"Stanton’s City Bites in First Ward may be filled with walls of memorabilia, a diner-style stool counter, and other architectural items that say, “this building is old,” but the burgers are anything but. Each half-pound burger arrives in a pillowy soft and buttery bun and absolutely crammed to the gills with thematic toppings. Like the Miss Piggie Burger: a bacon and beef patty paired with a large hash brown and candied bacon. Or the Spicy Chipotle with a jalapeño-laced bun dripping in chipotle mayo. Even the original version satisfies any burger purist with its thick patty and patina of grill flavors. Go to Stanton’s for lunch, or for dinner, or simply to experience unencumbered and slightly nostalgic joy. " - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
