Few foods are as iconic and universally loved as the classic hamburger.

Juicy, simple, and endlessly satisfying, it holds a special place in American culinary tradition.

While gourmet variations have taken over trendy menus, there's something timeless about a well-made, no-frills burger that gets the basics just right. Massachusetts has its hidden gems: small-town diners, roadside joints, or family-owned grills where generations have perfected their version of the classic hamburger. One such standout brings together quality ingredients, expert grilling, and a loyal local following to elevate a humble patty on a bun into something unforgettable.

No matter where you are located, this burger is worth the trip! Prepare to meet the top contender for the best classic hamburger in Massachusetts.

According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the best classic hamburger in Massachusetts is served at White Hut in West Springfield.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about the eatery that serves the best classic hamburger in the state:

"A West Springfield institution, White Hut hasn't changed since 1939, even though it came under new ownership in 2020. Its signature Hamburg is an effective combination of a perfectly seasoned beef patty and a soft white bun – however, most people like to add a pile of freshly fried onions on top. For an even more indulgent meal, get yours as a Cheeseburg, smothered in melted white cheese."
