The same website that told us that the best pizza in South Dakota was at Monk's House of Ale Repute has now put together a list of the best burgers in every state.

Thrillist spent the last three months searching for the best burger in each state.

If you want their top pick for South Dakota, you better make a weekend out of it, because the best burger in South Dakota can be found at Lewie's Burgers & Brews in Lead.

They chose the bacon cheeseburger and here's why:

If you closed your eyes and thought of a South Dakota restaurant/bar, you’d see Lewie’s. Located just outside the small town of Lead (pronounced like “leed,” not the Zeppelin), the parking lot will be full of bikes or snowmobiles, depending on the time of year. The interior has a chandelier made of antlers and serves Mason jars of beer and has a huge patio overlooking the Black Hills forests. Most importantly, they make one of the best damned burgers in cattle country, hand-patted into oblong 1/2lb patties served slightly pink on open-faced buns starting at a scant $5.50. There aren’t a lot of frills here. Just a damn fine burger. It’s always a good omen when you walk into a burger joint and see it populated with ranchers, after all.

I've never had a Lewie's burger, so I can't disagree that it's the best, but I do know that in Sioux Falls and the surrounding area you can find some amazing burgers that would probably rival a Lewie's bacon cheeseburger.

Let's give them some ideas for the next time they come to the Mount Rushmore state.  Where in South Dakota have you eaten the "best burger?"
