50 Best Burger Restaurants in Boston

“Great burger! Friendly, attentive staff. Thank you for a great day out!“

“I was in Boston for a day and needed something to eat to hold me down for a few hours. I found this place inside a whole foods. It was weird. Nobody was there to take my order. I thought it was closed, but the hours stated it was open. I noticed the option of placing my order online via a QR code. So I did. 10 minutes later my food arrived. For the record, it was 1 BBQ burger. It looked like something you'd get at McDonald's. And tasted like the Rodeo Cheeseburger at Burger King. Actually brought back lots of memories from my childhood. Really good in a junk food kind of way. The menu actually had lots of options, all fast food inspired. I would love to go back and try it all. A bit pricy tho.

“Best burger in Boston !!!“

“If was awesome 🤩 we love it 🥰“

“I love Wahlburgers in Oran Park. Staff is so nice and the food is amazing. it's a little pricier than Macas, but is soooo much yummier, healthier, bigger...so paying extra couple bucks for a proper burger, proper beef....WORTH IT“

“Came with my family for early dinner and it was an amazing experience. Eddie our server was so attentive and knew the menu extremely well. Food and drinks were outstanding and service was 10/10. We will definitely be coming back and requesting Eddie as our server again!!“

“Went here for dinner after a Bruins game. It’s a 3 minute walk from the Garden, great food (Pub style), great service, decent prices. Definitely will be back.“

“Best chicken bites! Highly recommend ♥️“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Shannon Tavern is hands-down one of the best bars in South Boston!

Don’t let the “dive bar” label fool you—this place has an atmosphere that’s second to none. It’s family-owned and operated, and you can feel that personal touch the moment you walk in. The bartenders are incredibly friendly, and the patrons are just as welcoming. Whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time, you’ll feel right at home here.

It’s a spot with a lot of heart and zero pretension—a rare find these days. If you’re in the area and looking for a place with great vibes and even better people, The Shannon Tavern is it. Highly recommend stopping by for a drink (or two)!“

“Great experience, amazing service, and even better food“

“Quick and friendly service!“

“Holy moly! Rainy first night in Boston staying up the way at the Commonwealth we visited the Kenmore. Nathan took great care of us. Solid pour at the bar. Can I say enough about the K Burger? Likely not other than the first bite blows your mind. Quality over everything else. Great spot, will be back tonight and tomorrow night looking for Sturgill Simpson fans.“

“Omg! The lemon rice soup is fantastic! It can heal whatever you’re suffering from. I also recommend the chicken salad. I never thought I would ever rave about chicken salad but Maria’s Kitchen has the best I’ve ever had! Love this place!!“

“A real Boston Irish pub! Not tacos or pasta here like alot of the others. Only pub we go to in Boston.“

“Amazing flavor! Delicious and affordable food in Boston.. Each of us spent $10 for a huge lunch, including rice, beans, salad and a protein.. And the customer service was outstanding! The ladies at the counter were very cordial and explained in detail their food.. The Bacalao and pork chop were outstanding!“

“Just grabbed a couple pizzas to go. They were really good. I ordered on line, and the service was friendly and easy.
The atmosphere wasnt all that great. Small, crowded and loud, but since I wasnt eating there, I did not care.
I would go back next time Im in Boston.“

“I wandered in here recently to watch a C’s game and was very impressed with the friendliness of the staff, quality of service and deliciousness of the food. I immediately felt comfortable and like a regular.“

“Delicious chicken sandwich“

“It was great places and I love this service because the waiters is very nice“

“So. This time I've got business to take care of near Maverick MBTA station. Needed something quick for breakfast. Haven't been to Burger King in a while. So I was pleasantly surprised.

The food is standard Burger King fare, y'know biscuits, Croissan'wich, etc. The team member, Ignacia, at the counter displayed excellent customer service skills, took care with my order, ensured my order accuracy, and made me feel valued, all with a beautiful smile. The restaurant and restroom facilities were clean and accessible. I'm going to remember this location and return soon.

