So tasty! I'm not a burger girl. Meat eaters rejoice, Mesa is on the map. You may have converted this steak eater. Burgers are thin so get 2. I kept my order simple. Main course double burger with cheese surrounded by lettuce. Super juicy results and dam delicious dirty fries. Green chile, liquid cheese (in the 80s we used to chug this stuff) fries are fresh potatoes and actually salted. Hip hip hooray for people that work hard and produce delicious results. Red Crème soda people, yum yum Bit nosy, hot day and packed with people sadly the restaurant ran out of ice. You're on your way main burger- come to San tan valley, we need this read more

Main Burger - Double Patty and dirty fries - Burgers Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We came when the hood wasn't working so the place was quite smoky. We ordered a single Sonoran burger $14 combo. I unfortunately wasn't able to taste the smashed burger past the overly burnt cheese. As others have mentioned, definitely have to get the double to be able to get that beef burger taste. Classic single burger was also just okay but it wasn't overpowered by burnt cheese. It was Wing Wednesday and the wings were okay. Would I come back? Maybe, to give them another chance and hope the hood is working. read more

Visited in a Saturday evening and I have to say downtown Mesa has completely transformed from what it used to be. The streets were lively with people and bands playing on almost every corner. Tried out this place and for the long line I was expecting to be blown away by the food but it was just a good standard burger and fries. I will say friendly staff and they were on top of making sure the eating area was clean. They had a dj outside in the seating area which was pretty cool. read more

Amazing burgers and breakfast sandwiches. Fries are great too. Housemade ranch is so good! Dips and sauces are .50 each which is not bad but remember that when they ask if you want them. Fast service and cute place!! Great location on Main Street in Downtown Mesa. read more

Great location with plenty of parking, a spacious interior, and outdoor seating. The ambiance was really nice. I loved the music and how friendly the staff was. We tried the double bacon cheeseburger with pickles. I'm not a fan of sweet pickles and these were a bit sweet for my taste, so I would skip them next time. The meat itself wasn't very seasoned, but altogether the burger still had a good overall flavor. The fries are fresh-cut and really good. We also had the Sonora burger with house sauce, bacon, caramelized onions, and a cheese crust. It had a solid flavor; not an explosion of flavors, but everything worked well together. Overall, the food was good. Not the best burger I've ever had, but definitely enjoyable and I had a great lunch. read more

Ever since our first bite of the Chiwas burger, we've been hooked. It instantly takes us back to our trips to Mexico & enjoying those unforgettable street-style burgers. The meat is always cooked perfectly, and the toppings and spices are packed with flavor. The fries come out hot every time and are seasoned just right. And the horchata?! Pure cinnamony goodness - definitely a must-try. On top of the great food, the employees are consistently friendly & make us feel genuinely welcome every time we come back. Definitely a place to try. read more

Today I got the hot dog. It was delicious! Usually I get the Sonoran burger which was my favorite until today. Now I'm torn. I'm going to have to alternate from now on. Food is always great.

Downtown Mesa is forming into an "it" place for food. Opting out of the chain restaurants of most of vibey strips in AZ (DT Gilbert, Scottsdale, etc...). Instead are a bunch of small business owner making their stake in this world. Main Burgers is just that. Right across the street from one of the few chain restaurants "Pedal Haus" is this cool little burger joint. They have a nice musical vibe with a varied mix. Very varied. Super cool. My wife had the classic burger and fries. She said it was delicious. Ranking up there with anything else she likes... The Five Guys, 7 Brothers, or In N Outs of the world. Sesame seed buns are always a plus. I had the Chiwas Burger Protein style. The patties were cooked great with just enough seasoning to give the meat flavor but not take away from the flavor of the meat. The sauce was amazing. It added a sweetness that distract from the small subtle bite of the spicy peppers. Full disclosure, I've been dabbling in spicy lately but still very much overreacted to anything over a super mild. The kicker was the slice of ham on top. Something about mixing pork and beef together that just works. In all this a great burger spot. What you are looking for when you want to go out and have a burger and beer and just chill for a minute. read more

Main Burger - Burgers Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Not gonna lie, I had to come here two days in a row to give a solid opinion. The first day I got a classic double and it had caramelized onions on it. Now, I truly think it's a sin to put caramelized onions On a classic unless you're at a White Castle but that's me. Day two, I ask for raw onions and they were more than happy to make it that way. They literally cook this on a grill right in front of you so you know it's done exactly right. The patty is perfectly salted and fried by a master grill man. This is a burger to champion fat and drunk people. Do you want to call me a liar? There is literally a brewery right across the street... test me bitch!!! Also, not to mention... they also serve Cider Corps beer if you are lazy!!! This is a perfect sober day burger or a drunk evening burger. Highly recommend... read more

