Maine Cheeseburger Named One of the Best in the U.S.
PSA: National Cheeseburger Day is TOMORROW 🍔📅
And yes — Maine’s got one of the best in the entire country.
Each year, National Cheeseburger Day, is celebrated on September 18th, honoring America's favorite sandwich with a slice of cheese.
Lovefood is a popular online food platform that provides recipes, cooking guides, food news, restaurant reviews, and meal planning.
They also make lists, which we love, so when it came down to listing the best cheeseburgers in the United States, we were curious to which Maine business serves up this tasty treat!
Butcher Burger was born in the Spring of 2014, specializing in unique burgers, sandwiches, lobster rolls and fries.
Their early roots began on the coast of Maine, where they operated a seasonal location, before expanding into Bethel, Maine, which continues to operate year-round.
They also have a restaurant in Portland, located at 7 Union Street. It has a casual walk‑in/take‑out friendly vibe, with some dine‑in.
They specialize in burgers, sandwiches, lobster rolls, and their “Butcher fries,” using fresh, local ingredients, like Maine lobster, which is locally sourced from lobster boats along the coast of Maine.
You simply must pair a Butcher Burger, with their triple-cooked "Butcher Fries" that can be topped with various sauces, for a meal that can't be beat.
Of course, since the Portland location in this historic Old Port district, they feature plenty of libations from local breweries, giving you the very best of Maine's craft beer scene.
Make this a road trip destination, to try the cheeseburger that is considered one of the best in the country.
