The 6 Best Burgers in Madison

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Wisconsin chapter.

Do you ever get a craving for a good burger? Well, I do all the time, especially when I’m getting into the midterm or finals grind here on campus. Luckily, Madison is chock-full of irresistible burgers. Here some guidance so you can take a study break and order the burger that screams you.

In no particular order…

1. DLUX 

Located up by the Capital Building, DLUX is a burger restaurant that was recently voted to have the #1 Burger in Madison by Madison Magazine. At DLUX you are able to enjoy a wide range of not only beef burgers, but chicken and bean patties as well!  Go try out DLUX’s burger of the month which is called “The Carnegie”.

2. Graze

Graze is not a “burger restaurant” but you are definitely able to find a cheesy and juicy burger here. Graza offers two different types of burgers on their menu: The Graze Burger and The Double Cheese Smash Burger. Don’t forget the cheese curds on the side. 

3. Camp Trippalindee

Camp Trippalindee is located on top of the Graduate Hotel on North Frances Street in Madison. They offer a double cheeseburger with their signature “special sauce”. They also offer many unique add-ons for your burger like fried egg or beer cheese sauce.

4.  The Nitty Gritty

At the Nitty- Gritty- Madison you can definitely find a burger that you like. The Nitty-Gritty-Madison has over 10 different types of specialty burgers on their menu and you can even customize your own! When you visit don’t forget to ask what the burger of the day is! 

5. Tipsy Cow

The Tipsy Cow offers great tavern food in Madison, especially burgers. Their “Tipsy Burger” is complete with aged cheddar. And don’t forget the fries. 

6. The Old Fashioned 

The Old Fashioned offers their one of a kind burgers. My favorite is the #30, otherwise known as The Old Fashioned House Burger. This burger is complete with  a fried egg, bacon, friend onions, cheddar cheese, and garlic. 

You can’t say no to a burger in MadTown. And why try just one signature Wisco burger when you can try them all?

I have always had a passion for writing and food. Spoon University is giving me the opportunity to merge my two passions together. Hopefully what I write will make someone as happy as it makes me! :)
