TripAdvisor's Top Picks: Best Burgers in Southwest Louisiana
Summer in Southwest Louisiana is perfect for outdoor activities, warm weather, pools, and grilling. However, with 100% humidity and temperatures over 90°F, firing up the barbecue can be daunting. Where do you turn for a juicy hamburger or cheeseburger without breaking a sweat?

"Wonderful hamburgers"
Cotton’s Famous Hamburgers – Reviewed by bettys23 on March 16, 2017
My husband and I ate there for years when we visited Lake Charles. The hamburgers are wonderful. The buns are hot just like I like them, and the onion rings are to die for. (Visit their second location, Cotten’s Downtown.)
"Excellent Burger"
Prime Butcher & Brasserie (formerly Prime Cuttery) – Reviewed by pdebree on August 4, 2016
Went here for lunch one day. Fantastic burger and fries. You can tell the burger is fresh, not frozen. The bun is fresh, too. Get toppings like bacon and grilled onions at no extra cost!
"Outstanding!"
Vicki B’s Café – Reviewed by Mirandashae85 on February 13, 2017
My friend and I went to lunch here. The place is very nice and smelled of great food. I opted for a burger and fries; she got the fried catfish plate lunch. Our food came out quickly. My burger was huge, cooked perfectly, and so good.
"2 for $12 night"
Big Daddy’s Sports Grill – Reviewed by bumpetyboocarter on March 23, 2017
Thursday night is always 2 for $12 hamburgers. Don't miss this. Best burgers and wait staff in town. Small Mom & Pop place, but those are the best kind.
"Outstanding Burger!"
Rikenjaks Brewing Company – Reviewed by gman0119 on April 26, 2017
I noticed the sign out near the road saying "Best Burgers in Town". That grabbed my interest. I got the Chuck Vegas, and I do think it is the best in town! We've been twice, and they have been consistently good.
"Best burger I've ever had!"
Restaurant Calla – Reviewed by sav3367 on September 24, 2016
The Calla Burger is so good I don't want to try anything else! They use all natural, fresh, local ingredients too, and that is awesome.
"Good Burger and Gumbo"
Jack Daniel’s Bar & Grill – Reviewed by Robert R on October 1, 2016
L'Auberge is the best place to eat. The fire burger was real good and the gumbo is always great. I will be back and the price is reasonable.
"Great food"
Cadillac Bar Mexican Kitchen Tequila Bar – Reviewed by littlebit0863 on October 9, 2016
We had lunch here and the food was great. The restaurant is on the beach so the views are phenomenal. Service was great. Husband had the Mexican burger and said he was in heaven.
Make sure you visit the newest burger joint in Lake Charles, Bill’s Bar and Burger at Golden Nugget Lake Charles!
