OMGosh. Easily some of the best burgers I've had in the Valley or Anchorage. These are NOT eat while driving burgers; way too juicy and loaded with toppings. These are grab all the napkins and a picnic table with scenic mountain views type burgers. My daughter had the jalapeño popper burger and I had immediate FOMO. I wasn't as hungry so I went classic with the bacon cheeseburger and didn't come close to being able to finish. My husband? A lover of gyros - so he jumped on the gyro burger and ate every bite. They both passed out in the car on the way home, full of Butte Burger bliss. read more

The burger was big, the ingredients were fresh, and the bun was soft. The only downside was the patty was very dry and dense. Our burgers were not juicy at all, which was unfortunate given how good the rest of the burger was. Hoping it was a one-off and the next visit will prove me wrong! read more

Don't forget your bib, paper towels, and wet wipes because these massive, yummy, drippy, amazing tasting burgers will take some mopping up. This burger is hands down the most for your money and the best tasting burger in the valley. The place is plain and simple, the people who run it are all smiles and the prices are more than fair. read more

Food is delicious and you get your monies worth! Onion rings over fries! When you call in, his quote times of when food will be ready is pretty accurate. read more

Very large burgers, crispy onion rings and yummy fries! Took about 12 minutes to get our two burgers which was pretty quick for a one person operation. Definitely order ahead if you want to avoid delays. You can easily split a burger between two people at this place. It's a bit out of the way but a great burger with fresh bright green lettuce and red tomatoes. We had the sunshine and the bacon cheeseburger. read more

The Butte Burger Place - Patty Melt, Yum!! - Burgers Near Me - Palmer, Alaska

Best fish sandwich I've ever had!! The trip was definitely worth it. Huge portion. Fresh veggies. And you need a ton of napkins!

This is truly a spicy burger!. I've been searching for a good one and luckily my boss recommended this place to me. The drive is always beautiful. The man who runs the place is friendly and talkative. It's a small unassuming shack on the side of the Old Glenn. He has a WIDE selection of burgers. These burgers shine! For $17 I got the biggest burger i have seen in a while. The hot sauce is made with habaneros, jalapeños and serrano peppers. Its not just spicy and truly has a ton of flavor. This would be an excellent place in the summer to eat as there's a little area with stools and picnic tables where you can take in the awesome view. There's something for everyone here. I like that you can get potato salad as a side instead of just fries or onion rings. He said that the spicy burger is the most popular and now I see why. I am going to be a regular here. Great value for excellent food! read more

Found this place when researching restaurants on the way to our ATV trip . They were rated very high and had great reviews. After eating this massive Burger in these really good crispy fries, I've got to say this is one of the top 5 burger places I've ever eaten. Anywhere. That's an easy 5 out of 5 Stars 10 out of 10 Stars read more

This place is literally a shack with six or so barstool seats on the porch - otherwise it's takeout. They have a wide selection of different kinds of burgers. Their fries and burgers are good - not life-altering like many reviews would indicate. Prices are steep - like Five-Guys steep - but the burgers are large and filing. The staff (owners?) are super friendly. read more

Do not underestimate this roadside eatery. Driving past this spot you are probably thinking "who the hell is getting food from this shack!" I am here to inform you that you should absolutely be stopping here for a big, juicy burger. This spot formerly housed "Jim Creek Fatt Burger", and I am pleased to report the burgers are still great. New owner, new name, still some of the best burgers around. The menu has changed, and some of the more creative burgers are no longer available, but a lot of the staples are available still just under different menu names. My favorite is the flavorly, and my husband's is the good choice burger. If you want more spice to your burger ask them to add their house hot sauce. It is very tasty. I actually think that the burger patty was way better flavored than when I dined here under the previous owner. It was seasoned well, and extremely juicy. You still cannot select your temperature, but this patty did not taste over cooked and retained a lot flavor. I was impressed with this burger. You can also select different sides now, which also adds points in my book. You have the choice of fries, onion rings, potato salad, or cottage cheese. I always appreciate more selection. Wait times can sometimes be long as everything is made to order, and I do not think they are working with the largest kitchen in this roadside hut. Wait times can sometimes be around 45 minutes. I feel like since you aren't at a sit down restaurant you are more aware of the wait. One other change is that they are open 7 days a week, and are open earlier in the afternoon. More opportunities to eat is clearly a positive. The owner here is super friendly, and they are always very pleasant to order food from. Definitely head out to Palmer to get your burger fix! read more

Plenty of parking. Juicy burgers. Big portions and you really do get what you pay for. I like this place because the owner is so generous and will stay open for you if you call ahead. The lettuce in the burgers is always fresh, meat is cooked just right. The burger can barely fit in my hands I always have to cut it in half. This is definitely one of my regular spots. read more

I ordered the patty melt on rye bread. He made the sandwich with a heavy amount of swiss cheese and made it even better with red onions. The fries were fresh and hot, just needed a little more salt. They have an extensive menu to meet everyone's needs, young and old. Healthy cautious people and not. Great view of the mountains. read more

