Visit Oakland has just debuted the Burger Trail, an online guide to The Town’s best burgers. The detailed map highlights more than 20 “burger joints” specializing in the beloved American classic, with the scoop on the offerings at each spot.

Americans eat approximately 50 billion burgers, and while those made from beef remain a top favorite, there are plenty of unique proteins to choose from, as well as creative twists that pile patties high with mac & cheese, fried eggs, jalapeños, pineapple, and more.

If you’re looking for a more traditional restaurant to satisfy your burger craving, the trail includes a sidebar listing the Oakland spots with an amazing burger on their regular dining menu. Whether you love a juicy, thick patty or a crisp, thin smashburger—whether you pair your burger with fries, onion rings, salad, or slaw and wash every bite down with a shake, soda pop, or beer—you’ll find it in Oakland, the best food city in the United States.

“The Oakland Burger Trail provides the perfect opportunity to explore Oakland’s diverse, vibrant neighborhoods and enjoy our beautiful weather while tasting your way through The Town,” says Peter Gamez, president & CEO of Visit Oakland. “Bring your friends, family, and of course, your appetite, and hit the Oakland Burger Trail. You’ll be really glad you did!”
