Big Nick takes a daring approach to burgers, emphasizing ingredients that are obtained locally and freshly. Their flagship dish, the Big Nick burger, is a beef patty topped with caramelized onions, cheddar, bacon, and BBQ sauce that tastes rich and filling. With jalapenos, cheddar, and house-made spicy sauce, the Spicy Nick amps up the heat – perfect for anyone who likes a little kick. For a fusion twist, the Spicy Korean burger stands out, blending a beef patty with kimchi, gochujang sauce, and pickled cucumber, producing a savory and acidic balance of flavors. Serving hand-cut fries or a crisp coleslaw alongside its gourmet burgers, Big Nick takes pride in its no-nonsense approach to cooking.

The unpretentious atmosphere and attention to quality ingredients sets this place apart. The El Capone burger stands out with a juicy 200g beef patty, cheddar, crispy bacon, and spicy BBQ sauce for a bold flavor combination. For a spicier kick, try the Bonnie & Clyde burger. It features a 160-gram patty, jalapenos, cheddar, and hot sauce for a balance of heat and creaminess. Those looking for a more decadent option can indulge in the Truffle Shuffle, in which truffle mayo elevates the rich beef patty with layers of cheddar and caramelized onions. The menu leans toward robust, well-seasoned creations, with fresh-cut sweet potato fries and craft beers on the side. With a focus on artisanal takes on classic American flavors, Tarantino maintains a neighborhood feel with a contemporary twist on comfort food. Vegetarians will love the portobello mushroom burger with truffle mayo and grilled haloumi cheese.

This place on Patriarchou Ioakim street is known for its smash burgers, thin beef patties with crispy edges, and juicy fillings. The menu is based on organic and homemade ingredients. The patties are made with 100% forty-day dry-aged beef, the chicken is free-range, the potato rolls are made with selected Greek flours, the cheese, bacon, and tomato are organic, the sauces are made in-house, and the potatoes are from Naxos.
We recommend the classic Teddy’s with the double patty, the Moldo for mushroom lovers, and the Korean Fried Chicken with the nicely crispy breaded chicken and kimchi.

It was New York-raised chef and restauranteur Aris Vezene who first introduced Athens to smash burgers. And he did it most enticingly. First at Birdman, a Japanese gastropub in Syntagma, and now also at Ekiben Kitchen, which is inspired by Japanese bento railway culture, he serves up a delicious Smash Burger. It’s easy to make this burger disappear in two to three bites. The cooks use two thin patties made from grass-fed cow meat (he creates his own blend of different cow meat), topped by melted American cheese, homemade tonkatsu ketchup, chopped lettuce and onions, and homemade, fluffy potato rolls. Also delicious is the Chicken Katsu burger, with Japanese coleslaw, pickled cucumber, and wasabi aioli.

Here, the chef has created a menu that revolves around their signature smoking station, where every kind of meat – whether it’s brisket, ribs, or burgers – is smoked to perfection. The Holy Cow burger is a standout, featuring a smoked beef patty made from Serres beef, topped with caramelized onions, cheddar, a rich cheese fondue, and house-made BBQ sauce, all served on a buttery brioche bun. The smoked beef patty retains a pink hue, a signature characteristic of the smoking process, not its doneness, ensuring a juicy and tender bite. This burger, like all the offerings at Po’ Boys, comes with a side of perfectly crisp, golden fries that complement the richness of the burger. With its focus on slow-smoked meats and Southern BBQ traditions, this place delivers a hearty, flavor-packed experience in a laid-back setting.

Even though it’s centrally located, this place is at the same time hidden away on the pedestrian Kalamiotou street, near a cluster of fabric shops. Their burgers might be small but they’re also affordable, and what can be described as honest. Thus, if you have a bit of a raging appetite, you can easily try two together with fries. Go for the mushroom burger with three different kinds of mushrooms, parmesan flakes, lettuce, and a generous serving of mayonnaise. Also, the chicken burger with the nicely grilled chicken breast and pickles, homemade tomato sauce, and mayonnaise, is satisfyingly succulent. The Mediterranean burger with feta and olive paste makes a nice change from American classics.