First of all it was our pleasure to go to Buttes burger the food was great. The burgers at this little off the road stand with outdoor seating place fresh and flavorful. The service is by one outgoing hardworking guy working as fast as he can. It was a little slow but did not matter when you got your meal so worth it. It appeared to be the locals favorite place. The ambiance sitting out side and taking in the beautiful Alaska which is defiantly gods country. Such a great memory for us as we are tourist. read more

The first time we stopped by to get a burger it was great. The 2nd time we stopped-- not so great. I just asked if there were napkins? The owner bit my head off and snapped that the napkins were in the bag. He said isn't that enough napkins for you? He also overcharged us. The food is great, but his snarly attitude is not, so we won't be back. read more

I thought I already reviewed a bodacious burger bar behind the butte in Butte? Apparently, this place is under new ownership, hence I no longer have a review for it. I've been working up in Palmer so I'm trying to expand my Yelp bubble. The burgers aren't quite as "out-there", creatively, as I remember. However, they are every bit as good. I got the "5 star" burger and it was sloppy, juicy, and MASSIVE, just as a burger that costs nearly $20 should be. Don't be fooled by the prices, you are getting what you pay for! This burger could probably sustain my metabolism for weeks, but I gobbled it up in one sitting. (then burned off 1/128th of the calories with a hike up Bodenburg Butte afterwards). It comes with fries, they are battered-style fries. If you're from the south and have been to "Checkers"/"Rally's", they are kind like that. The wait times can be long, so if you're in a hurry, I highly recommend calling ahead! read more

Came on a Weds in late summer around noon, was just me and another couple at first, then traffic picked up and was steady. It's easy to miss, I was glad for the picture to know what to look for and added another. This is an order at the window place, with some bar stools near the window and four picnic tables out front. All have great views of the mountains surrounding Butte. Plenty of parking all around the building. All burgers come with fries, onion rings, potato salad or cottage cheese. I went for the hot & spicy, which has a special sauce of jalapeños with some roasted habaneros to give it a kick. Nice and hot without being over the top. Swiss, American, blue or pepper jack cheese are options. There are veggie burgers, sandwiches and other options if you don't feel like a burger. VEGANS: If you call ahead you can get a vegan burger, just ask! (the veggie burger has cheese). The chef can even add French fries to the vegan burger, as they are cooked in vegetable oil. Add the veggie toppings - even onion rings - and you're all set. Prices go from $11 for plain burger to $17 for the fancy ones. The burgers are giant, you could easily split one if you want a smaller portion. Burger was well cooked and had everything you would want - fresh toppings, spongey bun and good sauce. I made the mistake of ordering cheese on top of the hot & spicy - don't do it, it makes it too much, competing with the bacon and other flavors, I scrapped it off after a few bites. Drink choices limited to sodas and water, so bring your own if you want something different. Ask for extra napkins as the big burgers can be messy! An excellent, easy stop if you're around Palmer or heading back to Anchorage from the west, only about 10 minutes from Route 1. read more

Amazing spot that has giant, delicious burgers. Great spot to go to after a hike or fishing.

Loved it! The burgers are amazing, onion rings superb. The owners are super friendly! A definite must stop!!!!

Huge burger with fresh ingredients! I especially like that they have so many layers of lettuce! The halibut is fresh and tender! Including the fries, everything is freshly made. Make sure you tip them really well because of the burger could probably be enough for the entire day's intake. read more

Not really sure why you wouldn't give this guy five stars?? Best Ecuadorian hamburger around! My wife and are are visiting from Ohio. After a nice climb up Bodenburg Butte we decided to stop in here for lunch. What a great treat! The burgers were huge (we split one), the ingredients were all super fresh, and the conversation with the owner was very enjoyable. We would highly recommend to anyone the next time you are in the area. A burger with a view! read more

I'm giving this review based on the hamburger only. The building is cute and what I would consider a hole in the wall place. The signage on the building looks like it was done by a 1st grader but adds to the charm. The owner is very nice but the bacon cheeseburger I had was just awful. The meat is mystery meat and the color looked grey. It did have fresh crispy lettuce but the cheese was processed wrapper cheese. The bun was soft but the jalapeños were just pickled out of the jar and not spicy at all. The bacon was rubbery and I had to take it off. The burger is huge but I could only eat three bites before it started to make me sick. It also made my daughter very sick and anxious feeling. I think the meat has a touch of liquid smoke in it and that stuff is awful for you. I'm not sure what the rest of the menu is like but if you're going for a burger, I would pass this place up. read more

This spot is a great place to drop in after shooting at Kenny and Patti Barbers shooting range. Its a few minutes up the road headed back to Anchorage area. While waiting in line, other locals stated it was their 4th visit that week. Wow, must try right? I got the Sunshine Burger which adds Onion Rings on it. The wait was about 20-25 min because the group ahead had a larger order and all burgers are made to order. Well the burger couldn't fit in one hand and literally I couldn't bite off a whole bite of it, it was so big. It was like 2 in 1. Will come back again. Seating is all outdoor and drinks are Soda cans. read more

Tiny hole in the wall burger joint on the side of Old Glenn Highway. We stopped in after hiking the Butte and oh my gosh what a find!!! Quite possibly the best burger and fries we have had in our lives! Definitely glad we split it because trying to eat a whole one would be an ordeal! The kids size burger is definitely the size of a large in other places so be warned. 12/10 would recommend! read more
