The Great Boston Burger Thread

SHARE YOUR BURGER ADVENTURES!!!

Recently, Zagat’s conducted a Best Burger in Boston survey with the following choices, so presumably it covers most of the best (notably excluding Tip Tap Room, Miracle of Science, and perhaps others). Haven’t seen Zagat’s results yet.

I’ve only been to 8 out of 36, but I’m working on it…

My ranking so far:

  2. Alden & Harlow’s Secret Burger
  3. RF O’Sullivan’s Black & Blue Burger
  4. JM Curley’s Lunch 5 oz. Natural Beef Patty
  5. Strip-T’s Burger
  6. Bar Boulud’s Classic Burger
  7. Tip Tap Room’s Steak Burger
  8. Post 390’s Tavern Burger
  9. Washington Square Tavern’s Burger

[Tip Tap would have been higher except they completely failed on cooking two burgers to temp.]

I used to regularly take the train from the North Shore to Harvard Square exclusively to buy import records at Second Coming and eat a burger at Mr. Bartley’s.

Next on my list to visit. Haven’t been there in years.

Following. I have only had a handful of those but when I finally get a chance to eat in the city I rarely think about getting a burger.
