17 Phoenix Restaurants With Fantastic Burgers

"Bootleggers, which specializes in all manner of smoked meats (brisket, pork, turkey, and prime rib, for example), also turns out three excellent burgers. Except for its fancy Dijonnaise, the Capone Classic really is a classic, topped with the usual fixings. The Snitch Burger is a winner, combining bacon, white cheddar, crispy shallots, and a barbecue sauce jacked up with Dr. Pepper. But for straight-up decadence, it’s hard to beat the signature Bootlegger Burger, a towering stack of ingredients served on a sturdy pretzel bun. Think: confit slab bacon, Muenster cheese, whiskey-caramelized onions, creamy slaw, tomato, red onion, Dijonnaise, and “house sauce,” a thoroughly messy but deliciously sweet-smoky burger that’s impossible to eat politely." - Nikki Buchanan
