50 Best Burger Restaurants near Watertown

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“The food is always fresh and delicious! Love the ‘Shroom burger and the crinkle-cut fries.“

“Happened to be in Watertown, googled nearby restaurants for lunch and Halfway cafe came up as a suggestion. It was only a mile away, so I decided to try it out. In business since 1964, it turned out to be a lively place with friendly staff and good food. I ordered a beer, which came with a small bowl of movie theater popcorn to much in while I waited for my grilled chicken sandwich. I enjoyed my yummy lunch while watching the French open on one of the large screen tv’s. A nice place to hang if you find yourself in Watertown.“

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

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

“As a huge NKOTB fan my family stopped in for a shirt and desert. We had the best service from Jen. The service and food was so good we went back the next night. David was just as fantastic as Jen. Both nights Mark the manager stopped by and chatted. He was also great. Can’t wait to come back!!“

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

“Best burger in Boston !!!“

“Ordered this delivery and it did its job. The chili cheeze dog was my favorite. But the crabby burger and the BBQ mushroom burger were both tasty as well. Even got a strawberry shake. The sizes are pretty small but the food tasted good. Reminds me of heart house or plant power in LA. Does its job for a quick bite Updated from previous review on 2025-07-25“

“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.

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

“Had a burger here the other day might have another today lol. Burgers are tasty, love the wings also and the fries here. Great order for a night in when watching the Patriots or celtics game. Great staff and food. Oh also sidenote get the double burger well worth it.“

“Old fashioned fast food! Delicious!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came as a guest...not certain how one finds this place, but a place it IS! Group of us left an event at the park up the street a friend recommended a stop here...some how we landed in the parking lot across the drive and wandered into what felt like a large closet. YES, we serve food and a wide variety for the casual counter we're standing in front of. This appears to be a golf club food shack. Clearly, this venue is not run by the club; but, by restauranteurs who know the drill. Reading the reviews...seemed fair except their low hype and big delivery charmed us to returning and returning. Hemlock offers the best of all seasons...Food...Decks for the Summer afternoons and cozy fall vibe inside to drink the winters away...to get back on those decks.“

“Easily my favorite stop every time we are in Boston. You will never leave here hungry! The burgers are the best around and if you can manage a shake afterwards you will not be left disappointed. I highly recommend making a visit. Juliana and Paul will make you feel like the real MVP during your visit!“

“Best chicken bites! Highly recommend ♥️“

“Great experience on Labor Day weekend. We sat outside and counted people carrying desks up chestnut hill avenue after a long live in day! Service was excellent and the food was warm and serviced to order, Excellent place to celebrate any occasion! Thanks Cityside, you never disappoint.“

“After a long time hearing about the 420 burger's 4:20 special, where you can get a 420 burger for $4.20 with purchase of a drink, i had to finally give it a try and it did not disappoint, at all!. From the moment i entered all the way to the moment i left, the staff and the waiter Max were superb! Very attentive and very easy to talk to, he understood right away when i came in asking about the 420 promotion at 4:45, he got me to a table and took my order right away with no delay. The atmosphere is pretty laid back. It wasn't full. Its a nice small restaurant. I love the open view of outside, so you get a nice breeze on a summers day. The food was scrumptious and it did not disappoint and it fills you up very fast. They have lots of burger options so try them all!! I highly recommend 10/10.“

“Love so much about this place, the food is really good - the staff are so nice and friendly. They make you feel welcome. Love our Sunday brunches here.“

“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!“

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

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

“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 “

“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!!“

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

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Delicious chicken sandwich“

“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!!“

“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.“

“This place is wonderful!!! Great food, and decor. Even the Ladies bathroom is chill. Shout out to Sam our server who was so cool! Definitely coming back :)“

“Great experience here for sure! Tried shake shack for the first time this afternoon, gentlemen at the front counter was extremely friendly and had a great personality while keeping a sense of humor and professionalism at the same time. Definitely will be back. Food was great as well!“

“Quick and friendly service!“

“My go-to spot was too busy for takeout tonight, so I tried this place. I must say their steak tips were amazing and I now found a new go-to place! Delicious!“

“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“
