50 Best Burger Restaurants in Indianapolis

“The frisco w added grilled onions 🥇“

“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!“

“My son and I had dinner the night before a Colts game. First time here, we were both blown away! The food was amazing, we had great service. The vibe here is very good.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I was hesitant to eat at the hotel restaurant because I haven't always had the best experience at other hotels, but they knocked it out of the park. Pretzel sticks with the queso was yummy and the burgers were awesome. I had the farm fresh burger with a single patty, and seriously, the Boursin cheese with the portobello mushrooms and peppers was a delicious combo. Highly recommend!“

“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 *“

“The food is very good I recommend“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

Our server Jasmine was so kind and made sure that we had everything we needed. She came to check and make sure everything was so good! We would definitely go back!“

“Don't judge a book by its cover because this small diner is HUGE with flavor..“

“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.“

“Beautiful experience last night here for our wedding anniversary. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. I had the chef’s tasting menu which was amazing. Thank you all for a fun night and amazing food! We will be back!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Best damn steak & shake I've had in 3 years across the Midwest. I'm not the only one who thinks so. My entire family and some friends make it a point to stop there anytime they're visiting me. The service is respectful and fast. Pride is taken in preparing our food. If you miss Steak & Shake like we had been, stop in and find out for yourselves. 🙂“

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

“Hands down the best food in Johnson County with the best staff and more than affordable prices. We are regulars every weekend.“

“Sus tacos de asada son mis favoritos !❤️“

“Fire food for a low price“

“This is the greatest place to eat. The waitresses are great. They take good care of me. I feel like family.“

“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“

“This is a new location open at fall creek.extra lemon pepper on everything is cool. Excellent service fresh food. Everyone stop by and try once

Parking: Lots of parking

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Have a ramp right outside the door“

“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 come in here often to play on my laptop and grab some good eats. Definitely one of the best Burger Kings southside. The people who work here are professional and the service is tops. Good environment to do schoolwork or business. Also a great place to bring your kids for a quick bite. Safe and quiet.“

“I’m huge fan of five guys. I try to never write negative reviews. This is not a condemnation of five guys in general. I’ve never had a bad meal in store. I just spent 31.00 on a DoorDash order. Huge mistake. I’ll never make again. The fries were over cooked and soggy. Not even hyperbole when I say my dog didn’t even want them. The burger bowl was cold. Clearly remade and not edible. The order got to me faster than most In store orders I’ve made. Seriously. I’ll eat at five guys but ONLy in store. Worst DoorDash order. Ever. Have to say though the food quality lies completely at your place. Do better.“

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

“Can't go wrong with steak and shake and outstanding hamburger and other items on the menu.You gotta try to like it when you're like it.You're gonna love it

Kid-friendliness: My grandchildren and I eat there all the time. Ages 9,11, and 16, we love it.“

“My favorite quick grab and go food! The food is not that bs you get from McDonald’s or Burger King! The quality is unmatched. And for the price you aren’t gonna find a burger better than this! I prefer this location, they’re all good but this one is the best!!!! Doesn’t matter what time of day you get FRESH HOT GOOD FOOD! And quick!!!“

“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!“
