OPIE TAYLOR'S

Three years running, Opie Taylor's is crowned with best burger honors. \n"It is fantastically awesome." That's the final word from Bill Nicol on the three-peat performance for best burger. A frequent patron of Opie Taylor's and legging out a victory lap at IU, Bill is no stranger to the tastes harbored within the best burger joint in Bloomington. Located on the east side of the square downtown, Opie Taylor's offers a cozy setting to boot, fully equipped with old local photos and "Andy Griffith Show" memorabilia.\nThe poll this year also indicates that people's palates are drifting toward local eateries rather than settling on fast food chains to satisfy their grumbling tummies. Eight of the top 10 finalists were local establishments that all prepare scrumptious burgers at reasonable prices. Scotty's, Yogi's and the now three time champ of beef and bun preparation, Opie Taylor's, offer up some good eats with the finest local seasonings. Enjoy.
