50 Best Burger Restaurants near Swampscott

“This is a really good five guys.It's very quiet in here and very clean. The staff is extremely nice and the orders are always very fresh. If you want a place in the area, that's not that busy.But the quality is good. I would head here. It is my go to roughly once a month.“

“This place far exceeds its 4.3 stars. After reading some of the negative reviews, most of the complaints honestly don’t seem very valid. The burgers here are fresh, flavorful, and consistently good.

Yes, they can get busy, and that sometimes affects timing, but what restaurant today isn’t dealing with staffing challenges? What stood out to me is that many of the servers have been there a long time, and as someone who spent nearly 30 years in hospitality, that says a lot about the place.

Don’t let the star rating make your decision for you. Give this spot a shot, you probably won’t regret it. The Royal with Cheese is my go-to every time.“

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

“Had a vegetarian burger which was good but kind of pricey.. Was bummed they were out or coleslaw when I came. I’d rank them decent for eco-friendliness.. I noticed they use plastic straws and condiment containers..
They did fulfill my request of no straw though.“

“** AMAZING ** burger(s). Why isn’t this place PACKED!!?…. Got the “Wellington” burger with the most AWESOME onion rings of my lifetime - PERFECTLY MADE and PRESENTED WITH FLAIR! Stunningly delicious combo of flavors with the crumbled blue cheese dressing and lime….. WHO KNEW. ** LOVED EVERYTHING **. Well done, Gordo!!“

“We have never been disappointed with the attitude and professionalism of the staff at RV Burger today was no exception. The food was delicious with healthy portions. Our server was kind, professional and accurate. We pray that each one of you who read this review will be reminded that all this delicious food is a gift to thank God for. And the best gift you could ever have is when in his love he sent his son Jesus to die for your and my sins on the cross, and if you believe in him you would not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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)!“

“I was working in the area and stumbled across this place. I work all over New England and eat delicious foods. I just had the double x Burger and now I don't even remember any other burgers I ever had. Absolutely incredible. Unbelievable. It came with some condiments which I didn't need any of. So juicy and the flavor was amazing.“

“I am a long time customer (1975) Nick's is absolutely the best there is! Once when I had a broken leg, Nick helped me (and my sandwiches etc.)out to my car. Not only great roast beef but compassionate!😍“

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

“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.“

“First and probably last time visit as I live 20-25 hours away by plane. I'll be here (writibt this review as I'm sitting here), Chill vibes owners and the customers, solo or groups would work either way, soul food soul drinks, real stuff, not just commercial mba marketing generic stuff, thumbs up to owners, keep going and for the long time customers - it's a gem and you know it too.“

“Quick and friendly service!“

“I hosted our office event at Double Bull last night, with Musical Bingo in the Avalon room. It was absolutely fantastic! From the service to the food to the drinks! Our server, Jackie, is the sweetest and so accommodating! Rebecca the House/Event manager was a doll! She was so considerate, helpful and detailed oriented in planning the event. She even had our company logo on the menu! The office will be talking about this one for a long time. Thanks ladies from all of us!“

“Great food and great service!“

“Delicious chicken sandwich“

“Was at Longboards recently for a family event - they were incredibly accommodating and created a customized cocktail for the occasion. It was a hit with everyone in attendance! Thank you to Hayley and the team at Longboards - we will be back!“

“Okay. I had a quick judgement that this place was going to be overpriced and not that good but I was craving chicken tenders they had a deal for 3 and fries. I was not prepared for how..... Crazy good they were going to be. The chicken strips were a great size and the fries were cooked and seasoned just right. I'm gonna put my foot in my mouth as I will be returning again for this. Great job“

“Working with you, Ralph Carico, has been an absolute blessing. Your signals and strategies have consistently yielded profitable trades, all without any withdrawal fees. I can't express enough gratitude, Ralph, and I wholeheartedly recommend your legitimate and trustworthy services to others. Don't hesitate to add Ralph Carico to your trading network.“

“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.“

“Was not busy. Food good, a fair price given the state of the economy these days. Counter folks friendly. Generally clean compared to many fast food establishments in the area. (Some maintenance needed in men's restroom, doorlock broken)

Parking: Parking is at an open air mall. One needs to be cautious with other drivers careening across the lot w/o regards to stop signs., using the lot as a shortcut to other neighboring areas & stores.“

