50 Best Burger Restaurants near Metuchen

“What a gem of creative deliciousness! Definitely make reservations is you go on the weekend.“

“Best in Metuchen! Go! Now! You will not be sorry! Great meal, great service and of course you get to visit with the owner, Dario Barone. Nothing better.“

“My wife and I were here for the annual Valentine's Day dinner. We've been doing this for the last 6 years and we love the experience. But this year we reserved it for the Metuchen branch and were a little disappointed. They didn't do plates, no special drinks, no surprises, didn't have good decorations, table clothes were cheap, lack romance unlike our experiences at other White Castle's Valentine's Day. While the service was great they need to pick up their game with the place on this special day.“

“They catered a back yard bbq I was at and the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!“

“Our go to burger place, love their crispy chicken burger, look forward to their new milkshake flavors!“

“Amazing please to spend the evening and have amazing food, waited by the most amazing staff and owners.“

“Great burger! And the service was great as well. Love the location also.“

“I work there service with attitude“

“Excelente servicio para los clientes“

“RS Pizza Bites is just excellent. I've tried pizza from many of the well-known pizza chains across New Jersey, but RS Pizza Bites stands out as my favorite. Their vegetarian pizzas have an authentic Indian-style taste, excellent quality, and fresh ingredients. Once you try it, you'll keep coming back for more!
The prices are reasonable, and the customer service is always friendly and attentive.
For anyone looking for delicious Indian-style vegetarian pizza, I highly recommend RS Pizza Bites. I honestly enjoy their pizzas and i love mexican pizza and paneer tikka is my favourite now.“

“Great service from Doordash and nice job of getting the food to the customer so that's it hot. My fries were seasoned beautifully and the smashburger did not disappoint one bit. Just pure awesome food and it really lived up to the hype. Will be ordering from here again without any hesitation!!!!!“

“Was impressed with the decor, service and food. The BBQ burger was cooked perfectly! Made with fresh meat (not frozen formed patty) - not sure whst the English would be but I know it in Yiddish as “hockfleish.” The BBQ sauce added to the taste of the meat without being overpowering and the onion, pickle, lettuce and the challah bun were all extremely fresh. Looking forward to coming back snd trying the other choices!“

“Happy with my burger.“

“Nice spot with great vintage atmosphere and good burgers and shakes.“

“Freddy's is awesome. Best burgers in NJ.“

“I’m vegan and this restaurant offered so many plant based options that literally no other burger place/fast food restaurant does. I ordered the spicy vegan plant based chicken burger and it was so delicious. A very nice inclusive place that made me feel welcome.“

“I always love coming here, but Kayla is officially my favorite server! From the moment we were seated, she was so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. She made sure we had everything we needed, checked on us throughout our meal without being overbearing, and made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. Great customer service can really make a difference, and Kayla went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be asking for her the next time I come back. Thank you for such amazing service!“

“Stopped in for lunch at 30 Burgers, and let me tell you… hunger was making executive decisions before I even hit the counter. Thankfully, Angelina stepped in like a burger whisperer, helping me make my election—yes, election… because choosing between those burgers deserves its own campaign season—and placed my order with patience, warmth, and a smile.

The service was fast, friendly, and refreshingly human. Angelina made the experience easy and welcoming, which is becoming rarer than a perfectly cooked medium burger.

And the food? Let’s just say my burger disappeared faster than my willpower at a dessert menu. Fresh, flavorful, and worth every bite.

If you’re looking for good food and even better service, 30 Burgers gets my vote. Angelina for Burger Secretary of State. 🍔😂“

“We often go here and it's consistently good. The service is quick, and the servers are friendly and attentive. Recently they greatly expanded the vegan and vegetarian options, which were welcome additions to the menu. When the weather is nice, there's sidewalk seating and the entire storefront can be opened. Full bar and a decent draft beer selection, and there's a happy hour weekdays from 3-7.“

“Just ran through for a quick burger! Place is packed with a pumping event.
Mega good vibe from everyone. My burger was insanely good! Why the hell would I go to mc donalds instead of here!?! Its cheaper than a combo and absolutely hands down 10000$ better!!“

