Nothing says summer quite like a charbroiled burger, and when that craving hits, it’s the only thing you can think about until you get your hands on one with all the fixin's.

Long Beach Island may be a shore town filled with surf, but our casual, down-home turf is not to be missed. When it comes to this American classic, LBI has something for everyone — old fashioned-style joints, build-your-own burger restaurants, and extra special topped burgers that will have you dreaming. 

Whether you like a greasy burger wrapped in paper or a bacon-wrapped, blue cheese-topped patty, you are sure to find your new favorite burger here. These are our favorite places to eat burgers on LBI. Psst, there’s also a bonus on where to MAKE one.

Where to Eat Burgers on LBI

Woodies Drive-In

This classic spot does it the old fashioned way — charbroiled burgers, onion rings, and milkshakes. You won’t find anything fancy at Woodies Drive-In, but that’s just the way we like it. Come with cash or take some out at their ATM at this cash-only joint. Along with their legendary beef burgers, they also offer the Impossible burger or a black bean burger for our vegetarian friends! 

Tuckers Tavern

You’ll smell these wood-fired burgers as soon as you enter Tuckers Tavern and we dare you to try to order something else once you get a whiff. The Tuckers Burger is the mouthwatering burger of our dreams: short rib, aged cheddar, and a garlic aioli. You won’t find a more boujee burger on LBI and we are here for it. Make sure to ask for extra napkins because this giant burger is not messing around!

Okies Butcher Shop

If you’re more of a “do it yourself” kind of person, Okies Butcher Shop has all of your home barbecuing needs covered. Their burger meat patties are super high quality and you can definitely taste the difference. Grab some extra macaroni salad and some hot dogs to grill up and you’ve got the perfect backyard BBQ!
