Louis' Lunch

08/16/2025

We’re thrilled to share that Louis’ Lunch has been named one of Food & Wine’s Top 10 Burger Spots in the U.S.! 🏆 From the magazine’s ranking of exceptional burger joints across the country, Louis’ Lunch earned its spot for being the birthplace of the hamburger sandwich, with its iconic Original Burger—prepared the same way since 1895!

From smoky grill marks to deep-fried crusts, every burger on this list takes its own delicious path. Some lean nostalgic, others go bold — and all know precisely what they are. If you’ve ever argued over toppings or technique, this one’s for you.
