50 Best Burger Restaurants near Chestnut Hill

“Delicious food and an amazing place! The view overlooking the golf course is beautiful, and the food and service were excellent.

The only thing that was a little confusing at first was that they were hosting a private event, so I wasn’t sure where to order. If it’s your first time visiting, just go inside to place your order. They’ll give you a number, and your food will be brought to your table. They don’t have a waiter checking on your table, so if you need anything else, simply head back inside.

I absolutely loved everything about this place—the location, the gorgeous views, the delicious food, and the friendly service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Soooo good! Bacon burger and cheese fries were top notch! 🤤“

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

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

“Blows away fancy burger joints at almost half the price.“

“Heard about this burger joint...AND I wasn't disappointed, in fact it will probably take me a few months to eat my way through their eclectic menu and no doubt I'll enjoy the ride. Burger was excellent, but the caveat was the cole slaw, NOT your store bought or KFC, this was truly a chef Michelin rated green/purple slaw with an incredible dressing. To top it off, you have to eat the fries.... I didn't ask, but they seemed to be riced then fried...5*****“

“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.“

“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!“

“What a fun place!! Like stepping back in time in the best sense and the food and service and everything is top notch. We will definitely be back!!“

“First time at Cityside last night and it was great! The Nachos were so good I wish we had gotten a large, the buffalo wings had a nice crisp to them which made them amazing. For entrees I had the fish tacos which were good but not all that and my fiancé had the cheesesteaks which can’t be compared to cheesesteaks on the North shore but still good. The drinks were good but pretty pricey. My fiancé liked every drunk he got besides the Mai Tai. It was super nice being on the roof top which made the entire night 💕 I definitely would recommend.“

“Delicious! Burgers & Cousin Stizz fries were so good!“

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

“Everything about this place is perfect! Every member of the staff was genuinely kind and friendly to all patrons- regardless of whether they were regulars or tourists, and the food was fantastic. We went there 2 meals in a row and I’m still thinking of the food a month later. Next time we go to Boston we will only stay somewhere walking distance, and if you’re not nearby, it’s absolutely worth a journey!“

“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.

“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.“

“The burgers were phenomenal and it was only eclipsed by the service. They are very welcoming and take hospitality for its true meaning. I’ve been a few times and one where I was on a break from drinking I still felt as welcomed to when I was on a bender.“

“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!!“

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

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

“One of the biggest and best burgers I’ve ever had! I absolutely loved it!!! Since it was October 31st, I think it was pretty busy. Our order took about 30 minutes to be ready, probably because of the crowd. But the food was AMAZING! Definitely worth it! 🍔❤“

“Hands down the best steak and cheese I’ve ever had!!! Please add it to the menu indefinitely, I need to know I can come eat this whenever I want it- because I will be craving it. The bread is so perfect, the chopped onions, enough cheese. Literally perfect!!!!!“

“excellent food great service“

“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.“

“Haven't been to this place in years but, boy sm I glad I did. Got a steak onion and cheese sub at 8 AM, because I could order that at what would be other shops " Breakfast only" time. Nice soft roll ,steak NOT chopped to oblivious gravel like other shops. This spot IS the spot for a steak and cheese . I'm gonna go back and try all the ol standards again done right. Kudos. Can't wait to try a simple hit dog. Believe it or not, people screw that up . But according to the reviews I've seen, they're done just right. It's really nice to know that these non pretentecious simply good food places still do exist.“

“I love the wings, extra crispy and hubby loves the tenders. And don’t forget to get a piece of cornbread! Food is always delicious; service is great, very friendly and courteous - they bring the food to your table when you dine in. Atmosphere is cool and they have fun arcade games. If you haven’t been here yet, what are you waiting for?!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Quick and friendly service!“

“yes I recommend plnt Burger“

“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!!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“literally divine. gorgeous place, super cute date spot w ambient lighting, and delicious delicious food.

i got the curry burger which was so delightfully rich, crunchy, savory, and also had an acidic kick from the pickles. i also got the mango sticky rice colada, which was sweet and flavorful.

super cute date night spot or place to go wit friends !! you must go !!!

also great w gluten free options and vegetarian swap outs (upcharged though)“

“Cozy, neat little burger place. The food was delicious, and very unique. But the milkshakes, OMG out of this world. This is a unique dining experience that is definitely worth the trip!“

“I have lived in the Boston-esque area for twelve years and have eaten so many good meals, but the fish tacos here are the only meal I needed to have before my upcoming move out west(ern MA). Cocktails are fun and creative, service is 13/10, the XL portions of fries that require to-go boxes are the only fries I’ve ever found to reheat well, and if you’re lucky, Steve will be tending bar. I love going at the slightly quieter times but I’ll never gatekeep the euphoria experienced by a meal here. Bonus perks: Max & Chelsea have the best senses of humor, the murals on the patio are always amazing, the beer and wine selection are vast (also the mocktails!), and the decor always feels like your favorite “I Spy” book.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“These are some good smash burgers. They're not quite as good as shake shack burgers, but they're just as good as five Guy burgers. Even though they're smashburgers, they are keep their juiciness and flavorful profile with their grilled caramelized onions to.go with it. The fries are okay. I would recommend going“

“Gluten-free food was very good and the CJ & Kathy were very helpful and good about the allergy. I feel bad I didn’t have money to tip much but it was take out and I enjoyed the food. Will definitely come again, hopefully I can get an even bigger side of tzatziki loll“

“Amazing how food! Great atmosphere! Friendly staff!“

“So happy to see Pedro and his fabulous food back in the area!“
