Taste of History- Best Burgers in Denver

A memory to a classic. The Cheeseburger.

There have been numerous claims to the invention of the cheeseburger. On March 5, 1935 the Cheeseburger Trademark was registered by Mr. Louis E. Ballast of Humpty-Dumpty Barrel Restaurant in Denver, Colorado. One may conclude that the cheeseburger originates. Who is to argue with a legal trademark?

Whether you prefer the all American classic cheeseburger or dressed up and over the top with unique flavors and flair, these burger joints are sure to leave you satisfied!

Although the original restaurant is no longer in operation, here is a list of the best burgers in Denver!
