OK - TTK's post on another thread got me a little hungry and thinking about good old fashioned greasy fast food joints that really know how to cook a burger and some real fries. So I thought it would be good to hear where the best little diners are located and what the haute cuisine is there. The more Greasy Spoon / Hole in the Wall the better. The kind of food you crave after eating MRE's and beans for a week or two...
There are others that can certainly make the list but here's my top 5:
1. Brad's Food Hut (aka Slut Hut) - in Cedar City, Utah. The best of the best! My wife and son love the taquitos and I love the burgers! Two or three patties with ham, mayo, bacon,a little lettuce, ketchup - GOOD STUFF! Real made to order Cherry or Vanilla Coke or Pepsi - great shakes and fries.
2. Louie's Cafe - Pelican Lake, Utah - been out of business for at least 15 years but they had the best burgers in the whole Basin for sure! Greasy as greasy gets - great pork sausage burgers too. I used to to love going to work with my dad because if we ever had to go south of Ouray, we would always stop at Louie's.
3. Polar King - Vernal, Utah. - now out of business . The best homemade, hand sliced, french fries ever. Little bitty place on Main Street - no dine -in just a service window only. Lots and lots and lots of cheese on the cheeseburgers.
4. Quix - Belton, TX (on I-35). You can get a burger here, but the speciality is breakfast burritos. Chorizo and eggs, sausage and eggs, bacon and eggs - three kinds of hot sauce on fresh tortillas and Dr. Pepper on tap. A great way to end a eight hour AM UPS shift (3-11). Greasy greasy good mexican food.
5. Market Grill - Cedar City, UT. Freshest beef and pork in the world. In fact, on auction days, you may be able to pick out your burger while it is on the hoof that morning and order it for a late lunch that afternoon. Great breakfasts too - eggs cooked in butter, pork sausage patties, hash browns - mmmmm. Mouth-watering!

First time I ever was in Texas I drove through one and had no idea what to order. When I finally did and they asked if I wanted to "Whata-size" that. I almost laughed out loud.
