50 Best Burger Restaurants near South Orange

“I have eaten nearly all types of fast food burgers. But these guys make them all look and taste horrible!!! Meat had flavor!!!! Real flavor!!!! The toppings on my burger were fresh, delicious and crunchy!!! The quality was on point and they are quick too!!! I’m a new regular customer for life now!!!!“

“Best service and affordable Price!“

“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.“

“Slap Burger definitely lives up to its name — every bite slaps! Their tenders are incredibly juicy and perfectly seasoned, the fries are crispy and golden, and the loaded fries are a flavor bomb worth every calorie. Don’t miss their shakes either — thick, creamy, and the perfect sweet finish to a savory meal. A must-try spot if you’re craving comfort food done right!“

“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.“

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

“A friend of mine extolled the virtues of Shake Shack back in the day when they were in the park in NYC and had cameras set up so you could see how long the line was. Now there are bunches of them and they're all pretty good; some are just better than others. This one at EWR Terminal A is one of my favorite airport Shacks and I think does a better job than most. The atmosphere is very chill and they serve beer. Grab a window booth and watch the planes arrive at and push back from the gates.“

“I love smashburger so much.
I drive all the way from Staten Island to enjoy a meal. I love the Raitan Clark location. They have good customer service and always warm and welcoming. I was greeted by Grace who helped me complete my order.“

“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“

“excellent place recommended excellent service and very friend⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“it was good“

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

“Being allergic to gluten makes dining out extremely challenging. I can finally eat a friend chicken sandwich again and it’s an amazing feeling! Not only that, but the gluten free bun and breeding are amazing! Thanks so much for giving a darn about a forgotten part of the population.“

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

“Great first time Dining at Captial Craft, experience was amazing, even thanked the chef for the wonderful food.“

“The food is so good. The burgers are delicious and the fries were seasoned well. But the service is where I have some complaints. The person at the cashier had an earbud in and was talking to a friend, and didn’t acknowledge customers much. That part was a little disappointing.“

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

“Had a fabulous time at this IHOP location, served very quickly and had the best customer service from a worker by the name of Cliff. He effortlessly made us, the guests, feel welcomed as if we’d entered a humble abode. I commend IHOP for having such a great workforce!“

“I broke my summer fast from meat tonight with a smash burger—and it did not disappoint. Even though they forgot the ketchup, the burger was loaded with enough smack sauce to more than make up for it. Nothing beats a sloppy, juicy burger paired with a side of tots and finished off with a rich peanut butter milkshake. Solid 8.8/10.“

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

“Great food and drinks! Very pretty inside.“

“Calidosas Burger exceeds expectations with their outstanding service and pristine environment. From the moment you step through the door, the employees greet you with genuine care and respect, ensuring your dining experience is nothing short of delightful.

The cleanliness of the establishment is impeccable, reflecting their commitment to maintaining a high standard of hygiene and comfort for their patrons.

I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking not only great food but also a welcoming and well-managed dining environment. It's no wonder they earn a solid five stars.“

“They have great burgers, cooked well done and fresh; my favorite being the El Paso burger. And a good variety of shakes...coconut, cherry, mango, and caramel. The coconut one slaps different.🤤👍 It was great to see this spot replace the golden arches that was there before, big level up to that downtown Newark, NJ area.“

“Great Burgers & Grilled Cheeses“

“Love!!!! This place, excellent quality food, great service and chill vibe atmosphere. With wi-fi service available. Great spot to read a book, work on your laptop. Great coffee and deserts!!! Must try their lemon aid!!! Or you can order take-out (lunch and dinner options). Hello, why are you not here already?“

“This place is right next to the Hamptonn Inn in Elizabeth which is pretty convenient. It wasn't super busy and they sit you down quickly with some good drinks. Our server seemed newer at her job, or perhaps not very good but the food was pretty tasty we had no complaints. \n\nIt's not fine dining but unless you want to eat at the food court at Jersey Mills or IHOP, this was the best option we found.“

