Whether you’re visiting Colorado Springs for a long weekend or are on the hunt for a new favorite burger joint, we’ve got you covered.
Here are the best burgers in Colorado Springs in no particular order – add them to your summer bucket list!
10 S. Sierra Madre St., Colorado Springs, CO, 80903
The Old Depot, Colorado Springs’ historic train station, has seen many seasons since its erection in the late 1800s. While it was long used as the railway gateway into the city, it is now home to one of our favorite burger joints (and new destination on our 3-Hour Original Colorado Springs Food Tour!).
Brakeman’s Smash’d Burger Bar just completed their renovation after having being put under new ownership in 2024. Now specializing in Smash’d Burgers, the Old Train Depot is continuing to please the Colorado Springs community with delicious burgers.
We recommend getting their Classic Smash’d Burger, which is two smashed wagyu beef patties with American cheese, grilled-onions, pickles, and their signature 1942 sauce. If you’re feeling extra hungry, opt into 3 burger patties, along with 8 other different toppings to create your perfect burger!
Extras: Don’t have a huge burger fan with you? Their Chicken Smashed Tenders are some of our favorite chicken dishes in Colorado Springs!
311 N Tejon St., Colorado Springs, CO 80903
Odyssey Gastropub doesn’t solely serve burgers, but their two burger options are so darn good, they made our list! Their globally-inspired menu has dishes from Korean Lettuce Cups to Chicken & Waffles, and while you can’t go wrong, their burgers are a go-to for returning customers.
Believe it or not, co-owner Tyler Sherman actually got his start in the restaurant industry as a 16-year-old grill cook at McDonald’s. He’s come a long way since then!
The Odyssey Burger is topped with cheddar cheese, pork green chili, and an egg, while the Pioneer Burger features provolone, honey bacon, crispy onions, house burger sauce, lettuce, tomato, red onions, and pickles.
Extras: Odyssey’s burgers come with your choice of fries, waffle fries, coleslaw, street corn, chicharrones, or, for an additional dollar, a serving of their squash medley.
230 1/2 Pueblo Ave., Colorado Springs, CO 80903
Shh! The Green Line Grill is a bit of a local secret! Chef Bobby Couch’s El Reno-style Onion ‘Fried’ Burger is affordable, juicy, and full of flavor. This unique burger recipe originated long ago during the dust bowl and has since made its way to The Rocky Mountains from Oklahoma.
The Onion Fried Hamburger is a perfect blend of caramelized onions, locally sourced beef, green chili, pepper jack cheese, and jalapeño. All of their ingredients are sourced right here from Colorado, including buns from Sourdough Boulangerie, Rocky Mountain Tomatoes, and Sara’s Sausage.
You can get a taste of these wonderful burgers while on our 3-Hour Original Colorado Springs Food Tour!
Extras: Enjoy your burger with an order of their perfectly seasoned hand-cut fries or, if you’re feeling a bit extra, a Frito pie!
204 North Tejon St., Colorado Springs, CO 80903
Located in the heart of Downtown Colorado Springs, The Skirted Heifer is a family-owned and operated burger joint in Downtown Colorado Springs. Their team takes pride in their commitment to being healthy, local, and homemade, while still creating sensational burgers that their customers will come back for time and time again.
The name “Skirted Heifer,” comes from their unique menu option — an extra layer of crispy cheddar cheese that creates a skirt-like shape around the burger. Their burgers have even been nationally recognized, even making an appearance on the Food Network.
We recommend The Classic Skirted Heifer — a grass-fed beef patty topped with a cheddar cheese skirt, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, and Heifer Sauce on a garlic focaccia bun.
Extras: Pair your burger with some sweet potato fries dipped in one of their homemade sauces and a handcrafted natural soda to drink.
321 N. Tejon St., Colorado Springs, CO 80903
Four by Brother Luck is a culinary gem that brings a creative twist to Southwestern cuisine. We love this place so much, they have been featured on our 3-Hour Original Colorado Springs Food Tour for years! Chef Brother Luck, known for his appearances on Food Network competitions, offers a menu that reflects his commitment to local ingredients and bold flavors.
One standout is the Bacon Jam Burger: a juicy beef patty topped with house-made bacon jam, melted cheddar cheese, herb aioli, and pickles, all squeezed between a freshly baked bun. This burger strikes a perfect balance between savory and sweet, with the bacon jam adding a rich depth of flavor that elevates the classic cheeseburger to new heights.
Extras: For an enhanced experience, visit during their Happy Hour (Tuesday–Sunday, 3:00 PM–5:00 PM) when the burger is available at a special price.
934 Manitou Ave.,, Manitou Springs, CO 80829
Nestled along the scenic streets of Manitou Springs, Border Burger Bar is a local favorite known for its globally inspired burger creations and welcoming atmosphere. With freshly ground beef prepared in-house daily and a commitment to quality ingredients, it’s a must-visit spot for burger enthusiasts.
One standout on their menu is the Mac-N-Cheese Burger, which is a decadent combination of a juicy beef patty topped with creamy mac and cheese, crispy bacon, and green chiles, all nestled between a toasted bun. This indulgent burger offers a delightful blend of comfort food favorites, making it a perfect treat after a day exploring the nearby trails and shops.
Extras: Pair your burger with their hand-cut French fries and choose from a selection of local Colorado craft beers on tap for a complete and satisfying meal.
730 Manitou Ave., Manitou Springs, CO 80829
Tucked into the heart of Manitou Springs, The Keg Lounge is a locals-loved bar and grill with a laid-back vibe and a menu full of comfort food classics. This family-owned spot has been serving up hearty meals for decades, making it a go-to for both tourists and longtime residents.
The star here is the Buffalo Burger! A lean, flavorful Colorado bison patty grilled to perfection and served on a round bun with lettuce, red onions, and pickles on the side. It’s a satisfying, protein-packed alternative to your standard beef burger, and a great way to sample local game in a casual setting.
Extras: The burger comes with Ruffles potato chips, but you can upgrade to fries, onion rings, or a their famous strawberry side salad. The Strawberry salad is a beloved Manitou Springs staple that you won’t regret pairing with your burger.
101 Central Plaza, Pueblo, CO 81003
This burger joint, Bingo Burger, is where guests experience juicy patties, crisp sweet potato fries, and an array of homemade sauces including the Thai Chile Ketchup and Lemon Rosemary Aioli.
Bingo Burger’s owner, Richard Warner, opened the first location in Pueblo, Colorado, with a menu centered around one of Colorado’s famous foods, the Pueblo chilies. Their unique flavors are met with sleek marketing, a fun atmosphere, and a prime location off the riverwalk in Pueblo!
We recommend their burger of the month — which rotates frequently with seasonal flavors that will ensure every experience at Bingo is new and tasty!
Extras: Add an order of hand-cut French fries with bacon mayo dipping sauce and a local Colorado Springs craft beer.
