Liz Johnson When she was young, Liz Johnson hated lima beans, onions and liver. She grew out of that, and even before she began writing about food for The Journal News in 2000, she discovered she loves fricasse, French onion soup and foie gras. READ MORE

Try Keanes on Middletown Road on the Nanuet/Pearl River border (just off 304 across from Wyeth/Lederlee). Very juicy tasty burgers.
Hmm burgers depends on people’s taste. I have hated what people call a great burger. They are rare to find. some are too big. some use too hard a bun. I have found a few places. but they arent anything to go out of the way for.. there’s a place in manhattan that was really good. Jimbos.
But up here? i would have to say that at some of the local pubs. like nanuet motel or legends. their burgers are decent.
When I want a good Burger, I go to Sutters Mill in Airmont.
The burgers at Publick House on Rte. 202 in Haverstraw are the best! They have have a large selecton of creative burger toppings. They are all high quality ground meat and very tasty! Everything from a light turkey-burger to a cheeseburger topped by a fried egg (really!) I also like the small tv’s built into some of the dining tables. You can tune in for your children or your favorite sports.
Ireland’s 32 in Suffern. I used to think it was Sutters until I ate there. The burgers were huge, hot, and juicy, I was so impressed.
Rick’s Club American in Congers, YUMMY!
I have to say that the Ol’e Town Inne in Suffern, NY is the best burger making spot ther is in Rockland co. The surroundings are very friendly but quite appeasing to the general public, never a huge crowd, unless its Thursday, but it’s not only a fun place to be,but the quality of people, and staff are absoultly the greatest. Just like cheers, everybody knows you.
The burgers at Bailey’s in Blauvelt are very good, but don’t discount the Fatburger at the Palisades Mall.
O’D’s in Nyack has the best bacon swiss burger around. It’s beena favorite for 20 years !!!!
Yes Irelands is very good. not just burgers.
not a fan of rick’s
THE BEST AND ONLY PLACE I’LL EAT A BURGER OUT (NOT HOME)
IS THE GREENHOUSE CAFE ON MIDDLETOWN RD. PEARL RIVER ,NY
RIGHT BEHIND SCHWEITZER’S FLORIST. ONLY SERVED AT LUNCH
I BELEIVE. QUALITY AND CLEANLINESS IS PARAMOUNT HERE.
The Guiltless Black Bean Burger at Chili’s (non-meat) on Route 59 in Nanuet is terrific! The taste is so wonderful you certainly don’t miss the meat.
I agree that the burgers at the Greenhouse Cafe are great – but I also like the burgers at the Saloon in Pearl River, just down the street from the train station.
Try Gildea’s on Central Avenue in Pearl River – formerly Sheeran’s. Great quality beef and good-sized too!
I really do understand what you mean by a “great” burger, and I do enjoy a good flavorful burger every now and then, BUT—- we are also very fortunate to have in Nanuet a White Castle. I’m not kidding, I grew up eating “great” burgers, and White Castle burgers. Which do I crave every once in awhile… the White Castle burger. You either love them or hate them, but if you love them you would consider yourself lucky to have a White Castle in Rockland. When my dad comes up from Florida, our 1st stop is, White Castle.
ah good ole murder burgers. everyone has that crave.. its the next day u hate ;-]
Gildea’s is tops in my Burger Book right now, big, juicy and absolutely scrumptious!! But it’s the Olde Village Inne in Nyack for the best “Irish fries” in Rockland, maybe the world.
Good to see you, Liz!
CJ – What are “Irish” fries?
Michele,
They are called Irish Nachos and they are unbelievable. I’ll post a photo.
Last night’s dinner. Yum.
And yes, I am on my lunch hour.
Wow. Two votes for Gildea’s, huh? And I had no idea about the Publick House. The fried egg sounds right up my alley. Thanks guys, keep ‘em coming!
Sutters Inn and Irelands 32. Two of the best burgers. Not sure which I like better
I love having the (Swiss cheese) burgers at the Rockland Diner in New City (Third Ave. and 304). Tasty, never runny with grease, and priced right.
great burger at City Line (remodeled in Bennigans old location) ... On Main St. in New City. Tasty, large, and good toppings.
Kennelly’s Grille House in Congers (on rt 9w across from Rockland Lake). The Patty Melt is the best burger in the county!!
Definately try the Publik House burgers…they also have great Irish Nachos that they serve with waffle fries!
Beef
Until you have tasted real beef,that is cattle raised and grazed on grass onthe open plains and not feedlot grain fed cattle, you and the majority of people in the US do not know what beef is supposed to taste like.
The best beef in the world is from Agentina, Uruguay and Brazil
It is also “light,” does not leave you feeling bloated as in corn fed, grain fed feedlot cattle
Cattle, by nature are intended to eat grass.
thank you
Jay Hirsch
Steve C. is right – definitely try Legends on Main St. in New City – across from the courthouse. They’ve got a great burger selection to choose from. The rest of the menu ain’t too shabby either!
Sunnysides in Sloatsburg on the Rockland/Orange border off of RT17 has delicious burgers.
The BEST burgers have to be at the Mt.Ivy Diner on rte. 202 in Pomona. Those burgers are just sooooooo tasy. The diner is also nice to look at from outside. The inside provides you with a nice roomy atmosphere. The service and food are both so good.
Well although it definatly not a typical burgar joint, the burgers at Change in Nyack are sooooo good! Is a big bistro burger with lots of seasoning and flavor you have a choice of gorgonzola cheese or brie and you get a side of homemade chips. anyway check it out its worth it!
I think the best burger in Rockland is at Sutter’s Mill in Airmont. I like them plain and sometimes with cheddar cheese and sauteed onions. Great fries too.
Oh my! O’Donoghue’s restaurant in Nyack has the best burger
ever!!! Chef Phil makes the freshest, tastiest and juiciest burger in Rockland. I also enjoy the sweet potato fries.
I love this burger. O’d’s in Nyack makes the best made to order burger. It is so big, I usually have to cut it in half. I look forward to my next visit.
Give LuLu in West Nyack a try. Really great burgers..A great environment. Only downside is that you probably cannot finish it in one sitting and you will not have room for one of their amazing desserts.
OD’s makes the best burger. I was a vegetarian and tasted OD’s burger and now I am back to eating meat. I loved the burger.
Gotta give PUBLIK HOUSE in Garnerville, a try. My favorites with “real” blue cheese . Super clean place too.
I found the best burger at Cornerstone off Rte. 303 in Congers.
best burger is O’Donoghue’s Restaurant in Nyack
very fresh and great hamburger bun as well
nicely presented
i will be back for more
when will the contest results be published? which publication?

Hi Gerilynn,
It’s the June issue of Rockland magazine, which comes out at the very end of May.
Publik House in Garnerville… by far the best in the county.
OD’s burger is by far the best burger
I’ve tried many burgers and they really know how to serve and make a delcious burger
my vote is for OD’s
tried many burgers this month
it is definately No.#1
My friends love it too
I love OD’s. Chef Phil makes the greatest burgers. The chili burger was awesome. Love the selection of beers.
I look forward to my visits at OD’s
wow that’s a question!
I have read all these statements and I agree with some. Fatburger in the mall is pretty damn good, I must admit. I like Rick’s Club American in Congers.
My all time fave burger ANYWHERE is at Old Village Inn in Nyack. Big, fat, juicy burgers with buns that can stand up to all the juice and toppings. For that matter, I’ve never had a bad meal there period, and I’ve been eating there for 8 years!
