50 Best Burger Restaurants in Salt Lake City

“Wow! First- the entire staff here were top notch- not one person standing around even though I came in at a relatively slow moment. Every single person stayed busy, but Cynthia was a standout. She was really pleasant and very attentive. She was doing it all- making shakes, running the drive through, taking orders at the front, restocking, sweeping, wiping tables, and literally had a smile on her face the whole time. Take care of Cynthia, guys!! Ive been to a lot of Apollo burgers around the SL and Utah Valleys (bc I love the Greek salad so much), but this was my favorite location. Extra care in the food prepared. 👏👏👏“

“The Utah Burger is the Best Burger I’ve ever had!!! (Cheeseburger, BLT, Pastrami, Gyro Meat)“

“Great food. Rami burger/pastrami and crazy fries were delicious“

“Delicious food, friendly service and great vibes all around! Thanks for a great lunch!“

“The SLC mecca of burgers. Salty and fatty with amazing deep fried mushrooms. Don't miss this institution while visiting the big city. I have to try the Greek food next time. The atmosphere was of ancient fast food nirvana left over from another more indulgent era!“

“This burger changed my life. Pastrami, corned beef, beef, gyro meat, I am feeling sleepy now. This sandwich is the truth. After a horrible breakfast experience in Payson IHOP, Apollo has redeemed Utah for food single-handedly“

“I usually hit this place up for a big greasy Crown Burger (Pastrami Burger) combo before going to any local event because if you spend more than $30 you can park in their lot which comes in clutch in some cases. This place can get pretty busy and the service has it's ups and downs, but I've been happy my last couple times.“

“This place is AMAZING! Was in town for appointments at Primary Children’s and came here right after. My picky 12 year old was able to find multiple things he loved and the staff was friendly, patient, understanding, and helpful. We ordered cheese burgers either fries and a drink plus onion rings, a shake, and a hand scooped ice cream and it all cost us under $30! The burgers were juicy and delicious, the fries were perfectly done ( crispy but not hard or overdone with a delicious softer inside, not undercooked, and everything was served quickly, kindly, and deliciously. We didn’t have a long wait at all! I loved the atmosphere as did my son! Their shakes are SO THICK you have to eat it with a spoon then try a straw later after it settles / melts a little and it was SO GOOD! Easily the best shake I’ve had in years! Lastly, their fry sauce. I’ve been to a lot of places that serve fry sauce all over the state and this was THE BEST fry sauce I’ve ever had! Not too tangy but not too light on flavor. I loved that they included it for free as well! 100/10 for food and experience!“

“The food here is magnificent!“

“my son and I pass this restaurant a million times and have never stopped here until today. my son tried the pina colada ahake and I had a strawberry/peach shake and fried zucchini and they were delicious! We will definitely be back again soon!“

“Had a great experience at California Burger. The food was really good and the service was great. Sharron was especially friendly and helpful and made sure everything was taken care of. Definitely appreciated the good service and would come back again.“

“Heard this was the best burger in Salt Lake City and if this isn't correct I would love to know about one any better! Place is awesome and the guy making them is a master of his craft. Fries also excellent, huge portions and served faster than you would reasonably expect something of this quality.

Yeah really that good, had the Okie burger because I love an onion fried burger. But the menu has a few other innovative special burgers worth a look.

When in Salt Lake this is the ONE. High praise for a city that has a few really good ones, but in my opinion this one is the BEST.“

“The last time we went up to eat at Lucky 13, it was great. The burgers are the best and the service is top notch.“

“Might just be the best burgers I've eaten! The food was wonderfully seasoned and fresh!“

“The burgers are delicious with fresh ingredients. You must try a sampling of all their homemade sauces to get the full experience. the bacon Proper burger was the best burger I've had in a very long time. I will definitely go back.“

“Support your locals! Husband and I are so satisfied from tonight’s meal; fries, pastrami burger, and chicken souvlaki diet platter - YUM 😋 We’re pairing this meal with some proper brew beers 👌 We’ve got lunch ready for tomorrow 😊 10/10 @goldengyros !!“

