50 Best Burger Restaurants in Cleveland

“Having moved from Florida's Gulf Coast last year, I had yet to find any food in Ohio I liked as well as Sarasota. Last night at Heck's, my hope was restored! The caliber of textures and tastes was fantastic! Delicious and clearly well thought out menu options for anyone's palate. I had the Moroccan kabobs and truffle pierogis (which are NOT your average pierogi!) and our table split several other appetizers. Great ambiance too. You'll love it.“

“First time at the new location. Good food and great service. Workers were attentive and fun! Welcome to this part of town!“

“We had a great corn beef sandwich and Reuben today. Large portions and friendly staff.“

“I ordered mushroom gusher and original with fries as well as BBQ wings. I have to tell you the food was delicious. I am not even a BBQ fan. Service was very welcoming and exceptional. Edward the owner treated me like family!! Restaurant was very clean. Will be going back again.“

“Food delicious, fast , and atmosphere amazing i will dine there again .“

“After visiting the Waterloo gallery, we stopped in Doinks and we're so glad we did. The sangria drink and the OG burger were the perfect match—both were delicious. We will be back!“

“Charlie's was a dandy little diner we found during our recent trip to Cleveland. The first thing you notice is the very flashy looking exterior of their building which I thought looked awesome. The inside of the building is quite small with limited seating but was very well kept and clean. Their menu consists mainly of breakfast options and hot dog options. I went the hot dog route trying a Chili Dog and one plain with stadium mustard. The stadium mustard was just a dijon variation and was fine. Their chili was excellent with great flavour and just delicious on the dog. The dogs themselves were 100% beef and were the best part as it should be. Great flavour and a nice snap to them they were just stellar. The onion rings I got as a side I would rate as average. The service was pretty darn good for us as well. All in all a very good diner stop for us.“

“TLP has quickly become a staple in our date night routine! Every visit is consistently amazing. The food is bursting with flavor and offers a unique twist on classic favorites—we’re always impressed. The atmosphere is just as incredible; every staff member we’ve met is genuinely friendly and seems to truly enjoy what they do. Special shoutout to Peter, the manager— he always goes above and beyond to make us feel like family and ensures everything runs smoothly. If you’re thinking about going—do it! You will NOT be disappointed!“

“😍This place is awesome the food is Delicious. we now live in Texas but everytime we go home to Cleveland Ohio we go eat here the staff and Owners are friendly and so good at what they do. A must place to go and EAT“

“Every 6-8 weeks I meet a couple of friends at Dina’s for lunch. We met Saturday Jan 3rd 2026 about 1:45. It was extremely busy. As soon as we were seated our server Jenn (Jennifer O) got down to business with us. She was calm, attentive and friendly. As we took up her booth for a while for a girls vent/tea spilling/catch up she was amazing! We knew the food was exceptional but Jenn was a huge bonus! Thank you from the buffet ladies!“

“If you want an ice cream cake, there’s only one choice in my book — Dairy Queen on West 105th or West 150th! 🎂🍦

THE BEST FROM THE WEST — FORGET THE REST! 😎

Don’t call anybody else until you call the West Side DQ! Great cakes, great service, and delicious ice cream cakes that make every celebration a little sweeter.

⭐ Personally approved and proudly recommended by yours truly — Cleveland’s Own, Cleveland Proud, Cabby Bill! ⭐“

“When I mention Academy Tavern I mention “Cheers,” where every one knows your name. The establishment provides great food, great pricing, personable and timely bar staff, and conversation with anyone and everyone. Owner, Jessica’s smile and giggles are heart warming, and Owner Chris makes sure every woman is walked to her car by a man in the restaurant if not himself. If this isn’t community, I don’t know what is.“

“Characters Bar & Grill is mine and my husband’s go‑to spot! The food is always great and the service is just as good.

It’s one of those places you can count on every time—good food, friendly staff, and an overall great experience. We’re there regularly and will definitely keep coming back!“

“Kristina's Family Restaurant on Lorain Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. Serves up classic comfort food with a personal touch that's hard to find elsewhere. From fluffy pancakes to golden French toast, their diverse breakfast menu has something for everyone. The nostalgic atmosphere makes dining in, with a yesteryear view. Best Mom & Pop place on the Westside in Cleveland.“

“8pm, Sept. 2025 the carryout pizza was burned, pepperoni was dried out“

“My small group visited BurgerIM for lunch today. After taking a bite of my Chicken Parm Burger, the unexpected taste reminded me of Melt Bar & Grill. Their sandwiches were outrageously delicious! If you're looking for a hearty/filling meal, BurgerIM might be optional. Overall, the service and atmosphere was excellent, making BurgerIM a go-to place for extroverts.“

“Food is fresh, hot and VERY delicious! Has that homemade taste and flavor that brings me back to being a kid at family bbqs.. The burgers and hot dogs are very reasonably priced and the staff is very friendly! This place should be busier! I will def come back! Best burgers and hot dogs in cleveland!! I ate one of the dogs quicker than I could take the picture! But I had 2 classic coneys, a cheeseburger, tater tots and large drink... waited maybe 10 minutes. Food is handmade to order, which I appreciate. Its tough to find good restaurants that take pride in what they serve. You can taste it here!“

“Great service, fun employees!!“

“Also thankful of the ways a plan was made to minimize the damage for people. the patience was astounding. And also taught lesson and stuff along the way through conflict and issues. even tho they didn't have to. but don't expect them too. much love and prosperous was to Luxe. I understand why what happened. alot of it knowing everyone is ok. And not being mad at the situations that played.. Thank your staff for not feeling right but making right!!“

The team was extremely welcoming and everyone seemed to really love what they do, which made for an amazing experience. I am looking forward to many more lunches there!“

“I've just started going over the last month, and...The regulars have been amazing. Ive dealt with Michelle and Ivy, and they've both been beyond welcoming and awesome. Honestly...Its been nice to find an affordable, local bar, to just go into and not have to worry about anything negative ruining the mood. If the Daze sauce is as amazing as it was under the original owners, I have to assume nothing but the best for this itteration.“

“the best burgers and waffle fries :)“

“My favorite place to grab food in First Energy stadium. It’s a bit limited because it’s in the private club section. That being said, I have season tickets in the club section! Best time to grab a burger is right after the first quarter or third. They stay open a little bit after the game to. There’s a few beers on a tap and a more canned options to select from.“

“Awesome food awesome service“

“The food was nice. We had crisp chicken strips, fries and black beans burgers. It was nicely made and ready quite fast. It was windy but pleasant near the Beach house. I wish I took pictures of the food but I didn't as I was too hungry and tired from an early morning flight that morning.“

“Everyone was do nice help get up from the. The table walk me to door“

“Just left this location and I want to Genuinely Thank Manager “Maya” For her Leadership and Professionalism. There was a mishap with my Rewards number to redeem a burger, and Maya made sure to resolve the issue. Maya was most Kind, Professional, And Welcoming in assisting Me. Thank you Maya, I appreciate your help and I believe you are an Awesome Leader. I wish you Well.“
