17 Best Burger Restaurants in Cambridge

“fast and efficient customer service. Definitely recommend the Hamburger and fries“

“Very good, But I don't want to hamburger anymore“

“One of the best burger & milkshake in town. Always recommend people to come after 10.30 PM, when most of the resto in Boston is closed, since the resto offers affordable and tasty smash burgers for $3. You just need to add a beverage per person, and you can order as many smash burgers. We ordered the milkshake, pump up the yamp, and it was calculated for 3 people, yeahhhhh!
The great part of the milkshake was the cake on top of the glass, marshmallow, and fried sweet potato. Really worth the price.
I recommend people to order the fries, really delicious and enjoy it while watching the World Series.
They also provide the clean restrooms. The waiters and waitresses are so friendly and kind. Really love this resto!“

“Such a chill vibe!! I will be making this a regular spot.“

“Roxy’s food truck catered an event at my job today and it was amazing. Between the grilled cheese selection, tomato soup, and tater tots it’s hard to pick a favorite. They were all amazing! The hot honey grilled cheese with bacon was addictive! Their team that did the set up and catered the event were so nice and friendly. If you get the chance to try their food do it! It will not disappoint.“

“My sons and I went to Oak Bistro on Saturday night after Thanksgiving as our last meal of our trip-my husband had to be in Boston for work, and we spent the week going around looking at colleges. It was the best meal of our week and we loved it (even better than our Thanksgiving meal)! I had one cocktail, which was seasonally-themed and delicious, we ordered three appetizers (well two of the same appetizer since it was small, and my teenage son said he would eat the whole thing himself), a special, and two entrees and two sides. Again, I have 2 teenage sons. My special, the lamb was fantastic, paired perfectly with mushroom risotto, and I tried the Parmesan and truffle fries of my son and they were the best I had ever had. My sons had the duck gnocchi and braised ribs parpadelle and both enjoyed their dishes. I will say the amount of rib meat in the pasta did seem a little limited, but my son did not share for me to try. Coming from the Bay Area, California, the prices didn't really give us sticker shock, except for the appetizers. $11 for three dates is a little high. My favorite restaurant at home in California does the same and it's $9 for five. You should at least do four or five dates so a table can have one each. But our food was great, and I've told my husband, who has to be in Boston for work regularly, that he has to try Oak Bistro. It was better than the restaurant he took me to for a date night (Giulia). I will definitely be back, especially if one of the kids ends up in Boston for college!“

“Burgers are the best! Service is always friendly absolutely my favorite!!!!!“

“A Creative Thai Fusion Journey!

Black Ruby: Thai Craft Burger is truly a culinary adventure. Every dish I tried felt like a journey through bold creativity and refined Thai flavors. I ordered the burrata mushroom salad, mussels in red curry with rice wine, the Massaman burger, and tom yum shrimp pasta — and every single dish was absolutely amazing and delicious.

The flavor profiles were imaginative yet balanced, showing how much thought goes into their menu. It’s rare to find a place where every plate stands out on its own, but Black Ruby truly delivers.

Even though the shop was very busy during my visit, the staff managed everything smoothly. They were warm, welcoming, and clearly knowledgeable about the menu, which made the experience even better.

I highly recommend this spot — especially for Bostonians who want a great place to host friends, family, or out-of-town guests. It’s the perfect hangout for anyone looking to share unique, adventurous, and unforgettable flavors.

Definitely a must-try!“

“Awesome burger and the fries were delicious too!“

“The restaurant is well-decorated and embodies the spirit of Boston in its decor. They offer a variety of items, from small plates to large. The beer selection includes both local and global options. The food dishes are beyond ordinary preparation, featuring a fusion of multiple cuisines, but with careful attention to avoid overshadowing any one cuisine. The veggie burger might sound simple, but even with lettuce wraps, it was juicy and the sauces were like warm hugs to the burger. The sides weren’t just plain house potatoes; they were crispy yet flavorful.“

“The truffle hamburger was very small for the price ($11) and had minimal truffle sauce and combined with the truffle fries ($7), I don't think the value was worth price paid (combined with a drink/tax/tip, comes out to ~ $25). However, the bowls are filling, no sides necessary, and therefore feel to be of greater value.I have ordered the eggplant meatballs several times as well as sweet potato fries. I liked both but I know the fries are hit or miss for some folks.“

“Best Nashville hot sandwich along with fantastic southern sides hands down! No other competition out there, it’s just that good!“

“The best ever! We’re going to miss you all!“

“Food & service excellent, though home fries had too much oil for my taste.

Staff are very friendly, polite & helpful (Sharayah [wait staff] & Derrick [day manager]).

I love the colorful walls, too.“

“Besides the fact that it's an incredible venue for music with a really cool vibe, I had a grain bowl this evening with Farrow, shrimp, kale, toasted chick peas, cucumber, green apples and a delightfuly tangy lemon dressing! For some reason my taste buds detected cheddar cheese... but low and behold it was a dairy free dish! I don't know how you did it you crafty chefs, but my taste buds were devilishly and happily fooled! Since becoming vegan, I miss the taste of cheese! Especially cheddar! Also, The young waitress was very sweet and good at her job.“

“Just had our first visit to Charlie's Kitchen under its new management. Still has the casual burger and wings vibe, but with a more eclectic American menu. We had the Wagu burger, chicken wings with Japanese curry sauce and the incredible Hawaiian chicken salad...all fresh and delicious! The wait staff were all super friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be stopping by any chance we get, especially as the weather warms up and the beer garden opens!“

“If your are looking for a place with high quality this is a excellent spot. Very much recommend this spot. 🔥🔥🔥🔥“
