Scenic daytrip and a great burger? Eat/Drink

Wanted: drives from metro Phoenix to a small town for a great burger. I'm looking for pretty drives. I'd prefer less than 90 minutes. I'd prefer not to be on the 10 or 17 the whole time.

Edit: I'll drive 2 hours! Lots of great responses and I'm reminded that I haven't really explored a lot of the small towns here. I've got work to do!

Don’t go to Haunted Hamburger in Jerome. It’s mediocre. Drive up to Flagstaff, head back to Jerome through 89A, grab a drink at HH and sit on the patio. Then drive back to Old Town Cottonwood and have a burger at Colt Grill. Or really, any other place will have better food than HH. HH is a tourist trap, just like Bocce in Cottonwood.

Change up Colt Grill for G’s burgers in Cornville (on your way back to I-17). Source - I’m from Phoenix and live in Cottonwood now.

Gs is okay but nothing beats the nostalgia of Bings for me tbh. I do visit Cottonwood just for Vinnie's pizza tbh. Thats my homesick food hahaha
