, The Highest-Rated Burger Joints in Major U.S. Cities, According to Yelp [MAP]

A fast-food staple and a quintessential part of the backyard barbecue, burgers are beloved in American cuisine. Every year, upwards of 50 million are consumed within the country, and almost every region in the U.S. has a distinct burger style to call its own. With so many variations — and countless establishments whipping them up — a good way to check out which burger joint is the best in town is by checking out its reviews.

So, we took to Yelp to sort through thousands of restaurants, delis, and quick-serve spots to discover which burger purveyors have the highest-rated reviews. But first, we needed to narrow things down: We sorted our search results by filtering them from highest to lowest rated, only including establishments with at least 400 reviews and a minimum of four stars. Menus also came into consideration — in order to be considered a “burger joint,” the restaurant must either revolve around its burger service or have several on offer — just one or two won’t do here.

Some hotspots, like Denver’s Zig Zag Smokin’ Burger, offer more than 10 burger styles ranging from the classic beef patty to those bolstered by pulled pork or lamb. Others, like Kansas City’s Tay’s Burger Shack, keep things simple by allowing customers to choose between a single, double, triple, or home run (made with four patties) along with their desired toppings and condiments.
