Burger Restaurants near Needham

“Just a few times I've been here the service was slow. I only say this because I see employees just doing nothing in the kitchen/ prep area. I'm assuming if they were on break they wouldn't be there lounging. Otherwise still a decent macdonalds!“

“An absolute gem! Our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. The ambience was delightful, setting the perfect tone for a memorable evening. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring every need was met promptly and courteously.As for the food, it was simply divine. We indulged in a feast of flavors, from the savory deep dish pizzas and succulent shrimp cocktail to the refreshing Caesar salad and flavorful meatballs. The hash browns were a delightful addition, adding a crispy texture to the meal. And let's not forget the cocktails and wine, expertly crafted and perfectly complementing our dishes.Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for an extraordinary dining experience, this place truly delivers on all fronts. A definite five-star destination!“

“Today was our last day in Boston during our four day outing and we were looking for a place to end off our trip with a bang. Did not disappoint!!! The layout and vide of the restaurant is beautiful, perfect for a date night or night out with any loved ones. Our waitress, Shivahni, was amazing! She was very nice and super attentive. For appetizers, we got the cornbread and their croquettes. Both were tasty and had their unique flavors. For entree, both my mother and sister got the mushroom risotto, my father got the scallops, and i got the panini. This has to be one of the best french dip panini's out there. 100% would recommend!!! I wish they had this exact place back in Miami! When we come back, we are totally coming back here :)“

“If everyone had a local like this, there might not be any strife in the world. These $2.50 burgers and $1.50 dogs are not only cheap, they’re absolutely delicious (all the sandwiches are, the bread/buns are amazing), and are served up extremely quickly, even on busy evenings. A deal like that could well lead to world peace.Staff are extremely friendly and efficient, and the beer is cold. 10/10 needs a Michelin star.“

“Eli's is a cute spot for brunch. We came around 1 and have table right away but it could be pack in the morning. One thing I didn't like is my potato, other than that I really like omelette. The service is really quick as well. I will back and might try other stuffs.“

“Our new favorite joint!! The portions are generous and cocktails are on point. Max and Chelsea are amazing humans and it’s evident the love they’ve poured into this restaurant. Dining there feels like coming home… minus the family drama/judgment and with the tastiest, most nurturing home cooked meal. We are so happy to have this neighborhood gem so close to us.“

“I love this place. My friends introduced it to me when I first moved to the area and my husband, son, and I have been going ever since. They do dollar oysters every day until 5:30pm, which is hard to find these days. It's the best deal in town! We also love the poutine and there's usually a few great local/seasonal beers on draft. Great atmosphere and the guys who work here are friendly, efficient, and helpful. Highly recommend!“

“Loved this spot in Waltham for rainy day lunch! This was our first time and really enjoyed the food and the overall experience. Build Your Own Burgers was my favorite. And they have good crafts beer offerings too. We live within walking distance and are considering this as our favorite walkable lunch spot for the summer.“

“I’ve been waiting for a vegan fast-food type restaurant to open in the area for a while and was so excited to discover PLNT Burger. It was easy to locate in Whole Foods, placed toward the front of the store by the kitchen and bakery area. I ordered ahead using the website and it was all ready when I arrived. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious everything was! I would highly recommend PLNT Burger to anyone looking for a quick vegetarian or vegan meal. I found the vegan soft-serve to be particularly exciting and it was amazing!“

“One of our favorite hot chicken sandwich restaurants. Quality is impeccably consistent every time we stop by: juicy yet extremely crispy chicken, well seasoned breading, and creamy yet tangy toppings. The blend of texture and taste in every bite is undeniably delicious. We recommend Hot Chix to every friend and colleague in the area, ever since Hot Chix’s soft opening. Cheers to enjoying the best chicken sandwich in Cambridge!“

