50 Best Burger Restaurants in Indianapolis

“BEST burgers in Indy, even better people working there! I’ve never had a bad experience or bad food. Always consistent. Always welcoming. Always delicious. 100 plus years making the best smash burgers!“

“I went to their Riley Day’s event truck to try a burger and OMG. When I tell you it’s the best burger in Greenfield it’s just simply that, the best. They were packed with orders and still managed to get everything out in a timely and friendly manner. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.“

“My Lamb Burger was good! Nice indoor seating and very clean. The Beginning Burger & Nashville Hot Chicken, onion rings and fries all good! Friendly staff. We even received complimentary Birthday Desserts. Great Place Downtown! Will be back🥳💜“

“Our first time eating here. Sat outside with the pups. Service was AMAZING! The burger was one of the best I’ve had in a long time! And the sweet potato fries were to die for! Highly recommend!“

“Good burgers, great fries! I love their Ranch which is always a plus for me. Excellent server in a calm chill environment. Come check it out!“

“while people seem to be review bombing over support in the Isreal v Palestine conflict which seems to be the hottest button in the world right now, my review is about the food, service, staff and atmosphere. The service is top notch, drinks on the tables in less than a minute and food out in less than 10 minutes, mind you we sat at a bar table that the bartenders take care of on top of serving the entire bar rail, they still got drinks out lighting fast and checked on us several times. the burgers were HUGE and delicious, and the fries were perfect. The selection of beers on tap were great and uncommon to find at other bars. the atmosphere was great, loved the music and it was just loud enough to vibe to while still being able to have an audible conversation. The staff was very accommodating and the hostess had a table cleaned off for us immediately, she and the bar staff were great! They have an open kitchen and it looks like the cooks enjoy what they do and have fun with it, which is nice to see and not very common. We will definitely be back next time we're in town.“

“Excellent experience! Recommended for atmosphere and sophisticated design in a very approachable setting for all types of casual business engagements!“

“yummy burgers, great beer selection, great staff!“

“We just ate there for the first time today. The guy who greeted us, I think his name was Cooper, was fantastic! He was very friendly and helpful during our entire visit. The food was delicious and we will definitely be back! Bonus points that parking is free on Sundays!“

“Stopped by Chicago Beef And Dog Company last weekend while strolling through Irvington. I got the Italian beef loaded with peppers and my partner tried their classic dog. Both were fantastic — juicy, well-seasoned, and honestly better than anything else we’ve found around Indy. The folks at the counter were super friendly too, made us feel right at home. We’ll definitely be back to try their burgers next.“

“My family was driving through yesterday and wanted to check out something local to try out. This place exceeded our expectations. We walked in, immediately greeted, and the server gave a rundown of the menu being our first time. The food came our pretty quick and the food was incredible. The server brought out shake samples for us to decide which we wanted. All tasted great as well. Overall, terrific experience! We will definitely be back next time in town!“

“Ilove the food and the coworkers are verry nice and etc!!:)“

“Food was delicious! Love the Big Dan Burger!!“

“If you’re visiting Downtown Indianapolis, Shake Shack is a must-try! The burgers are juicy, and the fries are crispy—perfect after a day of exploring. The atmosphere is lively, and the staff is friendly, making it a great spot to relax. Overall, delicious food in a fun setting.“

“Absolutely Amazing! Located inside holiday. The staff, the food, atmosphere, it became super busy and the staff from the hotel swung in to help, so food came out promptly! It was hot delicious, just like you menu described, and dare to admit I almost ordered a second burger when I was done just because. Out side seating was very nice, weather was great. Restaurant itself was clean and tidy! Thoroughly enjoyed!“

“Door dashed these and as someone who has lived in a Puerto Rican/Dominican home, this is the closest to Nana's pastellios in Indy I car get. These were so fresh, still hot, sweet, savory, beautifully branded (how DID you DO that?!?), and made me do a Homer Simpson. guttural drool as I ate the guava queso version last. The side sauce was a pleasant surprise and | HIGHLY recommend trying this place if you love Latin food. Well worth the sample box price. We had Breakfast Sausage (not spicy), Ham & Cheese, in addition to the Guava & Cheese. * chef kiss *“

“We found a new great restaurant! Great service. Friendly people. Wonderful food. Fried green tomatoes were to die for!“

“The place to go to when we want a homestyle breakfast! Always great service and fast!“

