Who doesn’t love a juicy burger? Pennsylvania has some great burger spots. Even if you’re a vegetarian or vegan, there are plenty of non-meat options. Of course, if you’re a meat eater, than you have an even bigger bounty of burger choices.

Now, the crew at Eat This, Not That! has put together a study to determine the best burger in each state. “Sure, you can pull through the McDonald’s drive-thru when you’re craving a beef patty on a bun,” they state in the article. “But there’s something special about eating a gourmet burger—one that has fancy condiments, a special bun, or a slice of artisanal cheese. For those occasions, you’ll want to head to a local restaurant. And lucky for you, we have plenty of recommendations. We’ve partnered with Yelp to bring you the best burger in every state.”

As for methodology, “To come up with this list, Yelp went through the “burgers” category and found the best burger restaurant in each state. In this case, ‘best’ is defined by both Yelp’s star ratings and by how many reviews each restaurant has. Using Yelp’s list of best burger restaurants, we looked through the reviews to find the individual burgers that stood out at each establishment.”

So, what’s tops in Pennsylvania? It’s not surprising. Stock Burger at Stockyard Sandwich in Philadelphia. “You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu at Stockyard Sandwich, but these burgers are some of the best around,” the publication states. According to the restaurant’s official website, “At Stockyard Sandwich Co. is it our mission to be a staple in Spring Garden for high quality sustainable food at a reasonable price.
