The Most Delectable Burgers in Lexington

Brenda's Smoke Shack

★★★★★ 4.8 (12)

"Great BBQ! Had the pulled pork sandwich and a side of potato salad. The sandwich was hefty with a good portion of pulled pork. Service was great. If you're passing through, stop in!"

Upland Brewing - Jeffersonville

★★★★☆ 3.8 (195) • $$

"Disclaimer: We've used Upland a few times for lunch takeout at work, so I can't comment on the location, only the food itself.I can highly recommend the turkey and guac sandwich, as well as their salads. For the sandwich they use top-notch ingredients, and it's a great, tasty combination. The salads are fresh, crisp and refreshing. I have also tasted their beer-battered fries and they are awesome! Other coworkers like the fish and chips, the bison burger and their pizzas. (I want to try their Margarita, which is usually my favorite pizza.)Bottom line--their food is delicious and travels well for takeout. We keep going back for more!"

21st In Germantown

★★★★☆ 3.9 (96) • $$

"Wow! So never in my life had I eaten a burger without condiments like ketchup or Mayo or mustard. That is how flavorful and perfect the gouda burger was. I did not need anything else, that sunny side up egg was runny and pure perfection. The place is very relaxed, you come in and find a place to seat. Make sure the server knows you arrived as there are areas not fully visible to her. The sides, I really enjoyed the fried Cauliflower side. The Cole slaw was my first time trying a vinegar based one and it was great bc I enjoyed how healthy it is. There are many other choices to try, the 2x1 promotion is only on burgers and it is daily 5pm to 7pm and ABSOLUTELY worth it! Big meat patty and plenty of bacon on them! Great parking space, good location and to top it all off, Tuesdays is free open mic comedy club in the back which is great for a laugh post dinner. Or you can take your dinner and eat it there. Absolutely great place! I'll be back!"

Inkredible's

★★★★★ 4.8 (8)

"Burger had very good flavor. Strawberry shake was good. Was able to get my order quickly. A little expensive but definitely worth trying out."

WNB Factory

★★★★☆ 3.6 (16)

"This is located where the former KFC was located. It can be a tricky location to get in and out of during times of peak traffic. There is a drive-through board, but I'm not sure if they ever plan on having a drive-through line. The portion sizes for the sweet potato fries with huge. However, they were cold when I got them. I think they went ahead and package them while the turkey burger was still cooking. I've seen some mixed reviews on this, and I honestly haven't been there enough times to know if there is consistency or inconsistencies. The time I went, was not a busy time, so I was not shocked to see the staff and employees speaking with each other while things cooked. Per me, the meal was OK. The price was more than I expected, however, I know that inflation is hitting many restaurants. However, the amount of sweet potato fries was a good deal."

Rivertown Grill

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (34)

"Tried Rivertown for the first time while in town. Food was mediocre. The burger was OK. It tasted like a froze. Patty- I don't know that it is- just on the same par. It had a very strong pepper taste. I ordered it without the bun. Our party had the Ruben as well and it was ok- it was compared to Arby's and Arby's winning. The positives: service was GREAT! Our waitress was very nice, friendly and attentive. It was reported that the crawfish étouffée was "very good." The dill ranch was good as well! It was pretty quiet and there was only one other table. I could see it being a fun place to have a drink or two and meet up with a friend. If you're looking for a place with good atmosphere and service and don't really care about quality of food, this place is right on par!"

JJ Burgers and Fries

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"One of the best burger joints in town! It's near the 104 exit or the new soccer stadium. Very nice crew and quick service! I just wish they'd increase their timings a bit,"

