  • Pickles – The perfect tangy contrast to a juicy patty.
  • Cheese (American, Cheddar, Swiss, or Pepper Jack) – A gooey, melty layer of cheese makes any burger better.

Want to take your burger to the next level? Try these premium options:

  • Bacon – Smoky, crispy, and delicious—bacon makes everything better.
  • Avocado or Guacamole – Creamy and packed with flavor, avocado adds a fresh touch.
  • Fried Egg – A runny yolk creates an extra level of richness.
  • Jalapeños or Hot Sauce – Perfect for those who love a little heat.

3. Specialty and Unique Toppings

For a one-of-a-kind burger experience, experiment with these unexpected but delicious toppings:

  • Pineapple – A touch of sweetness that pairs surprisingly well with a savory burger.
  • BBQ Sauce – Smoky, tangy, and just the right amount of sweet.
  • Coleslaw – A crunchy, creamy topping that adds texture and flavor.
