Five Star Burgers lays claim to many local firsts: custom-blended beef, a “flat-grill then flame-grill” cooking technique, and a soda fountain that features Maine Root sodas, all made the old-fashioned way.
Best Time to Go: Touted as one of the best deals in town, Five Star’s happy hour includes discounted drafts, burgers, and appetizers from 4–6 p.m.
Background: The owner and much of the staff came from the recently closed Harvest, SLM’s 2009 Restaurant of the Year.
Insider Tip: A reward program earns such goodies as free fries, a burger on your birthday, and $10 off your bill for every 150 points.