“wow..Great pleasure to spend time here..I strongly recommend this place..Food was very delicious..atmosphere was phenomenal...Home like taste with generous serving...“

“I really love the food and the way they care for customers . You definitely can tell that they are passionate about their food. Would definitely go back for more !!“

“I was told about Made Kitchen through my cousin in Georgia as this was something he saw on IG. So I had to check this out especially working so close by on Easton Ave. I visited Made Kitchen on 4/26 and again 4/27 and both times didn’t disappointed were super delicious. I got the King Caesar the first visit and Big Jerk Cheesesteak on the second visit. Both sandwiches are great in portions and I couldn’t finish it in one sitting. The King Caesar was fav for sure. That chicken was tasty and the lettuce was fresh. The Big Jerk was tasty as well. Jerk seasoning had the right of kick. So you can’t go wrong with either sandwich. I’ll probably get The Heavyweight or the Chopped Cheese next visit. TBD. But definitely hit this spot up if you in the area.“

“The best chili dogs we have found. Accommodating to my husband's crazy ideas and also the best party catering idea ever. Kid wanted hotdogs and chicken fingers for her graduation party and Joe put together the perfect package for us. thanks for everything!“

“First time back since 1973! Even better than I remember it. California cheese burger, fries and a soda. Served up in about 3 or 4 minutes, hot and fresh. I will not wait another 50 years to go back! LOL“

“There’s plenty of parking here because it’s a plaza. They’re open until very late so it’s super convenient.

I started coming here because I love the Linden location. Their food here however, isn’t that good. I don’t know what it is.

They added games to this location which is super fun! So I would recommend bringing families here to play board games and eat good food.

I personally love their cheese burger with pepper jack instead & seasoned fries with a strawberry milkshake. Their chipotle mayo is sooo good.“

“Oh, this is one of my most favorite places for a cheeseburger. To be honest, the don't look like much, but they taste so amazing. The French fries are also really good - I like to get them well done so they are crispy.

There is a Barnes and Nobel across the street. Behind White Diamond is Tarantella's, which always gets great reviews, so come and make a day of it!

Parking: Limited number of spots, bit usually enough.

Kid-friendliness: Only a few booths, but usually enough. Very kid-friendly food.“

“Hood food and a great staff! Located in what is about to become a very impressive town village

Kid-friendliness: More than welcome

Wheelchair accessibility: They have an ADA Compliant sidewalk and entrance“

“GREAT FOOD 👍👍👍👍👍 I really enjoyed eating there“

“The food is great and the staff is so friendly and accommodating!I look forward to going there often! Highly recommended!“

“The hot dog & hot sausage combo with the works is the best!“

“My wife and I like to get the burgers here which I rate as superior to most in the area, even the more upscale ShakeShack across the highway from them. The real star though are the fries and tater tots which are excellent. Their seasoning is perfect and they are always perfectly fried.“

“Perfect for kids, Plus the food is great!!“

“Collard greens that would make my granny proud, if she could try them, mac-n-cheese with the perfect amount of cheese (had a nice little pull to it) candied yams, and bbq chicken! Love the sauce. It has its own unique flavor. This was my first time trying Addy’s so I had to try at least three sides and none of them disappointed. I’m actually well pleased with my food and can finally say I’ve found a place nearby that caters to both my bbq and soul food cravings. THIS is good food cooked with lots of love and attention. The quality and portion sizes make it worth every penny. I must say, I really appreciated the collard greens. They were chopped well and I can tell they were thoroughly cleaned. These things matter.

Also, the establishment was very clean! I will be back.

10/10“

“Thank you for making the BEST cake!! I came in a few hours before graduation and asked to decorate the cake on each side. The woman who decorated the cake did an amazing job!“

“The food is good. very happy with service. chicken was delicious. plenty of parking at night“

“This is rough for me to write as I too, whole heartedly take these reviews very seriously. I really wanted to like Wonder, but our first experience was extremely disappointing. We waited almost hour for our food, and for at least 30 minutes we were repeatedly told it was “just being wrapped up and boxed” and would be out “any minute.” Unfortunately, that wasn’t true.

