The Most Scrumptious Burgers in Tucson

Smokey Mo

★★★★☆ 4.4 (702) • $$

"The mesquite bbq sauce was outstanding. I ordered the 4 piece bbq. I got brisket, pulled pork, tritip and hot links with four sides. This is enough food for at least four meals. It came with 4 sides. Everyone was a home run. Perfectly cooked with a great Smokey flavor. I got onion rings as one of the sides and they were just like I like them. Great batter that didn't fall apart. I took the beans and Mac and cheese sides home with me.My friend got the catfish special and ate it all. Said it was one of the best catfish dish he ever had and it came with coleslaw and ff. He did mention that the ff were a little soggy but good.The person taking orders was friendly and very helpful. She explained the daily special and said it changed daily ( the daily specials are on their website ).We ate on their patio because their small dining room was full. Very nice patio. My friend said that the restroom was very clean and heated on this brisk day. I would highly recommend it for fans of Texas style mesquite bbq."

Silver Saddle Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 3.9 (855) • $$$

"We just had another GREAT Tucson steak dinner here! Mike was our server and was simply the best. NY strip was cooked to perfection They have horseradish in two separate intensities if that's your thing Be sure to order the mud pie!Note to manager. Please consider signage saying "Users of electronics MUST wear headphones to not distract other diners." There was a clueless family whose child was watching an iPad with sound on. Rude but can be managed with assertive action. Thanks!"

Zinburger

★★★★☆ 4 (797) • $$

"New Year's Day and understaffed but they rocked it. Our burgers came out quickly and were delicious, $8 each from the Happy Hour menu. The place seemed a little dirty but I mean it was New Years and they were busy. The only thing I noticed is that it was very cold inside, cooler than outside and it was winter. They definitely need to adjust their thermostat. Overall great experience.The banana cream pie was to die for!"

Divine Bovine Burgers

★★★★☆ 4.4 (539) • $$

"Ordered for pick up recently and had a pleasant experience! Friendly counter service, fast turnaround on the burgers and a delicious margarita on tap while I waited ! The inside was clean and they have a good amount of seating. Definitely try the house made tots! Great burger place!"

Truland Burgers & Greens

★★★★☆ 4.1 (588) • $$

"I saddled up to their bar for a quick burger & a beer midday & was quickly helped by a pleasant server from behind the bar who also appeared to be waiting tables. Ordered the burger of the month which was a Poblano burger, food arrived quickly & I really enjoyed the crunchy/crispy edges of the 2 smash burger style patties. I prefer a more well done burger & this one was perfect. Bun & toppings were fresh, it wasn't a towering huge burger & didn't fall apart thanks to the large toothpick holding it together. Inside the restaurant was quiet & clean, about half full. I'd recommend this to any burger lovers & Will be back to try more from the menu. It was $14.99 for just the burger which is a little pricey, but it was an outstanding burger."

Redbird Scratch Kitchen + Bar

★★★★★ 4.5 (392) • $$

"Atmosphere- got a seat quickly, vibey place! The seats were a tad bit close together but not too bad.Service- quick service the whole time, server was nice! Food- Ordered the Crispy Nashville Arizona sandwich And the Polo Asada Taco. The sandwich didn't blow me away but we got sauce on the side so maybe shouldn't have done that. Taco was good!"

Greek Islands Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (409) • $$

"We ate here the first night in the area. We had the basic gyros and the baklava. The gyros were priced similarly to most Greek restaurants. The size of the gyros was large. Definitely got our money's worth. The staff was ver personable. The restaurant is decorated in a modern vacation-like motif. Very clean. The baklava was decent. I'm not a connoisseur of baklava. We are in the area for the winter. We plan on visiting again soon."

Nurd Berger Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (353) • $$

"Great food.Service is very good!Ambiance is good, close small indoors seating but nice, great outdoor dining!The future of parking is questionable with apartments opening across the street.I always enjoy!!!!"

Haven Burgers

★★★★☆ 4.3 (369) • $$

"It dawned on me that I went to a place known for burgers and didn't try a burger.... So I made a return visit and I was not disappointed. I had the Haven Burgerand it was so flavorful. Man I was in flavor heaven. I cannot recommend this enough. This is becoming one of my favorite places."

Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers Gilbert

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (595) • $$

"Food is good - standard American staples. This is my third time at this location and it will be my last. The service at the bar, well...it just stinks. Visited on a Saturday afternoon, college games on but bar and restaurant only 1/4 full. Ordered cocktail and asked for a food menu. Fifteen minutes later, I asked one of the two bartenders on shift (bar back also on shift) if I could place a food order. Sure. There's basic math: the more a customer orders, the higher the tip. And, there's just basic customer service. Both were lacking.Blue 32 for me."

