Next up is Kenmore's Uburger, situated at 636 Beacon St., Kenmore Sq. (between Commonwealth and Brookline avenues). With four stars out of 442 reviews on Yelp, the fast-food spot, which offers burgers and sandwiches, has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for a budget-friendly option. 

Yelper Kim M. noted, "Top-notch burger at an affordable price. Uburger's standard fare, pre-built combos are all perfectly well-balanced, and their portions for a sub-$10 given all the fixings are a steal."

Yelper Ashley B. wrote, "It was really good! I enjoyed my burger a lot - it was cooked well and the Uburger sauce meshed with my banana peppers and jalapeño toppings well. I love a good burger, and this place hit the spot."
