The Most Delectable Burgers in Phoenix

Cristela's

★★★★★ 5 (10)

"This small place is AMAZING. I'm a picky burger eater and every thing about it was amazing. The salsa? MIND BLOWING. Very simple but packed with flavor. Highly recommend Cristela's!"

Waddells Longhorn Corral

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (159) • $$

"Here's the deal - if you are a county line dancing dive bar kind of person - then this is your joint. I am neither of those things - well a good dive bar isn't something I would shy away from. The regulars are very territorial and make it a tad uncomfortable. The live music is great but it seems as though people know when to go so that they grab a table for the entire night. We have never been able to grab a table and watch the band. Food is ridiculously priced and the service is awful. Try getting someone to take your order #impossible I think they take pride and the place being sub par. This is now a go to for my husband and his guy friends - they don't care as much as I do.I hear they now take cards now which is helpful"

The Palms Mediterranean Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (96)

"This is a must visit for anyone who's a Greek food lover like us. We've visited and tried a vast array of Hellenic-style establishments all over the Valley, but the Palms Mediterranean Kitchen stands out as one of our top ten choices for dining and enjoying this gastronomy. The moment you walk in the place alive, whether full or empty, you feel a vibe of the vast openness, congenial spaciousness and happy brightness that exude comfortable casual. The air is alive and wafting of the aromas of unique Greek ingredients. Airborne scents of Coriander, Allspice, and Cardamom entice the senses, but when you begin the eating experience, you'll fully appreciate and enjoy the Clove, Nutmeg and Sumac on your palate. While we contemplated what to dine from their extensive and diverse menu, we sipped on a non-Greek Arnold Palmer and Iced Tea. Having taken a little time (actually more than a little time) deciding, we were set to try something other than what is your typical Greek fare in most places of Gyros or Souvlaki! We decided on a delightful lunch that included their tender roasted and juicy chicken slowly cooked on a kátheto kreatoparagogís, served with rice, a Greek pilaf-style yummy yummy rice, and an incredibly aromatic and tasty garlic sauce. I had the Lamb Chop Plate with Pita that included five (count them, five) mouthwatering French-style cut lamb chops infused and seasoned to perfection with traditional herbs and spices, and sided with rice, and perfectly seasoned and prepared grilled vegetables - really, really good. We highly recommend this fab place to anyone who gets a hankering for excellent Greek. !"

Shake Shack

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (102)

"I got a vegan burger, fries and shake. My last meal of vacation before boarding my flight out of sky harbor airport in Phoenix. The burger was delish, perfect amount of sauce, pickles, and crispy french fried onions. Fries were just ok. Shake was pretty tasty. Even though there was a lot of customers it seemed fast getting my meal. A nice lunch at the airport!"

Lucky's Burgers & Shakes

★★★★★ 4.6 (442)

"First time at Lucky's Burgers & Shakes. Early Holiday lunch with Son. We both had the double charbroiled Burgers with cheese and fries. Place got busy for indoor dining or take out. Friendly service, great food.Hake to try a burger and shake next visit!"

Heroes Pub and Grub

★★★★☆ 3.8 (363) • $$

"Great ExpeirenceI visited Heroes Pub and Grub for the first time today with my lunch companion. We were both very impressed by the service and food. Heroes Pub and Grub restraunt is dedicated to our local Hero's, (military, first responders and teachers). Hero's Pub and Grub offers a varied selection of domestic beers in addition to a great selection of local & craft brews. On this visit we shared some BBQ wings, Arizona burger, onion rings, and pizza. The BBQ wings were my favorite. The wings were crispy, meaty, and flavorful. My lunch companion really enjoyed the burger, he said it was hot, juicy, and large, enough for two, and the onion rings were so crispy, served pipping hot, a perfect match for the burger. The pizza was also great, crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and the perfect amount of toppings. Friendly staff, tasty food, and good service. Nice place to grab a bite to eat and relax with family and friends."

The District

★★★★☆ 3.5 (253) • $$

"Was brought to this location based upon recommendation.... BUT had no idea what type of establishment it was... there was 2-3 bouncers checking ID and then letting you in. They had a bar at the front of the entrance and a life size beer pong (with garbage cans and a soccer ball) then as you venture inside there is a couple more bars areas (although one was closed) and additional games like cornhole. We had ordered 2 drinks and 2 beers and it was $60. Super pricey, but if you are 21 and have money this place is for you. Don't think we would venture back here on our own."

Bare Knuckle Burger

★★★★☆ 4 (4)

"Awesome sandwiches and the price is perfect. Neat and clean restaurant with attentive and polite staff. Really nice hidden gem. I will go here often!"

