May is National Burger Month—ready to dig in? We’ve got the info on five meaty spots to grab a seat and let your inner carnivore take over:
Avenue Kitchen
Traditional? Yes. Ordinary? Far from it. The Avenue Burger is 100% grass-fed prime beef smothered in aged cheddar and caramelized onions, sandwiched on a fluffy brioche roll.

Lancaster Ave., Villanova, (610) 525-3950; 509 Wilmington West Chester Pike, Glen Mills (484) 800-8070
Azie on Main
Villanova’s Azie on Main is adding an Asian flair to National Burger month with its succulent Kobe burger, stacked high with onion rings and slathered with wasabi mayo on a brioche roll. Don’t forget the side of truffle fries! 789 E. Lancaster Ave., Villanova; phone: (610) 527-5700
