#1 523 TAP & GRILLE - The Main Street

ELKHART, IN

It's earned the top spot in Elkhart County and that's quite e feat considering the competition. This mountain high sandwich is not for the faint at heart.

The chef begins creating your masterpiece by using a soft browned bun as a foundation. Made with half a pound of fresh ground, Certified Angus Beef chuck, flame broiled over a char grill... and smothered with cheddar cheese.

Fresh tomato, lettuce and grilled mushrooms are carefully added. This beauty is topped off with applewood smoked bacon, and fried onion strings. Finally it’s drizzled with a special house barbecue ranch sauce. Oh yeah, just like Lakehouse, 523 brands your buns... at no extra charge!

#2 FIVE STAR DIVE BAR - Smoke House Burger

ELKHART, IN

Coming in a strong second place in this county filled with great burger contenders is Five Star Dive Bar's Smoke House Burger. They begin with delicious hand pattied Certified Angus, 100% Ground Chuck beef, cooked to order. They then slap it on a Brioche Bun (baked fresh from Gonella Bakery in Chicago) and add bacon. Finally your cook melts a symphony of cheeses (provolone, cheddar, mozzarella and smoked gouda) onto the patty and tops it with house-spun smokehouse sauce. This ain’t no ordinary dive bar...and it certainly ain’t no ordinary burger.

#3 FLIPPIN’ COW - Stella Moo Burger

ELKHART , IN

Already an award-winning burger, the Stella Moo from Flippin‘ Cow has really earned its stripes in ZZZippy’s Best Burger in Elkhart County Contest at #3. So what makes the Stella special? How about the fact that it’s made with double steak burger patties, topped with Applewood Smoked Bacon, a quality Pepper Jack cheese, smoked bisque and house-made Ale BBQ sauce. That is a really good start, however it’s when they throw on the onion straws that this thing really MOOS… now that makes for an award-winning burger!

#4 HEINNIE'S BACK BARN - The Claybaugh

ELKHART, IN

Rounding out our Top 4 Best Burgers is Heinnie’s Claybaugh Burger. This twin 1/3 pound burger with bacon, grilled onions, mushrooms, four different cheeses and all its condiments may not be great for you… but it sure is delicious.

Heinnie's named the burger after ex-Elkhart Police Officer Scott Claybaugh because…

Well, you’ll have to ask them why.

#5 MCCARTHY’S ON THE RIVERWALK - Big Irish Burger

ELKHART, IN

A 6.5 oz. beef patty with bleu cheese ,fries, bacon, fried egg, coleslaw, guacamole, lettuce, tomato and red onion served on a pretzel bun... making the Big Irish #5 in Zippy's contest.

#6 SOUTH SIDE SODA SHOP - New England Cheeseburger GOSHEN, IN

Take a quarter pound burger, combine it with melted cheddar cheese on grilled English muffin bread… so much better than a standard burger bun. Add lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, onions, pickles, bacon, ketchup, mustard and egg or mushrooms.So much better indeed!

#7 TONY’S FAMOUS GRILL - The Godfather

GOSHEN, IN

Tony's "Godfather" jumped in the #7 spot and held its own. A half-pound lean ground beef pattie grilled to perfection and served just the way you like it, plus cheese and bacon options!

#8 OLYMPIA CANDY KITCHEN - The Burger

GOSHEN, IN

Take a trip back to a time when a soda fountain hamburger was created from locally raised beef, freshly ground and grilled on a seasoned grill – to perfection. Then served on a toasted bun with lettuce, tomato, onions (raw or grilled), pickles, olives, bacon and homemade mayonnaise, with your choice of American or Swiss cheese. This burgers is your time machine.

#9 BETWEEN THE BUNS - Angry Knight Burger

ELKHART, IN

A great burger indeed! This hot-headed burger gets heated up with Cajun seasoning, zingy Boom-Boom sauce, crisp bacon and pepperjack cheese. And if that’s not volatile enough, it’s topped off with frizzled onions and jalapeno peppers! It is certainly one of the county's best burgers.