Soupy's

★★★★☆ 4.4 (90) • $

"Soupy's is a hikes point community sandwich and soup shop in the city of Louisville Kentucky. After seeing this establishment for several years and curious what they have to offer I finally stopped in to check them out. We parked and I was walking towards the door and I can see a worker walk up to make sure the door was locked by aggressively yanking on. Kinda a rude way of informing someone it's drive thru only. However, I was here and didn't let that rudeness stop me from doing through the drive thru. We were the only ones there at the moment so we processed and got the order really quickly. I personally ordered whole ham sandwich and got a side of chili. My wife ordered a tuna salad sandwich with some chicken and dumplings. I will say they are fairly priced. Not too expensive by any means. We got our order and parked in the parking lot and ate in our cars. My wife chicken and dumplings was super watery. Said it had good flavor but way too much water. Her sandwich she said was just ok. Pretty standard run of the mill and she said "it's not like it's terrible but it's nothing I'll run back to try". My ham sandwich i felt the same way. Pretty standard. Not bad by any means. But it very much had the i stopped by the deli market and made a sack lunch sandwich for my kids school field trip vibe to it. The chili I enjoyed. Wasn't anything ground breaking but I do love the fact that they offer chili with or without noodles. Team noodles over here. For those who said if you add noodles it makes it spaghetti mu counter is always if you don't have noodles it's just tomato soup with meat. Overall this is a solid and cool little hikes point land marker. The food here to me was just ok. The service annoyed me slightly. The pricing and the fact that there chili has noodles in it is my two favorite things."

Mad Mike's Burgers & Fries

★★★★☆ 4.2 (385) • $

"Visited Mad Mikes today.after reading some of the reviews, both good and bad, I had to try it for myself. I had the Big Tex Burger and fries. The sandwich was huge! And it was flavorful . Was it the absolute best hamburger that I have ever eaten; not really but it was good and filling. The fries were good and abundant. The price for my meal was very affordable, I was very pleased with the cost of my meal. Other comments were disparaging about the decor; this is a renovated storefront that was clean and well maintained. While it was not the heavily decorated chain restaurants if you are more concerned about where you eat than what you eat this may not be the place for you. I consider this a hole in the wall restaurant and I like it! Good food and plenty of it what else do you want?"

Howie's Diner

★★★★☆ 3.5 (46) • $$

"Service very friendly and quick. Food was great and plentiful. Pancake lopped over the edge of the plate, goetta was crispy. Recommend!"

Lonnie's Best Taste of Chicago

★★★★☆ 4.4 (210) • $

"Everything was delicious. I liked the beef the most. All his toppings were great. I was happy to find this location, because there doesn't seem to be a lot of hot options in Louisville"

Norman McDonald's Country Drive-In

★★★★★ 4.8 (10) • $

"We love Norman McDonalds! This country gem is worth a little drive out of Owensboro for an awesome meal. The service is great, food is great, prices great and yes the atmosphere is true dining in a little country diner.Try the corn doggers, wonderful burgers, fries (curly or straight cut) delicious fresh salads and fried green tomatoes. Save room for a chocolate malt or other delicious treat."

Timmy Two Time's

★★★★☆ 4.2 (13)

"Absolutely DELICIOUS! If you haven't been, gooooo!! I want to try the other burgers, but.... The Carleone Burger is too difficult to pass up! Hand pattied burger, provolone, sandwich sized grilled pepperoni on a grilled bun.... Get out of here! So good! This was maybe my fourth or fifth time and I'm going to make it a more regular habit! Thanks Timmy Two Time's, I'll see you soon! Excellent service, friendly atmosphere, and insanely good!"

Ollie's Trolley

★★★★☆ 4.2 (141) • $

"Ollie's never misses! This isn't the place you come for stellar customer service or room to sit down. It is strictly a cash only takeout spot, (no dining room), and the food is delicious. Not a huge area to stand and wait so you really need look at the menu quickly and order. Menu isn't huge either so that does make it easier. Burgers are always great and the fries are seasoned perfectly! As always I'll continue to visit Ollie's when I'm in the area."

Melisa's Family Diner

★★★★★ 4.9 (72)

"It's like eating home cooked breakfast at grandmas house! The biscuits are soooo FLUFFY! Can't wait to go back to try their famous burgers! I would 100% recommend! Melisa is such a kind soul and makes you feel comfortable"

Bardstown Burger

★★★★★ 4.6 (160)

"Yum, yum, yum. Great smash burger. Totally customizable. Fries or onion rings. Small joint so if you get a table you're lucky."

