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.“

“Stopped by while in town for a convention and enjoyed their awesome fair. Good service and even better food, they are worth the stop if you’re in town.“

“Honestly, this is mine and my families FAVORITE burger spot in PHX. There's this flavor of nostalgia that comes from taking a bite into this amazing burger! It helps that you decide on the toppings and sauce. But the flavor profile is nostalgic to my childhood. Classic, very well-made burger, followed by amazing seasoned fries. This location isn't anywhere near my home, but I'll take this spot of any chain burger. The spot is small and intimate. We usually eat there because we live far away, but many people walk in and out the door with their orders. Stop here! You won't be disappointed. *no pictures because we inhale it all and forget every time we go.“

“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 .“

“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.“

“Great tasting beer and good food!“

“Best hamburgers in town Delicious food“

“It is true! You can get a 1/4 burger and fries for $7 and change. Many options to choose from. Will try the onion rings next time. Possibly add some chili to my Cheeseburger! I don't like shakes, but according to my husband, the peanut butter shake is something to experience.

Parking: Only had difficulty parking because this place is so popular and crowded. Everyone wanting a good meal! But we found spot and ll ws good.“

“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“

“This location was awesome, the service was fast even as busy as they were, the customer service was excellent, everyone was very kind and bubbly and working so well all together. 10/10 the food as also gasssss, totally recommend this location“

“Great food! Great service!!!“

“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.“

“First stop for food when we flew into Phoenix on our way to Sedona. We had never tried In-N-out before, so we were excited. Fantastic burgers, fresh fries, friendly service. Inside was clean, but we chose to sit outside for some fresh air. Definitely recommend!“

“Always fresh burgers buns & fries“

“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!!!!“

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

“Hadn't been here in a while since no longer working nearby but decided to stop because always loved their Philly cheese steaks. Unfortunately they have suffered at least a 40% shrinkflation in size. They also weren't as tasty as they used to be either. This place has been here a long time and it's still the same owner So it's not like they were bought out or something.“

“I recently visited "The Palms Mediterranean Kitchen", and I must say, it’s the closest thing I've found to my experiences in Europe and the Middle East. Having lived in both regions for many years, I’ve sampled countless Mediterranean restaurants, but none have quite matched the authentic feel and flavors like this one.

From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the clean and well-organized dining area. Andres, our server, was exceptionally polite and knowledgeable, going out of his way to accommodate my tastes with thoughtful menu adjustments. His expertise made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

Chef Ali prepared everything to perfection, using the freshest vegetables and produce, which I greatly value. Each dish was a delightful reminder of the Mediterranean meals I cherished overseas. After our meal, we were treated to their family-recipe baklava, which provided a sweet, authentic finish to an already outstanding experience.

Though I haven’t frequented many Mediterranean restaurants that I'd return to, The Palms will become a regular stop for me. Its convenient location, less than half a mile away, makes it easy to visit again and explore more of their menu. I went with a friend who is very particular about his food, and even he is eager to bring his family back soon. This place is truly a hidden gem, and I can't recommend it enough!“

“Great little hole in the wall place to get burgers and Mexican food. Got the chorizo breakfast burrito and the tacos dorados. Both were very good. Burrito was a little small but only cost $8 so I think it was worth it. Food was a little slow to come out, especially since we were the only ones in there. Staff was nice. The decor is interesting as it seems like it was decorated by a 15 year old boy. Star Wars posters and comic book posters are hung everywhere with chess and checkers sets on the tables. All in all, we liked the restaurant and would recommend it to others.“

“Food here to REAL I couldn't finish my pancakes.....Pancakes to REAL....fake pancakes no problem.....fake pancakes you can eat and still be hungry... The bacon 🥓 I had came from a real 🐖 pig....I was hungry and still couldn't finish my plate“

“Second time here. If you want super attentive service, you won’t find it here. However once we got someone to come over, he was pretty cool. The burger and onion rings were bomb! Would def come back for the food. Get a specialty burger tho instead of a plain wine burger. They are WAYYYY better! My girl also really liked it and she’s pretty picky about food.“

“Ummmm I mean Yum! One of the best Black & Blue burgers I have ever had. My lady had the NewMexico Burger (with gluten free bun) and it was amazing. Oh and don't forget the shakes! I will be back.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free Bun (a decent one) for a $2 upcharge.

