It seems as though overnight, burgers have become the new food obsession of people of all ages. More and more burger joints are opening across the country due to their success and popularity.
Each burger place has its own features and characteristics that give it a unique personality. Some places offer healthy and organic options while others offer many different burger topping combinations.
Ten years ago when someone referred to a “burger place,” people immediately thought of fast food options such as Burger King and McDonald's, but this is definitely not the case anymore. Now there are a variety of burger places that range from super casual to more restaurant style options.
Here is a list of ten awesome burger places that everyone needs to try.
1. Bareburger
Bareburger is known for serving organic and all natural burgers. Also, the menu lets you build your own burger with bun, meat, sauce, and topping options. They currently have locations in New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Toronto, Connecticut, and Ohio.
2. Bobby’s Burger Palace
Bobby’s Burger Palace is a burger chain that is owned by celebrity chef Bobby Flay. This restaurant gives customers the option of “crunchify” their burger, which means adding potato chips to their burger. This may sound a little weird, but it is actually delicious and I promise you will be immediately hooked. There are many locations throughout the country.
3. The Counter
The Counter is known for their custom-built burgers. Customers can create their own burger by choosing the meat, bun, cheese, sauce, topping, and side.

9. Smashburger
Smashburger serves a quality burger but what makes them stand out are their haystack onions. These onion rings are unique because they are very thin and filled with flavor. Eat these sparingly because it is easy to become addicted. There are many locations in the U.S. and other countries.
10. The Filling Station
The Filling Station is an old-fashion style burger place that only has outdoor picnic tables for seating. This place is unique because it sets up a simple atmosphere for the customers. They have two locations in Rockland County, New York and all of their food is locally sourced.
There are many different types of burger places for everyone to try depending on one’s personal preferences. Remember to keep an open mind and to go outside of your usual orders when going to each of these burger places or other new restaurants.
