Boston’s essential burger scene tends to skew towards big, pricey, meaty burgers, but there are a few inexpensive options holding their own. Tasty Burger is the local answer to Shake Shack — thin patties, squishy buns, quick service, and relatively low prices. Founded by local chefs, it combines the price point and pleasure of fast food with grass-fed beef and fresh produce.
Best for: A spur-of-the-moment burger. It’s affordable, ready quickly, and, if you live in Boston, a Tasty Burger location is never far away.