Kid-friendliness: Totally“

“We stopped at this restaurant late at night, and to our surprise it was busy. To me that is a good sign of how good the food is at this establishment. The hamburgers were excellent the fries were crispy unfortunately the onion rings were a little burnt. The tables were kind of dirty but the service made up for it.“

“Great burger! Great people!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Good beer, good service, friendly atmosphere.“

“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..“

“Kitschy owl-themed brunch cafe in the Camelback neighborhood in Phoenix, Arizona. While not vegan, it has its own vegan menu with favorites such as vegan pancakes, bacon lettuce tomato sandwiches, and a breakfast bowl made with plant-based “Just Eggs”. In addition to bacon, you can also get vegan chorizo and chicken as sides. Serves endless coffee and for a fee, you can go home with the owl-themed mug. In fact, most of the vintage owl decor in the store is for sale. The store started in Flagstaff and has now three locations, this being the first in Phoenix. It brought that northern Arizona charm into the Valley which you can see reflected in the friendly servers. This place is good for small groups with mixed dietary needs and is kid and accessible-friendly.“

“I love the decor and atmosphere of this place. love bar staff. drinks yummy. I. am overly embarrassed by aftermath Mac and cheese. it was tasty but not worth the hype nor pricing. I could make better. I recommend the aftermath burger. HH good but could use more variety of other things. The burger nicely prepared. This is my second time. I'm going back one more time. it will be for drinks. . HH Slightly over priced shouldn't cost one person $60.00 for HH. However, I love what they are trying to do.“

“I had a great experience at The Stand in Arcadia! The burger was really good—juicy and flavorful, though I felt it could have used just a touch more seasoning to really make it pop. The fresh-cut fries were crispy and had that perfect homemade vibe, which I loved. But the standout (pun intended) for me was the spicy milkshake—it was absolutely amazing! The mix of creamy sweetness with just the right kick of spice was something I’ll definitely come back for. Overall, a solid spot for a casual bite with a little flair. Highly recommend!“

“Todo delicioso Ami familia les encanta muy rico y saludable mis nietos felices ciempre lo prefieren“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!
😁👍“

“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.“

“Burgers are good drinks are better“

“A friend & I had lunch here today. The burgers were delicious & fresh. The french fries were devoured between the two of us. They just really hit the spot today.

I was kind of confused about why jalapeños are not on the menu as an add-on for a burger? I saw later that you had some on a pepper bar, but some of us don't want to have to touch them or have to pull apart a nicely made burger to add stuff, ya know? (Especially on a date, ya know?)

Thanks for the burger.“

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

“This is my husband and mines favorite place! It never disappoints, the food is always fresh and delicious and great quality! The huge selection of sodas is so fun!

Wheelchair accessibility: On one visit a man was in a wheel chair, I didn't see him struggle to get into the restaurant and the tables seemed a good height for him in his chair“

“Absolutely delicious food, unique and tasty and wait staff was awesome! We sat outside it was beautiful.“

“Wings don't get better than here. Try 'em extra-crispy.“

“First time getting a breakfast burrito from here. Was super good and the red salsa is legit.“

“I thought the food was great and the portion size was good. The food was fresh, and came out in a reasonable time considering how busy they were. The only thing that I did not agree with was that for a margarita was placed into a tumbler glass and was extremely small and that was the tall one the regular size one I was told was half that size I can't remember the exact price but I know that I was at least $15. Everywhere else you go you get a big old glass a margarita glass in some places you even get extra on the side to pour after you drink that one. And got up charge for Don Julio which is a inexpensive tequila. When it should have been already made with that to begin with, smh

Dietary restrictions: My wife was able to get a gluten-free bun for her burger here which is awesome because most places do not offer this option“

“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.“

“New fav spot :) I'm vegetarian and OG had a yummy cauliflower app and impossible burger. My friends were raving about the Bees Knees and Cocorita! Really cute, chill vibe inside and out. We'll definitely be back!“

“We had a fabulous brunch. This would also be a great restaurant for lunch. The food choices span from basic American breakfast food, to very interesting choices (like Mexican or Italian omelets). You can get burgers and other choices all day. Food was cooked to perfection, coffee was very good. Highly recommend for a good meal in a casual setting, great cooks.“

“Fast and delicious food. The best part Hatch Green Chile“

“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!“