“We recently had the pleasure of visiting the South Bay location for lunch, and our experience was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we stepped in, we were warmly greeted by Lori, who was incredibly welcoming and friendly, setting a positive tone for our visit. The variety of food choices available at South Bay caught our attention, making it hard to decide what to try first.Ultimately, we settled on the burgers, which were absolutely delicious, and paired them with truffle tots that were a savory treat for our taste buds. To add a touch of green to our meal, we also indulged in some of their kale and Brussels sprouts slaw, which was a refreshing and tasty addition to our meal. Each dish was prepared to perfection, and we savored every bite.Our dining experience at South Bay was so enjoyable that we're already looking forward to our next visit. With the warm hospitality shown by Lori and the delectable array of food options, it's easy to see why we'll be coming back again soon.“

“It is the best tourist trap that locals go to...skip tasty burger or shake shack in Harvard Sq and just go to Mr Bartleys for a superior burger at a very similar price pointBiggest issue is no public restroom for a sit down place, but its the city's fault not the business“

“I went here like 10 years ago, then happen to revisit it tonight. All i can say is EXCELLENT all around: meal, service, atmosphere. I had the eggplant parm w spaghetti. And a bowl of minestrone soup...very tastey, not salty. The staff should be applauded and recognized for their friendly personalities and hard work!! Its a quaint atmosphere too. They also honor luncheon menu during dinner. Nobody does that in the industry.:^)Definitely coming back more often. Great Italian restaurant!!!“

“Just what you would expect. Delicious burgers, hot dogs, fries and more. No frills. Sit at the counter in an old train car. Service is friendly and old school. Order when ready, watch them cook on an old and cool griddle, and serve you fresh food. Enjoy coming back for easy, delicious, and affordable food.Parking: Some spots in front and on side. Otherwise paid parking on street and lot“

“We were visiting relatives in Watertown and decided to try this place for lunch. It was very busy on a Friday at lunchtime but we were quickly seated. The menu is vast and has everything from salads to burgers to sandwiches and even breakfast. Our party opted for a reuben sandwich, a burger, a Cobb salad, and an Asian chicken salad. Service and price were good“

“Solid Burger Place with an even greater staff. Love the vibes too! I got the Big Tasty and the ingredients were pretty fresh. I liked the tasty sauce too I had to get some extra on the side. Well seasoned patty and our table was clean and neat when they sat us down. Planning to come again!“

“I didn't try any food but I went for a beer after work. The beer selection is good not huge and all recognizable. It was filled up with a party and was less obnoxious then going to Dave and busters or level 99. Dave and busters you can sit there 20 minutes and the bartender just won't acknowledge you. Level 99 they don't want to help you and the place is filthy, loud, and filled with kids.“

“We stopped in an hour before closing on a Friday night. The service was quick and friendly. We just ordered the chicken caesar fries and the pulled pork mac and cheese egg rolls. The wedge fries (wish they had been shoestring) were over-fried and a little burnt, and the oil must not have been shaken off well enough because the salad on top became pretty greasy. Overall though, it had good flavor and its comparable quality to basic bar food. I would bring people here after a party or for a late night dinner, but nothing special to rave about. We'll try the burgers next time!“

“Best burger in Boston hands down! Whenever I am craving a giant, the size of my face, mouth watering burger, it has to be a burger from Lee's burgers! This location is not that big but it has a few tables and stools to dine in. It's an order at the counter and if you dine in they bring you your food to the table. My bf and I were craving juicy burgers so we drove up to Lee's. It was busy Saturday night, they had a lot of pick up and orders to go but we found a table to sit and dine in. I ordered the usual which is the two patty Lee's burger and my bf got their other signature burger. The fries came out first and they were perfect! They were super crispy and thick just how I like them. Our burgers came out next and they came out nice and hot! My Lee's burger was neatly wrapped up to keep it together because it was fully loaded! My burger was packed with bacon,peppers, grilled onions, fried egg and french fries and it was amazing! It was challenging to keep it together as I enjoyed every bite but I managed to devour it just fine. It really hit the spot!“

“Dudley Chateau is a blast from the past with a dive bar twist that'll surprise your taste buds while keeping the vibes chill and fun. The staff here aren't just attentive; they're part of the fun, making everyone feel welcome with their stellar service and easy smiles. When it comes to food, think dive bar meets gourmet—each dish is a flavor-packed journey that'll have you questioning how such culinary magic happens in a laid-back spot. I highly recommend trying their Buffa-que wings well done for a crispy, tangy, and slightly sweet experience that's simply unforgettable. Between the delicious surprises on the menu, the genuinely cool staff, and an atmosphere that screams 'good times only,' Dudley Chateau is your go-to for an unforgettable night out.“