Pinnacle Grille

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (311) • $$

"I work down the road, so this is our go-to spot for lunch. Everyone loves the fries, whether the steak fries, skinny fries, truffle fries, or sweet potato fries. I've never had a bad burger or sandwich. My favorites are the Bleu cheese burger, club sandwich, and Pinnacle chicken as a wrap. The club is loaded with meat and very tasty aioli. Dawn, the manager, has been there a while and keeps everything running. We've held a few work events on the patio and they have always been accommodating. Plus, you can't beat the beautiful scenery with Pinnacle Peak right next door.Instagram: @msbusyblonde"

Burger King

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (52)

"The place isnt terrible. Its a definite step up from its sister location off of Miller Rd, but it still has its issues. Ive been here a few times and have been underwhelmed by its service. The only time it was a positive experience is when this location first opened. Now you're treated as a bother to the staff. I understand working a fast food job isnt the best experience, but you still have to be somewhat approachable. Also would help if you greeted your customers and not make them wait too unbearably long. The saving grace is that the food is pretty good for what it is. Havent really had anything particularly bad yet. The only thing that was bad was the wait for our food. People who had ordered after us were receiving their orders, while we waited wondering if we were forgotten. I might give this place one more chance, before i avoid it. Because I've gotten some iffy quality food and the service isnt something to admire. We'll see the next time if I'll actually come back."

Stoop Kid

★★★★☆ 4.3 (121)

"The only real downside to this place is the downtown parking situation. Their bagels are fantastic, and they have one of the best rosters of schmears anywhere around. I like their service and their vibe. It's always friendly and pretty quick, and everything is super tasty. The red pepper schmear is my favorite, but you can't really go wrong. For those who don't think a bagel is filling enough, they have sandwiches with more involved ingredients."

Burgers & Brews

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (38)

"This restaurant just keeps getting better! Like most restaurants during off season getting folks through the door can be a challenge. But if you're full time and have not tried this place out yet you are missing out.Weekends still tend to be busy as people who travel I17 will make this a stop and agar for good reason!"

The Lola

★★★★☆ 3.7 (1276) • $$

"What a refreshing spot! Stopped by This local spot today for the first tine for lunch with a friend. Sat outside on the amazing patio, low tops and high tops with a great view of center WestGate.I ordered one of the local beers they offer on tap (make 12-15 local selections). For lunch I decide to get the crispy chicken sandwich. AMAZING!! Super fresh ingresiant"

McDonald's

★★☆☆☆ 1.5 (40) • $

"It's honestly my fault for even coming here. I was expecting terrible cold food and old food with a bunch of teenagers working but I wasn't anticipating how rude and careless they are and how they are just playing around at night. I would stay away from this location all together if you care about not your health but your food being sanitary."

Aioli Gourmet Burgers - Fry's Location

★★★★☆ 4 (73)

"Pleasantly Surprised This review is a little late coming. I visited Aioli Burger when they first opened. I wasn't sure what to think about a burger shop located inside the Fry's Marketplace however, I was pleasantly surprised, After looking over the menu we decided to go with the black and blue burge, sweet potato fries, and shakes. Everything was fresh and delicious and the serving size is very large. I can't wait to try their burger kits for grilling. I'm so happy they are in my Fry's. Very convenient"

Carl's Jr

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (83) • $

"Hungry for a burger this evening, so the Hubs and I headed to Carl's.I do enjoy the Beyond Famous Star combo and chose that tonight, and he craved the Western Bacon burger combo.This location is freeway close and very clean.The employees were nice and the food came quickly. Hubby always orders large size and enjoys the soda fountain Dr. Pepper here :)The first time we came was when we realized two weeks ago it was open 24 hours . Just be aware that the dining room closes during the night, and the drive thru uses AI at the speaker. It was kind of strange, but OK. We'll be back. I love that Beyond Burger!"

The Stand Arcadia Burger Shoppe

★★★★☆ 4 (1244) • $$

"The Chocolate Chile mikshake, Strawberry milkshake and their fries were great! Their Standard burger, and Arcadia burger were good. We enjoyed the grilled jalapeno and pineapple add ons, these are a must."

Hatch-it Green Chile Burgers & Tacos

★★★★☆ 4.4 (360) • $$

"Food, service and ambiance. Delicious posole, flavorful and spicy, but not too spicy. The meatloaf sandwich also very good. Portion is generous. Perfect for lunch. The bread is a green Chile sourdough!"

