Patch Picks: Five Great Burger Joints in Hudson

It’s what’s for dinner—a burger. There are plenty of places in Hudson to get a great one and these are five of them.

If you're looking to get stuffed then the stuffed bacon burger at Barker's Bar & Grill is the way to go. It's two 1/3 pounder Angus beef patties surrounding tomatos, onions and cheese. If that wasn't enough, it's topped off with hickory-smoked bacon, lettuce and more tomatoes and onions. There are about 15 other chicken, beef and turkey burger options at Barker's, too.

There are over 20 burger options at Agave Kitchen, or over 60 considering the burger can be made with beef, chicken or as a veggie burger. The half-pound burgers are tailored with toppings ranging from bacon to mushrooms to raspberry chipotle sauce. If you’re really feeling beefy, start your burger meal off with filet mignon sliders.  Accompany the burger with some chips and salsa or sweet potato waffle fries and your taste buds will thank you.

Bask in the days of youth filled with a love for all things peanut butter and try the peanut butter bacon burger at Pier 500. The burger is complete with creamy peanut butter, smoke house bacon, and seven ounces of hand-pattied fresh Angus beef, and the restaurant’s seasoning. More traditional burgers are also menu favorites.

A Wisconsin-inspired burger has made a statement in 400 Culvers restaurants across the nation, including Hudson. Butterburgers are made of fresh ground beef that isn’t frozen and topped with Wisconsin cheddar cheese. Have a side of cheese curds and some frozen creamy custard to sweeten the meal.

This is a good alternative to eating out. Venison America buys meat from individual farmers and smaller operations in the region and also international farmers. Selections include natural and all-natural beef and products are uniquely spices and blends the beef. If there’s a daring eater in the crowd try any of the wild game, zebra, rabbit or antelope meat and make a burger.