“We sat at the bar for a Saturday noon reservation and had great service from Ryan. Drinks are pricey but good, and love the lunch Parlay option which offers 4 items for $25 that can include shrimp cocktail, soup or salad, filet sliders or salmon, and fries or homemade chips. It's a good value and excellent food. We celebrated a birthday too and shared a free dessert. Highly recommend!!“

“Its refreshing to come to Barringers Tavern. The service from Marcus is what I appreciate most. He is always welcoming, funny and considerate. That is the main reason I visit Barringers with my friends regularly.“

“service - 10/10 Food - 13/10“

“My first time eating at Steak 'n Shake in years && my first time coming to this particular location . I don't know why I ever stopped eating here (probably because they closed the 2 locations on my side of town) . The food was AMAZING !!! Definitely one of the best fast food joints in the city && definitely top 3 burger fast food spots (emphasis on the fast) . After years of eating McDonald's & Burger King...going to Steak 'n Shake reminded me just how mediocre and lackluster a bunch of fast food places are . The service was A1 and everything was made fresh . 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend !!!“

“The staff here was super attentive. The food was good, but not really a wow factor. The restaurant was clean and the hostess kept up with the dirty tables expeditiously, promptly, and efficiently.

… BUT BABY! Phyllis! This lady was bartending and took the best care of us in the dining room. The server they sat us with was overwhelmed and Phyllis gave us excellent service. Y’all come see her and get you a piece of this salad bar!“

“Great food. Enjoyed the cucumbers.“

“Love this place! Food is always delicious and service is on point. The manager is so nice and accommodating because we usually have large groups. Highly recommend!!“

“One of the best individual fast food restaurants I’ve ever been to. Their drive through is fast, accurate, & the food that comes out of it is well made & handed to you by polite employees. I’ve also biked to it & gone inside to pick up my food & it’s no different there: clean place with fast, good food.“

“Literally the best breakfast food ever!!! Never disappointed. Best part of having to make trips to Riley is eating here.“

“food was yummy, not over priced . friendly atmosphere. fast service“

“I just enjoy their food. Good taste, ample portions, great onion rings. Just great food.“

“I don’t know who answers the phone at the Downtown location. But she is so nice and so professional. She helped me with the situation and was as kind as I would ever want to expect from somebody. Thank you so much. Also, we found this place by accident recently and we have fallen in love with Pizza so we really do enjoy going here.“

“good service Robert corrected our issues couldn't be happier“

“Visiting our old stomping ground for our Forum reunion.“

“great food . food was nice hot. very delicious.“

“Sus tacos de asada son mis favoritos !❤️“

“Best food and the very best people!!!😁😋😍“

“The food was good but my boyfriends tea was cross contaminated with fruit from another customers drink the concern was brushed off as if it was no big deal. So if you have any allergies pay attention to your drinks or food.“

“There were three of us in our party and two of us got great food. I ordered fish and chips and the fish was very hot but was in a puddle of oil which made the coating very soggy and falling off the fish. It wasn't crunchy and crisp, very soggy. The fish was a white fish and it had good flavor.“

“I really liked my chicken sandwich and fries. The Strawberry lemonade was good too. It came out hot and quickly. I will be back!“

“We met with Chilly Water staff and management to discuss an upcoming event partnership. I had not been to this spot before. Very clean, comfortable, and friendly. I tried a couple of beers and took some home. Very good! We went ahead and grabbed lunch before leaving and was not disappointed!“

“We have always had a pleasant experience with the employees here, and the pizza is an amazing value for how much you get. Definitely recommend the Chicken Ranchero and Deluxe Bacon Cheeseburger pizza, but you can’t go wrong with a meats or really any other toppings to be honest.“

“I came here looking for a good stiff drink and something to eat and I found so much more! I was in town as a caregiver for someone receiving medical treatment, and this quickly became my place to come and decompress. On my first visit I was made to feel at home, even though I was 1,500 miles from home. I had a quick drink (or two) and was so excited to come back. Time after time that I came back I was always treated wonderfully - everyone on the team even took care to ask how things were going medically and make sure I was okay, and even eating properly. Social to me isn’t just a bar/restaurant. It was a family experience, when I so desperately needed it“

“Burgers are good but you forgot my fries 😡“

“That was an amazing burger.“

“We appreciate the helpfulness of the staff. There was an issue with the app not taking off the discount. The manager stepped on and helped to rectify the situation. Things happen and don't always work the way they are supposed to. The real measure of a business is how they fix things when they aren't working. This location took care of it with minimal prompting and was pleasant to work with!“
