Never underestimate the comfort of a juicy cheeseburger and a piping-hot basket of fries. In honor of National Cheeseburger Day — Monday, Sept. 18 — we’ve compiled a variety of gut-busting burgers to try throughout town.
From subtle twists on classic cheeseburgers to adventurous new interpretations, here are some starting points for stuffing your face:
The Beehive, 541 Tremont St.
Pair a ritzy take on cheeseburgers with an afternoon of live music at this hot spot for jazz, funk, and blues.
Boston Burger Co., Locations vary
Take advantage of September’s special Bourbon BBQ Blitz Burger, which crumbles blue cheese atop onion jam, barbecue sauce, and mixed greens tossed in citrus vinaigrette. If that doesn’t make your mouth water, try one of the other ~30 burgers on the menu.
Bostonia Public House, 126 State St.
Take a bite of the self-proclaimed “Ultimate Burger,” which piles a prime beef burger with lobster, bacon, serrano peppers, pub sauce, and classic cheddar.
Faccia a Faccia, 278 Newbury St.
The brunch burgers at this upscale Italian restaurant pack the three P’s: Provolone, crispy pancetta, and parmesan-sprinkled fries.
Little Donkey, 505 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge
Order the Little Donkey Burger for a tantalizing stack of buffalo pickles, onion soup mayo, caramelized onions, spicy chips, and American cheese on your burger.
Lola Burger, 11 Fan Pier Blvd.
The signature Lola Burger fills an English muffin with an eight-ounce patty, classic cheddar, red onion compote, and foie gras sauce.
The Merchant, 60 Franklin St.
A brioche bun and black pepper aioli make The Merchant’s burger a sumptuous choice for lunch or dinner.
Wheelhouse Boston, 100 High St. Pl.
Challenge yourself to consume the “Boom Goes the Dynamite” burger, a combination of pepper jack cheese, jalapeno hot sauce, pickled cherry peppers, fresh jalapenos, and chipotle mayo.