“Sammy’s is the only place in Boston my boyfriend and I will go to for pizza - it is delicious. Not only is it made to perfection every time but the presentation is always spot on. I highly recommend- Philly steak & cheese- Hawaiian- Buffalo chicken (not pictured)Side note, getting it well done adds a nice extra crisp“

“Grilled cheese was really good and hit the spot, although I do feel like it's a bit overpriced for just a plain grilled cheese ($8). I was a bit disappointed in their vegetarian options and wish they had more fun grilled cheese options without meat. The friends I was with got the green munster sandwich which they loved and said was amazing. Service was great - everyone was super friendly! I do wish they were open a bit later - on a Friday night they closed at 11.“

“wish i could give 10 stars. first time at this location and i ordered on the tablets (along with 6 OTHER people putting orders in) and only waited exactly 7 minutes for my food (two burgers two fries 2 shakes) And everyone picking up mobile orders and walk-in orders were handled in a EXTREMELY time-responsive manner. the person manning the pickup window/counter was checking everyones name on their order and receipt. making sure the right items were inside their bags. the kitchen staff had absolutely no orders to make and they chatted for roughly 30 seconds before cleaning their stations and prepping for future orders. (everyones gotta take a quick breather now and then lol) some customers werent even out the building yet before their table was getting wiped. music is loud enough to hear, quiet enought to eat.“

“We went for the arcade which was a lot of fun. They have quite a few nostalgic arcade games and great drinks (jello shots in syringes, anyone?!).There are some tables scattered around the outside edge of the room and some chairs there or stools at the bar, but the main attraction is clearly the game floor with any manner of games from the pinball machines to Mortal Kombat and TMNT and even (my favorite) Mario Kart, among plenty of others. Anyone going should probably expect to be mostly standing since, while there is seating, there isn't much.TVs line the bar area for anyone relaxing with a drink and good music.The menu had food options though we didn't have any, we'd gone for the arcade and drinks.It's definitely a fun place for a night out or a date. I'm sure I'll be back.“

“Great neighborhood bar for a beer and some eats with friends. Reasonably priced and really excellent service. It can get loud when it's full, but the windows overlooking the street make it an overall inviting and comfortable spot. Definitely recommended.“

“Alta Strada has an updated Tuscany menu for the season. It is exciting and the food choices at Alta Strada are always outstanding! Also, the famous Alta Strada cocktail back and is better than ever. The service and atmosphere are both always top notch!“

“In Cityside Tavern, Julia takes her stand,A waitress with grace, service so grand.Her smile, a beacon, guiding the way,Through bustling tavern, night and day.With nimble steps, she weaves through the crowd,A symphony of service, voices allowed.Orders taken with a genuine cheer,Julia, the maestro, patrons hold dear.From steaming plates to drinks well-poured,Her precision, a testament adored.In Cityside's tapestry, a thread so fine,Julia's service, a cherished design.Tables set with care, each detail attended,A seamless dance, where her skills are splendid.Patrons delighted, their praises proclaim,For Julia's service, a beacon of fame.In Cityside tavern, where memories unfold,Julia's excellence, a tale to be told.A waitress so stellar, in service she shines,In Cityside's heart, where hospitality twines.“

“Got three tacos as they were on special - 3.50/ each. Dipped those bad boys in the tasty sauce. Everything was awesome. The staff were helpful. Tacos came with one tender with your heat level, on a tortilla, some sauce drizzled and their banging slaw. Will return to do a more traditional hot chicken meal and the fries. I played some NBA Jam too... Like this place I was on fire!“

“I've lived in the area for 29 years and this is my first time here had an awesome experience with Joe the bartender.. I learned about the history of the golf course, And the crispy chicken sand which, i can't wait to come back ? And try the golf range and the Bochi “

“Staff is very friendly and attentive. Food was great and despite inflation the prices are really affordable. I’ve been numerous times but only for takeout and I certainly will be coming back. I dined in the other day meeting up with a good friend of mine.“

