Best Burgers in New Jersey, New York & Beyond

Ben Chapman: My favorite! This ”award winning” burger is simply perfection. Juicy & delicious, nicely seasoned w/ salt. Topped w/3yr aged Vermont Cheddar & Caramelized Onions inside a soft enveloping brioche bun.

Ben Chapman: Morton's Prime Burger is made from ground aged prime steaks and is arguably just as good. The gently formed patty rests in a fresh and soft brioche bun: juicy & easy to sink your teeth into.

Ben Chapman: The Counter doesn't disappoint with a special blend of beef that is bursting with juicy flavor (and many other proteins as well) Their extensive menu includes delicious accompaniments for all tastes.

Ben Chapman: Freshly ground sirloin, seasoned & hand packed to juicy perfection on a homemade roll: Thank You Sir, may I have another? This DC suburb joint may not look pretty, but surely will taste that way.

Ben Chapman: Flavors Bursts out of this savory freshly ground blend of amazing cuts of beef. Equally delicious are the truffle fries, multiple side sauces and freshly bake buns: branded with a "u" of course.

Ben Chapman: This new addition to the Jersey Burger scene gets ultra-high marks! Their burgers are impecable specimens. The Traditional Burger w/ caramelized onions & cheddar is heaven between two toasted buns.

Ben Chapman: Tiff's grass-fed burger is well crafted & bursting with fresh meaty flavor. It's accompanied by a soft brioche sesame bun and high quality custom made toppings. Only come here if you like perfection.

Ben Chapman: Food Network Chef Eric Levine doesn't disappoint with his short-rib blend. One of MANY gourmet choices Buttery Brioche, Succulent Flavorful Beef, Bacon Marmalade = Perfection! Best in Morris by far!

Ben Chapman: Bobby Flay is an institution to the burger world as we know it today, and this 'chain' (said very loosely) doesn't disappoint. Expect culinary perfection on a toasty bun! Shakes and Fries = superb!

Ben Chapman: The Ale House Burger is bursting with juicy flavors. This is the burger joint New Brunswick has so desperately needed! The amazing craft beer selection is not to be missed. Come Here... and be Happy!

Ben Chapman: A well crafted and drippingly juicy burger bursts with the beefy goodness only a freshly ground steakhouse can provide. Wear your good duds though... this place is no burger joint!

Ben Chapman: This brewery's beers are beat by a burger: "one of" the BEST in Brunswick! Not a 'black angus' clone, it's made with "Hereford Prime" Beef; if you don't know what that is, don't worry. It's Delicious!

Ben Chapman: A true high class burger that puts most other burger joints to shame.. you'll get a perfectly crafted, juicy and well-sized piece of perfection; this place is worth the cost and trip!

Ben Chapman: Know what you're ordering before you get to the register.. and bring at least one person to scout out a seat while you wait in line or don't expect to eat there.

Ben Chapman: This primo italian foodery is highly acclaimed, but sit at the bar and order this hand-crafted 'masterpiece of meat' if you want to know what really makes this place special.

Ben Chapman: Owned by Chef Bradley Boyle (Food Network's "chopped' fame) serves up a traditional & juicy pub burger w/ a trio of "must-have" sides: Guinness braised onions, sriracha aioli & sundried tomato aioli

Ben Chapman: This gourmet burger joint masquerades as a cookie-cutter chain, but don't be fooled: there's some serious gourmet ingredients & styling to this menu. Salted caramel hot cocoa is a must on a cold day.

Ben Chapman: Nestled between some extraordinary 'high-end' eateries; this burger-mecca 'holds its own' serving up an array of made-to-order ground meats that will leave you wanting more.

Ben Chapman: Although looking like a greasy-spoon joint, this 'rough diamond' serves up Certified Angus Gems w/ 'at least 25' options (as the name denotes) The pumped in Beatlemania adds to the 'throw-back' decor.

Ben Chapman: The last thing anyone would expect at this well renowned "seafood star" is a great burger, but make sure your meat-eating friends know: this burger is arguably better than the rest of the menu!

Ben Chapman: Although their methods (smashing the beef) are non-traditional, somehow the burgers are cooked up juicy and delicious. Make sure you get a "big smash" though; anything less won't make the cut.

Ben Chapman: This "Stage Left - New Brunswick" transplant has improved on the burger and made this culinary creation both delicious and even better to look at. Go during happy hour though.. it's pricey.
