Better Burger Grill & Bar · Liverpool
A Liverpool burger spot that This Is CNY's Jacob Pucci reviewed for its cooking, singling out the sear on both patties of the classic cheeseburger ($15.49) and the crispy, savory bits it left behind. The menu also runs to build-your-own Better Bowls, including a version with chicken ($16.99), plus milkshakes. Order the classic cheeseburger and a shake.
