BEST CHEESE BURGER: Wisconsin Burger
916 S Hatch Street Spokane, Washington 509.241.3083
Because who does cheese better than Wisconsin …? Wisconsin Burger keeps us coming back time and time again. They do cheese burgers better than the rest. If you haven’ t tried cheese curds, do it here. Wisconsin Burger is inspired by the mom-and-pop burger shops in Wisconsin. I love the“ Germantown” with fresh ground beef, sliced bratwurst, Wisconsin Sharp Cheddar, House-made beer mustard …. BEER MUSTARD, with sauerkraut on a pretzel roll. You can follow them on Facebook to find out what special burger they are rolling out each month. Don’ t forget the cheese curds and the famous custard!

BEST BAR BURGER: Boomers Classic Rock Bar & Grill 18219 E Appleway Ave | 509.368.9847
I don’ t think of Boomers as a bar. I think of them as a restaurant that serves really great burgers and also happens to have a ton of alcohol for sale. Boomers is local, family owned, and you can tell their heart is in this bar. They have Classic Rock paraphernalia covering the walls, live music on weekends and flat screen TV’ s for sport fanatics. They also have a couple of pool tables that make for a competitive and fun night out with friends.
Unlike most bars, Boomers offers a full menu all night and they are also kid friendly, so you can bring the whole family! They are open for dinner and late night and they have the best selection of tap beer in the area. They try to always offer something new and exciting that you can’ t get anywhere else in Spokane. In the Summer time they open up their back patio for extra seating and fun yard games. Their burgers are fried up fresh and come out juicy as can be.

Bar Burger
Again, this isn’ t your typical bar burger. It far exceeded our expectations. We loved their“ Mr Mojo Risin’ Burger,” but no matter which burger you decide on, you HAVE to order sweet potato fries. We asked for their secret and our waiter told us they fry them in soy fry oil and cook them 25 degrees hotter than typical, so they end up nice and crispy on the outside and soft with a little crunch on the inside. These are the tastiest ones I have tried in Spokane— add on some“ boom sauce” to dip them in. After you try them, you’ ll happily pay extra for these additions.
