BEST BURGER/ NACHOS/HAPPY HOUR

McGraff’s American Grill

1602 E. Eisenhower Blvd., 669 8847

Lovelanders have long taken their burgers and nachos seriously, which is good, because so does McGraff’s American Grill in Loveland. Try the half-pound McGraff’s Burger and the Lean & Mean Buffalo Burger. Or do like Bill Cairo of Loveland (above with the trophy), who recently ate his 500th Portobello Burger. Or go with the Nachos Grande, Loveland’s favorite for cheesy chips. It comes with black beans, scallions, tomatoes, jalapenos and beef or chicken. And once again, McGraff’s American Grill has taken the honors for best happy hour. The blue-roofed establishment has won over Lovelanders with happy hour deals on well drafts, wine and appetizers.
