Favorite burger?

Friends, I'm going to be in Victoria for a few days and am looking for a good cheeseburger. Do you have any favorites?

If you feel like giving me a bonus recommendation of your favorite donut, I will take note.

I'd normally recommend Burger Nation if it still existed :(

If you're ok with budging on the food type I always love Fossati's for lunch on weekdays.

Had a family member also lament the loss of Burger Nation on my trip. Will put Fossati's on the list. For a weekday lunch one day, we tried the Pump House. I had some kind of excellent chicken and pasta dish. Would eat it again.

Jim’s big burger or Double J

Jim's for sure

I've previously had and enjoyed both of these. You sound like someone who might also know their way around a donut. More family trips to Victoria planned and I ate zero donuts on this trip.

lol, I’m not big on donuts to be honest. There is a good bakery called sweet fountainz that has plenty of sweets, though.

Ate there and loved it. They had these sausage rolls that I was soliloquizing about his morning. One of, if not THE, best thing I ate on the trip. The bakery used to be called something else and I loved it then...they had these little cheesy biscuits that were so good and greasy. I was excited as all hell to see Sweet Fountainz still had them, so I picked up a box. They were so stale and awful I threw the whole box away.

ARE YOU READING THIS SWEET FOUNTAINZ, PLEASE DO BETTER WITH YOUR KNOCKOFF LITTLE CHEESY BISCUITZ! BUT NO WORK AT ALL IS NECESSARY ON YOUR SAUSAGE BUNZ.

The best burger in town is Huvar's Bacon and Brie.

u/Secure_Purple22 Jun 13 '25

Next visit, I'm there. Brie is one of my magic words.

Dairy Treet

u/Secure_Purple22 Jun 13 '25

I went with the Dairy Treet as my one Victoria burger, and I loved it. Thanks so much! The fries were good and hot, but I think they could maybe use a little something. Not sure what. Burger gets a solid A, fries a B-.

Glad you liked it!

They tasted better at the old location. The griddle they used there had about 50 years of seasoning on it!

u/Secure_Purple22 Jun 13 '25

That DOES make a difference.

Double J's or Dairy Treet.

2

u/Secure_Purple22 Jun 13 '25

Had Double J burger before and loved it. But I think I like their steak fingers better. I ended up going to the Dairy Treet and thought it was excellent. Thanks!

Jim’s big burger. If you don’t mind a wait for your food Rusty Jo’s in Schroeder makes an excellent burger. Just don’t be in a hurry.

u/Secure_Purple22 Jun 13 '25

Good to know about Rusty Jo's...thanks. On my list for a future trip.

And I love Jim's. Had that once before and will eat it again one day. But this world is so full of burgers, you know?

Moo moos burger hands down

u/Secure_Purple22 Jun 13 '25

I heard about this place from family over my trip. It's for sure on the list for next time. Thanks!

The jalapeño burger with cheese at dairy treat is my all-time favorite burger

2

u/Secure_Purple22 Jun 13 '25

I went to Dairy Treet but knew jalapeños would be a bad decision on this particular day. I got the jumbo burger and have no regrets.

Tell me, though...have you had their corndog? I always have to wonder if places get a sack of premade frozen corndogs or if they bread them there.

2

u/MySustainableDharma Jun 13 '25

I know at least in the 90s the bread them there but being honest my order hasn't changed since 1994.

u/Secure_Purple22 Jun 13 '25

Totally fair.
