The Dam
Mushrooms, Swiss, Gouda, garlic mayo, and two beef patties are sandwiched in buttery grilled sourdough to yield The Dam’s Magic Mushroom Burger. The result: damn satisfying. thedamstl.com
Schlafly Tap Room
Looking for a better bun? The Tap Room Burger includes an English muffin that soaks up every delicious drop of meat and condiments. It’s a brilliant burger brainchild. schlafly.com
The Tattooed Dog
The restaurant loads pineapple, teriyaki-wasabi glaze, and roasted- garlic aioli on its Maui Burger. So the bun must be equally tasty toasted pretzel dough, right? Of course—and it’s equally memorable. thetattooeddog.com
