50 Best Burger Restaurants near Lakeside

“First time at a Carl's Junior. The staff was very pleasant & helpful. Burger was delicious! They even put it in a lettuce wrap since I'm gluten allergic. I just asked for no bun as I didn't want to be a problem. They went above & beyond to ask if they could use a lettuce wrap. That was really very nice of them. They even came to our table to check if we needed anything. How nice is that?!“

“With a vast menu with Indian and Mediterranean fusion dishes, it's quite delicious! If you like heat with your food, go Medium and Hot. We had Mango Lassi, Vegetable Samosas, and Chicken Tikka Masala Calzones. There are vegan and vegetarian options. Staff is very friendly. Baklava is also really great.“

“Best burger I've had in a long while. Customer service rocked it out of the park!! I would even walk across Denver for those fries. Thanks Hopdoddy!!“

“Huge juicy burger, hot well seasoned fries! While my food was delicious, the service was even better. My waitress Katie was AWESOME! She was attentive and anticipated my every need. Great 1st time experience!“

“*Food truck expanded into restaurant* I love a mom and pops spot where the menu is small, the food is amazing and the owners are there behind the counter chatting it up with the customers. This is exactly that type of place. There is ample parking which is rare on Broadway they actually have a parking lot/car park, they're just South of I25, so easy access. It's cozy, not too expensive, they have indoor/outdoor seating, stylish interior, great restroom.. you just really can't go wrong here. I was actually doing some energy work on the cats at the rescue around the corner and came here due to location, it was the closest thing with almost 5 stars and a decent amount of reviews, and WOW! I had coleslaw which was ridiculously amazing, potato salad which was definitely not your moms potato salad - its was bomb! and a Rockaway sandwich, and honestly if I lived closer I'd eat there on occasion, which is saying something. There are A LOT of "one and done" spots to eat, like - been there done that, this isn't one of them. This is more like, "I know an amazing place to eat" typa spot. No idea how they haven't already been on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, or the cover of Denver Westword - perhaps I'll see them there soon. Thanks for the great sandwich!! Cheers to your success. #bestofwestword #bigapplebodega #dinersdriveinsanddives #goodeats #newyorkvibes #bigapple #youhungry? #downtowndenver #denvermusteats #whenindenver #thingstodoindenver #goodsandwich #eastcoasteats #eastcoastvibes #foodtruckfood“

“The is place is insanely good. The smash burger style patties were crispy and delicious, loads of cheese and a nice buttery bun. We also got a strawberry cheesecake crepe and it was to die for! The staff was so nice too. Can’t recommend it enough!!

Vegetarian options: Wife loves the impossible burger here, and most of the crepes are vegetarian friendly“

“I'm always looking for a good burger and have been to many different places over the years. I decided to give Big Sky a try. I had the Big Sky burger and was not disappointed!!!!!! This may have been the best burger I have ever eaten. If you like cheese and bacon this burger is for you. Every bite the was a copious amount of both. I chose onion rings as my side and they had a very good flavor. My wife ate the shrimp ramen and had more than she could eat. This restaurant fills my burger and her Asian desires. We will be making this a regular stop. Do yourself a favor and give them a try“

“The waiter was fantastic!! We sat outside. There are heaters and TVs outside. The sweet potato fries melted in my mouth. Nachos had loads of chicken. Hubbies wings were cooked to perfection (he had them naked). We don't drink alcohol but the mixed drinks sounded incredible....“

“Delicious food! Loved this restaurant when I visited Denver and would definitely come again.“

“The burger was absolutely amazing! Juicy, flavorful, and big! The smash fries were addicting and perfect size. We’ve had many burgers in Colorado and this one was the best! The service was amazing as well. Great lunch with my family of 8.“

“Must try in downtown Denver!!“

“Extremely friendly staff, nice music, and open LATE. The lamb and saag are great, the dry chili tofu appetizer is hands down the best tofu dish I've had to date. Looking forward to exploring the burgers and Greco-Mediterranian parts of the menu in future visits. If you're there during bar hours, The mango chili cocktail is also great.“

“Drag Queen Brunch! So fun!“

“Everything was hot and fresh. Great service too.“

“very gooooooooooood“

“Bad daddy’s is my fav spot to come to when I’m thinking of burgers or salads! The small salad is an amazing portion and the bacon cheeseburger is to die for! Jalapeño bacon for the win, definitely recommend this place! 👍🏽“

“Seen a post on Facebook bout this place. Went for our wedding anniversary and it was very nice. Food and drinks were bomb food very fulfilling. Staff was great always checking on us. Definitely going back“

“The six inch double with cheese for $7.50 is simply the best value in Denver metro. And it is Delicious. Made to order with a hometown smile. The corn dog kids meal for $4.25 is a Dad favorite! Great to see it busy on a Sunday afternoon.“

“Our burgers were incredible! Onion rings and wings were soooo good too. Our server, Brandy, was THE BEST! Very friendly, checked on us just enough and made sure we were happy with everything! She had a smile the entire time and made our visit very pleasant!