Vegetarian options: They've got salads and Impossible Burgers

Parking: Maverick T Station across the street“

“My opinion is 9.6/10. Came here because of man vs food did the 2 lbs burger. This place till this day has the juiciest burger meat I ever had was literally dripping down my arm, but not only juicy flavorful and highly enjoyable. I don't like Boston, as a NYer but this place is the only reason I would ever go back. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.

“When we come to Boston, it’s a must to make it to the South End Buttery . We’ve been visiting the Buttery for about 10 years . The Easter Brunch was amazing (2021) 🎃“

“Cozy little diner with nostalgic decor and wonderful breakfast. Expect a slight wait on Sunday mornings, but if you’re not in a rush, this place will hit the spot for your good ole fashioned breakfast. Rebecca was very attentive and kept the waitlist moving.“

“nice service. love the 🍟.“

“While at the feast this morning, staff were prepping their outdoor table when my elderly mom and I were being harassed by a stranger. Staff quickly ushered us inside despite them being closed to the public today, then offered us free coffee (which was great by the way!) and we waited safely there until the coast was totally clear. They were so kind to my mom and I and it showed me that they value everyone’s safety which is so important especially in food service. We truly appreciate it are now happy new fans of Mangia Mangia, we can’t wait to return for a full meal!!“

“Friendly atmosphere; great food choices. Big plate choices; smaller plate choices; burgers, salads, etc. We were not rushed out, even though it was a very busy night.“

“We visited on a Thursday in mid-June 2025 for lunch.

It was hard to find in the basement. It was pretty packed around 1ish when we arrived. It was 90+F outside. It's a bit over priced but it's museum food, so it's expected but it was more affordable than trying to feed an army of children upstairs at the fancy restaurant. The chairs also did not slide well on the floors.

We ordered:
- Chicken bowls (pretty good, we went back and ordered 2nd)
- Cheese burger (meh, standard but reasonable price)
- Chicken tenders (hot but good and kids ate it all, also reasonable price)
- Fruit cup $5 not bad. Wanted fruit after all fried foods

Overall we'd probably pick this again if we were spending the entire day at the museum. There is a snacky store by the main gift shop at the back of the museum but it's really just snacks.“

“I live next door, and they busy all the time but all the cars in the lot and the drive thru are always gone quick, they are super fast and efficient. They go over everything and make sure your good BEFORE you take off. Definitely worth coming take my word you won't be disappointed.

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly, plenty of high chairs and booster seats. Clean, and the people who come in even the teens after school an during the summer are always respectful especially with the little ones. But never any worries I am a dad of 4 kids been here alot with them very convenient and safe.

Parking: Plenty of parking with additional spots across the street.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“In August I took my mobility-challenged Dad to iHop for lunch. He used to go to this location frequently when starting his career, especially on the night shift, and has fond memories. We went at midday to avoid crowds. As we were crossing the flat parking lot (yay, thank you!) with me pushing his wheelchair, a car beeped and an iHop employee got out of her car to hold the door. She then left, but had stopped at the end of her shift to to help. Another employee inside immediately came and held another door. The staff was so kind and helped find a good comfortable spot. The food was delicious - and the coffee as good as always. It was the first time we didn't get breakfast food. My Dad loved the BLT and especially the onion rings. He got the senior sandwich which was perfect size and a good price for seniors. I had the chicken biscuit sandwich. I reluctantly saved a piece to bring home to my mom because I knew she'd love it so I wanted her to try. The service was impeccable. They were attentive but let us linger. My Dad enjoyed himself without feeling like he was holding anyone up. He doesn't like to go out a lot, due to mobility and memory challenges, but he had such a good time. Next time I'm home we will be back. Thank you for a great experience!“

“It's such a vibrant place where shopping, dining, and just strolling around feels like a treat.“

“Fast, unique food and beers, open late, serves late…“

“Ordered their double turkey burger with lettuce instead of a bun and a garden salad. Ate the salad first and it was big, which was phenomenal. The turkey burger was juicy, the sauce was great and the lettuce wrap was green and not some iceberg junk. I would definitely order from there again. Oh, and the price was great too.“

“Authentic Southie.The way it should be.“

“I'm a burger maniac and Mama's burgers are the best in town. Fries and onion rings are as crispy as they get. And if you want to get a melancholic feeling, add a Root beer. Two cons: if you pay by card, 1$ will be added and; don't go for the milkshakes.“

“I had never thought about combining boursin and hot sauce OR putting them on a burger with bacon. But this place did and it was delightful! They ran a tight ship. He caught me eyeing the joint before I ever walked up. Made a point to tell me about the restroom code on the receipt. The fries were done fresh and were salted to perfection. To top that all off, they did not skimp on the ketchup packets.