Cristelas

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Simply amazing burger. This place is definitely a gem. The location certainly leaves something to be desired but the service and food is unmatched. My brother and I stopped here after my son's baseball game. The nearly flawless reviews had us eager for a burger. I went with the Western and my brother tried the Diablo. Both were excellent. Very fresh and high quality ingredients. Perfect bun, burger, toppings ratio. I love a good burger and this was the best of the best I've ever had. The onion rings and fries were also fresh and well seasoned. A slice of fresh whole made cheesecake was a perfect finish to our meal. The service was awesome. Very friendly, prompt and knowledgeable. The restaurant was clean with unique decor. The National Geographic magazines on the table was a cool touch. I can now see firsthand why this place has the reviews it does. It earned every star of this one."

Burger King

★☆☆☆☆ 1.1 (76) • $

"Walked inside the Burger King restaurant today and respectfully requested Burger King's best breakfast. Was told by the cashier that the Egg-Normous Breakfast Burrito was their best breakfast. Paid @ $7 dollars, and patiently waited. About eight minutes later I was handed a brown paper bag with a small burrito inside. Opened the burrito to inspect its contents. I was caught off guard when I inspected the breakfast burrito. This burrito contained a couple of small pieces of bacon, some scrambled eggs, some cheese, and a couple of small hash browns all wrapped up with a cold and broken tortilla. I did not eat the burrito, instead I left the unappetizing burrito on the front counter and told the cashier that this breakfast burrito was unacceptable. Sub-par is an understatement. This Burger King is robbing their loyal customers by advertising amazing looking food, then doing the old bait and switch, and then serving their loyal customers unappetizing food. Burger King will not earn many new customers by knowingly and willingly short-changing their loyal followers by serving sub-par and unappetizing food. Poor customer service, and unappetizing food."

Zinburger

★★★★☆ 3.7 (303) • $

"I was impressed with the size and pricing of the burger especially for food at the airport. The burger was really good and filling. The burgers came with two patties. The service is quick and very friendly staff! There's no seating."

Aftermath

★★★★☆ 4.4 (331) • $$

"They made a bunch of menu changes last time we went and the quality of the burger went way down hill as of a couple months ago. I used to crave this spot and now it's an easy pass for me and quality no longer matches the price point ."

Wally Burger

★★★★☆ 4.1 (178) • $

"I love this place and so do the kids. It's fast and delicious, however, and I guess we can't blame the business, it's a bit expensive, so if you're looking for a quick cheap burger, this is not the place, but quick and delicious and price is not a consideration, then come on over and get yourself a blessing while you're at it.Lots of superhero's and games to keep the kids busy and you'll take lots of pictures without the cost of going to Disneyland or Universal Studios! Lol, fyi it's in the Target shopping center. Enjoy!"

Gus's New York Pizza

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (222)

"This place did not disappoint! Our kind of environment. Just missing video games for the kids to be occupied. The ladies made you feel comfortable (like family). Pizza was excellent! Normally I have to throw napkins under a pizza as soon as they deliver to soak up the grease...NOT at Gus's. It was cooked to perfection. The wings were scrumptious. And they had a full alcohol bar. The ranch tasted homemade (I could have drank it). Great overall experience."

US Egg

★★★★☆ 3.9 (333) • $$

"Great spot for classic American breakfast depending on what you order! This spot is always well staffed with friendly servers. There's plenty of seating available. So even when it gets busy, the wait is never too long.I highly recommend getting the skillet and protein pancakes. I got the Southwest skillet with chicken, chorizo, tomato, egg, and hash brown. it was so flavorful and the combination of flavors was incredible! I did the half-and-half deal for the skillet and the protein pancakes. The protein pancakes came with blueberries and oats cooked into the pancake. A perfect sweet treat! In the past, I ordered a chicken sandwich melt here. Unfortunately, the chicken was dry. So far, it seems like the best items on the menu here are the breakfast items.The restaurant itself is nothing fancy. It feels like a spacious, homey breakfast joint. Looks like there are quite a few locations in the valley. Overall, this is a solid breakfast spot!"

Burger Rush

★★★★☆ 3.5 (381) • $

"The biggest fried zucchini I have ever seen in my life!! So filling and satisfying I almost didn't have room for my plant based burger which was packed with (real beef) flavor!And let me not forget the ranch dressing was the best anywhere around just like the old school homemade, thick and delish! Definitely on my top list!"

Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers Park West

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (342) • $$

"Stopped in Thursday morning right at opening to grab a quick lunch with a friend before heading to run some other errands. We were greeted right away and asked if we had a seat preference. We chose outside since it was great weather and the misters were on. Our drink order was taken and we were given some time with the menu. I chose the Grayhawk Club while my friend had a burger. Both came out quick and looked great. Our server was wonderful, attentive and interacted with us throughout our meal. The location was clean and we left very full and happy . This is the third location I've visited and each of them has been great."

