Phoenix's Favorite Burger Styles for Your Next Event
The Valley's burger scene ranges from razor-thin smash patties to impossibly thick creations. These are the styles locals love.
Classic Smash Burgers
Bad Jimmy's started the cult smash burger movement in downtown Phoenix—thin patties pressed until the edges turn perfectly crispy, served with craft cocktails and waffle fries. Now with four Valley locations using Arizona K4 Ranch beef, this style has become a Phoenix signature. Trucks bring this same crispy-edged perfection to events.
Thick Half-Pound Burgers
In a city flush with thin smash burgers, some spots go the opposite direction. Culinary Gangster—which started as a Chicago food truck—serves wide-mouth, half-pound patties at their Scottsdale and Roosevelt Row locations. Harvey's Wineburger draws barflies with impossibly thick patties. For events that want substantial burgers, this style delivers.
Sonora-Style Burgers
Arizona's Sonoran food heritage shows up in its burgers. Main Burgers serves a Sonora burger topped with chiltepin peppers, cheese crust, and bacon—flavors you won't find outside the Southwest. This regional style adds local character to any event.
Onion-Smashed Cheeseburgers
Happy's Hamburgers brings 50s-style diner vibes to Phoenix with onion-smashed cheeseburgers on steamed buns. Recognized by Yelp's state list and covered by local media, this old-school approach satisfies guests who appreciate classic American comfort food.
Gourmet & Creative Burgers
Rehab Burger Therapy brings funky decorations and creative toppings to the Phoenix burger scene. For events that want something beyond the basics, trucks offer adventurous options alongside classics—giving guests variety without sacrificing quality.
Loaded Fries & Sides
Bad Jimmy's waffle fries have become nearly as famous as their burgers. Phoenix trucks serve up crispy sides—waffle fries, tots, onion rings—that complete the burger experience. Great for events where guests want to share and snack.
