Finding the best burger in town is a tough job, but we know you’re up for the challenge. Check out these awesome burger joints in Columbia and find out for yourself which is serving up the best. 
Burger Tavern 77
Burger Tavern 77 is a unique dining option in Columbia. Everything on the menu is handmade in-house and cooked to order. The menu is a build-your-own experience, whether it’s a sandwich, a salad, or one of their spectacular burgers. That means you get to decide exactly what you want.
Wondering where the tavern gets its name? There are literally 77 different options available for your burger creation. That means there are over 200,000 possibilities available. That’s a lot of burgers to try. Choose between beef, turkey, chicken, or veggie. Then decide whether you want it on a white bun, a whole wheat bun, an onion bun, or flatbread.
After that, it’s all about the cheese, the type of lettuce and vegetables, and then which hand-crafted sauce to choose. They have interesting options like apple and cherry chutney or blue cheese barbecue.
Mack’s Cash Grocery
For a simple, no-frills burger joint, get yourself to Mack’s Cash Grocery. The burgers at Mack’s are famous around Columbia. You may also want to try one of their buttery hot dogs while you’re there.
Better than any fast food burger in town, the flat-top grilled burgers at Mack’s will make your mouth water. It’s served on a soft white bun with American cheese, ketchup, pickles, and onions with a huge side of crinkle-cut fries. It’s a nice family-style place with a few tables inside and some benches outside during the warmer months. You can also take your burgers to go.
Rockaway Athletic Club
This little dive bar serves up great cocktails and has local craft beers on draft, but the locals stop at the Rockaway Athletic Club for one thing: the pimento cheeseburger. It’s a huge beef patty topped with pimento cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions and served with a big pickle and side order of fries.
If you enjoy a cheesy burger, you’ll love the way this one oozes. It’s slightly salty, lightly spiced, and incredibly juicy. It’s also incredibly messy, so be sure to grab plenty of napkins.
The Kingsman Restaurant
Just outside of the city center in the suburb of Cayce is a burger worth traveling for. While they serve up a nice selection of burgers that are cut and formed in-house daily, the real reason to head to the Kingsman Restaurant is for their ribeye burgers.
All of the ribeye burgers are made of 10 ounces of ground up ribeye. Opt for the Kings Throne, which comes with white cheddar, fried jalapeños, and crispy bacon. They also have one topped with blue cheese and one coated in buffalo sauce.
Don’t forget to choose your side. You don’t have to just have your burger with fries. At the Kinsman Restaurant, you can choose from a huge selection of sides to go with your burgers like a baked potato, onion rings, tater tots, coleslaw, or macaroni and cheese.
