True burger lovers will tell you that fresh beef, well-seasoned and cooked in a manner that keeps it juicy, is what makes a better burger. Here are some of Atlanta's newest burger joints dedicated to doin' it right.

YEAH! BURGER: Shaun Doty's burger chain offers customers a lot of variety, including those who are on gluten-free diets. Seen here is the Veggie Burger with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions on Southern white bread and served with a side of onion rings.

FARM BURGER: Located in Decatur, this boutique burger joint offers wildly creative combinations, such as this Number 6 burger, featuring house-cured bacon, sunny side up egg, pepper jack cheese and salsa verde.

FLIP BURGER BOUTIQUE: By now, you've heard that 'Top Chef' Richard Blais' latest venture fits between two buns. The meat is beef, house-ground of short ribs, hangar steak and brisket. The mix makes them fattier and juicier than a burger made with leaner meat. Expect a goofy and fun twist on the familiar.

THE COUNTER: A contemporary rendition of the classic California burger joint. A one-third-pound "Old School" burger ordered medium rare is juicy and perfectly seasoned, with gooey Tillamook cheddar and a fragrantly bready bakery bun.

CHEESEBURGER BOBBY'S: A nostalgic trip for Atlanta brothers Richard and Bobby Stoll, offering hand-pattied burgers. The Bobby Sr. burger ordered with cheddar cheese is cooked well-done, with double beef patties, juicy and well-seasoned, and a nicely griddled bun.

FIVE GUYS: Another well-done-only place, but here the griddled double beef patties stacked together create some sort of juicy synergy. Enjoy excellent hand-cut fries and have some peanuts to snack on while you wait.

CANYONS BURGER CO.: Atlanta-based chain features fresh, never-frozen Angus beef burgers meant to evoke "an active lifestyle." Good toppings and a fluffy bakery bun go beyond fast food, but don't elevate this joint into the upper-echelon.

EVOS: Natural hormone-free beef and no oil or fryers mean healthier burgers and fries. The burger has the consistency and flavor of meatloaf and is served on a thin, chewy cibatta-style bun. It's a nice sentiment, but doesn't give you a true burger experience.
