44 Best Burger Restaurants in Boston

“Hands down, the BEST smash beef burger everrrrr!!! I don’t think I’ll ever find a spot better than Burg & Shaw in the whole world. I tried their double beef burger. The beef was so so good, perfectly grilled, charred to perfection. The brioche buns with buttery taste, the right amount of burger sauce. Believe me if you are a real beef lover you won’t be needing any extra sauces! I’ll remember Boston for this eatery for sure. Also, brother Ahmed the owner and the whole staff is very welcoming & courteous. This is heavenly food, the best Halal beef burger in the WORLD! Kuddos to you guys.“

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

“Coming from Ireland we have little to no 'fast food' plant based options like this so I was excited to try! I got one of the regular burgers, the mac and cheese and the fries. The burger was excellent, I couldn't fault it. the Mac and Cheese was also very tasty. Not overly gone on the fries but still nice!“

“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.

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

“Best burger in Boston !!!“

“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.“

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

“This place was great! Food was amazing! This Gorden Ramsey guy must really know what he’s doing 😁 I got the Idiot burger with sweet potato fries and it came out wonderful. Plus our server was very friendly and accommodating to us.“

“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 gentleman working inside the truck is the absolute best and so funny. The food is top notch, and the shakes are out of this world. I highly recommend this food truck!!“

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

“Went to downtown Boston for the afternoon and came here to grab lunch, ordered half meat and half veggie pizza. Pizza is made fresh, and is made in 10 minutes. Portions were heaping large, a large pizza fed 4 people well. Singular slices are MASSIVE, easily feeding a person. Pizza was delicious, the meat pizza is very savory and greasy, and the vegetable pizza is simply exquisite. The bell peppers and onions on the pizza are crunchy and flavorful. The drink selection is very wide and the chefs are very nice and friendly.“

“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!!“

“Quick and friendly service!“

“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) 🎃“

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

“Perfect. This is the kind of place I can come back to! Local, historical, ethical and flavorful! We were lucky enough to get seats at the counter where you can see all the action. Food, service and atmosphere are all top notch. As an added bonus for all of you day drinkers out there, this diner has a liquor license. This place is historical and also nowhere near the Patriot Trail so if you're there you did it on purpose. I think my favorite thing was the hustle and bustle of regular folks coming in and out of the diner, including two cops who were picking up a lunch order!“

“Finally tried this famous burger spot! Thursday 10,2026. I got the cajun fries and the double cheeseburger and a side of the house sauce. The service was great burger was fresh tasting, pickles and diced onions fresh the potato bun was delicious! The Cajun fries were crispy and well seasoned and had a lil kick! Will try this spot again soon!“

“A small neighborhood spot serving standard Dominican staples.

Put this place on my radar over a year ago. Dominican spots are incredibly rare in this part of town (or really anywhere near Downtown Boston). Fresh off a trip to the DR a few weeks back, I was craving a proper, heavy Dominican breakfast.

I walked in around 8 AM on a Saturday, and the hot bar was limited strictly to the usual stuff like chicharrón, fried salami, queso frito, and some wings. I was low-key hoping to load up a plate with rice, but apparently, that doesn't hit the line until 9:30 AM. Just grabbed a small plate with all the proteins stacked over a base of mangú (mashed green plantains).

Everything was decent, though naturally not as hitting the same tier as the plates I was just eating down in Santo Domingo. There are zero prices listed anywhere, which is always a bit of a gamble, but a fully loaded small plate was around $12–$13. Probably not a spot I’d go out of my way for on a regular basis, but solid if you just need a massive, good portion of Dominican comfort food.“

“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“

“I’m a pescatarian and had lunch at the Garden Cafe today. The tomato vegetable soup was delicious and the salad bar had a wide selection of very fresh items, from veggies to salmon to rice-filled dolmas! And the prices are a great value. You have the choice of eating indoors (cool in the summer) or in the gorgeous courtyard.“

“I had a super time helping out the fantastic owners of Molly Moo's on the eve of St. Paddy's Day! I hope that those that did visit us were happy with the service and food! Please stop by and visit them again... Ice cream season is right around the corner!“

“Beautiful!! Amazing show !!!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“Must try crab cake sliders! Fried pickles (made in house!) Friendly and accommodating staff! Great bar space. Reasonable prices! A Boston gem“

“Authentic Southie.The way it should be.“

“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.“

“Started with the chicken tenders. They were the best I’ve had that I can think of. Didn’t try the pizza until maybe four years later, and man.. all the wasted time 🤦🏽‍♂ Pizza is excellent, as well! My ONE hang up? Stapling the bags! You guys have to stop doing that. I’ve injured myself multiple times tearing apart the bags in a ravenous state of starvation. This time, you stapled the bag so hard that it went through the plasticware! Please, please, please stop stapling! Tell your other restaurant friends, also. It’s actually hurting your loyal customers. Everything else is great, though!“

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

“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“
