Denny's Beer Barrel Pub is perhaps best known for its massive burgers. Oh, some burger joints claim to have huge burgers, but not many can claim a 125-pound burger.
Yep, you read right. The burger joint's largest burger weighs in at 125 pounds of meat, must be ordered 72 hours in advance, and is an ideal option if you're feeding a group.
If 125 pounds is simply too much, how about the 50-pounder?

Denny's also hosts a burger eating challenge. Choose from the two-pound, the three-pound, or the six-pound challenge. Each must be completed in a tight timeframe.
Don't worry if a burger challenge just doesn't appeal to you. One bite of Denny's traditional burgers, most of which weigh about a half of a pound, will send your taste buds into a tizzy.
Browse through the more than two dozen burgers that feature such flavorful options as the French onion burger, the spicy bourbon burger, and the Tex-Mex burger.