Kid-friendliness: Yes! There were children there!

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp“

“So was not very busy when we came here. We were the only customers and we thought that Smashburger was closed and I guess he said that business has gone down within the last couple of weeks and I just want to say you guys have the best food best hamburgers. I hope and pray that you don't close. We absolutely love coming here.“

“The best burger! Juicy and so delicious. Fries and tots are wonderful. Honestly, you won’t be disappointed. So dang good!“

“Best food ever! Great staff. I would highly recommend this place. Love Danny Rays.“

“Go now! Request Laura Clark as your server. Sugar rub your steak, celebrate a loved one AND THANK ME LATER OMG😍“

“The burger was exceptional. Probably one of my top 5 of the best burgers I've had in my life... I got the Bleu Royale... It was amazing, cooked perfectly, flavorful and loaded with delicious blue cheese and bacon... as an added bonus it didn't fall apart when I started destroying it. So why the 4 stars? Well as good as the burger was, our server pretty much left us hanging the whole time. I ended up having to finish off my wife's drink after my drink went empty because our server went completely MIA... Then we ended up waiting forever to pay our bill. Had our server been a bit more attentive, this would have been 5 stars all the way.“

“Delicious as always! Nachos in Glendale were AMAZING tonight.“

“1st time here. Nice atmosphere for lunch. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Decent beer selection. Food came out quickly and hot. The burger and regular fries were delicious! I didn't see a cook temp option; I may have missed it.
The ONLY knock I have is RESOURCE THE BUNS. Two bites in and it disintegrated. I will return, for sure. A little on the pricey side, but I guess that's just where we are. Enjoyable experience.“

“Went to this restaurant at the Granger Hall and it is sooo good! The FMB burger is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, and it had a vegan option! They also have caramel empanadas which were delicious, we had to get seconds! Not only that but the employees were so nice! Defiantly would recommend!“

“The six inch double with cheese for $7.50 is simply the best value in Denver metro. And it is Delicious. Made to order with a hometown smile. The corn dog kids meal for $4.25 is a Dad favorite! Great to see it busy on a Sunday afternoon.“

“I had been craving a burger for the longest time then I found Smashburger, which is right down the road from me. I’ve passed by this location a couple of times and kept telling myself next time I come by here I have to eat here so I finally did. I stopped in today with my mother and enjoyed a very delicious burger and fries. Mother and I both got the classic Smashburger however, the only differences in our meal was that I had the flaming hot fries I believe is what they were called and she had the regular smash fries. When I took the first bite of the spicy fries, I thought to myself oh great another french fry that’s not spicy However, the more I ate these fries, the more the spice kicked in and they were so delicious. They were the perfect amount of spicy. The burger was fantastic. I got the double patty, classic smash burger. It was cooked to perfection. You could taste the grilling on it with Crispiness of the outside in the soft juiciness of the inside of the burger. Would recommend to anybody stopping by wanting a good burger.“

“A hole in the wall I wholly recommend you check out. The buffalo chicken sandwich was phenomenal, and I don’t even like buffalo. The western burger, spot on. Great fries. Guy running the place is always friendly and welcoming. Love this place!“

“Have only done takeout here, but it’s delicious every time, especially the chef special burgers. They have a mix of classic and unique toppings. Have to get my burger cooked well done because their “medium” is a little too undercooked. Fries taste good but softer than I prefer.“

“Super fun and different types of holes, super friendly and just an overall super fun experience“

“The friendliness of the staff was great, the genuine smiles were great, making us feel welcome. The pretzels were an unexpected treat given to enjoy as a snack while waiting for the food. I loved the fact that the burger didn’t leave us feeling stuffed and heavy, it was perfect!!! You won’t be disappointed at all and the owner is very delightful!! We will be stopping in again!!“

“My hamburger was really good! Thanks for the birthday coupon. Glad I gave you a try.“

“This smash burger location EXCEEDED EVERY EXPECTATION!! I was craving it since im traveling & it was a 10!

The dude Rocky super cool recommended me the new burger it was so good & hooked it up with some sauces made it super welcoming. I wish I lived around here to come more often but will definitely make it a priority when in the area! 🔥🔥🔥“

“Our waitress was the greatest! lettuce wraps burger was delicious. All in all a great dining experience Marissa good job girl“

“Louis helped me out today! He was great!
Properly fried chicken. It was weird having an unseperated bun, but it was delicious. Nice THICC cuts of avocado. Healthy amount of bacon.
Great fried pickles and properly tart lemonade. Very happy to work/live near a shake shack finally.“

“After our second night eating dinner here, the staff said “see you tomorrow!” as we started to depart. Great staff! I liked the spicy vegan burgers. My partner liked everything we ordered as well. The pride vegan shake was TOP NOTCH! It’s Peach passionfruit with sprinkles. Get the pride shake if you like fruity drinks. It’s only available in June! Updated from previous review on 2025-06-26“