The Longhorn Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (502) • $$

"Affordable, great food and the staff were so friendly. I was glad to find this gem. Definitely worth it!"

George's Gyros

★★★★☆ 4.4 (289) • $$

"I stopped in for lunch yesterday and was very pleased with my meal. My Gyro was stuffed full and tasted great, and my side salad was freaking terrific. The prices were great too. Win win!"

Mugsy Dogs

★★★★☆ 4.1 (321) • $$

"We love this Mugsys! They are always really nice, there are always people there but never a long wait! It's not a huge place but that's never been a problem. We have always found a table. Their french fries are always sooo good!!! We love all their hot dogs and hamburgers. There are a lot of choices and we've loved everything honestly. Musgy Dogs really does hot dogs the best."

Beaut Burger

★★★★☆ 4.2 (270) • $$

"I ordered the "not animal style" burger and added bacon + the sweet potato friends with fresh herb oil!The burger was super tasty and I enjoyed that it was a true veggie burger instead of an impossible patty. The fries had so much flavor and weren't soggy even though I ordered through DoorDash. I would absolutely recommend these as they were the best fries I've had in Tucson.The portion was not that big which was perfect for me but keep that in mind. I would compare the fries to a small at a fast food place (which was surprising because they were around $5). But once again, super yummy so I was not upset.Overall, very great and I am excited to try more items on the menu!"

Toast 101

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (377) • $$

"My first time there and I was very pleased with the biscuits and gravy. Great atmosphere great staff great food. I'll be back for sure."

Portillo's Tucson

★★★★☆ 4.1 (217) • $$

"The chocolate cake! The chocolate cake! Ok ok yeah they have good burgers and dogs too. Haha. This place has the most awesome decor. Straight from Chicago all the way to Tucson. We are so lucky. I love the Chicago style dogs. You can get sweet or hot peppers, ketchup, mustard, onion. The burgers are amazing. Full of that juicy beefy flavor. I love the old school fries. Crinkle cut. The Chicago style beef sandwich is my favorite. I get it dry with the sauce on the side. You can get sweet or hot peppers. Very fresh bread and just the best of flavor like it came right out of the oven. You can also get the beef to go and make it at home!But you must leave with some chocolate cake!"

Coffee X Change

★★★★☆ 3.8 (246) • $$

"Coffee exchange should be Coffee extreme!Great coffee/drink selection.The food comes out quick and hot. The service a great. And the prices are great. Definitely a go to spot for coffee and food."

Surly Wench Pub

★★★★☆ 4.1 (208) • $

"My first visit to this spot.. I found parking on 4th Avenue and picked the closest place to grab a bite. It was about 6pm so the bar was not packed or busy with the younger crowd from UofA but they were getting ready for a comedy show later in the evening.I grabbed a seat at the bar .. the space is dark and goth .. black leather bar stools & a fully stocked bar. Plenty of seating and a stage in a side room for shows.I opted for the Prickly Heat cocktail .. the bartender said it was hot .. it was spicy hot .. jalapeño & habanero hot with prickly pear sweetness and a tajin rim... so good and the prettiest shade of pink. From the food menu of tacos, burgers, appetizers I decided on the Royale burger & a side of tots. It came out quickly and wow it was juicy, flavorful and served on a buttery bun. Great burger!!! The tots were great too, not greasy at all, they were served with ranch and ketchup. Unfortunately I had to drive back to Phoenix and hate driving through the dark desert so I didn't stay for another cocktail or the comedy show but I will definitely be back."

Graze Premium Burgers

★★★★☆ 4 (195) • $$

"Gosh I love Graze. It's my go-to burger spot when I want grass fed beef and quality ingredients. The people who work there are so friendly, and some of them have been there a while which makes it feel familiar. Love that they have drinks, too. Cute n fast place to eat with indoor and outdoor seating. They have locally made sodas, too. And lots of yummy sauces. I like the "fry sauce.""

Midtown Vegan Deli and Market

★★★★★ 4.7 (135) • $$

"When this place first opened, I wasn't very impressed. But my most recent visit changed my mind. My burger was amazing, generous in size, and the tots as well. Very friendly staff, and some great items for sale. The Blackbird pizza!Highly recommend this place now."

Amigos Burgers and Beer

★★★★☆ 3.9 (195) • $

"Excellent food and well priced. Support local Tucson restaurants!The Rodeo Burger was excellent! You won't find a better hamburger than Amigos!"

The Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (163) • $$

"This is a wonderful place, service and food is amazing. The Balsamic mushroom burger is incredible"

Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (221)

"Came in for Happy Hour with a friend on a Friday night. It was busy, LOTS of TV's, great for watching sports, and something different on every screen! There's a nice outside seating area with heat lamps and an outside bar. Our service was good, and the food was great! My friend didn't love her PB and J sliders, but we had beers, and happy hour pretzels with cheese that were thick and fluffy, there was an herb in the cheese sauce that I would have preferred not be there, but it was still so good! I had the juicy lucy and cole slaw - the cole slaw was thick cut and creamy - excellent! The burger was cooked perfectly, and the melty cheese inside hit the spot along with the beer! Great experience!"

Beast of Bourbon Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (264) • $$

"Ok. The reviews aren't lying. There are some challenges. The ladies that work here are very friendly and deserve all the praise. Food is typical for a spot like this. Not Michelin Chef but also not Applebees. Fair enough. My service has always been excellent. As someone who is trying to convince my sports fanatic friends this is better than cogburns. I would say it fails. ONLY because the projector and TV situation is not a priority. Went to watch college football playoffs and the projector was down. I heard this is normal. Unacceptable to any true sports fanatic. Sports should be the priority. You couple this with good service and you'll get my money 4/7 nights week. My recommendation is to ownership. Invest 1000$ in upholstery for the booths. Fix the projector and it's going to pay for itself. Marina and the other gals are exceptional. 4 stars for service. That's it."

Burger House

★★★★☆ 3.8 (172) • $

"I pass through the area frequently. I often stop here for a burro. Either green or red, both are good. The green one is a little spicier. They are nicely wrapped and filled with quality ingredients. I usually opt for shredded beef, but I like the plain bean ones, too. Stopping in for a burro is almost a given when I'm in the area."

Thunder Bacon Burger

★★★★★ 4.6 (110) • $$

"Ambiance: cool hole on the wallService: Friendly, Approachable Food: Valhalla-worthyWe ordered the Big Kahuna, the Inception and to shared Tinder Style Loaded Tots.Thunder Sauce: 1000 IslandNote: I totally intended to take a photo of the burgers. They were big and juicy, burgers come with pattys - I think. Ours did. *rolling out of here."

Chicagoland Hotdogs & More

★★★★☆ 3.6 (176) • $$

"Tried a new place today. I've driven by this place so many times and decided I would give it a try. BEST decision I made today. Ordered a jumbo beef hotdog with mustard and sauerkraut, fried zucchini and mushrooms. The portions were great and the price reasonable. The staff was so warm and welcoming so I will definitely be going back again."

Gold Stallion Restaurant

Underground Burger

★★★★☆ 4.2 (104) • $$

"After tons of friends recommended this place, we had to try it. I downloaded the app and placed order. The app was very easy to navigate. It even offered a free milkshake and has a reward program. My husband and I both ordered the underground burger, he added bacon and I had grilled onions. We ordered the waffle fries to share and had the chocolate shake. When we got there to pick up the order, it was ready to-go. We got home and enjoyed our burgers. Can't believe it took us this long to try it!"

Bob Dobbs

★★★★☆ 3.5 (145) • $

"Met up with a couple of my girlfriends as one of them recommended the place. Food and drinks were pretty good, definitely will visit again."

Smashburger

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (152) • $

"I love smash burger!! I always get the same thing. Classic Smash, single patty with bacon. I dream about this burger when I haven't had one in a while. Now for the down side... I wish they had better fries but I'll give that up for this burger and the fries are always hot. I've had a couple burgers that weren't completely smashed crispy but all restaurants struggle with quality control sometimes. I'll give them a pass and still go again."

Good Burger Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (105) • $

"I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger. AWESOME!! Fresh veggies and super tasty. Super fair price. The two ladies working were sooo friendly. The place is clean. I highly recommend this joint. Can't wait to go backFYI, the fries are skinny."

Old School Grub

★★★★☆ 3.8 (108) • $$

"We stopped in after setting up our both upstairs. One of the owners are a sweet couple and so so friendly. They had karaoke which made it fun. I had the cod dinner and it was awesome. We are from the Midwest and have had a hard time finding a good beer batter fish fry. My husband had the Hatch green chili burger and also enjoyed his food. We were impressed by both the owners stopping at our table to welcome us and thank us for stopping in. It was truly a great experience. Our waitress was also very attentive. Everyone was wearing a mask and it was a clean place."
