3rd place in Iron County was Hermie's 294 N Main St, Cedar City, UT

I ordered the Hermie Burger that has 3 patties and several buns. It was huge.

It was too much bun for me and I was told to just order without the middle buns next time. There were several recommendations for the Porky Burger and the Jalapeno Burger as well.

There is a lot of love for this hometown restaurant. We had recommendations for days, just for this stop. Next time I for sure have to try the Jalapeno Burger with Onion Rings for my husband and tots for me. I present the Hermie........Oh and the fries were delish.

We didn't get any meat on the fries but that is totally an option. The waffle fries stayed pretty crisp till the end! The house made pickles and arugula on the burger were great! All very good. Cheers to delicious food!

2nd place for Iron County is Pork Belly's Eatery and Catering Co. 565 S Main St, Cedar City, UT

As recommended I ordered the Mountain Burger and is was GINORMOUS.

attachment-20230224_192614

They didn't skimp on anything. It was loaded with all of the toppings, and came with a side. I ordered 'funeral potatoes' but sadly, they were not like any funeral potatoes I have ever had. No worries though, they had many options to choose from. We also got peach cobbler for dessert and we ate it too fast to take a pic. hahah

2nd place for Washington County is Morty's Café  702 E St George Blvd, St. George, UT

attachment-20230225_191447
attachment-20230225_191447

They have several options to choose from when you want a burger but I decided to just go with the basic Iconic Burger.

attachment-20230225_192323

I was getting pretty full at this point so I opted for no fries or sides, but I know they are delicious. I still haven't tried the scone fries though.

attachment-20230225_193932

I got this burger to-go. The thing about Morty's is you can totally taste the flame grilling on this burger. Plenty of sauce and melty cheese.

Just plan ole good, and worth the wait. The line is pretty much always there, but moves fast.

And in 1st Place for Iron County is Brick House Café  86 S Main St, Cedar City, UT

Out of the top recommendations we received, their burger was the juiciest, perfectly done, delicious burger in southern Utah hands down.

attachment-20230224_133429
attachment-20230224_133429

All of their burgers start with 1/3 pound fresh ground Black Angus chuck and sirloin. I opted for the Jalapeno Business Burger. OH MY GOSH is was divine.  I did get the jalapeno jam and the cream cheese jalapeno spread on the side to add on myself but I could have ordered as is. It was so good.

attachment-20230224_135815
attachment-20230224_135815

It comes with steak fries and fry sauce or ranch to dip in. Although not my first pick of fries, they were done perfectly.

The whole meal was amazing and they even split the meal for us when we said we were gonna share. Gourmet Burger at a place that didn't even flinch when we said we were sharing. Just remember to leave a great tip.

 I saw this wall too late but I am going to leave room for dessert next time.

And in 1st Place for Washington County is triple TJ's Café 1141 State St, Hurricane, UT

We were running to make it to this restaurant and we called ahead to see if it was OK to come so close to closing time. They told us, no worries and that they would, 'take care of us.' ♥ And they did. It was a great dining experience.

This is a homey little restaurant tucked into the corner of a strip mall.  As suggested I tried the Reuben Burger and it did not disappoint.

attachment-20230225_201515

Good heavens this was a lot of delicious burger as well. It was juicy and done to perfection. You could taste all of the ingredients and it was a great combo. The service was impeccable. Thank you for serving us a little too late.♥

Oh and the fries were great and I ordered a raspberry lemonade and it was refillable!!!! Another WIN!
