Long Island’s Burger Scene
Ah, the burger: a timeless American classic and a staple on most mainstream American menus, regardless of the chef’s particular twist. A great burger can make a night out better, surprising you with its hidden flavors and combination of unexpected ingredients. Most people have a favorite burger or at least a favorite burger joint; some prefer cheese, others a special sauce, and some like theirs classic and plain. Whatever your burger preferences, Long Island has something to hit the spot.
Here are our four best burger stops on Long Island, so the next time you’re in town, you can have at least one (or four) of your meals already planned out.
Bareburger
If you’re on the hunt for an all-natural, organic burger experience, Bareburger is your dream destination on Long Island. The meat that Bareburger uses for their burgers is lean, fresh, all organic and, of course, absolutely delicious. You can choose from creations like the California burger, which comes with avocados, sharp cheddar cheese, tomatoes, raw red onions and salsa verde. The Maui Wowie features smoked mozzarella cheese, turkey bacon, fried onions, fresh pineapple, red peppers and buttermilk ranch. One of our favorites is the Brisket, which has hardwood smoked brisket piled high with raw red onions, pepper jack cheeses, butter pickle chips and smoked paprika mayo.
