Best Burgers in Birmingham, UK: Smash and Halal

The best burgers in Birmingham, UK, are concentrated in Digbeth, where Original Patty Men and Hanbao trade a short walk apart, with a second cluster of halal burger kitchens on Ladypool Road in Balsall Heath. This page covers Birmingham in the West Midlands, not Birmingham, Alabama, which dominates most English searches for burgers in Birmingham.

Digbeth is the city’s burger quarter. Original Patty Men, at 9 Shaw’s Passage, builds aged-beef burgers such as the Cheezy-E. Hanbao, at 46 Floodgate Street, does double dry-aged smash patties with miso-mirin onions. Flying Cows, a street-food van that won the UK’s Best Street Burger in 2017 and 2019, often parks at Digbeth Dining Club.

Halal is the other defining thread. Flamin’ Patties minces 100% halal beef in house on Ladypool Road, and SLAMBURGER, on the same road, keeps its kitchen open until 1am. In the city centre, Bonehead on Lower Severn Street, two minutes from New Street station, publishes burgers from £12.
