I visited Cave and Ives on my hunt for the best burger in Phoenix.  It came in 1st place among 16 other restaurant burgers. Here's my review.\n\nWhen I tried the \"Cave and Ives\" Burger, at Cave and Ives Portico Grill, I had a moment of astonished surprise. How was this secret kept from the world?! I had been to Cave and Ives before, and enjoyed some tasty food and delicious beer, but this is a perfect burger. The pretzel bun is flavorful, but still soft and not too aggressively \"pretzel-ed\" that it steals the show. The patty is remarkably juicy, and has a terrific grilled flavor, enhanced by the smoky chipotle aioli. The saut\u00e9ed onions melt and give a nice sweet finish. The lettuce and tomato add crunch and freshness. I can't find any faults in this burger! When I think of what a good restaurant burger should be, this is what I think of, which is why it's my number one burger. Seriously, go and give it a try! I recommend pepper jack for your cheese selection.\n\nTo see the rest of the burger reviews and photos, check out http://forkvsfood.com/best-burger-review/
