When you walk into the Sweet Auburn Curb Market on Edgewood downtown, you may wonder what kind of place we’ve recommended you go for a great burger. To get to the hip, vividly clean 20-seat counter in the back, you’ll first pass through the historic market filled with hanging meats and exotic produce in a distinctly urban setting. We like that a visit to Grindhouse Killer Burgers is also a way of supporting an Atlanta landmark.

But while the market carries on behind you, the burger is what you came to eat. Start at the register and select your patty of beef, turkey or veggie. (The freshly ground Angus chuck and brisket is from a small Southern producer and delivered every day.) Next choose your style, sides and drink, then take a seat at the counter and watch a cult movie projected on the white tile wall as you wait. It’s a fairly straight up burger joint, but the attention to ingredients and the cooked to order process ranks this in with Atlanta’s best. They have several options for sides (sweet potato chips, onion rings) but we preferred the crinkle cut fries. The Apache style seems to be a regular favorite along with the milkshakes. Open 11 a.m.- 4 p.m. Mon-Sat. $4.99 for a single burger or $6.99 for a double.
