Best Hole-In-The-Wall Burger Spots In Every US State

A great burger doesn't need a celebrity chef manning the grill, a blinged-out bun, or a slick advertisement presenting the patty like it's about to stun in an Oscar-worthy show. If you ask most folks, they'll likely tell you all it really takes is a flat-top grill, a good ol' basic bun, and a juicy patty never letting the word "dry" exist in its vicinity. And if those things are served in a setting easily missed if one blinks while passing by? All the better.

In fact, that's exactly what we are here to talk about, that wonderful, grease-kissed world of hole-in-the-wall burger joints. We've already tracked down the best hole-in-the-wall breakfast spots in every state, hunted for the top hole-in-the-wall sandwich shops every state teases, and even scoped out the greatest hole-in-the-wall diners each state dazzles us with. Now it's time to give the humble hamburger joint its time to shine.

These aren't necessarily the places with glossy websites, cool mood lighting, or a social media manager photographing every burger in just the right pose to garner click after click for a viral post. These are the the mom and pop, neighborhood spots where the griddle is always going, the regulars often know what they're ordering before they ever see the menu (if they even glance at it at all), and the burger speaks for itself — no fancy aesthetics or hullabaloo required. Come with us, as we uncover the best hole-in-the-wall burger joints each state has to offer.
