17 Phoenix Restaurants With Fantastic Burgers

"With its black-and-white checkboard floor, jukebox, and old school jams, Happy’s is a diner-like blast from the past, turning out crisp-edged, cheese-gooey smash burgers in two sizes (quarter pound and half pound), both made with Angus beef, smashed on the griddle with onion strings until they’re embedded in the meat. Served on a steamed bun with shredded lettuce and dill pickle on the side, they’re wonderful — especially with a side of ultra-crunchy tater tots. The menu also features seven classic half-pound burgers, an all-day breakfast burger, and frosty shakes of every description." - Nikki Buchanan
