50 Best Burger Restaurants near Montclair

“Decided to stop in after a tour visit to Montclair University and receiving a gift card for Christmas. Everything was delicious. We ordered brisket fries,cheese fries, smash patty melt, Montclair Blue Burger, build your own burger and 3 shakes. Everything was amazing including the burger buns (fluffy and airy). I wish they were closer to us, Old Bridge could definitely use a really good burger place.“

“What a burger!!! The National, soooooo good“

“Yummy Spicy Shrimp Pasta. I love it every time I come here :)“

“Their pizza is awesome and now I hear they expanded their menu to include hot sandwiches. Meatball parm, chicken parm. Garlic knots and salad too. I’m in heaven!!“

“Staff and food were both great! Definitely would go back.“

“The girl who served us… She needs to smile more. Her whole face brightens when she does.“

“I am celiac. They were quick to assure me that they take many precautions when preparing a burger on a gluten free bun. They said they had only one dedicated person working the separate gluten free station in the kitchen and pulled the worker aside in front of me to tell them it was an allergy order.

Fries are in a shared fryer so I couldn’t have them but it was so nice to have a good burger option! The bun was really soft but also didn’t crumble at all. Would recommend!“

“Pamela was great when every time I visit I would love to get her she did an excellent job!! GREAT JOB PAMELA!!!!!!“

“Had a wonderful lunch with my daughter and entire family today after my daughter’s graduation MSU Go Redhawks! Highly recommended for the amazing food and beautiful atmosphere!“

“Went to slap burger with my family, came from New York and stopped to try for the first time, hammad was more than amazing and so was the food. He even gave some extra food to go. Now that’s what I call top tier service, if he’s not a manager they need to seriously consider making him one. 🫶🏾“

“Burger is OK, but I just ordered a flash burger, which has a fried egg. Specifically asked them not to over fry the egg . And they do exactly what I ask him not to do. If you’re gonna put an egg on a burger like that, you might as well scramble it if you don’t know what over easy means. Definitely don’t waste your money if you want an egg on the burger. Because they definitely don’t make it right.“

“So today I update my review. The host is a handsome pleasant young man very helpful. Said he was from Jamaica. My server Lucy was friendly and enthusiastic. She waited patiently for our order. She suggested other meals and I took her advice. It was an over all good experience. I will come again.“

“Honestly, I don’t do reviews often, but this burger place knows how to do it, made my burger so fast I almost doubted it, but it tasted just as a smash burger needs to be and with the sauce 🔥, the cooks and staff are very welcoming, and I appreciated their work and wanted to personally support this business especially as a business owner myself“

“She was a friendly, attentive and caring. Would recommend her as a waitress and this IHOP location anytime“

“First time here. Just waking in and smelling the burgers I knew was gonna be good.Staff is very friendly fast service and very clean. Nothing like hot fresh burger sweet potato fries and had to try the onion rings. Definitely a place to try if in area.“

“First time back at a smashburger in years. The new bacon avocado ranch double stack is really good. Smash tots fresh and tasty. Was also very happy with the service from Johnathan. He was very attentive and even gathered our trash for us. Would definitely come again, glad to know the place hasn't lost quality over the years.“

“Omg this place is awesome! I have never noticed it before but my toddler and I walked by and the smell drew us in. I ordered the spicy burger and a plain burger for my toddler. We had the plain fries and I swear they must be cut fresh. They were soooo good. The burger was amazing. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The service was also spectacular. I almost never post reviews but my whole experience was totally worth the few mins it took to post this. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Just want to take the time out to say thank you to Camilla
For going above and beyond her pay rate and having so much gratitude, gratitude, and being a great employee to assist Deliverance, such as myself to make sure food is dropped off Correctly, I also think she deserves a raise or should be promoted to any higher position“

“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. 🍔😂“

“The Livingston CARS restaurant was small, but it was clean and quiet. The staff was very friendly and chatted with us a little bit before we left. We ordered take-out, and everything was well-packaged and clearly labeled so it was easy to sort out the items for our family members. The food was delicious and filling. We will definitely be ordering from here again.“

