Everyone in the River City has beef over who is grilling up the best burger. Richmond is undeniably a food destination and you really can\u2019t go wrong with a good sandwich. Even the vegan and veggie lovers can find a bangin\u2019 burger if they look hard enough.<\/p>\n
Obviously there\u2019s a McDonalds around every corner, but you can go beyond the Big Mac here.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s everything from locally sourced beef, smash burgers with attitude, patty-hugging doughnuts and artisan burgers. When it\u2019s time for the classic toppings to go, you can find burgers topped with lavish truffled mushrooms or peanut butter straight from the jar.<\/p>\n
Locals and visitors alike have spoken online and according to Yelp,<\/a> Richmond\u2019s top 10 burger slingers are:<\/p>\n But listen, it was a close race for first place and everyone has their opinion. Whether they\u2019ve made Yelp\u2019s list or not, there are lots of standout sandwiches to consume.<\/p>\n To keep it simple, here are three burgers in Richmond that will have you absolutely cheesin\u2019:<\/p>\n When you drive by this classically styled diner, you might never consider stopping by for some kale. But their menu incorporates all of your favorites alongside high-end toppings, meat alternatives and fresh produce. And don\u2019t worry, you can still wash it all down with a decadent or boozy milkshake!<\/p>\n But right now, it\u2019s time to celebrate their veggie-heavy Animal Farm burger. This well-loved and highly-rated handheld includes saut\u00e9ed wild mushrooms, goat cheese and kale that has been cooked just right.<\/p>\n Animal Farm isn\u2019t for the pickiest eaters but if you\u2019re looking for flavor you can feel good about, then look no further. Burgers are kind of a big deal at Boulevard so you can always sub your beef for black bean, quinoa, turkey, chicken or Beyond Meat patties.<\/p>\n If you need extra time to choose your entr\u00e9e, you can patiently munch on fried green beans and corn dog nuggets while you wait.<\/p>\n Boulevard is one of Richmond\u2019s top burger spots and they\u2019re always busy \u2013 the parking lot is not for the faint of heart. If you need reliable parking for your Scott\u2019s Addition snacking, use CityParking\u2019s lots<\/a> just on the other side of N. Arthur Ashe Boulevard.<\/p>\n The words \u201chotel bar food\u201d don\u2019t really get your taste buds excited but that will change once you realize the hotel is Richmond\u2019s esteemed Jefferson Hotel. Their restaurant Lemaire has hundreds of 5-star reviews, a respected reputation and a menu that will melt your mind.<\/p>\n But this isn\u2019t about their Crispy Chesapeake Bay Oysters or Ancho Chili-Rubbed Salmon, it\u2019s about a burger served up in their lounge.<\/p>\n The Lemaire Burger technically is beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion on white bread. But in reality, it is so far beyond that.<\/p>\n The tomato is made into a savory compote. Your onions come perfectly grilled. The lettuce is a fresh bibb not a limp romaine. The cheese isn\u2019t a slice, it\u2019s a perfectly melted raclette. Lastly, you get your perfect vessel from the brioche bun.<\/p>\n Even if you aren\u2019t staying the night at the Jefferson, you shouldn\u2019t sleep on this burger.<\/p>\n Lemaire provides a valet, but CityParking knows that burger buyers value simplicity and good deals. Let us help you park with ease at the Jefferson Hotel Main St. Lot<\/a> or at our spot on the\u00a0 corner of W. Franklin Street & Jefferson Street.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Hear us out, Saison isn\u2019t known for their burgers. While you may have heard about their great locally sourced food, are you surprised to learn they have a smash burger with rave reviews?<\/p>\n Many adventurous restaurant eaters will tell you it\u2019s the restaurants with one burger instead of 20 that always seem to outrank the rest. Saison\u2019s smash burger with gruyere cheese, yeast aioli, iceberg lettuce, red onion and pickles may just be a testament to that statement.<\/p>\n In fact some diners have called it the best burger they\u2019ve ever had, or at least the best in Richmond.<\/p>\n Create the perfect ode to southern cuisine and top your burger with bacon or fill up with double patties. Either way \u2013 your mouth will water and you\u2019ll be coming back for more.<\/p>\n The best part is that Saison\u2019s is snuggled into Richmond\u2019s Art District on an awesome block in the Jackson Ward neighborhood. Grab the bus, ride your bike or park with ease at CityParking\u2019s lot at the corner of N. Adams Street and E. Grace Street.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Don\u2019t drive yourself right into a hangry argument with your copilot. You\u2019ve headed out for burgers because you\u2019re hungry and need food fast.<\/p>\n\n
