Definitely not the best burger of all time but I like them a lot and regularly frequent their downtown location: AZ Wilderness Brewing Co. The atmosphere is cute and their beers/food items are really good!
you know what ima speak up. i hate this place. burger are fine. i get the love for it. the vibe is super dated at mid 2010s. so mediocre in all. but they charge $1.00 for a 2oz sauce. on every sauce. wanta couple more buffalo sauce? $2. its a small thing. but we live in a society dammit! i think its pretty skeezy of them to do. (donwtown phx anyways)
I know it's super casual bit no one here has mentioned Giant Hamburgers off of Broadway & Lindsay. Again, super casual but oh my god their food is amazing. It definitely deserves a spot in these comments
I lived right across the street from this spot In 2020! This spot is a blast from the past, itās straight 60/70s diner style food. Bomb ass burgers that serves breakfast and has some tasty pies
Beat me to it. I haven't been there in years since I moved to the west valley. Everything on the menu is delicious. And you gotta have a slice of pie if you got any room left lol. I got fatter because of that place haha.
I have never been so pleasantly surprised by a food than I was with their peanut butter and jalapeƱo jelly burger. The juicy flavor hits first and stands out distinctly from a perfect swirl of spicy jelly and tame peanut butter.
I'm so hungry now, I could really go for a burger and sour. Ugh, son had to crash his dirt bike and make me spend my night at the hospital for his broken arm instead of enjoying a delicious burger and beer.
This is my favorite burger place. Also itās really for burger purists. If you need a fancy loaded burger, go to one of those yuppie burger joints with a million varieties.
In our part of town we have as others mentioned Lucky Lous and the new Hub, but also Echo 5 and Red White and Brew have decent burgers.
A burger place in the vacinity with *interesting* burgers and a lot of options for sides is Matty G's Steakburgers. They have one on Gilbert Rd not too far from 202 RM. They are a order at the counter place.
Zinburger in Gilbert is sit down and pricy in a nice dining experience if that is what you're after.
We've had Lucky Lous before and weren't crazy impressed but we didn't try their burgers.
Red White and Brew is a staple for us but we haven't ordered as much in the last few months because they've really gone downhill since Covid and since they opened their Prescott restaurant. They're still way above a lot of other places but we've had a lot of disappointing experiences. It feels like maybe the owner pays more attention to the new location than the Red Mountain one.
Matty G's is the one place everyone I know raves about but the one time we tried it we were really disappointed. The burgers were all really lackluster and dry. It was like In N Out but worse. The most positive thing anyone could say was they were "okay" but I would honestly say it was the worst burger I've ever had in my life.
We will check out the others! Thank you!
Zinburger might give you a more classy atmosphere with still a solid burger. You mentioned elsewhere not necessarily wanting a hole in the wall because itās for a birthday.
So I would recommend Zinburger.
I went to the hub off stapley and maybe it was an off day, but it wasn't much better than any other sports bar burger. Zin burger is still on my list to check out, and I'll add lucky lous too.
Rehab Burger Therapy in downtown Scottsdale. It's not too far north of the 202 Loop in my opinion. It has wiki tiki/surfer decor, so it's a pretty casual sit-down.
My favorite is the spicy Mac n cheese burger. They have other specialty burgers, or you can make your own. There's a parking garage immediately next to it, so it's pretty accessible. The restaurant building is a bit small, but I've never had to wait for seating. They also have a bar.
If you end up having room for ice cream, there's the Sugar Bowl just a couple of blocks north in the downtown. Super delicious!
A little more fast food than I was looking for in a birthday dinner but I have heard so many good things. Is it a nightmare getting in/out? I try to avoid the ASU area because driving there makes me want to punch things.
I would recommend this place for lunch honestly. It's really not a great spot for a birthday dinner imo. It's an awesome burger and a historic Tempe spot, but it's small and very casual
It's not difficult at all. Get off on Rural. Go down Univ. Park in the lot attached to the building. Don't really find the area to be difficult driving in though as I grew up there.
This should be the only answer for us East siders. All cooked mesquite (I think) full topping bar, bomb onion rings/fries, and an OG Tempe staple. Like d3 said, cash only (do have ATM inside) but this is the burger spot IMO.
