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!“

“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“

“Best burgers I’ve had in Colorado! Huge portions, great prices, super fast pickup orders. I go here once a week at least. Will be trying their other menu selections soon.“

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

“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....“

“*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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Annie served us some of the best burgers we've had in some time. Girlfriend had a Classic Cheeseburger & I had the El Chilango. Both were absolutely wonderful! The Classic didn't disappoint & the El C was awesome with raw jalapeños. If you're a fan of Bleu cheese, try the Blue Cheese Kettle Chips. Truffle-Parmesan Fries are another must try.

Great meal. Will return.“

“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.“

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

“Classic hole-in-the-wall vibe. The menu had lots of tasty looking options and my only regret was I didn't have room to try several! Started with onion rings that are easily in my top 3 of all time. For the main course, I opted for the classic with a couple of add-ons. Superb. The wait staff was attentive and kept the water glass full. A return is guaranteed!“

“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!“

“I've driven by this place many times and decided to stop in today for lunch. We got a couple of cheesesteak sandwiches and some onion rings and all of it was great! Will definitely come back and check out the rest of the menu. Eat Here will soon become part of our neighborhood rotation!“

“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.“

“Mike has a great friendly presence, and the food items are very tasty. Service is quick and food is delicious. Kudos Mike keep up the good work!“

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

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

“I ordered delivery from them and was very pleased with how quickly it arrived. I had the chicken bacon ranch, which was delicious, as well as sweet potato fries. The fries were crinkle cut which was even better! I ordered BBQ sauce on the side and also received a mystery sauce, which I think was the special sauce--super tasty! Highly recommend if you just need a good burger! Updated from previous review on 2025-01-29“

“Fantastic place to watch a game, have a beer and eat, eat, and eat some more! The beer selection is good. The food is crazy good! French Onion soup, Mac-n-Cheese, and the French Dip is incredible combo. If you don't order the Burnt Ends Pork Ribs appetizer you are definitely missing out!!“

“Ordered the jalapeño burger which used to be called the colorado burger and we got a double and we split it, which was more than enough
It was so so so tasty. The spicing was perfect. It wasn’t too hot. This is my new fave for a burger versus five guys.

My complaints are it took forever to get the burger because they had so many online orders. They were taken care of those before they took care of people standing in front of them which I think is totally inappropriate.

Secondly, we paid four dollars for tots and four dollars for sweet potato fries
For four dollars we got about 10 tots. At $.40 a bite you would’ve hoped they would’ve been better but really that’s outrageous. Give me a pile of tots for four bucks.!!

And the sweet potato fries were cold and again, not plenty full for four dollars it had taken so long to get the food. We didn’t complain about the temperature.

The burger was so good. I plowed into it and forgot to take pictures.

Vegetarian options: Options for vegetarians there was beef, and chicken

Parking: We were lucky enough to hit it on a buy one get one burger night, so that was cool“

“Awesome evening here great crew“

“The staff here is some of the best. So incredibly friendly. Food is top notch vegan. Huge portions and just the right amount of sauce. Today I got a special of Thai Basil Chikn. It was honestly some of the best Thai basil I’ve ever had.“

“Don't judge a book by its cover.......Why you might ask???

Because you will miss out on great food and service by this place.

Food wise - 100% legit classic Mom & pop hole in the wall type goodie foodie joint.

Location/area - may not be for the faint of heart, however some of the best food and nicest people you will encounter.“

“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!!“

“Food vibes and service are always excellent. I wanted to leave a 5 start review after our most recent experience in October ‘24 because the staff was amazing. Our server Laura T was exceptional and we had several other staff members pop in to help wait on us. Laura even noticed my Arnold Palmer was running low and brought me another before I could even ask for one! This might be our best service experience ever in Denver.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheel chair accessible.“

“Update for 2025: I’ve been here a couple of times since my original review, and the food quality has been much better.
……………….
Pretty tasty burger; disappointing fries = meh.
Flaccid, undercooked - not what a fry aspires to. Sad.“
