This Restaurant Makes The Best Burger In NH, Popular Food Website Says

NEW HAMPSHIRE — The Tuckaway Tavern and Butchery in Raymond serves the best burger in the Granite State, according to a report from Chowhound, a website for food aficionados or, alternatively, food nerds.

The list, “The Hands Down Best Burger in Every Single US State,” features various preparation methods. It was released just in time for National Hamburger Day, which is May 28.

There’s no one way to prepare a burger. Even those claiming to be “classic” burgers have significant differences, especially in the toppings.

To find the best burgers among what the research firm IBS World estimates are more than 80,000 burger joints and restaurants across the country, Chowhound looked first at restaurants that excel in both classic and creative burger preparations. The process also included taste testing, online research, and outreach on local social media communities and to trusted contacts in the restaurant and food media industries.

Here’s what Chowhound liked about the burgers at The Tuckaway:

“As expected, the burger at The Tuckaway, a butcher-restaurant hybrid in Raymond, New Hampshire, shines for its high-quality beef.” The O.G. Tavern Burger “boasts a 10-ounce patty of daily-ground humanely raised beef with the cheese of your choice.”

The restaurant offers several other sandwiches on its menu, as well as sides and apps.

The full 50-state list offers some intriguing takes on what is widely regarded as America’s favorite sandwich. Some are made with grass-fed wagyu beef, others with ground turkey, and still more with salmon and other critters. Some may not contain meat at all. Cheeses vary from classic American to blue cheese to goat cheese.

In Hawaii, the Honolulu Burger Co. presents the “Alpha Elvis,” which has bacon, banana and peanut butter, or the “Loco-Moco,” made with Spam, bacon, an egg, and mushroom gravy.

And then there’s Mike Duffy’s in St. Louis, Missouri, whose offerings include the award-winning Cajun burger with hot jalapeños and Cajun aioli or the fully customizable and vegetarian black bean and quinoa burger. The restaurant also allows substitutions of bison or salmon.

“Whether you’re a burger traditionalist or an avant-garde burger consumer, the restaurants on this lineup will have a solid option for both schools of thought,” Chowhound’s Jane Godiner wrote.
