Nothing beats a good burger. But even though you’d think something as simple as a good burger would be easy to find, it’s surprisingly elusive. In a world full of mediocre McDonald’s patties and preformed chain-restaurant travesties, finding a genuinely delicious burger isn’t easy.
Thankfully, Phoenix has several restaurants that are breaking the mold and turning out delicious burgers for discerning eaters.
So plan a trip to one of our favorite Phoenix burger spots, and use the interactive map at the end of the post to guide your way. We guarantee you won’t be sorry.
Relish Burger Bistro at the Phoenician
Be careful, one of Arizona’s largest tequila collections combined with artisan kobe beef burgers make it all too easy to fall into a vicious cycle of margarita to burger and back again at the Relish Burger Bistro. This spot is tucked in upper level of the Phoenician golf course club house, and it’s easily one of the best casual dining experiences in Scottsdale.

Rehab Burger Therapy
Don’t worry, this spot provides rehab with burgers, not rehab from burgers. Although you may need the latter once you get hooked on Rehab Burger Therapy’s fantastic grub.
The Hangover Burger is a personal favorite. With bacon, Colby Jack cheese, Hatch Green chiles, and a fried egg on top, it’s perfect whether you’re nursing a cocktail flu or not.
If burgers aren’t your thing, there are plenty of salads, entrees, and appetizers to suit your taste.

Delux
Delux is likely to be one of the only establishments where you’ll find great burgers and killer sushi. Plus, Delux uses ultra premium, humanely raised, and free-range beef from Niman Ranch in all of their burger offerings, so you can feel good about supporting ethical and sustainable farming practices.

Lenny’s Burger Shop
With locations in downtown Phoenix, Glendale, Mesa, and Peoria, Lenny’s is never far away when you’re in Phoenix.

After reading about hip, upscale spots like Delux and the Relish Burger Bistro, you might be tempted to dismiss a small chain like Lenny’s as commonplace, but you shouldn’t! Lenny’s holds its own among the rest of Phoenix’s burger spots with phenomenal burgers, shakes, and fries.

Paradise Valley Burger Company
Paradise Valley Burger Company turns out high-end burgers without the high-end prices. Gourmet toppings and condiments, such as Fresno chile pesto, Jalapeño ranch, and smoked mozzarella, set this spot apart from the rest.
