11 Best Burger Restaurants in Homewood

“10/10 would ghost my fries again.
This burger was that good. I fully ignored my fries just to finish the burger first — no regrets. Made-to-order, hot, fresh, and absolutely worth the wait. If you’re a burger lover, this place understands the assignment. Cute set up and a super friendly staff.
Must give them a try!“

“The gentleman working the register was outstanding! After over forty years in food service I think he was one of the best employees I can remember. Very customer oriented, great representative of the company he works for. Good excellent. He even made it better with his positive attitude. He is a keeper!“

“This past Saturday, I treated myself to a me date a day dedicated entirely to myself. After indulging in a relaxing one-hour massage, I found myself absolutely starving. Wanting to try something new, I continued my exploration of Homewood’s restaurant scene and landed on The Battery. I met my aunt there for lunch, and as soon as we arrived, I knew we were in for a treat. The place was packed inside and out which is usually a great sign. After about a 15 minute wait, we were seated. The interior had a modern, inviting atmosphere, and the service was excellent. Our waiter was incredibly kind, answered all of my questions, and I never once had to ask for a refill. Despite the restaurant being full, the service was impressively quick, and every dish arrived hot. Appetizers Buffalo Wings – The wings were well-sauced and smoked to perfection, with the meat falling off the bone effortlessly. However, the biggest letdown was the lack of seasoning. While the smoky flavor was great, the wings themselves needed more depth. 7.9/10 (With proper seasoning, this would easily be in the high 8s or even a 9). Queso & Chips – The chips were fresh, crunchy, and unseasoned but still did the job. The queso had potential, but it lacked the bold flavors needed to truly stand out. It wasn’t bad, but it could have been much better. 6/10 Entrées & Sides Wedge Salad – The salad itself was solid, but the bacon was a miss. It had an overpowering liquid smoke taste, leaving a strange aftertaste and smell. 7/10 Fries – These were outstanding hot, crispy, and well-seasoned. I also appreciated the variety of cuts and shapes. 8.5/10 Smash Burger – A well-executed smash burger with that signature crispy edge and juicy interior. However, the meat itself wasn’t seasoned, which held it back from being exceptional. 8/10 Final Thoughts Overall, The Battery was a great experience, and I’d happily return. The biggest downside was the lack of seasoning across multiple dishes. If they improved that, their food would easily score even higher. That said, I still highly recommend trying this place. Final Rating: 8/10 Service: 10/10 – Absolutely fantastic staff! Would I go back? Without a doubt.“

“Had a great meal: I had the three-hander and my friend and I split an order of half fries half onion petals. This was the way to go as both the fries and onion petals are great. The burger was also excellent. It does go to a bit loud in there, the acoustics seem a bit off, but other than that we really enjoyed the atmosphere. The bar tender that we had was super friendly and also great with suggestions from the menu. We will definitely visit again.“

“The burger was delicious. Incredibly good. However, it took 50 minutes to get it. Once we got it, the fries were lukewarm, as if they'd been sitting there. Hubby was told they tend to get slammed on Monday's due to lack of staff. And Homewood schools were having a jazz concert. So try on a day other than Monday. And maybe specify fresh fries. But, do try it. Patty's are handmade. Fresh beef. Nice large burger. Prices a little steep. Cheeseburger was $10,99 and basket of fries $4.50. I did not get the sauce that comes on the burger. I def recommend. And the venue is hard. There is an app to pre-order was not available on Monday night.“

“First time to try this place. I can't believe the wide array of food they serve. It comes to you hot, fresh and delicious!!! I had gotten a Groupon that I'm very thankful for!!! We spent less money here than we would at Taco Bell or McDonald's! If I lived over by it, I would literally eat here every day!!! I got fried catfish, the Cajun ranch fries and a small chicken salad. Good Lord I've NEVER had a salad THAT good before!!! And I'm 54 yo!! It has a ton of stuff in it!!! My husband got the same Cajun fried and a gyro that was amazing as well!!! I completely forgot to take pictures. But trust me, it's worth it! I can't believe they weren't more busy at 5 pm on a Saturday. We were the only ones dining in. But a few people came in for to go orders.“

“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!“

“Myself and 3 of my family members visited the Homewood IHOP, off Lakeshore on 12/5/2025. Shay was a great host and server. She was very pleasant, gracious, and attentive. My food was pretty good. The Cinnamon Crepes was great 🤩; the eggs were prepared, per my request (cheese was $1.69 extra 🤬; the breakfast meat and hash browns were okay, but I was expecting a better quality of bacon (so thin). One of the guest order a T-bone steak. The steak did not look good to me when it arrived, and the guest said that the taste wasn't much better. The drinks were too high, but that issue is the same at most restaurants. I would return, and reorder what I had again.... Make sure you tip your server, especially if he or she have provided good service. (Ask about the $6.00 menu 😉).“

“Absolutely delicious. Everything from the service to the food was great. Definitely will be going back.“

“Food was good, service was great and I must say they work hard here“

“Nakayla was amazing. Very polite, super efficient, she made sure all of my extra request were met and made sure to repeat each one back. I visited close to closing time and she did not make me feel like a nuisance like most places would at that time.“
