Where to Grab a Great Cheeseburger on National Cheeseburger Day
Every year, September 18 is marked as National Cheeseburger Day, and while some food holidays may feel a little made up, this one is an easy excuse to indulge in a favorite comfort food. After all, few things are as satisfying as a juicy cheeseburger, perfectly paired with fries, onion rings, or even a milkshake. To make the celebration a little easier, five Hamilton-area spots have been highlighted where great cheeseburgers can be enjoyed.
Let’s start with Rosie’s . Originally opened in Mississauga back in 2020 by brothers Daniel and Dustin Gelman, this place has now made its way to Concession Street in Hamilton. The name Rosie’s comes from their grandmother, and the restaurant itself carries that retro diner vibe that feels warm and familiar. The menu is intentionally simple—burgers, fries, onion rings, and shakes. Their star item is “The Rosie,” a smashburger that can be stacked with one or two patties, layered with cheese, pickles, lettuce, and Rosie’s own special sauce. For those with a sweet tooth, desserts like chocolate chip cookies and banana pudding round out the offerings.

Next up is Goldie’s , which landed on James Street South in 2023. The owner is no stranger to Hamilton’s food scene—he was one of the original founders of Cowabunga Pizzeria, known for award-winning slices. With Goldie’s, he turned his attention to burgers, serving them in a setting styled after a 1950s diner. Goldie’s is all about affordable but high-quality fast food, and while the cheeseburgers are the main attraction, the menu also features chicken sandwiches, chili cheese fries, and desserts like brownies and sundaes. There’s even a kid’s menu with nuggets and grilled cheese sandwiches.
Real Burger in Waterdown has built its name on being family-owned and independent. What sets this place apart is its inclusivity—alongside beef burgers, it offers plant-based options like Beyond Meat or a black bean and sweet potato burger. Deals are featured midweek, including a popular Tuesday special where two burgers and drinks are bundled together. Beyond burgers, items like hot dogs and flat iron steaks can also be found on the menu, making this spot versatile for different appetites.
For those looking for a well-known chain with deep roots, Triple O’s has a story that goes all the way back to Vancouver in 1918. Its Dundas location offers a wide range of options, from bacon cheeseburgers and chipotle burgers to breakfast wraps and lettuce wraps. Poutines, onion rings, and classic milkshakes are also part of the lineup, making it a one-stop shop for both classic cravings and modern twists.
Finally, there’s Pinks Burgers , located near McMaster on Main Street West. Pinks has been around for over a decade, serving a combination of burgers and gyros, each customizable with toppings like grilled onions, jalapeños, or ranch sauce. To wash it all down, milkshakes are a popular choice, but a beer can also be ordered for those looking to relax.
So, whether a classic smashburger, a retro diner experience, or a veggie-friendly option is preferred, Hamilton has more than enough choices to make National Cheeseburger Day worth celebrating.