“Smashburger in Clifton offers a welcoming and lively dining experience. The atmosphere is vibrant, with plenty of TVs playing football games, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal while catching up on sports. The large mural of the New York City skyline adds a stylish and local touch that elevates the environment beyond a typical fast-casual setting.
The food is the highlight here. I ordered the Double Deluxe Smash, which was easily one of the best burgers I’ve had. The meat was juicy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The fries were equally impressive, crispy, crunchy, and well-seasoned. To top it off, I tried the new Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Shake, which I can’t recommend enough. A thoughtful detail is that they serve the extra shake in a metal cup, so you get more than just what’s in your glass.
Service was also excellent. My food arrived in under five minutes, and the staff were both efficient and genuinely friendly, adding to the positive experience.
Smashburger Clifton combines great food, friendly service, and an enjoyable atmosphere to create a standout casual dining experience.“

“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.“

“Had a few hours to kill before my flight at EWR. Looked up restaurants near the airport, found this and I’m so glad I did. Friendly staff, delicious Beyond Burger wrap w sweet potato tots, and a deeeeelish freshly made strawberry lemonade. Highly recommend! I’m keeping this place in my fav saves. If I’m ever back in Newark NJ I’m def stopping back. That drink was so perfect for the hot day!“

“Stopped in for a late night dinner with my son the food is always good my order wasn’t completely correct but I did like the basil on my french fries I’ll have to do that again sometimes it’s hard to understand people through these plexi glass walls we now live with, well there wasn’t a garbage can available the employee to take my garbage and I appreciate that the sign on the soda fountain to ask for a new cup for refills was a nice add.“

“I have been going to Urban Burger since 2020 and it has never disappointed. I have gotten food in the restaurant and ordered to pick up. I get the BYO chicken burger and the chicken has most delicious seasoning on it that I have ever had. Add a fried egg and a tomato on top and you have a delicious sandwich. I also have been ordering the buffalo wings and the sweet thai chili wings and they are a 10/10. My only suggestion is for them to make an in house ranch instead of using a store brand tasing version. Do yourself a favor and visit here!“

“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.“

“We went to House 157 for dinner on a Sunday evening. We were seated very quickly, within 1 minute after arriving on time for our reservation. The drinks were really good and the ambiance was everything. This restaurant's happening atmosphere is such a vibe. Our entrees were so good, that I can't wait to come back.“

“I live in Florida and came up to visit my daughter in NJ. I wanted chicken so we stopped by the restaurant. The chicken and french fries were both freshly made and seasoned to perfection. I would definitely return on my next visit to New Jersey.“

“I come here almost every day or every other day and everytime I come through those doors all the associates greet me with respect like am family.

“Very juicy burger with great fries made with rosemary & olive oil My favorite burger place in NJ“

“The food is really good it’s a bit pricey but it’s worth it. I love how they make the food with love and care. The employees are kind, caring and loving. They take care of everyone as if it’s their own kids. Also I love how they have vegan options too they don’t discriminate. Helpful tip they should make halal chicken and Lower the prices for college students“

“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.“

“First time visiting and have to say their chicken was great.

The place itself was no frills with limited seating so good for takeaways.

We ordered ahead so service was quick and staff were friendly.

Would recommend if you're in the area!“

“Loved my "deconstructed" Grilled Chicken Sandwich“

“Food is always tasty,,, but waited over 50 minutes today for my order of 2 burgers, fry, and drink.... that’s unacceptable.“

“Sat at the bar and CT was serving. She provided awesome service !“

“Looking for a great place for lunch or dinner HPK is outstanding from Gyros to rice platters with the white sauce you will fill up unless you have a bottomless pit I highly recommend you stop by .“

“This place was amazing as soon as you enter your agreed by the owner all the food is fresh and homemade. I recommend getting the cheesesteak sandwich or any pasta with one of his homemade sauces. I highly recommend the rigatoni with Brandy sauce. Amazing. Will definitely be back.“

“Great food 🥘 fresh always and generous portions!!“

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

“I had a private event in the Parlor Room and it was fabulous. Food and drinks were spot on and the service was dynamite. There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“
