The super juicy Black Angus burgers come straight from Ireland and are served in just two branches in Germany. How lucky that Leipzig is one of them. The high-quality patties impress with their fine flavour, the fries are crispy on the outside and velvety on the inside.

The flat burger patties at SmackThat Smashburger have a dark brown crust. The cooking process teases out the finest, almost nutty roasted flavours from them. Here you can get Smashburgers, also vegan, the way Americans love them and now many Germans do too.

Tender ribs, juicy burgers, milkshakes and cheesecakes: all of this literally melts in your mouth at JaNi's Diner. Mac 'n' cheese and American-style coleslaw are not to be missed. In addition to the food, the fantastic ambience and friendly service are also impressive.

The place to go for late-night burger cravings! This charming little kiosk serves burgers and fries until one o'clock in the morning at weekends. You can then eat at small bar tables in front of the kiosk. The mince for the patties comes from the in-house butcher's shop.

Opinions are divided about the sweet burger stand, but everyone agrees that the vegan burger is one of the best in Leipzig. On warm summer evenings, the atmosphere around the burger trailer in the "Zum Wilden Heinz" beer garden is frenetic and there is always something to look at.

At Rusty's Burgers, they swear by the fact that all ingredients come from local farmers and producers. Chilli cheese burgers, nugget burgers or the sweety burger with a sweet potato patty: there's plenty on offer. Currywurst and fries are also available here. A sinful street food restaurant.
