The Best Local Burger Joints for National Burger Month

May is National Burger Month, meaning that right now is one of the most appropriate times to chow down on a juicy patty with a side of fries. But you deserve to try something a little more unique than your average burger. Below, we’ve highlighted a few different burger spots residents of our Saint James Place Apartments in Milwaukee can try out this month for a better burger. AJ Bombers Milwaukee’s AJ Bombers is all about preserving the best kind of quirky spirit in a burger joint, with everything from marker drawings on the walls, shelled peanuts, and burgers that’ll make your head spin. Whether it’s their burgers with pretzel buns and chipotle cheese or their peanut butter and bacon cheeseburger, creative and class come to a head here in a beautiful way. Locals rave about their fries. There’s a bit of a wait usually, but the service is fast once you’re seated. You can explore their menu more fully over here. Oscar’s Bar & Grill Oscar’s Bar & Grill, as the name might suggest, is as much about gourmet burgers as they are about a diverse in-house beer selection. Whether you go for local favorites like their o-burger with smoked gouda and chorizo, the aloha with ham and pineapple and havarti cheese, or the big foot with crumbled blue cheese, you can’t go wrong. Parm fries with avocado are an extra treat for the hall of fame that exists in your stomach. You can explore the rest of their menu over here. Stack’d Burger Bar Stack’d Burger Bar is all about eating local and fresh, offering a variety of options that feature everything from grass-fed beef to vegan and vegetarian options. They are billed as a restaurant for foodies, but if you aren’t one don’t let that deter you. With burgers like their pizza burger, the hot mess burger with smoked gouda and cheddar and swiss on the same dang patty, or the hangover stack with a fried egg and grilled onions, you’ll feel like you’re in burger heaven here. You can also build your own burger with a variety of toppings. We’d recommend trying their loaded fries. Head over here to see their menu in full.
