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“

“Went this evening to try this new place as I was graving some shawarma. Had a beef shawarma that came with olives and pickles. Flavor was very authentic Middle Eastern in both the shawarma and pickles. I also had their fattoush which was very good. 2 people can easily be served from both the shawarma and fattoush! Overall, good food, nice place. Will be back.“

“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.“

“Best service and affordable Price!“

“Some of the best burgers and staff. Delicious fries. What a great environment inside. My family highly suggests bun buddies“

“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.“

“Amazing food and especially amazing service. Perfect spot for a late night get-together with friends to grab a very enjoyable bite. If you’re lucky, you’ll get yourself caught up in an honest, heart to heart conversation with some of the nicest workers you’ll meet.“

“Las hamburguesas 👍🏼 estaban riquísimos y las papas con tocino“

“If you need a quick and satisfying meal near the gate, this spot is perfect.

I placed an order for pickup, and it arrived quickly — just in time before my flight started boarding.

The burger tasted exactly like other Shake Shack meals I’ve enjoyed — juicy, flavorful, and consistent. Prices are a little higher, which is expected at an airport, but the quality makes it worth it.

Overall, a reliable and tasty choice for a fast casual meal on the go.“

“Not sure why negative comments , I have been coming here for a couple weeks now and the food is amazing and fresh they even make the buns fresh. My favorite is the grilled chicken sandwich. The staff is also very nice“

“I ate a really good hamburger here for the price of a fast food hamburger. Please support local small businesses. This is a cash-only place with an ATM available.“

“Popped in after our son’s soccer game. All our meals were fresh and exactly how we wanted! The food was delicious and prices were spot on. Thank you, Paul. We will absolutely be back.“

“The cashier was very welcoming very professional and very sweet! Loved her energy and enthusiasm. Homemade drinks were delicious. Food was fresh and hot. Did not take long for my food to come out. 10 out of 10!! definitely recommend coming here!“

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

“Always see their sign driving up 17, finally decided to stop in for lunch and I am HOOKED. Jaffar is a super sweet guy, very helpful in explaining the menu, and the flavor is out of this world. Best burger I've had in a long time! Gourmet burger at a reasonable price“

“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.“

“As I and my spouse walked in, we was greeted very happy very warm knowing that it was like 1030 at night but they were happy to see us. It was kind of slow but what impact me most is I do not know that they don’t take $50 bills, but this cashier that says that she’s a supervisor when above and beyond and took my $50 bill and made my service so warm and fulfilled my needs when above and beyond for us great experience, awesome communication she deserves and applause for Her great customer service around that time at night. She had a great attitude.
Cashier MARLIN AWSOME 👍🏼“

“Amazing and tasty food!! Great service and great prices! High quality meats and chicken, all halal, with proper certificates!“

“Great burgers (as expected), but come here when they have the Colorado burger. One of the best burgers I've ever had. It was so good that I had to have a 2nd one immediately after finishing my 1st.
Just get the regular fries too. The cheese fries are pretty OK because the cheese sauce is not great. Also, the shakes are good but pretty expensive.“

“This place man let me tell you phenomenal I love the staff so hardworking and awesome genuinely the best people EVER. The SECOND I came in the staff were welcoming me mad wit feel like home 🥹. The place clean my stomach full milkshakes are to die for.. Amazing restaurant you guys HAVE to try the chicken sammies“

“Smash City is actually really good. The burgers are fresh, juicy, and full of flavor with that perfect crispy edge. You can really taste the difference. The fries and fudge chocolate brownie are solid too, not just thrown together. The vibe is nice and the place is really clean, which makes it even better. The menu is simple but everything tastes fresh. I’d definitely go back.“

“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.“

“Came here for breakfast and was served by the lovely Donnette. She worked our side the WHOLE time my boyfriend and I came here to eat by time we left. Food was yummy and hot, I had the Southwest Chicken Burrito with a side of buttermilk pancakes and a hot coffee. Vibes were chill and quiet, and Donnette was quick while serving over 8 tables at a time which. Well deserving of praise and well tip. Will come again.“

If you are walking on the boulevard or in town this is the spot to go !!“

“Great fried chicken !!! highly recommend !“

“Holy Burger in Woodland Park has become a go-to spot for our family and honestly it never disappoints. We’ve tried almost everything on the menu at this point and every visit hits. What really sets this place apart is how inclusive the menu is they have a solid selection of gluten free and vegan options that actually taste amazing, not like an afterthought. The vegan chopped cheese is genuinely good, not just “good for vegan food.”“

“Great food and drinks! Very pretty inside.“

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

“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.“

“When I tell you I have probably not been in a White Castle for over 10 years I mean it. The only reason I went in there was for the mozzarella sticks and without a doubt in any fiber of my body I can confidently say, they are one of the best mozzarella sticks that truly stayed around. Not only that the service was phenomenal! For what seems to be a fast food place I was received with open arms and nothing less thank you to everyone in that crew which has helped me build a positive perspective on White Castle once more. Just another reason I should visit again. I also highly recommend to anyone coming here to try out the mozzarella sticks!“

“los burger, el ambiente“

“Seems to be hit or miss. When I ordered my scorching shrimp roll, all I got was the shrimp. I had to let the employees know that I ordered a shrimp roll and they apologized and took the shrimp and put it on a roll with all the toppings. Pretty cool staff and the place is clean. The location is pretty convenient as it's right by a wawa with an ev charging station, interstate 80 and route 17.“

“Ooof!! THE BEST BURGER AND FRIES ever! GET OUT!! (Writing this review while waiting for my delivery.)

I’m from LA and I’ve tried a few places here in NY/NJ after I moved and I keep trying new burger joints but never settle with anyone because it was almost there, but just never hitting home for me!

Let’s just say, if I could make their burgers, my wallpaper, I would! …… Okay, I just did.

Please support this business so they don’t shut down and I can keep getting my burgers from them. Only them. Everyone else can step aside.

No photo. Sorry. I ate it.“

“los mejores beger que e peovado en us“

“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.“

“I was there last night for dinner and had their Teriyaki Charburger (which was AMAZING, btw), and this was my 2nd visit at the Fair Lawn location. The service was great, and it was really nice seeing the crew get complimented (publicly), for a job well done. I think that is something we need more of. It helps boosts their morale and continue to do a great job. It’s because of great service like that, which is why I’ll make a return there again. #PhenomenalJob“

“This place is absolutely phenomenal without a doubt one of the best burger spots around! The burgers are incredibly juicy and flavorful, the fries are perfectly crispy, and the mozzarella sticks are golden, cheesy perfection plus the portions are huge, the whole experience feel welcoming and unforgettable. 🍔🍟🧀✨“

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