As of December, 2011, The Burger Joint is in many states<\/a>, including Virginia (including Alexandria, Arlington, Clarendon, and Springfield), and Shake Shack is in several states and also DC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They are both fast food chains but they are also both pretty good. I\u2019d say they are better than the median place on this list. TBJ even uses real dry-aged beef. Excellent fries in both places. They\u2019re both also more expensive than traditional fast food. I would eat in these places more if not for health considerations (carbs). All I can say is that if you are tempted, you have my blessing.<\/p>\n
