45 Best Burger Restaurants in Birmingham

“We went to Magnolia Point for the first time last night and are so glad we did. The food was delicious, service fast and attentive and the prices very reasonable. It’s a great place to take kids because it’s got lots of food they would like (fish tocos, hamburgers, etc) and not too fancy. There’s also a great outdoor patio that we cant wait to try. We’ll be back for sure!“

“We love this restaurant and had a phenomenal experience on 2 different occasions. Today they did a fantastic job for our son's birthday. The food was amazing and the staff is so friendly. The atmosphere is cozy and beautiful. We definitely will make this our place to escape from the average dining places.“

“The burgers and fries are always fresh and deliciously crafted. I order online and pick up for my husband's (and my) dinner an average of once a week. My husband never gets tired of it and would rather have a burger from Craft Burger than from any other restaurant in town!“

“Such a great burger & fries!! Go check them out you will not be disappointed! And the owners are cool!“

“We came to birmingham to children's south for a doctors visit and was looking for a place to eat . We pulled up our map to see food locations and found baha burgers . Hands down the best burger we have ever had . I had the baha burger and my wife had the baby burger both with onion rings . Please bring a baha to auburn AL , we definitely need a burger place like this and also best service also . Thank you for serving great burgers“

“We got seated sooner than expected. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Food came out fast and was terrific, very hot fresh and delicious. Great beer selection and it was tasty and cold.“

“Ah-mazinnnggggggg!!!!!! Very quick, very good, very nice man. It was pouring rain and we were waiting for a concert to start back up. I absolutely loved everything about this food truck. Makes me wish I was a local😔. We don't have burgers like that back in the 850 Florida area. I will be back....might just come back for a burger haha. Again...keep it up it was delicious!!!!! So..soo...sooooo good 😫❤️❤️“

“Great food & prices. Very friendly staff.“

“Great food and a great atmosphere along with speedy service-what more does anyone need??“

“Went to this restaurant on a Saturday the place was pretty busy but we were able to order and then sit at our table. The staff was very friendly and the service was great.we both ordered a k-dog which were excellent 👌🏾 and not normal menu items so we got lucky to catch them serving them today. The joyland burger deluxe was great as well, the patty was seasoned very well and had good flavor! I definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone if you like burgers! We will definitely be back!!!“

“They are a small business food truck that demonstrates nothing but exemplary customer service. My husband went by while they were in Helena for their to die for peach crumble. They were out of the dessert but they offered to make half a pan for us and said they will have it ready the next day at their next location at Shelby Baptist. I went by to pick it up and not only did they have it ready but they brought it out to me at my car. They are such nice people and I’m very happy at the customer service they display. Let’s support Battle Axe and I urge you to make it a point to go by and try all of their scrumptious food. Thank you Battle Axe.“

“Atmosphere was good, service was quick. Decent burger but nothing extraordinary.“

“great service!! Thanx to Amy fulvi for a great burger!!“

“The Homewood location is fantastic. Food was great, quick service, extremely clean and tidy! I had only ever been to Irondale, but we were in the area and decided to stop in for lunch. The customer service was top notch!“

“Big Dawgs Bessemer is celebrated for its bold, flavorful burgers like the Bully, crafted with fresh ingredients and grilled to perfection. The welcoming atmosphere and standout customer service make it a top choice for those seeking quality comfort food in a casual setting.“

“Food was delicious and service 10/10“

“Flew in from Houston and so glad I stopped here. Had the fried green tomato BLT with a cold PBR draft and it was amazing! If you’re in Birmingham you gotta give this place a try, 100 out of 100 ⭐️’s!!“

“Fresh, healthy, and served in a wonderfully clean atmosphere, it’s my go-to spot in town. I love knowing that every visit guarantees fresh, homemade food that’s both delicious and healthy. The service is always friendly and quick, with a keen attention to detail that sets Marky’s apart. Highly recommend the smash burgers, chicken rollup & spinach quesadilla and can’t leave without chicken salad & pimento cheese from the togo cooler which I snack on all week!“

