Side Show: Best New Burgers
Hot Potatoes
When it comes to these golden picks, yes—you want fries (or tots!) with that.
Sweet-Potato Tots
Punch Burger
Get the perfectly crisp coins as a side or in a basket—just get them. $2.75
Truffle-Parmesan Fries
Flamme Burger
A generous shake of cheese balances this option’s earthy oil. $2.95
(Off-Menu) Tater Tots
Burgerhaus
They’re not listed, but ask for them anyway: light, fluffy, and just salty enough, with an excellent crunch. $3
Poutine Fries
Scratch Truck
An upgrade from the well-seasoned fries, with savory chicken gravy and topped with mozzarella curds and herbs. $3.50
Tater Tots
Between the Bun
The kicker here? A healthy sprinkle of spicy, housemade seasoning. $2.59
Forget the Fries
These spud alternatives might be better than the main event.
Onion Rings
Bru Burger Bar
This thick, beer-battered version offers a satisfying crunch without the hollowness or mushiness that often plague hulking rings. $7
Jalapeño Poppers
Kuma’s Corner
Chorizo cream cheese oozes from these terrific panko-fried peppers, complemented by just-sweet-enough balsamic-raspberry sauce. $12
Mac & Smokey Beer Cheese
Beast
Black Acre ale imbues this spicy, not-for-kids take on the comfort dish—an otherwise classic rendition, homemade-with-care charred edges and all. $5
Shake Your Love
It’s legal to have a burger without a stellar milkshake—but why would you want to?
Chocolate Espresso
B Spot Burgers
Say yes to the suggested shot of hazelnut Frangelico. The combo delivers, as do the crumbled chocolate cookies added for texture. $6.99 (plus $3 for booze)
Strawberry Shortcake
Flamme Burger
A hunk of its eponymous baked good tops off the subtly sweet signature shake. $4.95
Vanilla Haus Milkshake
Burgerhaus
Anything but plain, this super-smooth version made with Dean’s Country Fresh high-butterfat ice cream bursts with flavor. $5