“The calzone and pizza were yummy!The wings could have been warmer, but we just put them in the air fryer when we got home.The coxinha with cheese my husband loved!The empanada could have been filled with more meat, and I personally like mine with cheese. My husband loved it.The steak tips were cooked just right! Not a fan of the teriyakisauce, but id like to try the house marinade!Overall everything was tastey and we will return and try something new!“

“They have great grilled pork chop dinner. They are center cut and cooked to perfection. The fish on Friday’s is fresh and it’s good whether you get it fried or broiled. The staff there are great and friendly. You can eat on either side. One side is equipped with a full bar, 3 large TV’s and a Keno screen. The place is normally filled with neighborhood folks or people who grew up in Cambridge. It’s a great friendly atmosphere with great service and good food!“

“I can't complain about the price for the portion, one time I was able to make a gyro basket dinner, breakfast and then lunch. Personally I think the beef gyro is better than the chicken gyro but that's just because the chicken cubes are a little big.“

“Staff were super friendly, plenty of parking outside, and food selection was good too. You have to try thier mushroom burger but substitute it with regular meat burger pattie. It is out of this world with truffle oil on it. The calamari was excellent too.“

“This a great little food and ice cream restaurant with a ton of choices to satisfy whatever you're Kraving! Quality fried seafood, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, rice bowls, baskets, clubs, Greek food, pizza and a bunch of other stuff, especially really good ice cream! Tonight I had a turkey and bacon wrap. Simple yet delicious! Staff was friendly, place is clean. Family friendly atmosphere.“

“The food was tasty. The steak cooked to perfection and the homemade corned beef hash has great a great amount of meat so flavorful I’ll be definitely coming back. This was my first time here and they definitely didn’t disappointDietary restrictions: Gluten free options and they care to ask you if it’s allergy“

“Mel's is a busy, bustling diner with lots of great menu options. My family has frequented Mel's for many years. Their food is even delicious as takeout to eat at home! Their eggs benedict and bagel sandwiches are to die for. We also love their silver dollar pancakes.“

“Small place with great eats! My family and I loved everything we had. The burgers were good, a bit messy but still really tasty. I wish they had different veggie burger options. The patty was just okay but it was nice that you could put it on any burger you wanted. Our waiter was extremely attentive and knew what we needed before we could ask! We were seated quickly too which was a big plus!“

“I know y'all go for the chicken, which I have yet to try myself, but y'all. Y'all. You have to try their drinks! These are also made fresh to order and MORE than worth the wait!!!I checked this place out for the first time partly because my buddy has been here plenty of times and he vouched for it, yet he's never tried the drinks! I wanted an authentic milk tea, or just some kind of nice refreshing beverage from a local spot, you know? Well, I got what I came for, okay?!!I started out with the Fresh Black Grape Tea, which was definitely fresh and made right in front of me, and definitely grapey. I found it having a good amount of sweetness, and it's just an awesome drink to get. Simple as that. There are grape bits at the bottom, so if you aren't too keen on that type of texturized experience or potentially getting something stuck on your teeth in the middle of your hot date, you may want to refrain from ordering this one. Otherwise, ball out!The next jawns I got were the Strawberry Milk Tea and the Passionfruit Slush, because I couldn't just stop at one.The Passionfruit Slush was super different than what I expected. I'm unsure of if it was just how it was made when I went, but there was very little to almost zero sweetness to it. They also must have put milk in there. I didn't watch them make it, but that's kind of what it looked and tasted like. I would actually order this again. It was smooth and so... different! Lol~The Strawberry Milk Tea was my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. It looks exactly how I wanted it to look like, and it tasted even better!!! The whole thing was just FANTASTIC. It tasted CUTE! That's the only best way that I can put it. It is quite literally what it is called. Strawberry Milk Tea. It's light, refreshing and the flavor/sweetness I found to be right in between the black grape tea and the passionfruit slush. Just. Right.All in all, I obviously had a spectacular experience here and service was cool. I will be back for that strawberry milk tea specifically. Thank you.“

“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.