“I come when I have free time away from the kidos. Great atmosphere Ethan’s hall pass drink is very good. He and Brooklyn make me feel like we’re old friends tho I just started coming there. Great staff, hot fresh taste to the food. Always a pleasure. Thanks guys!“

“We wanted a unique and local place. A hole in the wall if you will. The store front said this is it. When you walk in it doesn't look like a sit down restaurant, and there aren't many seats. Ms Dawson greets you from behind a wall and comes around to take your order. Plan to be patient as she cooks it fresh and is a solo operator. The burger was well worth the wait. Definitely give it a shot for lunch.. just don't be in a hurry.“

“The Philly cheesesteaks were amazing! Very nice people.“

“Had the pleasure of stopping by the Grille Shack today!!! When I say my 6 year old almost devoured 2 pork chops before we got home!!! I'm munching on what she left me and this delicious chef salad!! I'll definitely be back!!“

“I love coming to Slutty Vegan. I used to go to the ones in Atlanta (Ralph David and Edgewood), but I've moved to Alabama about 10 months ago. I loved when I realised that they had a shop here in Birmingham.

Their slutty fries is amazing with the spicy agave mustard or hunny mustard. 9/10

Can't go wrong with the fussy hussy if you're looking for the normal toppings that come on a burger. 8/10

When I get a burger from here, though, I like the one night stand because I like the v. bacon. 9/10

The boujee heaux is their fried cauliflower wings. I've only ever tried the 10pc garlic parm w. fries, but it's amazing. 9/10

I've had the banana pudding before. I don't get it anymore, but it's still delicious. I like my banana pudding a little more solidified, whether it is the breading/crumbles, or actual bananas. This does mimic a legitimate pudding though. 9/10

The hollywood hooker is a good v. philly. I don't normally eat philly cheesesteaks that often, so it's almost a bit much for me due to the amount of stuff in it, but I can still appreciate the flavour profiles, the necessary toppings to make it a philly, and the ability for Slutty Vegan to make a tasty version of the classic sandwich. 9/10

I've only had the project chik one time, and that was when it first came out. At that time, it was a limited time item. I didn't like this sandwich as much, but that's because it wasn't saucy. I think they've added ranch or mayo, but it wasn't enough, so you can simply get extra ranch/mayo. 6.5/10

The sweet potato pie is delicious. 10/10

The hooker fries are delicious. Arguably the best item on the menu for me. If there's any legitimate critique I have of Slutty Vegan, it's that the buns get soggy really quickly from the burger, so it can feel like eating the toppings and patty with a mushy bun sometimes. So, I mostly get the hooker fries when I visit because there is no bun to worry about, and it gives me the same toppings as the philly cheesesteak, except I don't have to worry about being overwhelmed with everything that's inside of the hoagie and trying to keep everything pieced together. The hooker fries IS the hollywood hooker, just with fries instead of a hoagie. It's pretty much loaded fries, but it has to be some of the best loaded fries I've had. 11/10

I do miss the big dawg though. I love bratwurst, so SV's spin on this was amazing. Add this back to the menu and I'd be back probably two to three times a week continuously.“

“I picked up my take out order. I told the staff I needed the strawberry shake. I was told a couple minutes later it was in the bag. I checked and I could see the top of the cup so I left. Got home and it was vanilla. My husband ordered the hot ones burger and there was a quarter size of sauce in the middle of the top bun. His burger was basically dry. My bacon burger was cooked too long, part of it was not edible because it was hard as a rock. This was my first time coming here and I don't plan on returning.“

“Absolutely a TREAT!!! We were in town for the GT Bowl game and a local had recommended this adorable place. FRIENDLY service, delicious food, with a FUN Saturday morning vibe - kid friendly for both the BIG kids and little kids! Coffee was hot and delicious and the donuts were SO good, we had to get some 'to go' for our ride bk to ATL..“

“This was our first time at J Wings….but it will NOT be our last! The next time we come through Birmingham, we will definitely stop by!We had lemon pepper wings, Philly cheesesteak, fried green tomatoes, cheese fries, and the pork chop plate. J Wings did not disappoint! Everything was fresh & seasoned perfectly. The sweet tea was good as well!Great food & great service! The owner was pretty cool too. ? Keep up the great work!“

“Not a huge fan of Milos. That being said the employees were nice and polite, cutting up and having a good time at work. They brought that to the atmosphere of the restaurant, definitely a plus.

