I've been to The Fix which is good but people on here seem to hate it. So what else is there out there? What should I try?
​
Edit: Thanks so much guys! A lot of places to try! I like the Fix but it seems like there's a lot of other good options out there.
There burgers have always been mediocre for me, they dont hold together well enough for me
That truffle burger tho...
Their patties are mediocre, their burgers are saved by quality topping combinations. I like eating there but I can understand why others dont.
Agree on the fix. I don't care for their house made chips though.
They used to be phenomenal but their quality took a sharp nosedive with the pandemic unfortunately (like most places to be fair).
Too raw 2x in a row for me
Deadhorse Hill - thank me later
In Worcester: either Ralph's or Armsby Abbey.
Depends on my mood.
A bit outside of Woo: Brickstone Kitchen in Sutton, just past Lenny's on 146. Absolutely phenomenal burger... probably the best one in south county. Mac Smash burger features a fried mac n cheese ball. Their meatballs are also ridiculously good. Great beer selection too.
+1 Armsby Abbey easily considering ingredients. Farm to table all organic. Can't beat it. Their breakfast is the real star but I would eat anything from there.
I’ve yet to try Armsby Abbey because their menu requires some sort of tribal knowledge just to interpret.
Probably have one of the best beer selections around. Their mac & cheese is a must to experience at least once in your life. Honestly, I've never had a bad meal there.
Always said Ralph's had the best burger. Diner, not tavern. Depending who the bartender is that night
Armsby Abbey… double smash burger with a hill farm stead IPA
That sounds amazing.
Not really known as a burger place but I like the ones at Peppercorns.
Peppercorns has a great burger.
Can confirm, had them Saturday 🤤
Annie's hotdogs, oddly enough, and like 5 mins outside of worcester
absolutely. I'm always amazed when people are hungry enough to order 5 dogs but don't get a cheeseburger. they take some time to cook but they are shockingly good.
Annie’s is really good. They’re really into authoritarianism (as evidenced by the decor) but otherwise top notch
> They’re really into authoritarianism (as evidenced by the decor) but otherwise top notch
Apparently, it's been a while since I went there. What's up with the decor?
Mamaroux’s smash burger is probably the best even if you can’t get it all the time. Always has a great crust.
They are so good. The last time he did a run, I stood in line for like an hour, freezing because I forgot my coat. when I finally got to the front, he had sold out. Do not sleep on his hot dogs either.
Can’t go wrong with a burg from Ralph’s though.
Truth
Sorry but I always love 5 Guys in Shrewsbury. Please don’t downvote.
No hate for Five Guys from me. It's a solid burger. I wish the fries were better, though.
Love the spicy ones myself
Ralphs Diner. Maryanne makes the best burger I've ever had, Chip is a close 2nd, new guy flipped it and spanked it too much.
>new guy flipped it and spanked it too much.
but enough about OP's mom...
Not really Worcester but since depending where you are in Worcester you might be closer to it then some other burger spots that are actually in Worcester, I gotta give it up to Red Robin (Millbury).
I know when people ask for the best of things, the answer is not normally a chain, and I'm one of the ones that will typically be disappointed to get a chain for an answer. But Red Robin truly does make an amazing burger. Add to that that you can get bottomless fries and bottomless drinks, it's one of the best food values out there.
I don't think The Fix is as good as it used to be.
I like the towering onion rings too. Yum!
Red Robin is S-tier for chain restaurants. While never exactly mind blowing, they're always solid. And bottomless steak fries with the campfire sauce, bruh. That's what it's really all about. Steak fry master race fr, fr.
Not ya Mama's
It WAS Kummerspeck.
Oh man…the Grief Burger was amazing.
Breens cafe
Is Worcester Eats leaking to Reddit?
As amusing as this comment is.. they do actually make a tasty burger. Their steak tips are great too. And of course.. best steak and cheese around!
the phenomenal at The Fix is the best burger i ever had
That's what I get every time. It's so good.
Armsby abbey double smash burger
Question for the crowd - I used to love Brew City’s burgers …. 12-15 years ago at this point, haven’t been back in a long time. This is the 3rd “best burger in Worcester?” post I’ve seen but nobody’s ever mentioned it …. Did it go downhill, did other places just surpass it?
Also OP - another vote for the double smash burger at Armsby!
Brew City is one of those places that I ask, "How is this place still open?"
No one is ever there and when they email specials, they're so low that they have to be hurting.
Admittedly I haven't been in a couple of years, but I used to go semi-regularly and it would always be fairly busy
it did not go downhill. still amazing.
i always figured they never come up on this sub because this sub is absolutely obsessed with local restaurant trends but gives almost no love to places that have been around forever. half the restaurants people suggest on here don't last more than 5 years.
you can count on one hand the restaurants that are 15+ years old that get suggested here.
Lou Roc’s has a great patty melt. I’ll classify that as a burger.
I friggin love a pub 99 burger
Ralph’s
Lakeside makes a good burger for a great price. I prefer them over the Fix.
Everything at lakeside is great, stop telling people about lakeside
Alright going to have to go on a burger quest and try all of these places. Thanks for the tips!
Jack's Wayback Burgers next to Gamestop near Walmart. Their "cheeeesy" features a buttered inside-out bun.
Kemps!
Ha ha. I went to BSS. Kemp's was a Friday treat! (But not during Lent)
Nice!

Joey's has the best burger IMO.
I like the Fix. Killer shakes, too
Five guys burgers and fries.
A little outside Worcester, but there is a newish place in the center of Charlton called Bellies Breakfast Barnyard. Very meat heavy menu, but everything is delicious. Brioche buns, giant burgers. Thursday night special is a $10 burger and fries.
I’ve had The Fix once. I loved the burger. It was salty but delicious. The fries tasted frozen. I’d probably go again but get the homemade chips instead.
Red Heat in Westboro, the Farmers Burger.
I agree with the Ralph's comments. If you want a decent cheap takeout burger don't sleep on Newton Square Pizza. Their fries are garbage but it's a handmade patty with basic fixings and it just hits right.
I'm not into the wacky burgers at the Fix, though their plain is fine. Just give me a reasonably sized burger patty (4-6oz) with American cheese, LTO, pickles, and a little ketchup and mayo.
Ralphs has the best basic burger in Worcester. Just don't drink anything that doesn't come from a bottle, I don't believe they have the cleanest lines as I have gotten sick there. My gf and I both got burgers, but she got a beer in a bottle and I got a draft. I was up all night with the shits, she was fine.
I cannot say one place has a better burger over another- but places I can recall the best burgers- and these would be bacon cheeseburgers- 2 restaurants stick out for me- 1. The Boynton and 2. The Fix. After that- I cannot say for sure… but those two burgers are in my memory and I have not been out for burger in years- and both of these restaurants are still in business- Wherever you decide- enjoy!!
