” category. They come with thin, juicy patties topped with American cheese, plus classic toppings like diced onions and pickles. The menu is small, with just three different burgers, the best being the Spicy BBQ Bacon, which comes with spicy barbecue sauce, chilies, grilled onions, and bacon. If you like your burgers equal parts salty and spicy, make this burger an immediate priority. If you’re a student, be sure to head over on weekdays to take advantage of the “After School Special,” which gets you a classic burger, fries, and a drink for $12." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren, garrett snyder
