The Best Burgers In Birmingham, Alabama

This restaurant, led by creative director and chef Richard Blais, a Top Chef finalist, is one of the best spots in the South to grab a burger. When in Birmingham, visit Flip Burger Boutique for uniquely tasty burgers, shakes, and sides in a sleek, artfully designed venue with spacious white booths and modern furniture. They only use fresh ingredients that are both locally sourced and sustainably farmed, and we recommend trying their south-of-the-border tasting Oaxaca burger, Farmer’s burger, and sweet potato tots that come with coffee barbecue spice and blue cheese dressing. Wash down your meal with one of their N2 milkshakes while you enjoy the alternative beats playing from their Spotify playlist, which you can also follow (@flipburgerboutique).
