15 Places To Find The Best Burgers In Adelaide
Everyone craves a good, juicy burger now and then. While the classic beef burger with salad, mustard and tomato sauce has stood the test of time, you can now get something a bit different as well – think Camembert cheese, black buns, low-carb buns and smoked bacon! Regardless of what you’re after, one of these 15 top spots for the best burgers in Adelaide will fix that craving:
1. Fancy Burger, Synagogue Place (off Rundle Street):
One of my favourite for an inexpensive but delicious burger, this Fancy Burger is also very cozy and has private ‘rooms’ out the back for a cute date night. The Biggy Burger has South Aussie beef, crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, a free range egg, beetroot, and herb mayo; plus, they also have great veggie burgers!

2. Grill’d Rundle Street:
A bit more hipster, Grill’d has both juicy burgers and health-conscious options like a low-carb bun, zucchini chips, and salads. But perhaps the best is their Crispy Bacon & Cheese burger with lean beef, crispy bacon, tasty cheese, salad, relish and herb mayo. Delicious and not overpriced.

3. Cooper’s Burger Shack + Coffee Central, Rundle Mall:
If you love coffee, beer and burgers, this is the place for you. In the middle of the Mall (literally) sits Cooper’s Burger Shack + Coffee Central, a cozy café with great booze-themed burgers. The Pale Ale Cheeseburger has a Wagyu beef patty, American mustard, tomato sauce, Swiss cheese, cheddar cheese and pickle served on Brioche bun.

5. The Curious Squire, O’Connell St, North Adelaide:
A cool restaurant/bar with craft beers and American-style food, The Curious Squire gets busy but is worth it. The Mother Clucker burger has Southern-fried chicken, guacamole, American cheddar cheese, bacon, chipotle mayonnaise, veggies and pickles.
6. Burger Republic, King William Rd, Unley:

Casual and inexpensive, Nordburger is perfect when you just want a good, hearty burger. The Royale has double beef, double cheese, caramelized onions, pickles, mustard, ketchup, and their special NORD Sauce.

Simple, delicious and in night-life central Hindley Street, Cheeseburger delivers. Classic burgers made with fresh ingredients, plus their point of difference: a variety of cheese. Try the cheeseburger with Dutch cheese!

All-American diner TGI Friday’s is well-known. It’s a fun, casual place to grab a burger after shopping or before a movie.

11. Burger Theory, Hub Central, Adelaide University:
A Uni-student favourite, Burger Theory started as a food truck and now has three central locations, including a cleverly-placed stall at Adelaide Uni. The Taters Gonna Tate burger features beef patty with cheese, shredded beef bourguignon, pickled red onion and tater tots.