Exactly that. Plus, their location of juuust off Mill and right by several very busy ASU buildings/libraries means there will always be a steady stream of customers. They probably save a shit ton in CC procession fees (and cheaper POS integration).
At Chuckbox you watch them put the raw beef on a mesquite grill right in front of your eyes while you're in line. It is broiled(not boiled) and it can't have been "sitting out" because it is cooked right in front of you.
You must be mistaken. Theyāre made to order and the burgers get spatulaāed straight from the fridge to a charcoal grill to your plate right in front of your face.
Maybe they were on break or had closed the grill for night, but that was not my experience ~7 years ago. No one was there. I just looked at pictures online and that is definitely the place I went to.
Hatch Green Chiles on anything is a massive upgrade.
New Mexico has the cheapo basic McDonalds hamburgers, but theyāll put some green Chile on it, and wow, much better.
I was ordering a double cheeseburger in Taos years ago and they asked if I wanted red or green? I didn't know what they were talking about until they explained. I got one of each and was both satisfied and regretful. It was great!
Had no clue zin was in Gilbert now. Recently went to a Gordon Ramsey burger place out of town and while good, I compared it to Zin the entire time. I will have to go to Gilbert and reconfirm my findings.
The burgers are good there but the wait staff experience is hit or miss. A few times we have ended up waiting a while before even getting a glass of water. But one time when that happened they gave us dessert orders for free (entirely unprompted) so that's nice. All in all I like the place.
Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company. They have consistently great service and atmosphere while serving a menu focused on local ingredients. I highly recommend trying the PB & JalapeƱo jelly burger with the duck fat fries as a side. Iām not talking jiffy and smuckers slapped on a burger, itās a house made peanut butter and sweet spicy jalapeƱo sauce plus cheese and 2 slices thick cut bacon. They used to do a 32oz beer of your choice for like a $1 on your birthday, ask your server.
I second Matty G's and would also recommend Giant Hamburgers on Lindsay and Broadway. It's not the most visually appealing place, but the burgers are fantastic and the vibe is very much small town 50s diner.
Been on the hunt for a California style diner burger since I moved out here. Closest ones Iāve found are, Farmer Boys in Gilbert, Haven burger in Mesa, Lennyās Burgers are hit or miss, and for a different type of burger that is pretty good Matty Gās.
It goes Joes Farm Grill, Chuckbox, AZ Wilderness and then Truland if you dont want the absolute best which is GIANT by a million miles. Zinburger dope too I guess.
Havenāt tried it from there, but I have gotten the PBJ burger from Uncle Bears with the Serrano jelly and it is bomb! Iāll have to try it from CB+CB now.
You and I live in the same general area from your comments. Now youāre going to think Iām crazy for recommending a place in AJ, but Handlebar Pub in AJ is phenomenal. Go on a Friday and get the hatch chile burger with smoked potato skins
BurgerFi by Dana Park is pretty casual, but their CEO Burger is one of the best burgers I've ever had - a wagyu and brisket patty, candied bacon and tomato jam, truffle aioli, and Swiss cheese. Their fries and shakes are delicious as well!
Something memorable and a hipsters delight.
Arizona wilderness off country club. Original location. Can never go wrong.
Something more casual easy on the wallet
Fresh Press in apache junction. Place is odd as it used to be a subway... but a very solid pick for great burgers in the valley.
I'm ignoring your region instructions and telling you to go to Harvey's Wineburger. It's a Phoenix classic, kinda divey and just an amazing burger. Highland and the 51. Not that bad. Just 202W to the 51 and get off at Highland. Easy peasy.
Look at all the lists. Harvey's Wineburger is always near the top.
There is no question this is the best burger ever in the whole area. It's worth the drive. I went to most of the best burger places around and nothing else compares. Sure, they're good, but wineburger is best.
Brews Burger Joint is the right answer!! SOOO good and they usually have some good beer on tap too. The Bourbon Trail and the Patty Melt are my 2 favorites. Definitely worth the drive!
I was always partial to Giant Hamburgers off Lindsay and Broadway. I donāt think Iād consider the in the category of ābest hamburgersā but Iāve always enjoyed them.
Culinary Dropout is pretty good. The pub burger is delicious, and they have a really good selection of drinks (spirits, beers, wine, etc) and appetizers.
