15 Best Burger Restaurants in New Haven

“Very welcoming staff and amazing customer service.I stopped here during a road trip and honestly the burgers were better than many spots I’ve tried in New York. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was friendly and the cashier make us feel at home. Definitely worth the stop if you’re passing through — I’ll be coming back next time I’m in the area.“

“The best hamburger I've ever had in my life. 10/10. Try the potato salad too!“

“Overall, I really liked this restaurant and would return. The blueberry toastie was a fantastic flavor combination, highly recommended. The smash burger was on the greasy side for my liking, but appreciated the flavor on the tater tots and sauces.“

“Love it !! Unique experience“

“It's Sunday and every once in a while... more often than not, we brunch! Lol. We heard about the bottomless mimosa brunch here at Cast Iron Chef Chop House & Oyster Bar so we pulled up to check it out! Here's how it went... Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on the busy State Street is this gem. There's no private parking, but plenty of comfortable, spacious street parking right out front. Once inside you're immersed in a very fine-dining, elegant, laid-back atmosphere. Lots of woods, intimate-low lighting and upbeat music. I loved the vibes in here. The first room is your bar room where the rail is off to the left, but with plenty of seating to the right. If you continue through the room you enter the main dining room where it's all booths and other tables. Service: Stacey was our server. Things got off to a bit of a rocky start, but they smoothed out throughout the brunch. Food/Drinks: The mimosa was okay... It was REALLY strong because there's orange vodka and orange liqueur in it. It kinda killed the flavor for me because I'd prefer a traditional mimosa with minimal juice, but... no matter. They're bottomless... or supposed to be... Just be mindful of who your server is. Brunch can consist of a prix-fixed menu, which is what we did so we'll be going through that. First up were the Homemade Sausage Gravy and biscuits. These were super smothered and fantastic. Hot, savory, meaty, salty and even had a bit of a subtle sweetness. The biscuit was soft, butter and had crispy edges. Next up were the Cinnamon Rolls. These were HUGE. Lol. Like, how are we supposed to eat AND drink all of this stuff?! The exterior of the roll was crispy and the inside very soft. Not over-the-top sweetness or anything. These were very balanced. Next up were the Bananas Foster Pancakes. But this thing was enormous. It was so thick, like literally an inch thick. Lol. Fresh bananas sliced right on top, it cut like butter, was soft with the perfect crispy edges and these were AMAZING. Punch of sweetness up front, fluffy texture and just a great pancake. For dinner, this restaurant usually serves Cast Iron Popcorn instead of bread, so Stacey let us try it! It was smokey, a little-little sweet with a little bit of salt and maybe a hickory barbecue flavor. I liked it. Lastly, I chose the Steak & Eggs over Salmon & Eggs, but got to try both since my wife was with me. Each comes with gigantic fried potatoes, 3 eggs, a piece of toast, caramelized onions and your protein of choice. My steak was cooked perfectly (medium-rare). The flavors were excellent. It was a little fatty and just was done very well. Value: $64.96 for bottomless mimosas and the prix-fixe menu. Probably the best value brunch in the state. SO MUCH FOOD and strong drinks. I don't know what else you'd want! In conclusion, I really enjoyed myself here and have revisited since my first time! Everything was just as awesome as the first. Check this place out if you're in the area!“

“Best Location around, The Guys behind the counter, whose names escape me, are always considerate, friendly, accepting and hard working without complaint. The overall look of the restaurant could use small revamp but the Service and Friendly nature is perfect for someone like me who deals with anxiety/depression and certain social situations. Staff make me feel comfortable and accepted. Thank you thank you thank you.“

“Great Irish pub! Definitely a must if you’re in New Haven !“

“I loved the Nashville chicken sandwich, fries and passion fruit lemonade. Absolutely delicious!!!“

“Today was our first time in a Shake Shack Restaurant. Ordering was a quick process and our food was ready within a good 10 minutes or so? I ordered the Smoke Shack Double with French Fries and a 50/50 Lemonade/Iced Tea. My fiancé ordered a 6 piece of Chicken Bites….Hot, Juicy and Delicious. The Smoke Shake Double is my added to my personal list of “Favorite Burgers” 1. Five Guys Orange 2. Shake Shack New Haven 3. Prime 16 Orange 4. Prime Burger Ridgefield“

“Came to do trivia visiting from San Diego, CA. I gotta say what a good time! They have great food, greater drinks and impeccable service. Our server was Michelle and she was fantastic! We ordered the fish and chips and the turkey sub with fries. Both were delightful! We came in last place for trivia and got a consolation prize! ? Great times, good food, good people. Highly recommend for a casual night out for food and drinks!“

“I stopped by this location today because I have been seeing all the new Burger King commercials and was very curious. Before today, I hadn’t been to a BK in about 6 years and the last time was absolutely awful so I was a bit skeptical with the low google reviews. I ordered a bacon Whopper with bbq meal and a side of jalapeño poppers and I was pleasantly surprised! This may actually be the best whopper I have EVER had and they truly did make it my way. The burger tasted fresh and the veggies in it all looked nice. The jalapeño poppers were good. Will be back, 10/10!“

“Always fresh! And free peanuts🥜“

“When to this location for the first time to try the stake house whopper let me tell you this was the cleanest fast food restaurant I have been too in year the staff was so friendly they even offered my daughters crown which was so funny to me 🤣 the food was nice and hoy which is great for this cold weather will be definitely going back 👍“
