A perfect place for hiking enthusiasts, art fans, and music lovers alike, Anderson, IN, allows people to enjoy life at a slightly slower pace. It’s also a food mecca, with plenty of locally-owned restaurants serving dishes that draw rave reviews. And what better place than in this heart of the Midwest to order a burger? Whether you like them thick, thin, plain, or loaded with toppings, we think you’ll agree some of the best burgers can be found right here.
4 Best Burgers in and Around Anderson, IN
1. The Lemon Drop
If you’re not careful, you might drive right by this long-running nook; it’s small and unassuming. It’s also a staple among those seeking delicious food, affordable prices, and great service.
How do these qualities build a great burger? They’re like icing on the cake. The real star here is the onion burger, two beef patties with onion cooked between them. It’s been voted the #1 burger in Indiana. If you’re not a fan of onions, the cheeseburger is famous for being served on toast. The ice that accompanies their sodas is crushed, not cubed, and the ranch dressing for dipping fries and onion rings is homemade. Need we say more?
2. Anderson Grill
With generous portions and food that tastes like Grandma’s, Anderson Grill serves burgers the way they were meant to be served: old-fashioned and charbroiled. They’re accompanied by your choice of two sides: soup, French fries, coleslaw, or pickle. The options are equally straightforward, with plain, cheese, cheese and bacon, or a double patty available. But the taste of Black Angus beef is pure satisfaction with every bite.
3. Montana Mike’s
If great burgers are defined by sloppy fixings piled high atop juicy, 100% USDA ground chuck, Montana Mike’s deserves a spot in the hall of fame. Its signature sandwich, Messy Mike’s Burger, features BBQ sauce, bacon, melted cheese, onion straws, spicy green onion mayo, pickles, and red onions served on a grilled bun. Other equally tasty options include the:
• Bacon Swiss Mushroom Burger
• The Mountain Burger
• Mike’s Bison Burger, made with all-natural bison
4. Mr. Dan’s Restaurant
Described by locals as having the biggest and tastiest burgers in town, Mr. Dan’s menu is no-frills. This is likely because the focus is on quality food and great service. That service is so great, in fact, it keeps customers coming back again and again.
All burgers are cooked fresh, never frozen, and include ketchup, mustard, grilled onion, jalapenos, and banana peppers. For an extra dollar, you can also add bacon, extra cheese, chili meat sauce, or an egg. Pair your burger with a 22-ounce drink and choice of French fries or home fries, and you’ve got a great lunch or dinner.
The next time you go out for a burger, wouldn’t you love to be in a new car? Maybe a sporty model, like a Dodge Charger GT, or something that tackles offroading, like a Jeep Gladiator Overland. Whatever your taste or budget, we can find the vehicle that’s right for you. Find your next new ride by visiting Ed Martin Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today.
