The hamburger. Cheeseburger. Bacon cheeseburger. Turkey burger. Bison burger. Veggie burger. Cheeseburger Pizza. Pizza burger.
People love their burgers. Everyone has their favorite burger and their favorite burger place. Whether it’s the meat, the toppings, the bun, or the presentation…something about your favorite burger makes it unique from one place to the next. Here are some favorite places for staff to find a burger in the Cumberland Valley.
The Appalachian thru-hiker turkey burger at Appalachian Brewing Company is my favorite…it's big, juicy and tasty. It’s layered with spinach, melted gouda cheese (yum) and avocado. An added bonus, and perhaps what makes the burger, is the honey ginger mayonnaise – it is so good. I always order it on the side and ask for extra to dip my fries in. The sweet potato fries pair really nicely with it.

Flinchy’s
There are plenty of fancy and unique burger options in Cumberland Valley, but when it comes down to a basic cheeseburger, my favorite is the Flinchburger from Flinchy’s in Camp Hill. It doesn’t have a lot of frills, but it’s very tasty and satisfying. Flinchy’s is a great place to go for all your American favorites, including another favorite of mine, their crispy wings with Asian sauce.

1794 The Whiskey Rebellion
1794 Whiskey Rebellion has been open for a little over a year, but they’ve done enough to make an impression on me (and many others, as they’re ranked the #1 restaurant in Carlisle, according to Trip Advisor). While I could make a case for Appalachian Brewing Company (previously mentioned), the Molly Burger takes the top prize from me. The Molly Burger is a woodfired, 8 oz. burger topped with soft cow’s cheese, house-cut Amish bacon, kale (I don’t really do kale…so I had them hold that) on a brioche roll. If you want a little more, you can add a duck egg for $2. The burger is juicy, and the bacon is unlike most you’ll find at other restaurants. I’m always a fan of a brioche bun, and it’s done well here.