“We have frequented this location many times, but today a team member went above and beyond! Adonny was at the front ready and waiting to assist us, he was thorough and friendly! He also was the first one to ever tell us that our kids eat free on Wednesdays with a purchase of a regular meal!! We never knew that but really appreciated him telling us, as we took advantage! Will definitely keep coming back!“

“Food is super fresh and the owner is so nice and you can tell he takes pride in his food. Never had baliada before Mi Sabor and definitely a fan!“

“We visited this spot specifically for the pastrami, and it did not disappoint. It has a milder flavor compared to Katz's, which I actually prefer since it allowed me to finish the whole sandwich in one go. Katz's meat is so intensely flavorful that I usually need to take a break and cleanse my palate before I can finish later. This place is a fantastic alternative if you're in Jersey. The prices are reasonable, and the 8 oz option is perfect for satisfying your craving without breaking the bank. The Knish and macaroni salad were delicious as well. They give you delicious pickles. We’ll definitely be returning often. Update January 2026. Stopped by for some pastrami sandwiches. They are still delicious and worth every penny. Hot dog special this week, $2.00. They were flavorful with an awesome snap.“

“Best burgers around try their tater tots Typical bar hang out with good food“

“What great service at this location. Between our waitress Diamond and GM Natasha, we can’t say enough about them.“

“Novas is super underrated the food is amazing and the menu has a lot of variety.The inside is nice and they are always playing the best music there.The staff is super nice and very attentive its a great place to go and talk or to even do homework.I usually get a bacon egg and cheese and it’s always so good.One of the best I have ever had I would definitely recommend eating here or even just grabbing a coffee to go but Novas is the spot to go too for sure.W service W food“

“Absolutely amazing! We ordered two chicken burgers with fries, and everything was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the burgers were made perfectly. The fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and paired great with the meal. The service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. Definitely one of the best halal burger spots around—we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Everything was awesome—great food, perfect service, and an owner who truly makes you feel welcome. One of the best spots in Wayne, NJ. Smash burgers, pizza, and fries were all on point, especially the smash burgers. Amazing value for the price“

“loved it.. 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓“

“Delicious food. Fresh, tasty, high quality ingredients. Huge portions. Great low key atmosphere. Joe, the owner, was welcoming, full of suggestions, and was a great person to talk to. Will definitely be going back.“

“They offer Thumanns hot dogs (either all beef, or beef/pork mix). they are ripped like Rutts in the deep fryer. Mine had a perfect snap.
They also have banana peeppers which you dont see at many hot dog joints. I will return when im in the area, but onward with the tour.
1 dog with spicy brown and banana peppers was about $5.“

“The best food around!!!!! I eat here every week and never get tired of it! Going to get that chicken wrap today! With a side of wingz!“

“Craving something delicious? I just had an amazing experience with White Castle. Seriously, the food was top-notch, and the folks working there were super friendly. You absolutely have to try the Garlic Cheese Sliders – they're a game-changer. It’s always a good idea to treat yourself to some White Castle.

Hefty approved“

“Súper rápido .recién hecho y las papas y la hamburguesa deliciosa 🥰Super fast service, freshly prepared food and delicious potatoes, THANK YOU“

“Shamsiyat was an outstanding server at Applebee’s! From the moment we were seated, she was welcoming, attentive, and incredibly professional. She checked in regularly, made sure our drinks were always refilled, and made the entire dining experience enjoyable. Her positive attitude and excellent customer service really stood out.“

“Great sit down burger place. Burger was delicious and the fries a thinly sliced which I recommended over thick slices because you get to finish your meal and have room to breathe. 10/10 would go back again. I had the Hawaiian burger and it’s becoming my new favorite.“

“los burger, el ambiente“

“One of the best burgers in the county. Freshly made to order to your liking. The Lodi location is super clean with a friendly atmosphere. I've never had a disappointing experience. Reasonable price and I highly recommend you visit Smashburger.“