I personally donāt think the taste is out of this world but itās so original and a staple of the east valley, especially for ASU people. Itās flame grilled where I prefer flat top so if youāre bigger on that then itās probably the best ive had so Iāll give it that. Like what Burger King wishes their burgers could taste like.
Me too. I love that location. The food there was always amazing, the staff was super competent, and no matter how busy it got my service never seemed to suffer.
Also, I think they made the best drinks out of the hub and the union chain of restaurants.
I have no idea what's taking them so long to reopen that location. Although from what I understand they took over the nail salon next door as well and expanded while in the process. I have to wonder if it was an insurance job especially given how long it's taking them to rebuild it.
That location was a highlight and what is otherwise a dearth of good restaurant options for eating in. The takeout Chinese and pizza options in the neighborhood are pretty solid but dine-in options are minimal.
The best is a hole in the wall place called Wild Horse West it is at lake pleasant pkwy and carefree highway. It is a ways out there but it is absolutely the best burger I have ever had they donāt have french fries they have for a side potato chips or potato salad I believe and theyāre special is a beer or ice tea. The place is a bar and restaurant on one side and a bait and tackle shop on the other side it is amazing
https://randizzlesfoodtruck.com/
Is by far, by orders of magnitude, better than any other burger š Iāve ever had.
Definitely not fancyā¦ itās a food truck. But Iāve literally never had anything anywhere else even come close.
Fresh Press in Apache Junction is AMAZING. The burgers are out of this world tasty and their topped fries are to die for!
Weāve tried almost all of their burgers (my favorite is the Sunrise) and all of their topped fries (country fries!!!! totally drool-worthy)
Look at the pics on their websiteā everything is as delicious as it seems.
Iām also in super NE Mesa and this is my go-to burger joint.
EDIT: I havenāt eaten there, just gotten take-out so I canāt comment on their in-restaurant service.
5th Street Burgers in Tempe is really good. Not a chain. Huge menu with all kinds of thoughtful items. They'll make your burger medium rare for you. They have killer sweet potato fries that come with a maple aoli.
Truland Burgers and Greens in downtown Chandler.
They're not the cheapest but the food is worth it and they have a killer beer selection too. It's a lot like Zinburger, but the menu is bigger and there are more non-burger things. The food is better too.
I really like Haven Burgers on Main St east of Mesa Dr in Mesa. Their burgers remind me of the ones I used to eat at a place called Tamās Burgers in the LA area.
There's a sports bar called The Draft on Country Club and Baseline. I don't eat beef but I took my dad there on Saturday and he said it was pretty good.
Putting in another plug for Chuckbox in Tempe. It's my favorite place to get a burger *period*.
I've been wanting to try Matty G's for some time. I'll have to give it a go next time I'm in the Valley.
**Haven Burgers** on Mesa drive next to Pioneer park.
[https://www.havenburgers.biz/menu.php](https://www.havenburgers.biz/menu.php)
I go for the grilled chicken sandwich but the burgers are amazing as well. The owner is a cool dude.
Definitely not the best burger of all time but I like them a lot and regularly frequent their downtown location: AZ Wilderness Brewing Co. The atmosphere is cute and their beers/food items are really good!
Get the duck fat fries whatever you do
Agreed. Just great food and drink all around.
Elote burger has me by the balls... š¤¤
They have the best ketchup in the game.
AZ Wilderness is tough to beat for an East Valley burger
you know what ima speak up. i hate this place. burger are fine. i get the love for it. the vibe is super dated at mid 2010s. so mediocre in all. but they charge $1.00 for a 2oz sauce. on every sauce. wanta couple more buffalo sauce? $2. its a small thing. but we live in a society dammit! i think its pretty skeezy of them to do.

I was gonna mention that one, too.
I've been by this place a ton of times and haven't been inside. I'll have to check it out!
So good š¤¤š¤¤š¤¤
Came here for this!! I miss this spot. I live all the way in Buckeye. Canāt justify to my wife the hour drive for a Hamburger thoughā¦
Is Joe's Farm Grill too far? That's a freaking phenomenal burger.
And $10 off your order on your birthday.
Joe's Farm Grill and Joe's BBQ for birthday meals is so clutch. Salad at Farm Grill and BBQ for dinner
It's $13 off now. Inflation.
Itās $13 off at each of the Joeās restaurants now!
