50 Best Burger Restaurants in Phoenix

“One of the best smash burgers I’ve ever had - this thang is so smashed into oblivion i wasn’t sure it was still on our plane of existence. The OG Stoop Burger was personally my favorite. Hoping i get to try the breakfast sandwiches next time I’m in town.“

“It’s always a fun time, closing down the restaurant at 1:00 am! Great service. The employees played along with our antics, and the fries were fresh and salty and absolutely amazing! Will miss this place when we return to Michigan for the summer.“

“This was an amazing local food restaurant in the heart Phoenix. The restaurant felt like a blast from the past, with its classic charm. We decided to eat inside and had their 1/4 pound burger and cheese fries. It was good. Additionally, the views of the mountains outside their window was nice see while enjoying our meal. Whenever I’m back in town, their restaurant will remain on my list to revisit.“

“Best hamburgers in town Delicious food“

“Came in for lunch, busy as always but it had been a while since we had In-N-Out. Brandon AR, our cashier was welcoming & polite. We ordered our food to go and while we waited we noticed how happy the staff looked. They were smiling, coordinated, slinging orders, keeping up the pace. Food is always great but seeing a happy staff, that's not commonplace.“

“Great tasting beer and good food!“

“I live at least half an hour away from Lucky's, but regardless of the distance, it is worth the drive.

My discovery of Lucky's was when I was looking at some of the highest-rated burger places in the Phoenix area on Yelp. From the first visit, I can see why it has an excellent rating. It is among my favorite burger places and a contender for the best burger in Arizona.

On my first visit, I got a triple burger with fries and a milkshake. The milkshake contained butterscotch and Oreos. Butterscotch and Oreos are a combination that often gets overlooked. It is an impressive combination.

The burger and fries are among the best I have ever had. I like how much spice that is placed on the fries. Just the right amount and not overbearing. The burgers are a little on the thin side, but they are delicious and juicy. I also appreciate that they offer a variety of sauces to accompany the burgers. The house-made Thousand Island sauce is delicious, and it tastes much better than the kind you find in stores.

I also like the old-school atmosphere. With many pictures along the walls, it feels like you are in a classic diner, taking a trip back in time.

While the food and atmosphere are excellent, the best part is the service. The owner, Marvin, is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. Every time I have walked in, he has greeted me with a warm smile, asking how my day was going, and has been patient with me whenever I needed some time to figure out what I would like to have that day. You can tell that he cares about everyone in his business having a great experience.

For such great food, the prices are very reasonable.

Although I do not visit the area very often, I always stop by Lucky's Burgers and Shakes whenever I am in the area and recommend it to anyone seeking a great burger place in Phoenix.“

“Very good food I came from Indpls Indiana on vacation here in Arizona just so I can have in and out burger. I was raised on these burgers in and out in Los Angeles California. Thank you .“

“The food was hot, fresh, and tasted great with no issues with the order. Despite a long line, it moved quickly and I didn’t wait more than 10 minutes. The value is solid for the quality, especially compared to other fast food places. The only downside is that parking and the drive-thru setup at this location can be a bit tight and a little confusing.“

“I’ve been going in here for probably 40 years. It’s one of THE BEST Burgers Anywhere. When I want just an Old Fashioned Burger. This is the place to go! I usually get their “Great Big One”. Great service and Very Welcoming atmosphere. I have a Service Dog and they even make Him feel Very Welcome.“

“Always fresh burgers buns & fries“

“Can we just talk about how amazing Chicago Hamburger Co is? Good because they really are! Even if I wasn't from Chicago (which I am) I would still love this place. Everything is delicious, their burgers massive and taste stupid good, their fries are cooked just right, cut thick, but my heart belongs to their Chicago dog. Tasty classic. Whenever I can, I try to make time to pop in. It's so worth it not to mention easy on the wallet. Hands down a top favorite for when I'm craving something filling and delicious.“

“The staff was super friendly & patient and the burgers were amazing! Do not pass on the sweet potato tots. They were ah-mazing as well“

“Burgers are good drinks are better“

“it's delicious wish we had one in Indiana“

“Hands down, the best smash burger spot in Arizona! The burgers are juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked every time. The lively atmosphere, complete with great music, makes it an ideal place to kick back and enjoy a fantastic meal. Highly recommend for any burger lover!“

“Hot and fresh food! Best Shakes and Hamburgers in the universe!! Very awesome service!!!!“

“We recently had Aioli Gourmet Burgers cater our Open House event, and they absolutely exceeded our expectations! After reaching out to over 10 mobile food trucks, Aioli was not only the first to respond but also the most thorough and informative in their communication. From the very beginning, they made the planning process incredibly easy and stress-free, which was such a relief with all the chaos that comes with event planning. Their menu was accommodating and diverse, offering options that pleased every palate. The price point was ideal, providing fantastic value without compromising on quality. The team was communicative, thoughtful, and took care of all the details, allowing us to fully enjoy our event without any worries. Most importantly, our guests LOVED the food! We received countless compliments, and many asked if we could bring Aioli back for future events—safe to say, they were a hit! If you’re looking for a catering team that’s reliable, delicious, and a joy to work with, look no further than Aioli Gourmet Burgers. We’re thrilled to have found them and can’t wait to work with them again! Thank you to the entire Aioli team for making our event a huge success!“

“Gluten free buns and pizza. Great at Red Robin. And my favorite is the strawberry ice tea. Fabulous!!!!“