Wonderful experience. 10/10 highly recommend.“

“I want to leave a good review for this restaurant after having to put up with my door dash driver in a bizarre situation. I called the restaurant four times because the driver kept telling me that the owner wouldn’t give him the order. The owner over the phone was very friendly and seemed to genuinely have no idea what he was talking about. The driver was there for thirty minutes and said he was waiting in line ignored. Showed me a picture of him in line. The owner said this wasn’t the case, and that the driver didn’t appear to speak English well and didn’t seem to understand to just to go to the counter and ask for the order and go. The dasher told me strange things, like the owner said that he was a bad person, hates all delivery drivers and that he deducts from their accounts. What? So after 30+ minutes of this weirdness the driver canceled and the next driver that was assigned was there immediately and delivered my pizza no problem. Unfortunately, I couldn’t report the driver once it had been reassigned but his name was GEAN. The owner called me back, apologizing for the first driver’s behavior and gave me a free drink. The pizza was excellent BTW!!“

“The Scorching Hot Chicken Sandwich was great, but took about 30 minutes to get, when the restaurant was almost empty.“

“My first time at this restaurant, and I differ 100% from the comments I have read, the person who helped me on the phone was very friendly, very polite, they gave me 25 minutes to pick up my order and when I arrived at the location it was ready , very clean, well organized, the person who received me was very polite, I mean good service, my order, a pork chimi and a Dominican style hot dog, the best I have eaten in Boston, good portion for the price, very good quality/price, very juicy, very good seasoning, I was looking for that quality of food in Boston for quite some time and I finally found it, they have a new client, well 2, my wife and I“

“ZaZiBar is an absolute gem in Boston’s nightlife scene! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is electric—inviting, vibrant, and effortlessly cool. Whether you're there for a casual night out or to celebrate something special, ZaZiBar sets the perfect tone.

The food is outstanding—every dish is crafted with care and flavor. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. The drink menu is just as impressive, with creative cocktails and a solid selection of spirits, wines, and beers. Whatever your taste, there’s something for you here.

A special shoutout to bartenders Laura and Mango—they truly elevate the experience. Friendly, attentive, and masters behind the bar, they not only serve up excellent drinks but also great energy. You feel welcomed and taken care of, every single time.

ZaZiBar is the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again. Highly recommend!“

“Definitely look for and follow the signs before a game. Couple beverages…Then walk upstairs and show your ticket and you’re in the park!“

“It was very good. The service was great and quick.“

“Wonderful place to have dinner. With your friends.“

“Absolutely amazing pizza!! Best by far, hands down!“

“Everything. They are the perfect place to relax , have fun, and enjoy great Spanish music and great Spanish food. I love this place. 💜 Norvia is the Best!!!!“

“As a valued customer, I like to say. This place is a good place to eat, nothing can go wrong with single sliced pizza, and some yummy chicken alfrado big Variety of food. customer service is good and the atmosphere is fun and everyone is like family... during the summer is the best time with the beach just down the road, there is decent parking come check out there new Dessert Chocolate chip cookie. With the oreo in the middle. Definitely definitely something to take home and warm up and drink with some milk.“

“Best wrap I ever had. By far. First time coming here and I'll be sure to come back.“

“Beautiful!! Amazing show !!!“

“Hogan has made Napper Tandy, Roslindale, a very community friendly place, from his friendly, witty banter to adding atmosphere with special lighting and with flowers adorning the bar.
Morgana, one of the mixologists, is very talented creating interesting and fun cocktails.
I feel like Norm from Cheers when I go to Napper because they remember my special cocktail and don’t even ask what I’m drinking.
Thank-you Hogan for making this a friendly local pub to visit.“

“Ate at this place recently. Man the people that work here were just awesome and friendly. The food was incredible. No joke. 1000% recommend for fast, good food!“
