Here we present 20 of our favorites, delectable offerings that prove that a burger can be delicious in many forms when it’s done right.

THE BLUE APPLE at Teak Neighborhood Grill

This burger is bursting with flavor thanks to enhancements like blue cheese crumbles, bacon and a fiery apple chutney. Red onion and bibb lettuce round things out before it’s all wedged in between a brioche bun.

SIMPLE MAN at Swine and Sons

You don’t have to be a member of Lynyrd Skynyrd to enjoy this double smash burger with American cheese, marinated tomato, lettuce, “secret” sauce and an underrated addition of garlic dill pickles.

BREAKFAST HANGOVER at Johnny’s Other Side

The perfect burger for any time of the day, this concoction starts easy enough with a juicy patty topped with cheese. But things are kicked up a notch when a fried egg and smoked sausage links are piled atop. Did we mention they replaced the bun with French toast?

JAMAICAN JERK at Vanberry’s Public House

This one packs a noticeable punch courtesy of a spicy jerk sauce and pepper jack cheese, but is cooled down a little with slices of grilled pineapple, adding a little sweet to combat the heat.

HAPPY PILGRIM at Twisted Root Burger Company

When done right, turkey burgers can be simply wonderful. We love this well-seasoned offering served on a wheat bun with ever-so creamy goat cheese and a bright and garlicky pesto.

BLACK TRUFFLE at Cowfish

This popular eatery along Universal CityWalk serves an array of burgers, but we’re suckers for this delicious number outfitted with black truffle cheese, sautéed mushrooms, roasted shallots and a smear of roasted garlic aioli.

THE McCHEEZIN at Alex’s Fresh Kitchen

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, here comes this half-pound burger topped with a salty-sweet bacon jam, fried mac and cheese and gobs of cheese sauce. It’s served on a toasted brioche bun with garlic aioli.

SMOKEHOUSE at Se7en Bites

This eight-ounce burger is a marvelous medley of short rib, chuck and brisket and arrives cloaked by pimento cheese, crispy onions and applewood-smoked bacon with a tantalizing ginger-lemon barbecue sauce made in-house.

DUBLIN at D-Luxe Burger

Head over to Disney Springs to sink your teeth into this limited time offering that pulls out all the stops. We’re talking a succulent burger topped with Irish cheddar, piles of corned beef, shoestring onions, lettuce, tomato and a thick and flavorful Irish stout barbecue sauce.

THE ESTATE at Ford’s Garage

This showstopper stars a half-pound black angus beef patty with supporting roles of smoked gouda and a red onion marmalade along with noteworthy cameos from leafy arugula, tomato, fried onion straws and a white truffle-bacon aioli.

BROTHERLY LOVE at Graffiti Junktion

You don’t have to travel all the way to Philly to get a taste of this Brotherly Love, which is a wonderful assortment of sautéed ’shrooms, onions and peppers with melted provolone, lettuce and tomato.

THE SALTY PEAR at The Whiskey

NACHO at Stubborn Mule

Imagine a burger topped with cheddar cheese and a pepper jack fondue. Now imagine if you added pickled jalapeño and red onion, threw in a sliced tomato and some corn tortilla chips. Top it off with a lime crema and you have yourself this culinary masterpiece.

JALAPEÑO CHEESE CRUNCH at Beth’s Burger Bar

Beth’s Burger Bar has attracted locals to the governor, and those who have dined here agree: Beth’s burgers rule. This noteworthy selection sees a burger topped with cheddar cheese and jalapeños along with sriracha mayonnaise and crunchy cheese curls.

SALMON at DoveCote Restaurant

Having lunch at this buttoned-up brasserie means getting the chance to order any one of their standout sandwiches, but we recommend this scintillating salmon burger that is perfectly cooked and served simply with pickled red onion and a tzatziki sauce with feta.

KOREAN BBQ at Hamburger Mary’s

A welcomed break the ordinary burgers you may be accustomed to eating, this Korean-inspired creation features a tangy barbecue sauce, homemade Asian slaw and crispy wontons for some textural balance.

THE SALTY PEAR at The Whiskey

This signature burger from this favorite watering hole begins with the fresh-ground patty and mixes in smoked applewood bacon, arugula, tomato and a creamy brie sauce along with playful additions like whiskey-drenched onions and a bourbon poached pear.

THE ITALIAN JOB at Bad As’s Burgers

CRISPY TRUFFLESHROOM at American Social

Two mouthwatering quarter-pound burgers get the royal treatment thanks to a bevy of star ingredients like crispy mushrooms, fried leeks and caramelized onions with finishing touches of a truffle-infused Boursin cheese and an A.1. demi-glace.

THAT OTHER BURGER at That One Spot

Don’t let the no-frills name fool you, this burger is a must for any discerning aficionado. A mix of both roasted red and green peppers, lettuce, red onion and goat cheese crumbles cover the beef while the bun is spread with a garlic aioli and a balsamic ketchup.

THE ITALIAN JOB at Bad As’s Burgers

It may seem odd that a burger with Italian roots features 100% Australian wagyu beef, but the amazingly tender meat melts in your mouth. Enhanced with candied tomatoes, pepperoni, arugula and a combo of melty mozzarella and Manchego cheeses, this is one to remember.

WATERS at PCG Artisanal Burgers

The quality burgers at this joint come in many creative variations, but suggest this stellar offering where a toasted sesame bun is smothered with garlic aioli and earthy sautéed mushrooms and the patty is shrouded by a chunk of hand-breaded brie.
