There’s nothing as satisfying as a perfectly cooked, juicy hamburger. (Unless you’re a vegetarian, of course.) Add some cheese, bacon, onion, pickles and any other toppings your little heart desires and you’re bound to have dreams about such deliciousness.
So just where can you find these unreal, the-stuff-that-dreams-are-made-of burger creations in the U.S.? We’re going to help you out.
The best people to ask about where to find great burgers are other burger eaters. As consumers like us, they are honest about food and have nothing to lose by sharing their favorite (or not so favorite) restaurants and menu items. So, we scoured the net for the highest rated, best reviewed burgers from across America.

Wagyu Say?! Burger from Burgers and Things
It’s not like you need a reason to go to Hawaii. But just in case you’re trying to convince someone else, let the Wagyu Say?! Burger be that reason. It’s one of the items on the menu at Burgers and Things in Honolulu.
The Wagyu beef burger is braised in a mustard jus, topped with sautéed mushrooms and onions and then covered in horseradish sauce. It also comes with lettuce and tomatoes. And if you think that sounds good by itself, add a side of the Kim Chee Li Fries to really treat your taste buds.
Pioneer Burger from Ground
This Tennessee restaurant is located just south of Nashville and specializes in burgers and sandwiches. Among its offerings are a bunless burger served with avocado, tomato and lettuce, a burger stuffed with pepper jack cheese and jalapenos, and a bacon mushroom Swiss burger.
But the real menu masterpiece is one of Ground’s more simple burgers: the Pioneer Burger. It’s about as classic as they come, made with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, choice of cheese, mayo, mustard and ketchup. Cheese choices are American, Parmesan, Cheddar, Pepper Jack, Swiss, Provolone and Bleu Cheese. The restaurant also features a “design it your way” option that allows you to select your choice of burger or chicken sandwich, along with cheese and toppings.
Bocado Burger Stack from Bocado
The rotating seasonal menu at Bocado makes it difficult to serve food that customers can come back for on a regular basis. But if you’re lucky enough to find the Bocado Burger Stack on the menu, it’s one of the most raved about in the nation and well worth trying. It comes with American cheese, pickles and fries.
While it may not sound fancy, there’s something about it that’s irresistible. The burger is generally available on the lunch menu but also makes appearances at dinner time. Both menus change often, depending on what local produce is available.
