One of the best things about burgers is that they are so versatile. They can be simple or gourmet, classic beef, bison, turkey or even veggie. The options are endless. Read our list to discover a few of the best burgers in Louisville, Kentucky.

Burger and Fries

Mussel and Burger Bar

This hidden Louisville locale brings the best of the land and sea together. The Mussel and Burger Bar may seem like a casual restaurant with its paper tablecloths and Mason jar glasses, but don’t let those fool you. The food is anything but average, serving up juicy gourmet burgers and the freshest mussels. The seafood burger is even a combination of the two, creating explosive flavor. Other favorites include the short rib nachos, lobster mac ‘n cheese, truffle fries, and curry mussels.

Pretzel and Beer Cheese Dip

Four Pegs

Four Pegs is the place to go for tasty bottles and bites. Though some places believe that milkshakes go with burgers best, Four Pegs thinks that beer is the way to go. There are about 12 beers on tap, and nearly 30 available bottles and cans. Pair an ice-cold brew with the BBQ Jalapeno Burger or the Angus Beer Glazed Burger. The menu also includes a chicken and bacon quesadilla, a chicken and waffle sandwich, smoked salmon wontons, and pretzels with beer cheese.
