Nestled in Tannersville, Mama's Boy Burgers serves up gourmet burgers with locally sourced ingredients, a playful vibe, and delightful ice cream, perfect for post-hike munchies.
"Michael Koegel opened this burger place in the same Main Street spot as former classic roadside spot Smiley’s, but he aims for a more deluxe approach. His souped-up burgers, sourced from the nearby East Jewett Farm, match their decent price point (most hover around $11) with deluxe ingredients like smoked mozzarella and fresh kale. Local hot dogs, creative vegetarian options — try the “fun guy,” a truffled portobello burger with swiss cheese and truffle mayo — and ice cream from Kingston institution Jane’s make this a significant draw." - Robert Rubsam
"Mama’s Boy surprised Tannersville eight years ago when it opened its roadside hamburger stand and became an immediate hit among locals and passers-through with its combination of Shake Shack-style burgers, soft serve ice cream, and hot dogs, with plenty of outdoor seating under the trees at picnic tables. My favorite is the white hot Hoffman’s frank ($5) made with pork and veal and served with kraut — something like an elongated bratwurst." - Robert Sietsema
"Mama’s Boy Burgers is an old-school burger restaurant in Tannersville where you order at a counter. Instead of a number, you get a card with a mom from a famous TV sitcom on it. The list of burger options is pretty inventive, with choices like the “Jersey Boy” with smoked mozzarella and Italian peppers and the “Happy Camper”—a turkey burger that comes with crispy kale, swiss, and rosemary. They also have hot dogs, fries, and locally-made ice cream. You’ll never be more excited to announce yourself as “Carol Brady” than when you’re here. Also important: They have soft serve." - Hannah Albertine
