Burgers - there's nothing quite like 'em.





A classic piece of Americana, its no surprise that Indy is killing it in the burger scene. While just about everyone can agree that burgers are delicious, each one is unique and special to the place cooking them. That's why we've put together this list for you to check out some of the most interesting, tastiest, and best burgers in Indianapolis!









HOT BITES

If you’re a glutton for punishment, look no further than these insanely spicy burgers.





Plague Bringer @ Kuma's Corner









Crushed garlic, housemade hot sauce, pepper jack cheese, jalapeños, tortilla strips, roasted garlic mayo, lettuce, tomato, and red onion. You've been warned.













Melt Your Face Burger @ Bru Burger Bar





Designed to do exactly what the name suggests. Habanero hot sauce, habanero havarti, jalapeños, habanero whole grain mustard, and garden toppings.

















IMPOSSIBLE BURGERS

Maybe you’re a carnivore fanatic trying to cut back on your red meat. Maybe you’re a vegetarian tired of black beans and mushrooms and craving the taste of some nice, juicy beef. Either way, impossible burgers are here as an answer to your prayers. Completely “plant-based,” you won’t be able to notice the difference.









BF Impossible @ BurgerFuel





New Zealand Egmont cheddar, truffle mascarpone, grated parmesan, sliced bread and butter pickles, salad, batch brewed tomato relish and aioli.













Converge @ Kuma’s Corner





Cherry tomato jam, avocado mash, vegan cheddar, vegan roasted garlic mayo, baby arugula, and red onion. Now we're talkin'













Impossible Burger @ BRU Burger Bar





Vegan cheese, vegan mayo, mustard, ketchup, and garden. A classic with a twist.

















FOR THE ADVENTUROUS





Fancy AF Burger @ Bar One Fourteen









This carefully crafted burger is made out of a local angus beef blend, with melted malvarosa cheese and shaved black truffles, served on an artisan brioche bun. One of the best new spots in Indy, Bar One Fourteen is a dining experience you should definitely check out.













Okonomiyaki Burger @ Rook





Brussel sprouts, pickles, onions, cheese, and scallion mayo, all topped off with Rook’s special sauce and an egg. Oh, and for a bun? Why not make it a sesame seed pancake. This is definitely an Instagram-worthy burger.













Lamb Steak Burger Melt @ Milktooth





This lamb-based burger at the terminally-delightful Milktooth is topped with shiitake, asiago, cream cheese chive aioli, and pickled onion. Skip the breakfast food next time you're there and hit up this little beauty.

















SURF'S UP

As much as we love the Midwest, there’s no surprise that we crave some time by the coast. These burgers will make you think those corn fields are waves in no time.





Aloha Burger @ Punch Burger





Ham, grilled pineapple, Swiss cheese, teriyaki glaze. It might still be cold out, but this meal will have you feeling like you’re on the beach.













Semester at Sea @ Burger Study









Hand-diced ahi tuna, ponzu mayonnaise, Asian Napa slaw, tomato, and wonton crisps. Don't forget to pack your floaties.













The Baton Rouge @ Burgerhaus





Served on a brioche bun, this burger has butter lettuce, andouille sausage, shrimp, white cheddar, Haus-made cajun creole topping, spicy remoulade, and crispy onions. No voodoo here, just good food.

















FUN TO TRY

While the OG patty-cheese-bun combo is good, sometimes its nice to mix it up. Here's a few options for you to check out.









Walk Of Fame @ Burger Study





The patties are seasoned with a coffee rub and topped off with a fried egg, applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. If you wanted to pick up a few for the Do317 crew, we wouldn't be complaining.













The PB&J Burger @ Between the Bun









Peanut butter, pepper jack cheese, smoked bacon, jalapenos, and maple syrup on a brioche bun. You won't be able to help reminiscing back to your days in middle school. The good days, though, not that awkward phase in 7th grade...













Any Burger @ Box Burger Truck





No matter what kind of sandwich you decide to eat, the wide range of free toppings will give you endless flavor possibilities. Honey, A1, teriyaki or bourbon glaze, peanut butter, Thousand Island dressing, malt vinegar, cream cheese… the list goes on and on.









The Cheeseburger @ Workingman's Friend





We'd be remiss NOT to include the iconic Workingman's Friend on this list. This dive-y spot has been dishing out some of Indy's most classic, wonderful burgers for over 100 years. If you're looking for a no-frills burger with some history to punch, this is the spot for you.













Spoke Burger @ Spoke and Steele





This quality burger is made out of chuck, brisket, AND short rib beef blended from Fischer Farms, topped with American and sharp cheddar cheese, roasted roma tomatoes, malt fries, and fry sauce, and sandwiched by a brioche bun.