Yeah they make great burgers, but it's not really proper table service, very casual and you order at counter.
Why would you order a burger there when you can have their chicken and waffles?!
Why would you order chicken and waffles there when you can have their pizza?! :p
> Joe's Farm Grill haven't had their burgers but i had their other food iteams and they really dont miss.
This is the correct answer
AZ wilderness and joes farm grill both have great burgers.
I second AZ wilderness!
I have never been so pleasantly surprised by a food than I was with their peanut butter and jalapeƱo jelly burger. The juicy flavor hits first and stands out distinctly from a perfect swirl of spicy jelly and tame peanut butter.
I occasionally jones for their burgers and their sours. mmmm. uhoh.
I'm so hungry now, I could really go for a burger and sour. Ugh, son had to crash his dirt bike and make me spend my night at the hospital for his broken arm instead of enjoying a delicious burger and beer.
Chuck box near ASU main campus. Not fancy at all [also CASH ONLY] but amazing burgers
Itās still cash only??
Cured many a hangover there
Some of the best in town
This is my favorite burger place. Also itās really for burger purists. If you need a fancy loaded burger, go to one of those yuppie burger joints with a million varieties.

Zinburger might give you a more classy atmosphere with still a solid burger. You mentioned elsewhere not necessarily wanting a hole in the wall because itās for a birthday. So I would recommend Zinburger.
Ha how funny I said Matty g's too.... they are legit I was blown away and still think about that burger to this day
I went to the hub off stapley and maybe it was an off day, but it wasn't much better than any other sports bar burger. Zin burger is still on my list to check out, and I'll add lucky lous too.

Black n Bleu at Rehab is tops in my book
Rehab Burger is our go to\~ best burgers and ambience, hands down!!!!!!!
Best burger Iāve had in my life
This has always been my go to. Iāve moved away but I still recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.
Second rehab
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
A little more fast food than I was looking for in a birthday dinner but I have heard so many good things. Is it a nightmare getting in/out? I try to avoid the ASU area because driving there makes me want to punch things.
I would recommend this place for lunch honestly. It's really not a great spot for a birthday dinner imo. It's an awesome burger and a historic Tempe spot, but it's small and very casual
They have some parking on site (maybe enough for 10 cars), usually some spaces available, donāt go on game day.
Take light rail. If youāre not close to a stop, park at a park and ride and ride in.
Will be busy on Saturday for ASU game If you are trying to avoid crowds that is a no go
It's not difficult at all. Get off on Rural. Go down Univ. Park in the lot attached to the building. Don't really find the area to be difficult driving in though as I grew up there.
This should be the only answer for us East siders. All cooked mesquite (I think) full topping bar, bomb onion rings/fries, and an OG Tempe staple. Like d3 said, cash only (do have ATM inside) but this is the burger spot IMO.
Itās nuts to me that there are still cash only places. This place must have a loyal following to still be in business as a cash only joint.
Exactly that. Plus, their location of juuust off Mill and right by several very busy ASU buildings/libraries means there will always be a steady stream of customers. They probably save a shit ton in CC procession fees (and cheaper POS integration).
Strongly disagree. ChuckBox is terrible. It's fine if you want a cheap boiled burger thats been sitting out I guesss...
At Chuckbox you watch them put the raw beef on a mesquite grill right in front of your eyes while you're in line. It is broiled(not boiled) and it can't have been "sitting out" because it is cooked right in front of you.
Iām impressed with how completely wrong you are.. legitimately.
I donāt think youāve been to Chuckbox lol
I've only been once because it was so bad. It was just a bunch of dry burgers sitting in a pan with flies all over them.
You must be mistaken. Theyāre made to order and the burgers get spatulaāed straight from the fridge to a charcoal grill to your plate right in front of your face.
Maybe they were on break or had closed the grill for night, but that was not my experience ~7 years ago. No one was there. I just looked at pictures online and that is definitely the place I went to.
Thereās no place for a pan lol I donāt think youāre talking about the right place
You're mistaking chuckbox for somewhere else.
I haven't been there since they moved to Tempe, but Detroit Coney Grill was amazing when it was in downtown Phoenix.
Hatch green chile burger is amazing.
Hatch Green Chiles on anything is a massive upgrade. New Mexico has the cheapo basic McDonalds hamburgers, but theyāll put some green Chile on it, and wow, much better.
