Roswell’s food scene is way more than pretty patios and brunch—locals are seriously opinionated about where to get a great burger.
These five spots come up constantly in Roswell burger debates.
1. Stockyard Burgers & Bones
Right in downtown Roswell, Stockyard feels like a modern, slightly upscale burger and bourbon joint.
Dark wood, a long bar, and a menu that makes it very hard to choose just one burger.
The patties are thick and juicy, cooked to order, with plenty of char from the grill. Their standard cheeseburger is already excellent, but the specialty builds are where locals really get excited—think burgers layered with thick‑cut bacon, sharp cheddar, caramelized onions, and house sauces on toasted brioche.
The fries are crisp, the onion rings are massive, and the bourbon list is deep enough to turn a quick burger stop into a full evening.
2. C&S Chowder House (Roswell)
C&S is known first for seafood, but regulars know the burger is a sleeper hit. In a polished, coastal‑brasserie setting, their burger feels almost like a steakhouse dish.
You usually get a thick, ground‑in‑house patty, cooked medium or medium‑rare, topped with quality cheese, lettuce, tomato, and tangy sauce on a soft bun that soaks up all the juices without falling apart.
Pair it with a martini or a glass of red instead of a beer and it feels like a splurge‑night burger without being fussy.
3. Houck’s Grille
Houck’s is a neighborhood sports‑bar‑meets‑family‑restaurant, and the burger menu reads like they’ve been testing what works for years.
It’s casual, loud, and exactly the kind of place where a big burger just makes sense.
Their signature burgers tend to be stacked: bacon, sautéed mushrooms, jalapeños, pepper jack, house barbecue sauce, and more.
The patties are juicy and generously sized, and they don’t skimp on toppings. Many locals will tell you to add a side of tater tots or sweet potato fries and settle in for the game.
4. Moxie Burger (Roswell location)
Moxie feels like a modern neighborhood burger café: bright, family‑friendly, and very focused on good ingredients and fun builds.
You can go classic with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and “Moxie sauce,” or lean into more adventurous options with fried eggs, avocado, blue cheese, onion straws, and spicy sauces.
The beef is flavorful and well‑seasoned, the buns are soft and lightly toasted, and there are solid turkey, veggie, and chicken options if someone in your group isn’t craving beef.
5. From the Earth Brewing Company
Part brewery, part restaurant, From the Earth is a Roswell favorite for craft beer and elevated pub food, and the burger is one of the standout dishes.
The house burger usually features a thick patty made from quality beef, melted cheese, house pickles, and a special sauce on a toasted bun.
The toppings tend to be chef‑y but not overcomplicated, and everything is clearly designed to pair with whatever IPA or lager is on tap. It feels like a legit “gastropub burger” without slipping into pretension.
