Burgers are a classic summertime food — and if you're craving them in Stockton, we've got you covered.
Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the top burger joints in Stockton, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of best-loved patties.
1. Smitty's Wings & Things
Topping the list is Smitty's Wings & Things. Located at 946 N. Yosemite St. in Midtown West, the traditional American restaurant owned by former NFL player Steve Smith specializes in wings and pizzas, but also serves the Smitty's burger combo, with fries and a drink.
With 4.5 stars out of 454 reviews on Yelp, it's the highest rated burger spot in Stockton and has been featured on the Food Network show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. While customers love the food, a few warn that it closes early: between 6:30 and 8 p.m.
2. Moo Moo's Burger Barn
Spanos Park West's Moo Moo's Burger Barn, located at 10940 Trinity Parkway, Suite A, is another top choice. Yelpers give the classic American diner, which offers burgers as well as a full breakfast menu, four stars out of 206 reviews.
The plethora of burger options are the big draw at Moo Moo's, with choices like the Blue Moo (featuring crumbled blue cheese and red onions) and the BBQ Moo topped with bacon and deep fried onions.
3. Midnight At Burnies Drive-up
Midnight At Burnies Drive-up, a classic drive-in joint slinging burgers, ice cream and more in Colonial Heights, is another well-liked go-to, with four stars out of 199 Yelp reviews.
In addition to the breakfast burger (with hash browns and a fried egg), Yelpers praise the Fruity Pebbles shake. Take a ride over to 3221 W. Hammer Lane, Suite D to see for yourself: the spot is only open in the evening, but it stays open late.
4. Victory Grill
Over in Midtown West, check out Victory Grill, which has earned four stars out of 154 reviews on Yelp for its barbecue, burgers, and more. Among the burger options, reviewers recommend the bacon infused cheeseburger and the garlic fries.
After an extended closure, the American comfort food spot is back in operation at 1765 Monte Diablo Ave.
5. Family Kitchen & Grill
Last but not least, there's Family Kitchen & Grill, a Louis Park favorite with four stars out of 64 reviews. Here, the signature Thunder Burger is topped with two full hot links. Stop by 2650 Mounte Diablo Ave., Suite 4 to hit up the family-owned barbecue and seafood joint next time you're looking to satisfy your cravings.
