Where to get Big Zaddy's smash burgers in Roanoke (inside Oak Street Food & Brew), plus Burger Broz and Outlaw Burgers & BBQ — the three worth the drive.
Old Town Roanoke is famous for food, and the burgers deserve their own moment. Three across the stretch.
The shortlist
Big Zaddy’s Burger Co.. Right on the Oak Street strip, operating as a stall inside Oak Street Food & Brew. Modern Texas comfort food and handcrafted smashburgers with real personality.
Burger Broz. The Roanoke classic off Byron Nelson. Double-ground Certified Angus chuck, ground in house, with fries and onion rings cooked in beef tallow. The double smash is the order.
Outlaw Burgers & BBQ. A short drive out to downtown Justin for a burger-and-BBQ combo that over-delivers. Hand-formed patties, Texas sides, no nonsense — you mark it in your phone the second you leave.
Save this before your next Oak Street night.
