Americans eat a lot of burgers \u2014 an average of three a week<\/a>, according to one study.

When you\u2019re in the mood for the best burger in Denver, you have plenty to choose from. Many local restaurants are known for at least one great burger on their menus.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re new to the area, use this list as your guide to finding the best burger near your new home. If you\u2019re a longtime resident, here\u2019s a chance to expand your burger horizons.<\/p>\n

5280 Burger Bar<\/h2>\n

500 16th Street Mall, Denver
\n(303) 825-1020
\nhttps:\/\/www.5280burgerbar.com\/downtown-denver<\/a><\/p>\n

Located on the ground floor of the 16th Street Mall, this eatery is consistently described as \u201chidden\u201d yet very busy in reviews. The menu\u2019s \u201cburger\u201d listings include everything from a standard beef hamburger to a lobster roll. One popular option is the Ring of Fire, which includes angus beef, pepper jack cheese, habanero and serrano peppers, lettuce, chipotle mayo and the house-made Ring of Fire sauce. One Yelp reviewer found the Ring of Fire to be \u201ctasty but very spicy.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a full kid\u2019s menu and an attached ice creamery, so it\u2019s a family friendly destination.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Briar Common Brewery + Eatery<\/h2>\n

2298 Clay Street, Denver
\n(720) 512-3894
\nhttps:\/\/www.briarcommon.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

As the name suggests, it\u2019s a brewery first, although its slogan is \u201cnot your average brewery.\u201d You probably want to get a reservation for this spot because it is popular, small, and frequently crowded. If the weather\u2019s nice, ask to be seated on the rooftop patio. There\u2019s also a beer garden (where dogs are welcome) and indoor dining.<\/p>\n

The menu<\/a> here includes full meals, pub snacks, salads, and burgers served with house kettle chips. The Briar Burger is the one you\u2019ve probably heard about with pork belly, Swiss cheese, a fried egg, and truffle aioli on top. Another great option is the Beer-Bq Burger with bacon, American cheese, Briar Pale Ale BBQ sauce, fried onion rings, aioli and pickles. Bring your appetite \u2014 \u201cThe burgers are massive<\/a>,\u201d according to one Yelp review.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Cherry Cricket<\/h2>\n

2641 E. 2nd Avenue, Denver
\n(303) 322.7666
\nhttps:\/\/cherrycricket.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

With expansive indoor and outdoor dining areas, this Cherry Creek diner has been a Denver fave since the end of World War II. (There\u2019s a smaller version of the restaurant at the ballpark, too.)<\/p>\n

For burger lovers, the must-try here is the 303 Green Chile Relleno burger, winner of the 2019 Denver Burger Battle. The sandwich includes a \u00bd pound hamburger, white cheddar cheese, a chile relleno, Denver-style pork green chile, and a brioche bun. If you\u2019re more of a \u201chave it your way\u201d type, you can order a burger (regular, turkey, veggie, bison, or charbroiled chicken breast), then select toppings from a menu of over three dozen burger toppers (from American cheese to sauerkraut). The portions are big, too.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Hopdoddy Burger Bar<\/h2>\n

1747 Wynkoop Street, Denver
\n(303) 446-2337
\nhttps:\/\/www.hopdoddy.com\/locations\/unionstation<\/a><\/p>\n

Hopdoddy is a popular hangout for Rockies fans to grab a burger before a game at Coors Field. The restaurant is in Union Station, just a few blocks from the ballpark. Popular burgers here include the Magic Shroom, with goat cheese, mushrooms, basil pesto, and mayo. If you like your burgers hot and spicy, the El Diablo has pepper jack cheese, habanero and serrano peppers, caramelized onions, salsa roja, and chipotle aioli. For something different, you can choose from specialty burgers such as ground sushi-grade tuna, ground chicken or bison, or a veggie burger.<\/p>\n

