The 101 Best Burgers in America

A burger is unfussy and versatile. You might prefer your burger with a beef pattie (or two or three), or a black bean patty (keep it veg), cheese (or not), avocado (or hold the green please), but whatever is nestled between two buns turns out to be a satisfying sandwich. You can make them at home, sure, but there’s something comforting about pulling up to your favorite burger place. 

Burgers are classic American fare, and they’re on menus at your local pizza place and the most delicious steakhouses in America. But there are standouts — burgers that are too good to be ignored no matter where they appear. Here are the 101 best burgers in America.

#66 The Bru Burger, Bru Burger Bar (Indianapolis, Indiana)

As implied by its name, Bru Burger Bar is an ode to the American classic: the burger. Locally sourced, burgers are made from a grind of sirloin, chuck and brisket before being placed on buns baked fresh in-house. The signature Bru Burger is a tasty heaping of taleggio cheese, bacon, tomato jam, caramelized onion, chopped lettuce and mayo on a patty, which is all loaded onto a soft bun. There are locations throughout Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio.