Tom's BBQ - Chandler

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (156) • $$

"I went here late afternoon so it wasn't very busy. The guy behind the counter gave off stoner vibes but took my order quickly and answered my questions. He brought out my order of fried catfish, fries, hush puppies, cornbread and peach cobbler. Despite the weird reviews from others, I found the portions quite generous... So much that I took home leftovers. The fries tasted freshly made, and the catfish was very moist and hot. The cornbread was good as well. The peach cobbler was a bit of a let down, as there were lots of very sweet topping chunks, but underneath the peaches looked and tasted like they came from a can along with some spice. But they were still tasty. Overall, a good experience... A good place to get a bite if you are in the area."

Wendy's

★★☆☆☆ 1.9 (47) • $

"While picking up coffee nearby I Decided to stop by the drive thru here to get some quick breakfast before heading towards home. This location is so tucked away in the back of this large lot that I almost didn't see it. In all honesty the only reason I did was because I drove to the end of the lot to get easier access to exit on to Anthem Way. There was no one in site and the drive thru was empty. Score for me so I could get in and out hopefully. I ordered and had my food in under five minutes. Service was ok but nothing over the top. He almost forgot part of my order until I asked. Vibe is basic as you already know if you've been to Wendy's. It's fast food so it's nothing fancy. The parking lot was clean and easy to get out to the street nearby."

Lucy's Juicy Burgers & Sandwiches

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (2)

"Honestly really enjoyed this place. I ordered the BLT, burger melt, and french dip. The BLT was so much food. And if I had my way I would have enjoyed it with a crispier bacon and with a bit less bacon on it. Over all I ll order again. The burger melt looks fun appealing but tastes really good. The french dip was delicious as well as the dipping sauce. I also really liked the ried onions and the seasoned french fries. Minus one star for charging me for a Mexican coke and giving me a regular canned coke through door dash."

Detroit Coney Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (329) • $$

"Loved it and can't wait to go back! Even fries were good and I had to get a chocolate shake which was excellent. The interior is nice with lots of seating and you order at the counter. Hot dogs today and burgers tomorrow! It's all good!"

CK's Tavern & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (332) • $$

"Cks Tavern and Grill is a wonderful and excellent tavern and grill!I have been there a few times over the last year and right when I came through the door I was greeted by a friendly host.The live entertainment,food and drinks were super and all of the Management and staff were very kind and attentive. Especially Server Allyson who was very sweet and friendly. She was very patient although she was attending many tables and did an excellent job taking care of all her customers!!I highly recommend CKs.Once again,the Management and all the staff are all super friendly. Leo"

5th Street Burger & Fries

★★★★★ 4.6 (360) • $$

"Burger Fact: Americans alone consume approximately 50-billion burgers a year. The average American eats a hamburger three times a week!A friend of mine is the biggest 5th Street Burger & Fries fan. After some unrelenting provocation from him to try this place, a group of us decided to grab dinner here for takeout.The first visit was a $90 order. We're talking Nashville hot fries ($5.99), Steakhouse burger with chicken substitute ($12.99 + $1), 5th Street Burger Fries ($13.99), PB & PJ Burger ($11.99), Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich ($11.99), Chili Cheese Burger ($11.99), and a Steakhouse Burger ($12.99). The burgers were pretty decent, but the fries really weren't anything special. Just pass on the fries all together, and you won't be mad. I had the PB & PJ Burger, and while delicious, when comparing it to other PB burgers around town, they're good --- I've just had better. I wouldn't mind ordering this again, but I have my eyes set on the Chili Cheese Burger.Tip: Check your bags before heading out the door. They almost left out one of our burgers, and while the cashier was super apologetic and nice about the whole thing, the cook kept arguing and insisting that the burger should be in there. Just look in the bag. We never even left the property, so no underhand stuff is happening."

Nana’s Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (177) • $$

"I've been going to nanas since they were in Georgia, and I can say they continue to blow my mind with their vegan soul food. All the new menu items are always amazing and I find a new favorite Everytime I come in. This is true vegan soul food and as someone with severe food allergies, nanas makes it possible for me to be able to enjoy food I've missed so much!!! I love that nanas keeps it exciting coming back knowing there's always something new to try makes it worth the stop Everytime."

Original Hamburger Works

★★★★☆ 3.8 (433)

"I feel like Original Hamburger Works was hyped. Was the food good? Yes, but nothing wow worthy. The spot was pretty dark and on the older side. They have burgers, chicken sandwiches, appetizer foods etc. We ordered burgers and fries. I do like the condiment bar they have. It was well stocked and gives you the option to make yourself a lettuce wrap with all the veggies possible. The fries were okay, could've used some seasoning salt. The meat was fine. Overall we left full and it wasn't expensive."
