These 3 MA Restaurants Serve Up The BEST Burgers Statewide

It's no secret that one of my favorite dishes features a hamburger with all the trimmings (although they could go easy on the lettuce and I'll pass on the onion, but everything else is fair game) as we have a trio of eateries that serve it up in high fashion. The only dilemma is you have to head out east to satisfy your craving. No doubt, we have plenty of choices here in the beautiful Berkshires and they get my stamp of approval. According to the website, www.enjoytravel.com a road trip is mandatory as these establishments are TRUE scholars in serving up our favorite patty.

Let's start with The Fix Burger Bar which is home to some of Worcester’s best burgers, They are located on Grove Street and always feature "Fixed Up" creations or you can create your own, choosing from over 40 toppings ranging from classic to creative.
