Back in the day, a grindhouse was a theater that showed movies that were just on the border of acceptable to watch. Thankfully, Atlanta's two Grindhouse Killer Burgers locations, in Sweet Auburn Curb Market and on Piedmont Road, serve burgers that are more than worth the price of admission.

Like most burger joints these days, it's a build-your-own deal, with beef, turkey, or veggie burgers, with veggies and sauces thrown on for free. There's a $0.50 charge for cheese and regular toppings, and a $1.00 for premium toppings. For example, a bacon double cheeseburger will cost you around $7.50, and you can add fries and a drink for another $2.50. Yes, it's more than double what you'd pay at McDonald's or Burger King, but here they use fresh beef, ground fresh, and cooked to medium (unless you ask for something different).