Big Bull Steakhouse

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"So far, my family of 5 have visited this steakhouse twice and both experiences were five stars! The steaks are cooked perfectly to order, burgers flavorful and juicy, chicken broccoli alfredo wasn't swimming in alfredo which I prefer. Servers are knowledgeable of the menu and very nice/respectful. This restaurant is clean and taken care of, even the bathrooms. The prices and serving sizes are comparable to other steakhouses. What really sold me is this restaurant uses beef from local farmers. I will be recommending Big Bull Steakhouse to anyone looking for quality food and a great experience!"

Wyndall's Wonder Whip

★★★★☆ 4 (37) • $

"There's a wonderful burger shop hotdog stand whatever you wanna call it drive-in that my family and I went to while we were in town. The cheeseburgers I got were great the hotdogs my kids got there really enjoyed this is a cool family dining experience that I highly recommend"

76 Fuel Center & Truckers Diner

★★★★★ 4.5 (15) • $

"I had homemade meatloaf,corn , green beans and chili . Everything was great. Don't let the looks of the building deceive you. The food is great!"

Woodbooger Bar and Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (82) • $$

"The steak and cheese wrap and the Philly chicken sandwich are both amazing! I always have a hard time deciding which to go with!"

Squires Corner Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (13)

"My son & I tried Squires Corner Kitchen for the 1st time today & were very pleased! Great service, delish food, budget friendly. Daily specials. Give them a try!"

Barleycorn's Florence

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (98) • $$

"My son was served French onion soup this evening with no broth. Not joking, literally zero broth. It wasn't soup. Just sopping wet bread that tasted like a salty beef bouillon cube and a pile of cheesy croutons on top of that. It was inedible. My husbands wings were so dry. I've never tasted such dry ass chicken wings. Truly terrible.Roast beef sandwich was sad. You can get a better one at Arby's."

21 At The Frederick

★★★★☆ 4.3 (85) • $$$

"Stupendous, the best meal I've enjoyed, in the most sophisticated atmosphere, in the Tri-State. Not to be missed."

Midland Grocery & Frostee Freeze

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (14) • $

"It's not fancy, but the food is better than average for this type of joint."

Five Guys

★★★★☆ 3.6 (5)

"Brand new to town, ordered a hamburger with mayo, onion, tomatoes, pickles and mustard. the toppings were done nicely and no complaints but the actual patties are in my honest opinion overcooked and there was little flavor of beef left over the charred surface. I went with the fries on the side, and they were just okay as well, I have had fresh cut fries before and these weren't as good. Also they have a Coke machine where you choose the flavors, and I got straight Coca Cola, and it didn't taste anything like Coca Cola, personally was disappointed paying $17+ and would have been so much happier getting a burger at bacon burger at Applebee's for $9.99 and got better fries included and a true tasting fountain Cola... If I return it will be only to try a milk shake."

Pat's Snack Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (17) • $

"So I finally made it to Pat's after 5 yrs It was an ok experience. I've heard it's changed hands. Anyway, we ordered a couple of different sandwiches. They were ok... not good not bad. The service was really really slow. There was only one guy flipping burgers and two servers who were trying their best to be efficient. But just as an example, we saw our sandwiches lying on the table for a full 6-8 minutes before the server saw them and finally brought them to us, lukewarm, stacked on top of one another in her hands. The thing that was extremely distasteful was the choice of TV stations on the TV... it was horrible! We had to request to have the channel changed! It was OMG!"

Garrison Shortstop

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Come on in to a small town country atmosphere where you're always welcome and get top notch food at inexpensive prices. Meet the owner Cindy and all the locals... Daily specials, ice cream, shakes, burgers, FF, onion rings and breakfast served 24/7. Worth the drive."

The 49'er Dairy Dee

The only thing that would make the dogs even better is a warm, toasted bun!!"

Smokin Momma’s Burgers & BBQ

★★★☆☆ 3 (2)

"100% recommend. The food here was fantastic, surpassed only by the quality of the service. I got a burger with pulled pork on it and onion rings and my friend got the smoked fried bologna sandwich, both were really good. The staff were all very friendly and very helpful. I'll definitely be back."