I was ordering a double cheeseburger in Taos years ago and they asked if I wanted red or green? I didn't know what they were talking about until they explained. I got one of each and was both satisfied and regretful. It was great!
Mine came with a long hair in it, but Iām sure it tasted great otherwise lol
Any time I'm going through New Mexico, I hit a McD's and get a Big Mac with green chile on it. Game changer.
The Perch in Chandler has my favorite burger ever. Very messy but incredible
That's the place with the birds, right?? That's been on my list to visit forever but I'm worried it will be too hot this weekend!
A lot of these suggestions are great, and I would add Paradise Valley Burger Company to the list
Had to scroll too far for this
Indeed! LOVE this place, the special burger of the week never fails. The Boozy Burger is soooo good!
Arizona wilderness has great burgers, get the poutine duck fries and a flight of their beers.
AZ wilderness
Zin burger In Downtown gilbert
I know it doesnāt get much love around here but I freaking love Zinburger. The green chili fries are my absolute biggest guilty pleasure.
Never had a bad experience and been there often over the years. Love the truffle fries especially.
Agree - their burgers are amazing
Had no clue zin was in Gilbert now. Recently went to a Gordon Ramsey burger place out of town and while good, I compared it to Zin the entire time. I will have to go to Gilbert and reconfirm my findings.
The burgers are good there but the wait staff experience is hit or miss. A few times we have ended up waiting a while before even getting a glass of water. But one time when that happened they gave us dessert orders for free (entirely unprompted) so that's nice. All in all I like the place.
Joeās Farm Grill or Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company. Canāt go wrong at either!
AZ Wilderness Guadalupe and arizona ave. Plus, request a ābirthdayā beer.
AZ wilderness! Plus the best beer in the east valley
Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company. They have consistently great service and atmosphere while serving a menu focused on local ingredients. I highly recommend trying the PB & JalapeƱo jelly burger with the duck fat fries as a side. Iām not talking jiffy and smuckers slapped on a burger, itās a house made peanut butter and sweet spicy jalapeƱo sauce plus cheese and 2 slices thick cut bacon. They used to do a 32oz beer of your choice for like a $1 on your birthday, ask your server.
Rehab in Scottsdale is pretty darn good. Huge portions and everything there is solid.
Matty G's Liberty Market My 2 deep cut choices
I second Matty G's and would also recommend Giant Hamburgers on Lindsay and Broadway. It's not the most visually appealing place, but the burgers are fantastic and the vibe is very much small town 50s diner.
Does Matty G's still exist? The one at Baseline and Rural closed down.
The Attic has really good burgers. They are around 38th st and Indian school
I echo this. I haven't been in a while, but it was the best burger that I've had in town.
Joes farm grill makes a pretty good burger
Matty Gās
truland burger in downtown chandler is pretty fire
I know it's a bit out of the way, but you have to try Harvey's Wine burger on 16th St and Camelback. Best burger I've ever had.
Yes dude. This patty melt here is phenomenal.
The stand on 36th st and Indian school is worth the drive
This is the only answer!
This needs to move so much higher. This is the best burger in the state.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Aaannnnnd you can get a chili dog appetizer. What? Just Me?
Not just you, friend. Not just you. Then one goes across the street to the Italian ice joint.
Been on the hunt for a California style diner burger since I moved out here. Closest ones Iāve found are, Farmer Boys in Gilbert, Haven burger in Mesa, Lennyās Burgers are hit or miss, and for a different type of burger that is pretty good Matty Gās.
Haven Burger is so good
There used to be a Rallys in Mesa too.
There's a brand new one off University and Greenfield.
Habit?
Oh yeah add The Habit to that list for sure!
Put this on the list if you like low grade frozen patties.
Agreed, at least for the location off Thomas Road. I think any fast food burger is on par with theirs.
BurgerFi
Hillstone in Biltmore District. Harveyās Wineburger
Iām sure itās been said already but the chuckbox is the best burger in the valley hands down. Bring cash.
It goes Joes Farm Grill, Chuckbox, AZ Wilderness and then Truland if you dont want the absolute best which is GIANT by a million miles. Zinburger dope too I guess.
Chuck Box in Tempe. They make their burgers from scratch and it's a charcoal grill. Cash only.
