A perfectly crafted burger is more than just a beef patty on a bun. The right combination of toppings can transform a good burger into an unforgettable experience. Whether you love bold flavors, crispy textures, or creamy sauces, there are endless ways to upgrade your burger with unique toppings.

Start with a Solid Foundation

Before diving into the toppings, you need a strong base. A high-quality 8oz beef patty, like the ones we serve, ensures a juicy and flavorful bite. Pair it with a fresh bun that complements the ingredients without overpowering them. Brioche, pretzel, and potato buns all offer different textures and flavors that can elevate your burger game.

Add a Layer of Melted Perfection

Cheese is a staple topping, but there’s no need to settle for the usual cheddar or American slices. Try blue cheese crumbles for a sharp, tangy contrast, or go with pepper jack for a spicy kick. Our Buffalo Bill burger does just that, combining pepper jack and blue cheese crumbles with crispy bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and a garlic aioli for a dynamic burst of flavor.

Go Beyond the Basic Condiments

Ketchup and mustard are classic, but why not take things up a notch with house-made aiolis and unique sauces? Our Bleucy burger brings the heat with blue cheese aioli and chipotle mayo, creating a perfect balance of smoky and creamy elements. A spicy sriracha mayo, a tangy balsamic glaze, or even a sweet-and-savory bacon jam can add unexpected depth to your burger.

Crunchy Additions for Texture

A great burger isn't just about taste—it’s about texture, too. Crunchy toppings bring an exciting contrast to the softness of the bun and patty. Fried onion rings, crispy bacon, and even potato chips can take your burger to the next level. Our Bacon Bomber burger features fried jalapeño cream cheese poppers, adding a crispy, cheesy heat that makes every bite exciting.

Sweet and Savory Combinations

One of the best ways to upgrade your burger is by experimenting with sweet and savory ingredients. Caramelized onions, sautéed grape tomatoes, or even fresh fruit like grilled pineapple can bring out the richness of the beef. The Bleucy burger masterfully incorporates sautéed grape tomatoes, blending natural sweetness with its rich, umami-packed blue cheese and beef combination.

Amp Up the Heat

If you love spice, there are endless ways to add heat to your burger. Jalapeños, habaneros, or ghost pepper sauces can bring the fire, but if you want a more balanced kick, consider chipotle mayo or spicy pepper jack cheese. Our Buffalo Bill burger does this perfectly, with blue cheese crumbles and pepper jack cheese providing a tangy heat that lingers in the best way.

Gourmet Grilled Cheese Meets Burgers

A truly indulgent way to upgrade your burger is by combining it with a grilled cheese. Imagine replacing your bun with two grilled cheese sandwiches for the ultimate melty, crispy upgrade. While we specialize in gourmet grilled cheese & melts, we’ve taken this idea to heart with our menu, ensuring that cheese lovers get the most out of every bite.

Mac and Cheese – The Ultimate Comfort Upgrade

For a decadent topping, nothing beats mac and cheese. Creamy, cheesy pasta piled onto an 8oz beef patty creates a rich and comforting burger experience. Our Mac Daddy burger takes this idea to another level with a combination of bacon, pepper jack cheese, and a generous helping of creamy mac and cheese, proving that sometimes, more really is more.