“So yesterday at work I'm devouring the most magical of bagels while waiting for someone to help me for a will call. I was so invested in cream cheese heaven that I didn't notice two of the employees trying to get my attention from the other side of a glass partition. Shortly after (who actually knows how long they watched me just DESTROY said bagel) they came through the man door, one of them in tears while the other just said: "Man, I wish my girlfriend looked at me like you looked at that bagel." The epic bagel of this story? Brought to you by Maxi's Deli!“

“Great service, fun atmosphere and fabulous food!!“

“From scratch has amazing food. Mom and I went there for lunch and it was extremely yummy!“

“Making great burgers and hand cut fries just inside the second floor Social Hall Ave entrance to Harmons Grocery. Made to order, thick and juicy, a ton of hot fresh cut fries, a soda machine, and three condiment stations where you can dress your burger in multiple ways--from arugula and pickled beets, to onions, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, relish, kraut, mushrooms, etc etc, including a dozen squeeze bottles of sauces. Have it the way you like it. Plenty of room to eat your burger on the 2d floor overlooking Harmons main floor grocery. A nice lunch spot when you're on the move.“

“Hello there. I was at your SLC restaurant on South Foothill earlier today and am very pleased with the food I ordered (Has# Fried Chicken Benedict). However, I was very displeased with the number of times my server ran his hands over and through his hair (I counted 6) and never washed his hands before serving food - as he did to me. This disturbed me greatly - so much so that I could not finish my order and took the remainder home where I will look for any evidence of loose hair(s) before eating it. Thank you for your attention.“

“the best burger I have ever had. no lie“

“Was looking for a quick place to eat near the airport while in town and stumbled across this gem!
Tried the Nomad burger. Honestly thought a burger with salt and vinegar chips on it would be odd, but this is one of the best burgers I’ve had. And the beer is amazing! Has the Golden Spike Hefeweizen and could not be happier. Austin and Taylor were friendly and attentive.
If you’re in the area, don’t miss this place.“

“Mars was extremely helpful. She made sure everything was as ordered since we had to customize some of our order due to some food allergies; she made sure we got everything we needed. The food and shakes were perfect. It was a great experience.“

“This was an excellent experience, through and through. The owner came out and welcomed us in because we were a little lost, and showed us how to get to the menu. The chef came out as well and said howdy to our group. The location shares space with some other businesses, don't be scared just walk in. I got the chicken tenders and was so pleasantly surprised to be given hand breaded, deliciously spiced, excellent chicken. Their dank sauce is amazing, highly recommend it. They also have a dish called Buff Tots, which is the same hand breaded chicken tenders, with perfectly fried tots, shaved parmesan, all smothered in Buffalo Sauce. It was fantastic. Can't recommend this place enough.“

“Came in today for lunch was really hungry was hoping for good food well let’s just say you have a happy customer here the food was Amazing I’ll definitely be back for more now I know where to go for a good Burger in Utah“

“I only had 15 min for a lunch and these guys were able to get it to me in 7. Fantastic sliders with perfect fries 10/10“

“Oh my DELICIOUSNESS! Just had the best Chicken Sandwich EVER! Johnny Rockets has this New Limited Time Sandwich called "MIKE'S HOT HONEY CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICH" that's not hot at all, but It is very flavourful. I like it so much more than Pretty Birds and Johnny Rockets is located just up the street a short distance North of Pretty Birds' in City Creek Mall. Another added bonus that Johnny Rockets has over Pretty Birds, is that there is also Parking and in house dining or to go option. Of course I have an in with Manager/Cook Christopher that personally knows my tastes and expectations in the food I eat so he recommended the following: a slice of Pepper Jack Cheese, Mayo, Lettuce Tomato, Caramelize the bacon in the Hot hHoney Sauce and it was perfect. If you try this Sandwich ask for these extras and I hope you find yourself in Chicken Sandwich Heaven as I am in at this moment. Only recommendation I'd make to Johnny Rockets with Sandwich is they should offer a side of Coleslaw with it. It would of went great with the Sandwich as well as cooler and refreshing alternative to fries in this hot weather. it's also a small step up from the dinner salad they offer. Other than that still an very satisfying and delicious Sandwich.“

“The burgers, fries & shakes are absolutely amazing! I highly recommend visiting this place when in SLC.“

“Love this Carl’s Jr! My son with autism is in LOVE with their chicken stars and they always have it ready to go, I’ve never been upset with this location they always deliver fresh food!! Israel the GM makes sure we always get what we need here“