“It's a good local business right close by St. Elizabeth's hospital and the Brighton neighborhood for some pizza, subs, and calzones. The folks who work there have been friendly to it. I like the kitschy signs of relating pizza to happiness and other little things. Inside it looks a little dated by the pizzas produced here are solid. The main thing I'd change up is to have the resting slices in a stronger heating unit or one that's vertical instead. It loses its appeal and taste fast but ordered fresh it's good. Buffalo chicken is really good here and enjoy the toppings. Dough is alright - just a little too doughy and average but the toppings give it a great flavor. If they offered thin-crust brick oven pizza, I'd definitely try that as an option.“

“This is the best chicken sandwich I’ve had in a long time. I’ll be hard pressed to find a better chicken sandwich than this one and I welcome anyone to try this sandwich first then recommend one that is better. The chicken was cooked so perfectly the breading was light and real crispy, the meat was seasoned and super juicy. I generally don’t like raw onions (wasn’t listed in the description) but they complimented everything in the sandwich. Finally the spicy aioli was not spicy at all and it tasted more like honey mustard than anything else, to be honest I was cool with that because honey mustard is my go to for dipping my chicken nuggies or tenders in.“

“Ive been a client of this bar for 30yrs? -One word.. pastrami.. Their pastrami melt is out of this world.. All the food is fresh and really good actually.... Great cliental, amazing staff.. They have improved tremendously this past year.. . My only beef if that you can NOT expect to get a cocktail past 12:25am.. Im quite sure its NOT the bartenders fault.. Is what it is.. After 30 plus years of loyal patronage I still love the place.. Its a classic, huge square bar with excellent service.. What more can you ask for.. A legacy Rozzi bar.. ??“

“Oh God, the food is so good. They make the dish that I would say, after weeks of evaluation, is the best thing I have ever eaten. The food is 100% a reason to visit, but it checks all the boxes for me. Staff is warm, regulars are nice and chill, it's open and bright, they do events, good cocktails, and plenty of TVs. If it had a pool table I'd ask to move in or possibly propose marriage to the chef.“

“This is one of the best burgers I've had this far from a cattle farm. I love a true rare, and I ordered a grass fed burger rare and it was perfect. My partner ordered a medium and it was right on, not medium well, which is not easy. The sweet potato fries were crispy and fresh, too. Everything came out fast, though it wasn't busy. I don't understand how this place was so empty on a Saturday evening. It feels like stepping into the Midwest - plenty of space inside, I almost forgot I wasn't in Minnesota.“

“Stopped in for a quick drink before a show, I didn't get anything else and this spot is set up like a classic diner with a full bar. The food that passed by looked good and I was told to come back when I had more time. Maybe there will be a follow up trip in the future.“

“Famous for its mouthwatering burgers and fresh-cut fries, Five Guys is a go-to spot for burger aficionados. With a focus on quality ingredients and customizable options, each burger is made to order and bursting with flavor. The casual atmosphere and friendly service make it a favorite hangout for friends and families alike. Whether you're craving a classic cheeseburger or exploring their endless topping choices, Five Guys delivers a satisfying dining experience that's simply unbeatable.“

“This small pub makes you feel right at home in the first moment you walk in. Best service and American pub food in the Watertown area. Highly recommend coming in on Tuesdays or Thursdays for trivia. My wife and I went from the "living a few blocks down the road" to be a "regular couple ". Love, love, love!“

“The food and the atmosphere are very good. They do a good job of accommodating food preferences. I'm honestly not sure where they rank in pricing, because my friends and I enjoy gathering there. The service is usually good, but the place can fill up and that can slow things down a bit. For our friend group it's a "place where everybody knows your name"...lol“

“Bullpen clarified a situation and was very quick to respond to a concern I had related to using their entrance to get into the park and the treatment I received from Fenway staff. The issue was not with BullPen it had to do with the Fenway Park staff and the fact that my ticket was a student ticket. With that being said if you have a student ticket just be aware you more than likely will not be able to use this as an entrance to Fenway (Fenway related , nothing to do with Bullpen ) . Despite this minor detail that Bullpen so kindly clarified , I would highly recommend this place. In the short time I have been in Boston it's been one of my favorite places to go before and during the game.“
