Here it is, folks! The first restaurant to serve burgers on the regular.
You can find these all over and I love it. This was basically my hang out in high school.
To be honest, you can also find these all over Connecticut. But I end up at this location during the Orange Country Fair in the summer. It's a great place to start the day.
Famous for steam cooked burgers. They've been featured plenty, so if you haven't tried them I don't know what you're waiting on!
I originally tasted this burger in New York and loved it. So when they opened shop in Connecticut I did a little dance.
This diner-esque restaurant is like time traveling to the 1950s. The only thing missing is the roller skates.
They are the self proclaimed kings of "b" - burgers, beer and bourbon.
The onion rings are to die for, too.
Definitely one of the cheesiest burgers I've ever had.
There's always a wait when I go, which I think is a good sign. They're excellent bacon makers.
Very thick and juicy burgers. Plus, they use local ingredients.
I always leave here feeling full. It's a smaller space, but worth it.
Unfortunately, this dive is seasonal so you have to wait until spring to enjoy it.
Yes, that is mac n'cheese on top of a burger.
I love the feel of this place! It actually used to be an engine room, so you get cool wood panel walls and large pipes.
Do you have a favorite burger joint that didn’t make the list? Then tell me about it! I’m always ready to taste test.