Having employees that enjoy their work and work together well while taking care of the customer is a huge deal nowadays.

As far as the food goes it was Milo's, if you like it you do if you don't you don't.“

“Our family loves Five Guys! Do I like the price -- NO -- but I'm not going to give less stars over that. The employees are friendly, the service quick (for freshly made), and the food is seriously good. This is not something we get all the time but when we do it's a real treat!“

“Good quality service good service“

“Mariah went above and beyond to care of my wife and I. We were looking for a late night spot and found EXACTLY what we were looking for. The food was good and the beer was cold. She and Martrell made us feel right at home. (btw, they have impressive private parts!!)“

“new go-to fast food when in the area“

“What's to say...you either love it or hate it. I LOVE IT!!! I've been eating Milos for more years than I care to remember. Can anyone remember when they were 4 for $1. Love, love, love Burgers, fries & the tea!!! Mr. Carlton used to sell me Milo sauce in a 1/2 gallon milk jug for $2. I do miss seeing him flip those burgers.“

“I've been driving past this place for months and thought I needed to try it. Today was the day, Chili Cheese dogs for me and Slaw dogs for a co-worker. Fries and Tots too, both of out meals were good, friendly people behind the counter too. Looks like they have a good variety of other standards for this type of small restaurant. I/we'll be back soon. Thanks Guys.“

“The food is excellent and the staff is very pleasant.“

“Came in for a quick lunch with my husband before a movie! We really enjoyed our double bacon burgers. 🍔 if you are thinking about getting some fry’s just do it!“

“I enjoyed my burger there both times I visited. A hot, double patty with fresh, chilled fixings. Good tea as well. It's right around the corner from the North Pavillion of UAB.

I'd recommend ya stop in if you're around there. Spent $14 for the meal, and it was worth it.“

“I saw a review on here about someone had the special BBQ Brisket Steakburger and decided I would try it but never got to do it until today and was surprised they still had it going on. LOVED IT!! The BBQ sauce is sweet yet tangy but not overpowering like many BBQ places. The brisket on top of the double steakburgers were plenty and each strip was really meaty and not loaded with a lot of fat like other BBQ places. The pickles and sweet onions on top were a kicker also as they really added to the flavor with every bite. I am glad I had a big hungry appetite though because that burger was more than enough for a meal especially the healthy helping of shoe string fries!! Well done also to the staff for the prompt service from the moment I walked in with a welcome to Freddy's and the friendly smile of the cashier and the thank you from the cook when I picked up my order at the service counter!! Impressive for a fast food operation, but I will admit that having good employees to pass on the right attitude when working is important and this crew made the grade on that and more!! Thank you everyone!!“

“Bought a hot dog..it grew legs and arms and attacked me with great speed..it opened its mouth revealing 52,652 sharp teeth and took a bite out of me like I was the hot dog all other customers sat there and watched it happen… cops show up and try to pry it off me but nothing worked.. forever traumatized. Overall great experience!“

“Danita was amazing, very personable, and considerate although we were there in town for a family funeral she made us feel comforted with her presence....what a Joy she is! Thank you so much Danita and your Milo's staff that went above and beyond all with smiling faces! Couldn't have loved it more!! ❤️“

“Stumbled into this place and it was delicious. Two classics with fries, all very tasty. Cute little diner feel with Mario being very sweet with excellent customer service. Manager even came out and checked on everyone dining. This must be what it was like back in the day when customer service was always top priority and the food reasonably priced and authentically made to order.“

“Goat Popper was way too good (props to the kitchen), and we had the most charming bartender ever slingin’ the best drinks and maintaining a legit vibe all the while. I will definitely be coming back asap.“