“they made the ultimate burger when I asked them for it; double bacon cheese blue cheese bbq sauce burger“

“5 star club🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“I was vacationing from out of town and never heard of Tony burgers before but I placed an order through GrubHub. it was the most delicious burger I had ever had. it was an impossible burger with a fried egg, onion straws, pickles, lettuce, pepper jack cheese, and provolone. it was amazing.“

“We came here twice while staying in Salt Lake City! Everyone was nice, the food was excellent, and the wait time was minimal. A special thanks to Gavin for being so nice and for even recognizing me on the second visit. As a past restaurant manager, it shows attention to detail. I’d keep him around.“

“This is my third time at this location. Everytime the service and food are outstanding. Food is always fresh. The kitchen always accommodates my requests. Managers Christine and Phyllis have gone out of their way to take great care of me and so has employee Jeremiah. Thank you all for making my visits very enjoyable and stress-free!!!“

“Awesome beer selection and an absolutely amazing burger“

“Cecelia was the BEST! She was extremely attentive without being too overbearing, super sweet, and funny!! She made us feel welcomed as soon as we sat down had us cracking up every time she came by. Good breakfast and GREAT customer service!!!“

“Super rad place ! What a very awesome concept.“

“my first visit to Patty Shack was today and I rate them at 5 stars. the owner himself took our order and he's a real people person. friendly and welcoming. our food came out to us as ordered and in record time. the quality of the burgers was to shelf and the fries were amazing. I will definitely go back“

“Im a little "xtra' people we in the food service hat.i dont eat alot even my husband wont order anything for me...lolThis morning i came into burger king to try and get a chicken sandwich .the guy in the window was so helpf he took my special order and actually made it fresh and brought it to me...he said his name is roberto....please give him something for great service u cant get anymore!!and thank him from me“

“Great beer wonderful service and awesome food! What more can a guy ask for?“

“The double prime burger was delicious, as were the tater tots with fry sauce.. the combo meal comes with fries, but I upgraded to tater tots which were medium, so when I asked to upgrade to a large tots there was a one dollar uncharge, even though on the menu the difference between medium and large Freddy’s tots is only $.50. I asked the manager and was told it was a pending software upgrade causing the problem. So, would I eat here again? Definitely! 👍“

“criatividade até a proxima“

“They took our order and it got assembled correctly! We went through the drive thru Tuesday Jan 9 at 4:41pm. BrookeF was our cashier. She did a great job! Thanks to the cooks that made our order. No complaints. My child prefers no vegetables. I take ‘em the way they come because I’ve been a line cook in my teenage hood. I only lasted 3 months ? Special request orders killed me.We love the Papa burger single combo on Tuesdays for $5Thank you!

Kid-friendliness: Much to my dismay my child likes the burger without vegetables. Thank you for getting the order correct with no trouble at all.“

“I would probably give them more stars if the gentleman that took my order listened, I asked them to not put mayo on it and they did anyway, other than that everything was great, the food was all hot and they listen to everything else that I asked them to do in my order, I'm just not a huge fan of mayonnaise so that kind of ruined it a little bit for me on the trip that I just had here not too long ago.“

“Starla is Awesome. She’s very friendly and tentative to customers needs.“

“Amazing experience. They are doing renovations on some floors but overall great experience“

“Went to go get 3 pies for an outing, first time coming here. Pizzas were absolutely delicious and flavorful! The crust is thin but compliments the packed on toppings. And the homemade ranch pairs perfectly. Owner spoke to us while we waited, very nice and very appreciative!! Will definitely return :)“

“I give it a four star rating for the food that we get there when we get it. However, this day, the restaurant was closed. And it even said that it was in standard operating hours. I hope they're not permanently closed. But, when they are open, I love everything A&W and their KFC side is pretty good too. The lemonade on the KFC side is really good. But, nothing beats a good root beer freeze or root beer float with A&W Root beer. That's probably one of my favorite flavors in my life.“

“I’d like to share my opinion on this place, which is a very pleasant spot for breakfast. First off, the food is delicious and the service is excellent; the waitress who served me was very friendly and attentive. Places like this are few and far between. I loved everything—thank you so much!“