When we asked to cancel our order, the employee at the front repeatedly delayed helping us. She said she needed to get a manager, but instead of doing so, she continued telling us the food would be out soon. It felt like she was avoiding the situation rather than addressing it.

Once the manager finally came out, he was polite, apologetic, and professional. However, we still had to interact with the front employee, whose attitude came across as sarcastic, dismissive, and rude. We also witnessed her responding similarly to other customers. One customer was upset about his order, and she told him he should have used DoorDash. She also told multiple people, “You don’t have to wait 45 minutes—you can take a walk,” which only added to customers’ frustration.

It’s unfortunate that this was our first visit, especially because we brought family who were visiting from out of town. The food may be good, but the customer service and communication left a very poor first impression. I hope management provides additional customer service training so future guests have a better experience.

We never got to try the food but I didn’t feel right about giving you less stars, that seemed really unfair as I’m sure you’re all working so hard.“

“Amazingly delicious food with beautiful presentation and top notch quality and quantity! Love the environment, attentive/knowledgable staff, wait is beyond worth the food! Second time having lunch there with Addy personally coming around to make sure all customers were satisfied!“

“This is by far my favorite burger place. Everything always tastes fresh and the quality is always good. You can tell they actually care about the food. Their milkshakes are so good too. My favorites are the Dubai Chocolate, S’mores, Cherry Blossom when they had it, and Cookies & Cream. Their crinkle-cut fries are really good too. I always end up coming back.“

“Smashburger is always a solid choice when you’re craving a good burger. The burgers are juicy, flavorful, and made fresh to order. There are a lot of different options to choose from.. so it’s easy to find something you’ll like or even try something new. The smash technique really gives the patties that nice crispy edge while still staying tender inside. The fries are just as good - especially the smash fries with seasoning.. and everything comes out hot and fresh. The staff were friendly and the service was quick, which made the overall experience even better. Definitely a go to spot if you want something quick but still really satisfying.“

“Super excited to have a cool food spot for my friends & I! Personally my fav was the classic burger and butter chicken fries everything was delicious and we really liked the pricing. My friends loved the Nashville chicken sandwich and the jalapeño heat. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. Also the employees are really kind. I already love boba bites so this just a plus for me :)“

“Great place for Gyro sandwiches and platters.The food is simply delicious !!! 😊“

“Such a cute place, such a throwback, with excellent friendly service and great food! My burger and chili dog completely hit the spot and washing it down with their trademark rootbeer was such a treat! Can’t wait to come back!“

“Great food! Great service! Bella was our waitress for a party and she was great and so friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“Hotdog was very good, got the original Texas weiner. Place was very busy with only 1 server. She was trying her best but was overwhelmed. Atmosphere was loud and crowded. Well worth the trip for the weiner!!

Parking: Free street parking“

“Clean, and updated. Food was great and looked like the pictures on the menu. Management was customer friendly. Cool new uniforms. Great Experience!“

“My son and best friend spent Thanksgiving at this wonderful place and were delighted as the menu choices and service were exceptional ! Our wait staff was phenomenal and we couldn't have asked for more delicious prepared prime rib and Thanksgiving treats. Thank you for this cozy and perfect experience for our holiday.“

“Been going here for years with my family. Good food and friendly staff. I also belong to a Car Club and we go there on Friday nights during the car shows and Monday nights in the winter time. Allie is our Bartender. She's the best! 🍻
1/24/2026 Still going to Applebee's Friday night during the Car Show season and most Friday nights during the winter months. Alexa and Kait are our Top Notch Bartenders now 👍🍻. Allie left a while ago.
7/3/2026 Went to Applebee's tonight with my Car Buddies. The Car Show was canceled due to the extreme high temperatures. We had a good time eating at the Bar. Alexa and Meli were our Bartenders. Kait left for sunny Florida 🌞“

“Food was tasty and well presented, staff was friendly and helpful. Lots of options for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The fresh squeezed orange juice was delicious. We'll definitely be back.“
