Becks Prime If you really want your burger your way — say, mooing on the inside, black on the outside — this is your place. Huge juicy beef patties — made with a half-pound of mesquite-grilled, ground chuck — as well as fresh toppings make this one of the best burgers in town. Thick fries and forget-the-diet milk shakes complete the experience. Pricey, yes, and don’t expect to drive through too quickly. The folks at Becks Prime may think they’re a fast-food place, but the meals are mouthwatering, and that takes a little time. Feel like being healthy? The grilled chicken sandwiches are great. And where else can you grab a steak or swordfish sandwich without getting out of your car?
