50 Best Burger Restaurants near East Boston

“Great neighborhood bar with amazing food. We were a party of 8 and the service was fast and very cordial. The burgers are highly recommended along with some waffle fries. I loved the vibe of the place and will definitely go back soon. Favorite burger in Boston this year.“

“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.

“I ordered the Big Burger and Strawberry Love shake and they were delicious. Staff member behind the counter was very helpful. I ordered from the app and had a little trouble getting to the payment screen and staff member showed me how. Food was prepared quickly and was hot. I noticed another customer didn't want to use the tablet to order and staff member took her order at the register. I read other reviews criticizing everything I found perfect.

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

“Best burger in Boston !!!“

“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“

“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!“

“Best burger in town and I love the sweet potato fries!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Best chicken bites! Highly recommend ♥️“

“I think their chicken wings really taste like McDonald’s spicy chicken wings in China! ! ! ! There is nothing like Korean fried chicken in Boston, but every time you want to eat domestic taste, this is the fried chicken! And that chicken fillet roll really tastes like the old Beijing chicken roll “

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Just Fabulous 🙌😋 Recommended 💯“

“yes I recommend plnt Burger“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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)!“

“5 out of 5 stars for Josephine! Dined on a Sunday evening around 6pm without a reservation. Both the food and our server were great and I love that they have martinis on draft. We ordered a chicken Caesar salad, sausage rigatoni, and hot honey/pepperoni pizza. The salad was chilled and crisp, perfect for a hot day and the rigatoni and pizza were both delicious and substantial portions. Looking forward to going back!“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Drifters is a solid spot! Food was great and the staff was super friendly. Roni pizza with hot honey and jalapeños is numero uno. Visited there having drinks solo, and also took fam for brunch and dinner. Great time, every time. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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 ordered and picked up catering for an off-site staff party, and everything was nicely labeled, well prepared, and very delicious. Prices were more than reasonable, and the staff was very easy to work with. There's a nice menu (lunch, dinner, snacks) with plenty of options.“

“Quick and friendly service!“

“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!!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“One of the best Sandwiches I ever had in Quincy. Friendly staff and quick service. Um dos melhores sanduíches que eu tive em Quincy. O prato feito também é delicioso. Staff super gentil e serviço muito rápido. Voltarei sempre! ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent vibe, great food selection and cold Guinness 👍🏼👍🏼“

“My order taker Sulley did an amazing job with helping me place my order. Any question I had she was easily able to answer 😀 I’m visiting town from Texas and I’ll be sure to stop by this restaurant again before I leave! 10/10 recommend the smashtots“

“I really loved the food here! Their pizzas and calzones are just amazing and totally worth trying. They have it all, subs, wraps, fried chicken… and oh, the fried chicken wings tossed in buffalo sauce are absolutely mouth‑watering! They even have slices to go. Definitely coming back here again!“