“We weren’t sure where to go near campus and were wary of the area. We couldn’t have been more pleased!! We were seated immediately and the service and food were absolutely amazing! Wide variety menu which was nice. The A/C was broken but we were brought a fan right to our table. Our server was so thoughtful and nice. The portion size was good and the flavor of everything was Great. Try the cheesecake, it’s made from scratch and is amazing. We will definitely return, we were treated as if we were guests in a home. It was so nice. And again, great food.“

“Cool spot didn't get a chance to really dive in most of the menu but the catfish was a solid taste. Give me a little more season may can get a 10 out of me.. but diffenitly a place to revisit.“

“Popped in here off the recommendation of a good friend that’s from Chicago. So many great choices to pick from but settled on a classic Chicago dog and the kids nuggets for my daughter. The link itself was cooked perfect with a snap to the skin still and the topping were fresh and delicious. The fries are lightly coated so they are crispy and perfect. All around awesome lunch date with my daughter! Great local spot!“

“Great burger! Great people!“

“Stopped by Harvey’s Wine Burgers and was really impressed with the food especially the burger, which was one of the best I’ve had in a while. The wait time was a bit long, but our server, Jazz, let us know upfront, which we appreciated. The atmosphere gives a whole in the wall but its better than that, and the crowd made it a fun place to be.

That said, our server's attitude could’ve been better. The place was full and could have had a moment of being overwhelmed , but it’s important not to let that spill over onto paying customers. Still, the quality of the food makes this spot a must-try. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Usually eat lunch there once or twice a week. Store is always clean? Restrooms are maintained, outside of store look great. Staff is very polite and friendly. ORDERS are always accurate. I believe the managers name is Susan. She. Seems in charge of things.“

“Always great service! I love the Atmosphere!“

“decent food at decent prices. fast fresh made. clean. everything I've tried has been awesomea hope to try the whole menu.“

“What a sparkling diamond! 💎 The owl theme with the vintage store atmosphere made me feel right at home. The swag lamps and chandeliers and delicious food make it a cozy cafe. It’s also child friendly with the decor and the owl selfie station. Highly recommend! It’s a definite must stop for the visitor to the area.“

“Awesome patio environment and atmosphere. The food and beer choices are also great.“

“Bought enough food to last all weekend! Absolutely huge portions, ever so tasty. Everything I try is so full of flavor! Just makes me drool and want more! Hahaha. One could get fat eating here! I only get here now and then... But it is well worth the visit when I'm in the neighborhood. Thank you for doing what you do and feeding us!“

“Thank you for being the best Greek food in Phoenix, I’m here now and have been a customer since 2012. Food is out of this world and service is so great. Thank you Nino for being so consistent with your place, I bring every new friend that moves or visits Phoenix to try out your place, cause I feel like I can show it off too.“

“The aftermath burger with all the sauces is to die for 🥵“

“Great food….Awesome waitresses….reasonable prices. And I think they make the best burgers and onion rings in the valley! I’m definitely going back!“

“The ribs are absolutely phenomenal. The meat smoking process makes the ribs tender, flavorful, and melt in your mouth. These are the best ribs in AZ hands down. Don’t even get me started on the fried chicken….. it’s fried in beef tallow, it’s crispy when you bite into the meat, and then you’re hit with the most moist texture. It’s like rotisserie chicken tender but fried. It’s giving KFC original recipe from back in the day. The BBQ sauce is lit, the beans are a hit, you get pickles with your meal, and the Mule drink is delicious. I’m coming back. This place is gem. Please visit. Support this local
Business. It’s worth it.“

“Never been to Phoenix area before and wanted to find a very local authentic restaurant. We found it....Cocina Madrigal was exactly what we were looking for...We actually sat at the bar since there was a short wait for a table. I was here with a college friend who lived out of the state also. We thoroughly enjoyed the food. We had the combination Taco/Burros/Tamales/Enchiladas...Our gracious bartend/waitress suggested the perfect way they should be prepared. All the employees were very friendly and make you feel incredibly welcomed. Highly recommend and we will return when we are traveling through Phoenix..“

“We are on vacation and this is one of the best places we’ve been. Heard it was a cool environment and it is! The grilled cheese? Super! The strawberry salad with CANDIED WALNUTS? Wow-so good. And we shared a cinnamon roll that was perfect (get it warmed up)! Fun and inviting. You should go!“

“10/10 recommend! Thank you so much for bringing our dream ideas to life. The burger wall was an absolute hit. We are forever grateful for your kindness and dedication to our special day.“

“By far the Best wings and service I’ve had since moving to AZ. Everyone that works there hustles their butts off! Refreshing to see.“

“I love this place everything is so good! Will always be a customer! Diana“

“great atmosphere and good food! menu and drinks are are hard to decide. burger and fries and Caesar salad and tortilla soup. 2 drinks for 41.00. Will definitely be back.“

“This Smashburger is always great for a quick bite, and a generally pleasant no-frills experience. There’s always plenty of available seating, and the restaurant is generally pretty clean.

The order accuracy is not always the best, so be sure to double check your food before you walk out.“

“Mike is absolutely amazing—so cool, fun, and attentive! We’ve been here multiple times, and he’s always our server, making every visit even better. The food is consistently fantastic, and the overall experience keeps us coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Jan 2025 UPDATE: The food has really gone down in quality.😕 I opened the bun on my Whataburger with cheese & the HAMBURGER PATTY WAS SO THIN, IT WAS BROKEN INTO 3 PIECES! You can't tell me that the cook didn't notice before he put it on the bun!🙄 This was always a go to but not anymore 🫤

Family owned, always open, good food, they always get the order correct!
😁👍“

All of the food I've had here has been great.

The customizable soft serve flavors and the option to make any soda a float is a huge plus! The soda shop next door has a ton of bottle options to choose from.“