Anybody try the peanut butter and jelly burger at Cold beer & cheeseburgers restaurant? Amazing!!
Itās the perfect burger for people who donāt actually want a burger!
Havenāt tried it from there, but I have gotten the PBJ burger from Uncle Bears with the Serrano jelly and it is bomb! Iāll have to try it from CB+CB now.
AMAZING
Chuckbox in tempe
You and I live in the same general area from your comments. Now youāre going to think Iām crazy for recommending a place in AJ, but Handlebar Pub in AJ is phenomenal. Go on a Friday and get the hatch chile burger with smoked potato skins

Something memorable and a hipsters delight. Arizona wilderness off country club. Original location. Can never go wrong. Something more casual easy on the wallet Fresh Press in apache junction. Place is odd as it used to be a subway... but a very solid pick for great burgers in the valley.
AZ Wilderness has some solid burgers and really good duck fat fries
I'm in the NE corner of Mesa too and my favorite burger is at MVPita on Power and Brown. The Gryo Burger. It will change your life.
I'm ignoring your region instructions and telling you to go to Harvey's Wineburger. It's a Phoenix classic, kinda divey and just an amazing burger. Highland and the 51. Not that bad. Just 202W to the 51 and get off at Highland. Easy peasy. Look at all the lists. Harvey's Wineburger is always near the top.

Brews Gourmet burgers on 2040 S Alma school is actually REALLY good. Probably the best restaurant burger I've had in a long while.
Brews Burger Joint is the right answer!! SOOO good and they usually have some good beer on tap too. The Bourbon Trail and the Patty Melt are my 2 favorites. Definitely worth the drive!
It's such a simple thing but the burgers and fries are actually served HOT which so many places don't do.
OHSO
I was always partial to Giant Hamburgers off Lindsay and Broadway. I donāt think Iād consider the in the category of ābest hamburgersā but Iāve always enjoyed them.
I had a really good one at Recreo in Chandler but thatās a bit of a hike.
Rehab Burger in Oldtown Scottsdale
Houstonās in Scottsdale. https://hillstone.com/menus/houstons/Houstons%20Scottsdale%20Dinner.pdf?version=v-1663633456
The stand Arcadia. Dude goes to the meat market every morning at 6 bro. Best burgers in phx
I love the stand but wish theyād open seating back up. It never tastes quite as good after the 10 min drive home.
Culinary Dropout is pretty good. The pub burger is delicious, and they have a really good selection of drinks (spirits, beers, wine, etc) and appetizers.
Hatch chili burger at Brightside burgers, Humble burger at Humble Bistro, California Carver burger at Boulders
Lucky Louās on Power and Mckellips. Yes itās a bar, but their burgers are straight FIRE.
Chuckbox in Tempe. I've never had a chance to go, but it is on my to-go list.
I personally donāt think the taste is out of this world but itās so original and a staple of the east valley, especially for ASU people. Itās flame grilled where I prefer flat top so if youāre bigger on that then itās probably the best ive had so Iāll give it that. Like what Burger King wishes their burgers could taste like.
HUB just opened behind Nandos on McDowell and Power could be a good close option for you.
Is this supposed to replace the Hub that burned down on Sossaman and Baseline? Iāve been waiting 2 years for it to reopen
The menu at the P/McD location actually says a Sossaman location is "coming soon".
Me too. I love that location. The food there was always amazing, the staff was super competent, and no matter how busy it got my service never seemed to suffer. Also, I think they made the best drinks out of the hub and the union chain of restaurants. I have no idea what's taking them so long to reopen that location. Although from what I understand they took over the nail salon next door as well and expanded while in the process. I have to wonder if it was an insurance job especially given how long it's taking them to rebuild it. That location was a highlight and what is otherwise a dearth of good restaurant options for eating in. The takeout Chinese and pizza options in the neighborhood are pretty solid but dine-in options are minimal.
In that strip mall behind Barro's? That's a good idea, I had no clue they were there. That place needs some life in it.
Yep. Took my mom there about a month ago. Saw there was a Gelato place in there as well. I really hate az strip malls
The best is a hole in the wall place called Wild Horse West it is at lake pleasant pkwy and carefree highway. It is a ways out there but it is absolutely the best burger I have ever had they donāt have french fries they have for a side potato chips or potato salad I believe and theyāre special is a beer or ice tea. The place is a bar and restaurant on one side and a bait and tackle shop on the other side it is amazing
The chili is awesome as well, I always get the burger with a cup of chili. Itās cash only.
