Sheffield has one of the best food places I’ve seen, and its burger joints are no exception. Sheffield has some of the best burgers I have ever had and it’s a go-to choice whenever I visit the steel city. Whether you want a quick Uber eats order, or like to sit in and soak up the atmosphere, the Sheffield burger choices have you covered.
Yes, you can get burgers anywhere, but I am not talking about the cheap Big Mac kind in this list. Here, I am looking at the signature burgers from independents that make Sheffield special. This list will go into the burger texture, the cheese, toppings, and anything else that these star places have to offer!
Saw Grinders Union
Unit G19 Globe Works, Penistone Road, Deepcar S6 3AE
Saw Grinders Union is your classic laid-back bar, serving up the best American classics, including juicy burgers. These burgers are smashed on the grill for a crispy outside and juicy inside.
One of the best beef burgers is the Wagyu burger, it’s insane. A wagyu patty, burger Sauce, American cheese, lettuce, pickles in a brioche bun.
Although you can pick classic burgers off the menu, you can also start with smashed patties and add whatever toping you want to make your dream meal. Burger enthusiasts are in for a treat with these smash burgers.
Twisted Burger Company (Triple Point Brewery + Bar)
178 Shoreham St, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield S1 4SQ
Twisted Burger Co is the perfect place for both meat eaters and vegans alike. They use local beef and top seasoning, to make the tasty burgers we have on our plates.
The Pig Daddy Kane burger comes highly recommended, two smashed beef patties, pulled pork, American cheese, techno BBQ sauce, and chorizo apple jam.
If you are vegan, there are great meat-free options. The vegan options vary from vegan “chicken” patty, smashed vegan burger patty, and even vegan bacon.
All burgers come with fries, but the loaded fries are another level. I would highly recommend the jalapeno business ones, cajun seasoned fries topped with sour cream, melted cheese, guacamole, relish and jalapenos.
Add a tank-fresh beer to your burger for the perfect weekend dinner out.
Firepit Rocks
138 West Street, Sheffield S1 4ES
Firepit Rocks is a bar that goes to the next level. I’m talking food, drinks, great music, live sports screenings, and gaming booths. If you love a good burger, a big portion size, a great atmosphere, and all with quick service, this one is for you.
My burger recommendation is the big pit burger – wagyu beef patty, fresh lettuce, sausage, bacon, pulled pork, hashbrowns, melted cheese, tomato, gherkins, and burger sauce.
Special mention to the cheesy boy – wagyu beef patty, fresh lettuce, melted cheese, blue cheese, burger sauce, covered in parmesan cheese. It is perfect and the flavours are bang on too. Not only that but the side of halloumi with maple glaze sauce is top-notch.
Go on a Tuesday for a 2 for £15 burger deal!
Unit Sheffield
88 Headford Street, Sheffield S3 7WB
Unit Sheffield is a top diner on the edge of the city centre. They serve gourmet burgers, Philly cheese-steaks, freakshakes, and insane fries and sides.
The Destroyer is amazing, if you can handle it. Two beef patties, brisket, jalapeños, onions, and topped with cheesy nachos, beef mince and spring onions. The American is another great option, beef burger, salad, onion rings, American cheese, and American mustard with tomato sauce. If you want something different, they do pizza burgers!
They have plenty of extras here too, so you can make the burger your own. Turkey bacon, cheese sauce, and hash browns are all amazing choices.
Fat Hippo
Kommune, Castle House, Angel Street, Sheffield S3 8LS
Fat Hippo has a few locations all over the UK, including a couple in Sheffield. Just a heads up, the locations have different menus, so I’ll go into the Kommune Location now. These are real stuff your face, and get involved type burgers.
The PB&JJ is perfect if you want to try something different, double patty, American cheese, chunky peanut butter, bacon jam and smoked chilli jello. If you can’t decide between beef and chicken burgers, then the honey monsta will be up your street. Made up of a double patty, American cheese, buttermilk chicken piece, smoked bacon, pink pickled onions, Fat Hippo sauce and hot honey.
For the vegans, the vegan offering here is great too. There are four vegan burgers to choose from. The Five Lies is top tier for me, single plant-based patty, vegan cheese, pickles, ketchup, American mustard and cajun onion strings.
Church – Temple of Fun
4A Rutland Way, Sheffield S3 8DG
Temple of Fun was created by Bring Me The Horizon frontman, Oliver Sykes. Now, this place is all vegan, but if you are a meat lover, please don’t write this one off. They still serve the classic menu of loaded waffle fries, hot dogs, good burgers and more. It’s a lush spot for dining and drinks, with a fantastic ambience, attentive service, and plenty of entertainment options. They have a great balcony terrace, gaming pods, arcade machines, and a pool table.
The burger recommendation here is the Syko, a burger patty in a charcoal bun, with smoky Syko sauce, onion rings, applewood cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayo.
Honestly can’t fault the place, even the building is a true work of art. This is the best place to visit for the best vegan food.
So there we have it, the best burgers in Sheffield. From a classic double cheeseburger to the more unusual, there are plenty of options for everyone. Make sure to book a meal for any of the above burger places next time you are in Sheffield!
