10 Great Spots to Grab a Burger in Show Low

Dying to sink your teeth into a first-rate juicy cheeseburger? There’s nothing like finding the best restaurants in and around Show Low, Arizona to indulge your burger craving. We have a few suggestions to get you started. Our own Torreon Grille tops the list, but we’ve got several other local favorites to savor.

1. Torreon Grille: Overlooking the 18^th green of the Tower course at Torreon, the Grille offers more than just amazing food and views. Open to the public, this top-rated Arizona restaurant just launched their new menu with Executive Chef Eric Rippey. The Torreon Burger is quickly becoming a White Mountain culinary favorite with three seasonal cheeses, plus LTO and the option to add green chili, or our favorite – balsamic glazed wild mushrooms. Normally served on a Ciabatta, it also comes with a gluten free option. Hours vary by season, check the website for times. Reservations are recommended 928-532-8000.

2. Buffalo Bill's Tavern & Grill: This spot is famous for its buffalo burgers and offers a variety of other tasty burgers in an atmosphere of authentic western memorabilia. Owner Gary Martinson loves bison collectibles, so in 1999, he bought the Buffalo Museum of America from an Arizona family and added the museum’s collection to the one he already had. The current museum and restaurant were built in 2023 and both are enjoyed by customers.
   
   The restaurant’s bread is baked locally at Baked bakery in Pinetop. Enjoy the tasty pizzas, sandwiches, salads and chicken wings. Bill’s also offers yummy filet, ribeye and salmon cooked on the grill. Don’t miss it.
   
   Location: 400 N. Clark Rd., Show Low, about 2 miles from Torreon.
   

3. The House: Known for its craft burgers and gourmet ingredients, this restaurant focuses on high-quality and unique burger experiences. We like the Show Low burger, made with ground pork, ham and pepper jack cheese. Lots of other menu selections, including sandwiches and homemade desserts. It’s a fun experience and visitors can enjoy corn-hole, fire-pits, and live music in the restaurant’s backyard.
