50 Best Burger Restaurants near Watertown

“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.“

“Fast service and food is amazing every time!“

“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.“

“One of my favorite dive bars with an amazing summer menu. Lobster rolls and clams for a decent price, good portions and no wait AND you don't have to drive into the city for any of it ?? Trivia nights are also great, but sit closer to the guy because it's the pen/paper/ runner style instead of the modern ones where you submit on your phone. I love the staff here, they always get the job done right.“

“Simply the best burger in town! And don’t miss the city best Raspberry Lime Rickey.“

“One of the best Beyond Meat burgers I have had. The fries were super crispy and crunchy which I loved. I got the Steakhouse burger which had mushrooms and caramelized onions on it. It was actually a sad comparison to the beautiful picture on the menu with very few mushrooms and small bits of crunchy onions. It didn’t look great but it tasted delicious.

“This place brings back memories. Still the BEST burgers in Beantown! 5 stars!!“

“This small, independent burger joint near MIT felt like stepping back into the 1950s. With its retro vibe and even an arcade, it’s the kind of place where the staff are friendly, and the people seem to know each other—it doesn’t feel corporate at all. It gave me the feeling of walking into a scene from Happy Days. The double chicken sandwich was tastier and better-priced than anything from the big chains, and the truffle fries were absolutely delicious. My only regret? I forgot to take photos (but I'll be back so no matter)! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy, laid-back spot with authentic charm and great food.“

“Best chicken bites! Highly recommend ♥️“

“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.“

“I don’t have a single complaint with the food or our server, Oscar. Everything we ordered was delicious. I was a deep dish pizza skeptic until the Alice Pizza arrived. I’m a convert. We started with suppli, Caesar salad, followed by entrees of scallops, carbonara, thin crust mushroom pizza and rigatoni. Dessert was rice pudding and olive oil cake. Thank you Josephine’s!“

“This place is hands down the best fried chicken in the greater Boston area, and it's not close. They also make a great fish and chips, and an exceptional biscuit. Their green salad is pretty darn solid also. Never had a meal that was less than fantastic here.“

“Bred is typically a lunch option to order at work so I have never actually been in person until last week. Decided to randomly stop in with my partner and the food was delicious! Had the jerk wings, cousin stizz fries and the 504. Definitely a must try!“

“My first time in Boston and this place was definitely a favorite. Great food, great beer and everyone made you feel welcome. Relaxed environment to just hang out. The quesadillas are definitely a top favorite. 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 “

“Breanna was an amazing server for me and my friends. She was on top of everything and gave us excellent service. Drinks came out right away, food didnt take long , checked in on us, also listed the specials, which I ended up ordering! Definitely coming back to Boston Burger. Breanna gave us a wonderful experience.“

“amazing place...Javan is the best and beautiful employee“

“Been to this location twice due to it being easy to park and get in and out of. Great location and the food is always amazing. Right from the apps to the meal you can’t really go wrong with any of it. I try to go every time I’m in the area because it never disappoints!“

“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.“

“Loved every minute of my experience. My wife and I sat at the bar, ordered drinks and food. The staff were very friendly and the food was fantastic. Higher recommend stopping in or reserving a table. Old fashion was on point and the brunch burger was fantastic.“

“Get here early to get a seat and enjoy a delicious meal. Went on a Tuesday night and it was packed. Fortunately my friend and I were walking in just as a cpl were leaving the bar. Conor our bartender was outstanding, never had to wait for anything. Ordered App of MB, Bolognese with rigatoni, and the skillet Mac n Cheese. Food was perfectly cooked and flavorful. We plan to come back and try other items from the menu. Also, we met some very nice locals to chat with, Cheers!“

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

“With a party of 4 we arrived at Cityside to have our last meal before flying back to the UK after 4 weeks in New England and Canada.
The Farmers Market Brunch bowl and Maple and Cinnamon pancakes were to die for.
I must give credit to our server too. Izzy is outstanding. Cheerful chatty efficient and knowledgeable. She was a joy and both the food and Izzy left a lasting impression of a fab 4 weeks and beautiful 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.“

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

“Mainely Burgers was an absolute hit at our wedding! Their food was not only delicious but also a unique and memorable experience for our guests. The crew was also super friendly! The truck itself was beautifully decorated and added a fun, casual atmosphere to our wedding. We would highly recommend Mainely Burgers to anyone looking for a delicious and unforgettable food experience!“

“A man cashier told me he was Lee and that he was the guy who really owns this place, wow! Can you believe that I met a guy who is a SBA? ( small Business Owner)? Burgers were tasty“

“Quick and friendly service!“

“Old fashioned fast food! Delicious!“

“Best BurgerKing Experience Ever
Kareem made sure to get our order correctly. He also when I asked him if I could change my drink , no only did he change it without charge he gave me and my wife a size higher. For a Burger king that used to be one in my eyes that I used to avoid coming too, is now one Im gonna keep coming too. Great Work!!“

“Fun cool and comfortable creative“

“A chance walk by led to a beautiful experience. All Irish pubs in my future will now have this as a measuring stick. Two words Bangers & Mash…my gawd!!“

“Awesome burger and the fries were delicious too!“

“Great Dominican Food! It’s generous portions and fresh. Staff are very friendly and accommodating (For English Speakers, there might be a language barrier, they speak mostly Spanish depending who’s there.) Only issue I have is please set up a menu with firm prices, whenever I go there sometimes prices fluctuate and it can be a bit deceiving at times to the customer. But, overall I do recommend for anyone trying to try Dominican food and looking for good portions in a inflated economy for food prices. Also, PLZZ PUT CHICHARRÓN CON YUCA OUT MORE OFTEN, it’s good but y’all run outttt :(

Parking: Good amount of parking there, just be careful you aren’t parked where the residents for Charlestown are.“

“Delicious chicken sandwich“

“I came to eat after seeing the ad. This fried chicken wings is really delicious, very Chinese fried chicken taste. I have eaten the best fried chicken in the Boston area. It is worth coming back. I will introduce friends around to eat.“

“Damn good“

“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!“

“I adore this Tasty Burger location — my go to place for chicken nuggets and fries. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating, and service is quick and attentive! Treated myself to a late night snack after work today, and it really made my day. ?“

“Great staff and food! I will be there again!!!“

“Easy online ordering, order done perfectly. At the last minute I de idea too hot to cook or go out to celebrate our anniversary so ordered on-line. Everything was perfect!“

“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.“

“They have the best Nepali food around the town! Great food, always fresh & delicious! Unlike many places, they prepare separate broth for chicken and pork soup dishes. Pork thuppa & chicken thuppa have delicious different broth so it’s great for people who do not eat pork.“
