Where to find the best burgers and fries near Brockton

BROCKTON — Happy Friday everyone! What better way to end your work week than with an ice-cold beer and a hot, juicy burger fresh off the grill, made with love?

On this week’s episode of Brockton Eats with Alisha we enjoy our pre-weekend show with delicious burgers, fries and beer. We found some unique places with a twist on the classic American burger and more.

These weekly lists of facts and food finds are not reviews, but go beyond a simple collection. Writer Alisha Saint-Ciel provides tips and tricks to help Brockton-area foodies find delicious hidden gems, old favorites and exciting new offerings.

Enjoy the deep view of downtown, cars flying by on the main drag and the smell of seasoned burgers sizzling in the open kitchen. Two local siblings, Christos and Markos Liapopoulos, are the chefs behind the madness. They both suggest the Brockton Beer Company Burger, better known as the “BBC Burger,” a half-pound beef patty made with short rib brisket and chuck, topped with house-made bacon-bourbon jam, brie cheese, arugula and house-made beer pickles.

The chef’s second suggestion on the menu when it comes to burgers to try is the IPA chimichurri burger, an IPA chimichurri smothered with cotija cheese, mesclun vegetables, onions, tomatoes and house beer pickles.

I suggest you guys try the Wagyu smash burgers for just an additional two dollars.

“The Wagyu burger is almost a mosaic,” Markos said.

When the chef pounds it thin, it has super crispy edges and pockets of beautiful fat that seeps to make it extra crispy.

The texture of the meat has a “different mouthfeel” than anything you’ve ever tasted, Markos said.

Here at Brockton Beer Company, the “food speaks for itself.”

Barrett’s is not in Brockton, but is definitely worth the drive. According to their website, the beer house is the perfect place to watch live music and enjoy “the best burger in town.” The business has been open for a while and they aren’t shy when it comes to announcing that they have the ‘best burger’.

The menu consists of an interesting range of classic burger creations, including the Buffalo Dip Burger, Pineapple Sweet Chili Burger and the Grilled Cheeseburger wrap. All burgers are a mix of brisket and chuck with toppings you may not have seen anywhere else.

To my surprise, the Grilled Cheeseburger wrap is a real burger with bacon, lettuce, onions, cheddar cheese, dill pickle aioli and a pressed flour tortilla.

Are you adventurous and would you like to try this burger?

It may seem like the meat eaters are taking over, but don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten my planet-loving vegans and vegetarians.

Top Knotch Wellness Center has a ‘great’ vegan burger, according to the owners. They also have a completely vegan menu with pizza, burgers, wraps, tacos and Jamaican and Haitian patties in six flavors. You can indulge in the classic vegan burger with red onions, lettuce, tomato, cheese and homemade chipotle pikliz.

The restaurant focuses primarily on maintaining health and wellness through products, supplements and foods made from scratch in the restaurant.

Bob Cat’s serves ‘food for the soul’. Their burger will make you rethink the traditional dining experience. Not only do they have burgers, but also made-to-order fried wings in a variety of flavors, as well as salmon, shrimp, chicken, salad and loaded fries with many sides.

The owner recommends trying golden fever-laden fries, grilled honey garlic salmon with two sides of macaroni and cheese, and spinach. His favorite dish on the truck is a grilled burger, and you can get all the toppings, including macaroni and cheese, plus bacon if your heart desires.

I suggest trying the “Monster Burger” with mac and cheese, barbecue sauces, handmade condiments and fries.

Taste of Brazil – 696 Crescent St., Brockton

Taste of Brazil offers a literal “taste of Brazil” with its handmade patties, seared on the grill and topped with Brazilian spices.

Customers enjoy the fresh burgers, prepared in the “Brazilian way”, topped with fried cassava or fries. The X Bacon burger is a traditional hamburger with bacon, ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, corn, potato sticks, peas and mayonnaise.

They even have a vegetarian burger with grilled mushrooms, Swiss cheese and lettuce served with fries.

The burgers are different than the average burgers. They have unique toppings worth trying.