“Great service amazing staff“

“the food was great! love the wall art inside.“

“Great place,food and service. Owner Kevin and staff makes you feel like family“

“This place is Everett’s hidden gem. I’ve been here a couple of times and the ingredients and quality of the burgers can’t be beat. The staff are so kind and attentive. If you’re craving a good local burger, this is the spot.“

“Sarah was an amazing bartender and made me 2 amazing cocktails and was nothing short of helpful when I wrestled about what to eat since I'm trying to eat my way in seafood while I'm in New England.
The live jazz band: incredible. Talented. Passionate about their music. Its been a while since I've seen the full room of people applaud so vigorously for a live band. Not a polite clap, they meant it and these guys earned it. If I lived here, I would definitely be a regular and I'll definitely be back given the chance!“

“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“

“Just grabbed a 3 way from Nicks on Essex. This place is a 9.2. Beef was top notch. Online ordering was a breeze. It was ready when I arrived. Friendly staff. I’ll be back! 😋“

“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!!“

“My husband and I had a perfect cozy meal here during our Marblehead getaway! The food was tremendous & the service was excellent - I could tell this place makes everybody feel like regulars :) Would absolutely stop by here again on our travels!“

“I stopped in for the first time today and I was not disappointed! I got a steak & cheese and it was amazing. The bread was the best I’ve ever had. And I’m assuming it was the owner but he gave me a slice of pizza to try and oh my it was perfect. It’s a 10 out of 10 for me!!“

“The BEST around! Thankful to Paul and his staff for everything!“

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

“I finally got a chance to try MrBeast Burger and I am so glad I did! I went for the classic Beast Style burger, and honestly, it was delicious. The smashed patties were perfectly cooked with crispy edges, the cheese was melted just right, and all the toppings came together to make a seriously good burger.
I just want to give a big shout-out and thank you to MrBeast and all the employees of MrBeast business who work hard to get this amazing food out to everyone. The quality and taste really show you guys care.
You're awesome MrBeast burgers! Keep on serving the delicious burgers!“

“Authentic Southie.The way it should be.“

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

“Had a great experience today! Kind service, 3 great chicken sandwiches.“

“visitted this place on my first day in US. Their food was really nice.“

“We loved our food. Peter was the best server. He made us feel comfortable and made sure we had everything. He checked on us too to make sure. Thank you Peter. He is the best. Saw Peter again this week. He is the best waiter. I owe him a extra tip next time. Greatest server ever.“

“10/10 customer service the best experience I’ve ever had at a fast food restaurant great job to the white manager/supervisor and that great Colombian young male that’s working in the drive thru and Sammy she’s amazing love the crew definitely will be back!!“

“Just a follow up to my recent review about this DQ concerning delicious and sweet ice cream. We could easily forget the One who made the cows who gave us milk and cream and taste buds to appreciate it. There is no sweeter news than Jesus who was sent by God in his love to die for your sins on the cross. If you believe in him he promises that you would not perish but have eternal life and be with him forever. Please never forget who is so much sweeter than the ice cream. He loves you! John 3:16“

“Mia our was not only our cashier but she also took our order. She was kind and had a great smile. We thank God for her which is a reminder that each person can make such a difference. The best example is Jesus who demonstrated God’s love when he came to earth to die for your and my sins in the cross and by believing in him you would not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16“

“love ur fries. omg they r the best. Burgers r good. always tasty Place always clean. Friendly service“

“Beautiful!! Amazing show !!!“

“Five Guys makes one of the best burgers out there, and the beef patties are consistently solid.

My only concern is that the bacon and beef patties are often cooked very close to each other, which may be a concern for customers with dietary restrictions, religious considerations, or sensitivities. I hope they consider keeping pork products more clearly separated from the beef cooking area.

Overall, the burgers themselves are excellent.“

“placed and order said no tomatoes cause im allergic get my sandwich tomatoes all over it fill my soda up take a sip and it doesn't taste like soda I say something to the guy working he says sorry I came in to this mess didnt fix any of it. burger king on 128 SMH NEVER AGAIN... I wouldn't even give them 1 star but I have to only way to leave a review.“

“Whopper Jr., but NO MAYO! Best chain burger there is.“

“OH MY GOD. Their food is just breathtaking. Personally, I really like their bread - especially their crossiant.For anyone in Chelsea or near the Boston area, you should defientely go here. The service is amazing, the atmosphere is just so soothing. They have a lot of different varieties of food - from delicious breads, beautiful cakes, fresh made juice and more. Defientely recommended and will be going back :)“
