Nothing rings in the summer better than the smell of burgers on the grill.
Getting a ground beef patty between two sesame buns is easy enough, but some folks have mastered the art in ways the rest haven’t — winning awards or becoming local legends for their juicy burger meat, or for sauce and condiment combinations.
MONEY partnered with Yelp to find the best-loved burger joints in the country. Their menu offerings range from sloppy barbecue burgers to fried bologna burgers and diner-style standards — there’s even a burger with peanut butter and jelly in the middle. (The Yelp algorithm factors in both the number of positive reviews and an eatery’s star rating; to ensure that we had winning burgers from around the country, we limited the picks to one per state.)
Here are the 10 best places to get a burger this summer:
1. Manny’s Restaurant, Victorville, California

Manny’s Restaurant offers customers the best of two worlds. Fans of simple, no-nonsense burgers can enjoy beef patties flavored with carne asada and traditional fixings, while Instagrammers in search of their next quirky food post can dig into one of the wilder burger creations — including the, ahem, Peanut Butter Jelly and Creamy Burger.
Yep, Manny’s Restaurant dared to go there. They stuffed a whole wheat bun with two quarter-pound beef patties, cream cheese, bacon, peanut butter, and strawberry jelly. The burger sounds insane, but at $9.25, one of the shop’s best-selling items.
If peanut butter and beef isn’t your cup of tea, try the equally perplexing $9.75 Lasagna Burger, which stacks lasagna on beef patties inside of garlic-coated sesame buns.
2. Dino’s Gourmet On-The-Go, Kahului, Hawaii
Head over to this food truck next time you’re vacationing in Maui. Dinos Gourmet On-The-Go blends flavors from the Mediterranean, Polynesia, France, and the U.S. to get its burger combinations, Dino’s partner Kellina Zagouras tells MONEY.
Try the Big Hawaiian Big Blue Cheese Burger, topped with sautéed onions, peppers and habanero chipotle mayo for $13. You can get a basket of Solo Comfort Fries on the side for just $6, with Dino’s special dipping sauce.
3. Bros Sandwich Shack, Avon, North Carolina

Bros Sandwich Shop takes its name from the two brothers who teamed up to open their own small restaurant on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. After hitting the beach, head over to Bros for one of the shop’s signature creations, such as the Carolina Bro (with chili, coleslaw and American cheese) for $11.25, or the Cowboy Bro (with Sriracha barbecue sauce, gouda, and peppered bacon) for $10.25.
Vegetarians also have a place at the table: Try the Quinoa Bro, a patty made with red quinoa with all the burger fixings, for $9.65, or the $2.55 Sweet Potato Waffle Fries with any 10 of the BroMade custom dipping sauces.
