Mickey-Lu-Bar-B-Q, 1710 Marinette Ave., in Marinette made USAToday's "Great American burger joints" feature today.
I haven't been there, but the description is appealing:
"For some customers, going to Mickey-Lu-Bar-B-Q in Marinette, Wis., is a four-generation rite of passage. The simple joint with neon lights and a charcoal-flame grill has satisfied burger lovers since 1942. Flipper-owner Chuck Finnessy still uses the original bun and meat recipes and stays loyal to local food vendors; countertop jukeboxes play three songs for a quarter."

No other Milwaukee or Wisconsin burger place made the list.