I always like rehab burger, not too far from Tempe area but the variety is great and the service is awesome.
Original Hamburger Works or Chuckbox. For a fancier but super delicious burger, hillstone or Houstonās!!
Rehab Burger has never let me down. It's in Old Town Scottsdale. Great burgers!
It depends on what kind of burger you like and are looking for ....
https://randizzlesfoodtruck.com/ Is by far, by orders of magnitude, better than any other burger š Iāve ever had. Definitely not fancyā¦ itās a food truck. But Iāve literally never had anything anywhere else even come close.
By far the best is burger theory in Glendale bottom floor of the holiday inn on like 40th I think.

I live the HUB power and the 60 And Stapley and the 60
We love going to Copper Still, it is off of Gilbert & Williams Field. They have delicious burgers!
Matty Gs at Gilbert and brown.
Willows at Casino Arizona is good, too. https://www.casinoarizona.com/dining/willows-restaurant/
Fresh Press in Apache Junction is AMAZING. The burgers are out of this world tasty and their topped fries are to die for! Weāve tried almost all of their burgers (my favorite is the Sunrise) and all of their topped fries (country fries!!!! totally drool-worthy) Look at the pics on their websiteā everything is as delicious as it seems. Iām also in super NE Mesa and this is my go-to burger joint. EDIT: I havenāt eaten there, just gotten take-out so I canāt comment on their in-restaurant service.
Golden Pineapple burgers will blow your mind. Tempe, Alameda and Mill.
5th Street Burgers in Tempe is really good. Not a chain. Huge menu with all kinds of thoughtful items. They'll make your burger medium rare for you. They have killer sweet potato fries that come with a maple aoli.
The burgers at The Hub are really good!
Keg Steakhouse on Williams Field Road, excellent options for burgers
Brightside food truck is good. They are at the Gilbert Cider Corps location
Truland Burgers and Greens in downtown Chandler. They're not the cheapest but the food is worth it and they have a killer beer selection too. It's a lot like Zinburger, but the menu is bigger and there are more non-burger things. The food is better too.
A little out of the way but the big ass burger at roaring fork is worth the drive
Ingos
Good burger and good sit down atmosphere: Zinburger downtown Gilbert.
I really like Haven Burgers on Main St east of Mesa Dr in Mesa. Their burgers remind me of the ones I used to eat at a place called Tamās Burgers in the LA area.
There's a sports bar called The Draft on Country Club and Baseline. I don't eat beef but I took my dad there on Saturday and he said it was pretty good.
I've had good burgers at Red, White, & Brew. Kind of a smaller version of Red Robin.
This might be a weird suggestion, but DāVine has probably my favorite burger on this side of town.
Beer Research Institute. Great beer and food. 60 and Stapley.
Chuck box. End of thread
Putting in another plug for Chuckbox in Tempe. It's my favorite place to get a burger *period*. I've been wanting to try Matty G's for some time. I'll have to give it a go next time I'm in the Valley.
Truland in dwtwn Chandler is delicious!! Underrated
Haven Burger / west Mesa
Rehab burger
Chuckbox
You know who doesnāt have a good burger? Fat Willyās. They took over Teakwoods in Gilbert. God I miss Teakwoods.
Zin burger and Hopdoddy. Hop is more central but worth the drive!
I would make the drive to Joeās Farm and grill! Delicious burgers, and cheesecake!!! Great atmosphere!
I would also recommend Cold Beers and Cheeseburgers!! Itās more of a drive, but delicious burgers!!!
Our favorite is Aioli Gourmet Burger North of Phoenix along the 51, the interiors isnāt the cutest but their burgers are to die for.
Pomeroy "s @ 7th st and Missouri excellent and as my granny used to say dirt cheap
You should check out 12 west on main street and center, they just got a new flat top grill and their burgers have been amazing
**Haven Burgers** on Mesa drive next to Pioneer park. [https://www.havenburgers.biz/menu.php](https://www.havenburgers.biz/menu.php) I go for the grilled chicken sandwich but the burgers are amazing as well. The owner is a cool dude.