Hopdoddy is also known for its shareable size order of fries, topped with parmesan and truffles. These fries seem to have their own fan club considering how often they\u2019re mentioned by locals and visiting out-of-towners.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Misfit SnackBar<\/h2>\n

3401 Colfax Ave, Denver
\nhttps:\/\/misfitsnackbar.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Misfit SnackBar, located inside Middleman bar, describes its food as \u201cinventive takes on traditional bar snacks,\u201d and of course that includes burgers. The menu is seasonal and may include quail, fried coconut shrimp roulade, or patty pan fritters, depending on time of year and which culinary influences chef Bo Porytko wants to play with. However, the cheeseburger with the name you can\u2019t say in front of your kids is a staple, always available and always delicious, according to fans.<\/p>\n

Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler describes the patrons<\/a> at Misfit SnackBar as \u201clooking like they could be musicians or DJs\u201d exuding a \u201clive and let live\u201d attitude. So a cool, laidback place for you and your adult friends to try.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

My Brother\u2019s Bar<\/h2>\n

2376 15th St, Denver
\n(303) 455-9991
\nhttps:\/\/www.mybrothersbar.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not every day you get to dine at the oldest bar in town, but My Brother\u2019s Bar claims that distinction. The bar has been in business continuously since 1873. The best-in-Denver burgers came a little later, when the current owners took over in 1970.<\/p>\n

The Brother\u2019s claim to fame, burger-wise, is the Johnny Burger, which includes jalape\u00f1o cream cheese, American cheese, Swiss cheese, and grilled onions. If that\u2019s a little cheese heavy for you, focus just on the jalape\u00f1o cream cheese by ordering the JCB (which stands for jalape\u00f1o cream cheese burger, of course). You can also get your basic hamburger, cheeseburger, or bison burger, all served with a condiment tray. Other choices include cold sandwiches, soup, salads, and a kid\u2019s menu.<\/p>\n

The ambience is a casual, old-school bar with a sense of history. The bar offers a rotating selection of draft beers, including German beers, along with wine and liquor.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Snarfburger<\/h2>\n

1001 E 11th Ave. Denver and 2535 Federal Blvd, Denver
\nhttps:\/\/www.snarfburger.com\/denver-11th-ave<\/a><\/p>\n

Snarfburger is more of a fast-food place than many of the other eateries on this list, but its fans love it just the same. You can try the traditional Snarfburger \u2014 a single or double patty served with your choice of toppings, including avocado, hatch chile, or bologna. Snarfburger also has specialty burgers like the Bacon Guac, Onion Ring Burger, and Sweet Heat. If you\u2019re not feeling meaty, you can grab a Veggie Burger. Sides include tots, fries, onion rings, or \u201cFrings\u201d \u2014 a combo of fries and rings for those times when both options sound too good to pass up.<\/p>\n

Yelp reviews<\/a> of Snarfburger are a little mixed, with negative reviews citing slow service and cold fries. Positive reviews are stridently good: \u201cBurgers are bomb. Staff is always friendly. Probably some of the best burgers in the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Stoic & Genuine<\/h2>\n

1701 Wynkoop St, Denver
\n(303) 640-3474
\nhttps:\/\/stoicandgenuine.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Stoic & Genuine is primarily a fresh seafood house and oyster bar, featuring seafood that\u2019s flown in daily to this women-owned business located in Union Station. Huge windows, high ceilings, and lots of wood set the tone for this elegant, modern restaurant that\u2019s been in business since 2014.<\/p>\n

This is a place you go for oysters, Maine lobster, and crab legs. But if you end up at Stoic & Genuine for lunch, and you\u2019re just not feeling like fish, the CAB Double Cheeseburger is there for you. Served with American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and onions, it looks unassuming on the menu but it has landed Stoic & Genuine on several \u201cBest Burger in Denver\u201d lists. One Yelp reviewer<\/a> described it as \u201cperfectly cooked,\u201d praised the soft bun, and declared it met the criteria for a best burger in Denver candidate.<\/p>\n
