Just had a colleague ask me where the best burger in PVD is and I didn't have a great answer. What do you think is the best burger in Providence?

The Aquidneck Farm burger at Rogue Island is awesome, I think Wednesdays or thursdays they do a beer and burger with fries deal too. I've heard good things about slow Rhode too. RI food fights usually does a competition in the summer but I didn't see who won this year.

Chomp is the bomb! but they got rid of the French onion burger :( it was sooo good. Hight recommend. also a good draft selection

Ivy Tavern!
Harmonomicon t1_j7rg3te wrote
this is the correct answer unfortunately. BunFun was a beautiful flash in the pan for burger lovers - I’ve gone to every one of their pop ups since they closed.
Chomp is a close 2nd (especially the Smokey bandit) and Harry’s is cheap & reliable

I think Chomp is decent, but overrated. Also quite expensive for the portion size. I will agree that the beer selection is great!
Previous_Floor t1_j7rytd3 wrote
You know there's a problem when the majority of posters are saying Chomp.
Don't get me wrong. I order from Chomp somewhat frequently, and I do enjoy it, but it's really nothing to get excited about. It just isn't.

Mission burgers in Middletown is also amazing!
And if you go on Monday they have winner winner fried chicken tenders and sandwiches. Iykyk

Sliders most definitely count! This will be my next stop.

You won’t regret it! Legit the best sliders I’ve had anywhere, and I’ve tried a lot of sliders.

That’s a damn good looking burger! And a good deal makes it taste all the better.

Does los Andes still do the burger with egg? Hands down best option but haven’t had it in years.
Dinosquid t1_j7sal5k wrote
Idk if it’s the “best burger” but Amy’s on Wickenden has a great burger.
Amy’s is fuckin awesome in general, wish they had a bigger spot.

Except they don’t have tomatoes!
FunLife64 t1_j7sgfue wrote
I will say they use a lot of high quality ingredients (I don’t like it myself, but their ketchup is made in house).
So you’re paying for that. They also have a lot of unique combos/flavors they use.
Not an everyday burger type place but it’s good.
BlakeSwag t1_j7sgjqx wrote
The best burger I’ve had is from the dips dips food truck at Moniker. It’s more of a smashed burger - similar to Tasty Burger in Boston if you’ve had it. It’s literally so good.
FunLife64 t1_j7sgk2t wrote
Yeah when you go to order online at 9:15 and they’ve turned off online ordering cause they’re already buried. 🫤
Don’t love their fries though.
BlakeSwag t1_j7sgkj9 wrote
Honorable mention for the east end as well!
FunLife64 t1_j7sgvvg wrote
I mean sure is their basic burger a standout compared to other basic burgers? Probably not. But hardly any places have the variety they have and very few have unique flavor combos that they do. Most places just offer one, maybe two, types of burger. And the crazy one may just have guacamole on it.

Looks good but 0 vegetables. Can we not use lettuce and tomato?!

Yeah, we (we = the people I work with) stopped even trying to get food to-go with them. I don’t feel like it’s fair to criticize a restaurant for being difficult to order online, but I DO wish I could order them more.
I actually do love the fries.

Really? I had their two-alarm chicken sandwich and it left a lot to be desired in my opinion. Glad to know the burgers are good!
TwainVonnegut t1_j7su009 wrote
Their Silverburger (chili cheese with mushrooms 🍄 and other fixins) is a thing of beauty and requires a fork and knife!
FrutaFertil t1_j7sv6k6 wrote
Word this is the answer! Also really enjoy Avenue N…
FrutaFertil t1_j7svcc4 wrote
It’s such a salt and fat bomb though. Like when you eat it, you love it but you know you’re gonna pay for it dearly. I think Dips Dips delivers the same energy with more restraint and the shrettuce balances it out.
Wonderful_Bother9172 t1_j7swqu2 wrote
You've never eaten this burger so you're assuming a lot. It does not need tomato and it most certainly does not need lettuce. I don't think any burger does, all those two ingredients do is make the bun not stay on the burger and all your other toppings fall out. Enjoy your veggie burger though.

I can’t say much about their burgers, I’ve only had one once (it was good). But their specials? Dope. Their BBQ hot honey sandwich? To die for. I love them and I’ll pay whatever crazy prices they choose.

You can add lettuce and tomato. No charge. I use to go there almost every Wednesday for the deal

Late morning/noonish on the weekends. They close at 3 so it makes sense, they’re always super busy on the weekends.

Used to agree. I think the place is pretty average these days.

I get that. When we've gotten takeout it's been pretty average, but in person dining is still great IMO.

Thanks! I once added tomato to a sandwich at Rogue Island and they forgot to tell me it was $1 extra when I paid for it on the phone. Then they wanted me to pay $1 cash when I got there….like…really?

I used to really enjoy the Ivy Tavern's burger but the last couple times I went it was pretty crappy...not to mention expensive!
fucktheOvilleSystem t1_j7xc84b wrote
Five Guys in Johnston (their fries are hard to beat too), Slow Rhode. Ivy Tavern burgs used to be OK but something changed about them (other than the exorbitant price). I wanna check out The Abbey, never been.
That being said, never got the vibe that Providence was a burger city, like a lot of cities. We get gaggers, for better and worse.

What a bummer! I haven't been in several months, but the last couple times we got takeout, it was not the best. I chalked it up to being takeout rather than dine-in, but maybe they're going downhill. Their Korean wings are still bomb though!

The burger at New Rivers is excellent - even though it's not a "going out for a burger" place.

Where are you getting that I’ve never tasted the Durks burger before? Of course I have tried it, I wouldn’t be able to comment on it otherwise. I guess the rest of the burger world is doing it wrong to include LTO in their burgers, you really have your work cut out to evangelize on your beliefs. Have fun!

Chomp is my favorite and fairly reasonably priced.
