Eight Lexington burger restaurants with hours from their own sites: downtown, Foreman Avenue, Rosemont Garden, Beaumont, Fritz Farm and Nicholasville Road.
Last checked Oct. 16, 2026. Refreshed every three months.
Lexington’s burger restaurants are spread out. Downtown has Sawyer’s on West Main Street, and Tolly-Ho is just south on Foreman Avenue near the University of Kentucky. Rosemont Station is at Rosemont Garden off Nicholasville Road, BRU is in Beaumont, and the chains sit at The Summit at Fritz Farm, along Nicholasville Road and in Hamburg.
How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Lexington-Fayette, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 16, 2026. We added Tolly-Ho, Shake Shack, Culver’s and Freddy’s. Culver’s and Freddy’s location pages would not open for us, so we kept them on the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department’s 2026 inspection records. We left out drive-thru hamburger chains such as McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Sonic, A&W and Jaggers, which have many stores, and Frisch’s, BurgerFi, Backyard Burger and Bad Wolf Burgers, which we could not confirm as open. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run one of these places? Write to us to correct your entry.
