The Stand Arcadia Burger Shoppe

The Best Burgers in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"Hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. (closed Monday) It’s drive-thru only at this mom-and-pop burger shop, where the beef is ground in-house, the fries are hand-cut, and the milkshakes are hand-spun. There are just five burgers on the line-up, most topped with two or three straightforward ingredients as well as the usual lettuce, tomato, and onion fixings. The Stand’s basic burger is called the Standard, and it certainly sets one for excellence. The only oddball (and it isn’t that odd) is the Big Kahuna, topped with thick-cut bacon, grilled and nicely charred pineapple slices, and a thin, spicy honey lava sauce that adds heat and balance. Don’t miss the shakes (the chocolate-chile is fantastic) to wash it all down. Hot tip: Pair your single or double with a salted dulce de leche shake and eat it curbside like it’s 1962." - McConnell Quinn
