The burger is a universally beloved food, or at least an American classic. We can rejoice in its simplicity - meat, bun, and done - or enjoy a culinary creation with accouterments of all kinds. Whatever burger style you're craving, New Jersey has got you covered. The following list features some of the best burgers in New Jersey, including vegetarian options. Being a big burger fan, this is my second list on the subject, adding to my first: These 15 Burger Joints In New Jersey Will Make Your Taste Buds Explode. Please note that this isn't a ranking... head to the burger joint nearest you and get noshing.

1. Steve's Burgers, Garfield

Scoring 5-star reviews on Google and high marks on Yelp, you'll love this roadside stop. Prices are affordable and the cheeseburgers are to live for. If you're feeling adventurous, try the Steve Burger (pictured) with onion rings and special sauce. They serve some of the best burgers in New Jersey!

2. Augie's Burgers, Wildwood (permanently closed)

While the classic burger options are all scrumptious, the real stars are the stuffed burgers - burgers filled with peppers, mushrooms, and more. Try the Bacon Cheddar (pictured) or Jalapeno Popper for a kick.

3. The Pop Shop, Collingswood/Medford

An old-school soda shop with a modern menu, the burger selection is incredibly inventive. Try the Breakfast Burger (American cheese, a fried egg, bacon, frizzled onions and hash browns on toasted white bread) or the Biloxi Blue Crab Burger (Cajun burger with seasoned crab meat and blue cheese on a bun). Visit during burger month (May) for unique creations daily. You can also build your own burger with a wide variety of toppings - choose from a beef, turkey, or veggie patty. We love grabbing burgers at this hol-in-the-wall diner in New Jersey!

4. Margate Dairy Bar & Burgers, Margate City

The beef burgers are made with a mix of angus beef, short rib and brisket. They are always fresh, never frozen and hormone-free. However, what makes this spot really stand out is the mouthwatering lamb burger. Turkey and veggie burgers are also available. You can find the best cheeseburger in New Jersey here!

5. New Park Tavern, Jersey City

Jersey City offers a variety of fantastic burger joints, but New Park Tavern's burgers were voted the very best by the Jersey Journal. You can get almost anything on a burger here, including Taylor Ham. Reviewers have called it "burger heaven.” So it’s not surprising that it’s home to some of the best burgers in New Jersey!

6. Burger 25, Toms River

These Angus burgers have been awarded numerous accolades including being voted best burger on the Jersey Shore by the Asbury Park Press and best burger in New Jersey by MSN. Choose from 25 varieties, including the burger of the month, and don't miss the milkshakes for dessert. Not sure what to try first? The French Onion Soup Burger is a favorite, along with the Frisky Whiskey (Angus beef patty topped with Jack Daniels, caramelized onions, provolone cheese, Jack Daniels sauce, crispy onion straws, and bacon on an onion roll). This is a great burger restaurant in New Jersey!

7. Lil' Burgers, Nutley

These burgers are small in size and price, but big on flavor. Most burgers are under $2! Try the Wrangler Burger with BBQ sauce and topped with an onion ring. Veggie options and fish sliders are also available. Home to some of the best burgers in New Jersey, hands down.

8. Burger Town Bistro, Englishtown (permanently closed)

Choose from chicken burgers, turkey burgers, seafood burgers, veggie burgers, and a variety of beef burgers. Try the Magic Mac with mac n' cheese and bacon on Texas toast or the Flying Hawaiian with ham, swiss, pineapples, and drizzled teriyaki sauce. Chocolate lovers will enjoy the Chocolate Cake Crunch milkshake for dessert.

9. The Pour House, Westmont (Haddon Township)

This casual beer bar offers a unique selection of burgers including the Great Western (bison, BBQ sauce, onion straws, cheddar) which can't be missed. Another favorite is the Second Coming (dry-aged sirloin, chopped tomatoes, roasted garlic aioli, gruyere cheese, shoestring fries, and a pickle), voted Philly's favorite burger. Not surprisingly, they have one of the best cheeseburgers in New Jersey!
