With dank food, good service, and an amazing beer selection you really can’t go wrong at Scuffer’s.  Located in the Church Street Marketplace it’s a great place to check out when you’re looking for a good ol’ fashioned burger.

Bonus: every Wednesday night their burgers are half off.

2. The Farmhouse

While the Farmhouse can be a bit on the pricey side, if you’re willing to spend a little extra doe they have some of the dankest burgers around.  Their bacon cheeseburger literally changed my life.  So next time you and your friends want a “fancy” burger night, head down to The Farmhouse.

3. Sweetwaters

An all around Burlington classic, basically everything on Sweetwaters’ menu is delicious.  But, their burgers are particularly good.  With a great atmosphere, and a solid staff Sweetwaters is a great place to go when craving some dank beef.

Nectar’s is a great place to check out almost any night of the week.  Their burgers and fries are to die for, and they have music almost every night.

Bonus: almost every Wednesday they have open mic night.  So, if you’re feeling comedic sign up and see how many laughs you can get from the crowd.

6. Church Street Tavern

Church Street Tavern has dank fries, and even better burgers.  Not to mention it’s a great spot to hang with your friends.  So next time you’re bored pop on over, order some beers and burgers and straight chill.

7. Vermont Pub and Brewery

While most people know that their beer selection is amazing, I’m here to tell you that their burgers are just as good.  The servers are super cheerful and accommodating, plus their décor is on point.

8. Juniper Bar and Restaurant

Juniper’s is the epitome of the phrase: size doesn’t matter.  It’s a small restaurant with some of the best food I have ever tasted.  I’m serious.  Their grass fed burgers are to die for, and on top of that their staff is uber polite.  All in all, Junipers is a great local burger joint.
