The Best Burgers in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"Hours: Open from 11 a.m. daily except Tuesday. Closes at 10 p.m. most nights, and midnight on Friday and Saturday. James Piazza originally sold his smash burgers from a food truck, moving in early 2024 to a tidy downtown space that subtly evokes the burger joints of yore. Juicy smash burgers, whose crispy edges extend well beyond the buns, are made from locally raised K4 Ranch beef, then topped with melting American cheese, pickles, and raw or griddled onions, depending on the order (Double or Classic Double). The waffle fries are first-rate, as is a simple dessert of Strauss’s organic soft serve. Best for: A thumping burger bar vibe and burgers stacked high with pastrami and personality." - McConnell Quinn