Main Burger - Old school diner feel. Clean. Simple. Friendly. - Burgers Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This spot is a great go to for a quick bite, especially when you want something easy but still really good. We love coming here for a quick dinner, and the food never disappoints. You can tell the owners know what they're doing. They also own several well known restaurants in the area, and that experience shows in the quality and flavor. The burgers are elevated with Southwest and Mexican inspired ingredients that make them stand out from your typical burger joint. They also offer wings and salads, so there's something for everyone. Everything we've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Definitely a solid option when you want a fast, delicious meal without sacrificing quality. We were so hungry I ate without taking a picture! Guess we need to come back read more

Good food! But it is so hot and crowded every time we go. We will get food to go next time!

We were in the area for an event and when I saw a joyful burger mascot I knew it was go time. WOW wow wow, first they were busy, but the service was amazing. The order taker knew the food, made recommendations, and even brought us our food. The big draw is green chilis. I love me some green chilis and woohoo. Their burger chiwas and breakfast burger were both amazing, juicy, spicy, and cooked to perfection. Their fries were crisp even with the cheese on top which was a big win. I want to come back and try their other options. Nice little burger joint vibe, great place to eat while in downtown Mesa read more

Main Burger - "Sonoran Style" hot dog combo and bacon cheeseburger combo - Burgers Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Was in Mesa for a conference and stepped out for lunch. Looked up a few different places and ended up here at main burger! The menu is very simple which is nice because you don't have a million decisions to make. The service was great and despite being busy, they were really prompt on every order placed. The burger was very smash burger style but with house sauce and sautéed onions, it was the perfect amount of crispy and moist. The flavors were on point. The fries were hand cut style and crispy which I love but a few were just a tad too hard. Soft drinks and free refills really made this place shine. It is a tiny place so if you go right at lunch time you might wait for a table. Would definitely come back here again. Happy to have stumbled across this place! read more

Went to Main Burger shortly after it opened up in downtown Mesa. There was a ton of hype around it so I had to check it out. It's a cool little spot, inside vibes are very much like an old time burger diner, which I loved. The staff were friendly and helpful. I got the Double Chiwas (roasted green chile) burger. It was pretty good! It was definitely worth a try but not a jaw dropping experience. Scale of 1 - 10, I'd go back but not going out of my way to make it happen. read more

This is my third review of this burger spot. I have to say, I have been a few times for lunch since my first review and this time just after 5 pm on a Thursday night really fell short. The burger was out suspiciously fast. The patties were dry, under seasoned, and the cheese was charred like it was cooked on the griddle top. There was a hint of heat from the jalapenos on the Sonora burger but it seriously lacked the punch that I came to love about it from past visits. I hope this isn't the new status quo. Service was great as always. Friendly and helpful. I will have to try it again during the lunch rush as I have in the past. Maybe the day shift just does it better? read more

Single burgers are about 1/8" thick, no lie! Burnt too. The inside of the place was smoke filled from the grill. Not worth $10. read more

I am glad we finally made it out here. I had a tough day after work last week, and my husband ended up not making dinner so we got some burgers! They have their own parking lot, but right behind them is public and free parking with many more spaces. The inside is a little small, but there is a plenty of seating outside. They make everything to order, so you can smell the grill once the order goes in. We ordered the Classic burger, single patty, the hotdog, and a cheesecake. The classic burger was pretty good - loved their pickles! Next time, we will try the other burger styles as it might give us the little oomph we were hoping for. The hotdog though was TOP TIER. It came with beans, cojita, chilies - it was just a dream. This was a great spot to try out, and the aesthetic was pretty cute too! read more

Wanted a quick but quality burger. Found this place and decided to give it a try and was not disappointed. It has a relaxing diner vibe.

Stopped by for dinner and it stayed busy the whole time we were there. We were helped a few mins after we arrived and the cashier was friendly. I ordered a plain double cheeseburger combo with toppings on side and my sister had a double Chiwas burger. We sat outside on the patio and the cashier brought us our food. The burgers came out hot and smelled delicious. My cheeseburger was good. The meat was cooked well, juicy, and had a lot of flavor. The chiwas burger was really messy and the bread quikcly became very soggy and it fell apart after a few bites. The flavor was good though. In total paid $43 for two burgers, one drink, and order of fries. read more

