Mussel & Burger Bar

Mussel & Burger Bar puts burgers and mussels on equal footing, and its burger menu runs well beyond the basics. The Argentinian comes with provolone, caramelized onions, chorizo, chimichurri, greens and roasted tomatoes, and there are lamb, crab, chorizo and veggie options alongside beef.

The downtown location on South 7th Street is handy for visitors staying near the convention center and Whiskey Row, and there is a second restaurant on Taylorsville Road in the East End. Both rank among the area's highest-rated burger restaurants.
