National Hamburger Day 2025: Celebrate Classic Burgers in Style
If ever there was a day to honor America’s most iconic handheld meal, National Hamburger Day 2025 is it. Falling on Wednesday, May 28, this beefy celebration is the perfect excuse to dive into some of Philadelphia’s best burger offerings, from refined rooftops to riverfront resorts. Whether you prefer your patty dry-aged, double-smashed, or dripping with jalapeño jam, this city is sizzling with specials.
Start in the heart of the Italian Market at Alice, where the Dry-Aged Burger ($23) is crowned with BBQ Vidalia onions and white sauce, perched on a challah bun and begging for a side of shio koji and garlic aioli fries. Head skyward to Attico Rooftop, where the Attico Burger ($18) serves double black angus patties with fontina and shallot jam. Pro tip: top it with an egg or applewood bacon for brunch-time brilliance.
In East Passyunk, Townsend delivers the upscale Le Burger ($18) at happy hour only, topped with aged cheddar and green peppercorn aioli on a soft milk bun. Over at Fond, the Double Smash Burger ($21)—praised by Craig LaBan—comes loaded with fried onions and Russian dressing, a BYOB brunch dream on buttered brioche.
If you’re cruising along Penn’s Landing, Keating’s Rope & Anchor serves up a classic twin-patty cheeseburger ($16) paired perfectly with their house Latitude 39 Pale Ale. For a refined yet relaxed bite, visit Patchwork at the Hyatt Centric, where The Patchwork Burger ($26) shines with Swiss cheese and house-made ketchup. During happy hour (Mon–Fri, 4–6 pm), enjoy it with beer and fries for $24.
The Twisted Tail in Headhouse Square is dishing out The Twisted Burger ($14) with blue cheese, bacon, and bourbon BBQ sauce during brunch. Or swing by their Friday night #TGIF Social Hour for a burger, bourbon, and beer trio—yours for just $15.
And at Urban Farmer, the Logan Hotel’s in-house steakhouse, The Farm Burger ($22) takes a luxe approach with white cheddar on a house-made English muffin. Add bacon or avocado for a custom twist, served lunch only from 11 am–2 pm.