New burger joint in DT Mesa, used to be the old Subway sandwich shop. This is an upgrade for sure but I really wanted to like it more. Came in wanting to give 5 stars. Starting with the positives- it's very cute now, it was quick, and food was decent. I ordered the Chiwas burger -- single patty. Shared some of my friend's fries. It Was good, but not great. I thought I would be wowed but I just wasn't. I am a self proclaimed burger lover, and so I enjoyed it but I thought given the new place, higher prices, and mention of award winning chef it would be one of the better burgers I've had. It wasn't. And the connection to tacos Chiwas set my expectations higher since I love them. I might give it another try next time I'm over in the area. Not opposed to it. I actually see this place as 3.5/5 but Yelp doesn't do half stars (even though they should) and I don't want to down rate a new local place trying to get business going. So it's 4 stars with that in mind. read more

Caught some sunshine this weekend and stopped by Main Burgers with my spouse -- and wow, the Chiwas burger was the real MVP. I also tried the Sonora, which was solid, but that Chiwas? I'm already planning my next visit just for that one. The fries were crisped to perfection (the way fries should be), and the patio seating made it a great spot to chill and people-watch near the light rail. I wasn't blown away by the cheese sauce, but that's minor -- there's so much more I want to try from their menu. Service was quick and friendly, though I wouldn't have minded a little more energy from the staff. Still, overall vibe was chill and inviting. If you're in the area, this spot's definitely worth checking out. Bonus points for the bright pink baskets and that ice-cold Jarritos to wash it all down. read more

The cheeseburger is not worth $10, such a thin patty & our fries were ice cold. Guy at register seemed like he didn't want to be there & guess he didn't hear me say no special sauce cause I got with it & looked at receipt & it didn't say that so did my best to scrape it off. read more

A definite upgrade from the old Subway that was here previously! We stopped by one night just before a big crowd came in (lucky!) There is some parking in their lot, but not a lot. The menu is simple (basically, burgers, dogs, salad, fries and cheesecake) and ordering is easy. I got the burger, double, Chiwas style. That's the one with cheese, green chiles, ham, onions and more. It came out with the melting cheese slowly sliding down the side of the burger, telling me to eat it NOW. The patties were very flavorful and the combination was tasty--ham on a burger, who knew? The chiles that evening were not very spicy, but still good. Overall, the combination worked for me even though it was really messy. I shared a side of fries with my wife and it was plenty with the double burger. Service was fast and the place was clean. read more

Went here several months ago, but it was on a Sunday and they close at 4. Guess what time i got there? Yup, 4. Got around to getting back there a couple days ago and, why did I wait so long! The buger was awesome! Very short menu so I went all out and ordered the double Chiwas burger. 2 charred patties that were some of the most flavorful I've had in a long time! Caramelized onions, cheese, green chillies, ham slice, sauce, pickles and lettuce . It was a big, beautiful, messy, tasty burger! I will definitely be back! The place is bright, clean and cheerful. Lively Mexican music playing and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. There's outdoor seating under umbrellas. Tables were clean and so was the floor. No complaints from me! read more

We have made an attempt at eating at Main Burger a couple weeks ago, but there was such a long line and no seating because of the crowd that we decided to wait a couple weeks. It was still busy, but we didn't have trouble getting a table for four inside at around 5:30. It did look to be picking up a little with people having to sit outside by the time we left. I'm a huge fan of restaurants from the Chiwas group. I especially love Espiritu and Santo Arcadia (the birria dumplings are amazing!!!). I've had the burger at Espiritu, and thought it was fantastic. I kind of had the same hopes for Main Burger. There's not much to the interior. White walls and a counter to order at, some basic tables and chairs. There is a pretty cool neon piece on the wall, and a painting of the main burger man on one wall. That's just about it - - cute enough but nothing special. I'm a little surprised at some of the reviews saying it's very instagrammable. Maybe I'm missing something? We ordered the Chiwas burger and the classic burger, both with fries. I wanted to be blown away by these burgers. They were fine. They were burgers. Again I'm kind of surprised at people saying these are mind-blowing burgers. There's nothing especially fantastic. They're just burgers with various toppings. They seemed to fall someplace between fast food burgers and full-service restaurant burgers. I didn't care for the fries. By the time I got them they were room temperature and kind of chewy. Don't get me wrong, I did not dislike this place. It was fine. I just can't help but wonder if people are jumping on the bandwagon and playing into the hype because of the talent that the Chiwas group is known for. People jump on these bandwagons all the time. I think that if this place opened and did not have their names attached to it, it might go unnoticed. Again, not bad, just not as fantastic as I keep hearing about. Will I be back? Probably - - I work in downtown Mesa and there isn't another place to get a burger downtown. Would I make a special trip to come here if I weren't in the area? Nope. I'll save my special trips for their other restaurants. read more
