There’s nothing quite like a good ole hamburger! Birmingham is home to a number of restaurants with the juiciest, most delicious hamburgers you’ll ever taste.
We put a poll on Facebook and alas, this list was born. Without further ado, here are the 24 places with the best burgers in Birmingham.
(This list is in random order.)
1. Marre & Allen Bar + Kitchen
Try the Allen Burger topped with smoked bacon and grilled green tomato relish.

2. John’s City Diner
Get the JCD Burger and upgrade it with pimento cheese. Pair it with collards and roasted corn grits and it’s outta this world!

3. Jack Brown’s Beer & Burger Joint Birmingham
It’s darn near impossible to select just one favorite! We like the Chiflet paired with crisp sweet potato fries.

4. Chez Fonfon
With the only burger on the menu, you only need one when it’s that good! It’s simply called the Hamburger Fonfon.
