Lunch, dinner, late-night — whenever you’re craving a burger, you’ll find the best in Fitchburg. Our favorites are topped with unique flavors, including bacon, eggs, beer cheese and even brats! Try them all and find your favorite:
1. Big Dog Double Smash Melt
The Great Dane Pub And Brewery is famous for their locally crafted beer, a perfect compliment to their excellent selection of unique burgers. One of the best is their Big Dog Smash Melt, with double smash patties, sharp cheddar, white American cheese, griddled sweet onions, Big Dog Sauce, and Scotch Ale pickles on toasted sourdough bread.
2. Wisco Burger
The Thirsty Goat
The Thirsty Goat’s aptly named “Wisco Burger” features a very distinct Wisconsin flavor — beer cheese! We know the best beer and cheese come from Wisconsin, and this burger celebrates that, with homemade beer cheese topping a Knoche’s beef patty, fried onion, bacon and fried jalapeños.
3. The Flying Hound Burger
The Flying Hound
Who doesn’t love a scrumptious secret sauce? There’s no doubt you’ll adore it topping the signature Flying Hound burger. This homemade hot pepper mayo adds spicy flair to the burger’s Muenster cheese, cherry wood bacon, soft-fried egg, arugula, tomato and red onion.
4. Stable’s Best Burger
Quivey’s Grove
There’s a reason it’s called the Stable’s Best! Quivey’s Grove, famous for their fish fry and old fashioneds, is also home to the Stable’s Best Burger, a half pound Knoche’s ground beef patty, cheddar cheese, apple wood smoked bacon, onion straws, smoked paprika mayo and BBQ sauce on a ciabatta roll. Old Fashioneds aren’t just for fish fries, either…they go great with a burger, too!

All of Ollie's burgers are made with ground beef sourced locally from Dreamy 280 farms and served on house made buns. Vegan and Gluten-free options are available, too!
6. Seminole Tap's Seminole Spicy Smash Burger
The Seminole Tap is a new neighborhood bar in grill in Fitchburg, with an extensive menu and some great burgers! We love their Seminole Spicy Smashed burger, with garlic aioli, chipotle aioli, avocado, grilled onions, and doubled up American cheese, all served on a brioche bun! They also have a great vegetarian burger made with quinoa.
