TLDR: your local burger joint Fresh hot food and delicious fries and shakes. Don't sleep on the hot dogs either. I get some California vibes with the teriyaki burger. Anyway I'd be walking to this place a lot as a local joint! read more

First time trying! This spot for dinner I got a single beef patty on a butter toasted burger roll topped with fresh lettuce, pepper jack cheese & chipotle aioli. Also got waffle fries cooked well done. Small coffee shake. The burger was delicious fresh lettuces the pepper jack cheese and the aioli sauce was together! The waffles fries tasted great not greasy light salt cooked well done as requested. The shake was good also. Was very happy with my order will be back to try more items on the menu in the future. read more

" Food is good & prices fair " The food here is good . The portion sizes generous. The price is fair for the portion size and the food is delicious. It was full however it's fully staff so the wait time was normal even though full . Small place so seating is limited. However you can eat inside or outside on the benches so no worries. It's a great spot in the neighborhood. Plenty of parking all around or accessible by the green line Newton center. Definitely come try or eat here if you're hungry it's well worth it . read more

Food was really good. The prices were reasonable especially the sides the amount of fries you get for the price is pretty nice. Cashiers are fast and friendly. Only negative thing is the dining space, if it's really busy you might not really have any room to eat in the store, but there's also plenty of benches outside. read more

This is an update to my last review "swing and a miss". Lee's has reclaimed their spot at the top. My wife and I got two new burgers tonight and they were cooked perfectly! As usual, we got an absolute mountain of fries very generously seasoned. And the milkshakes were thick and creamy. Phenomenal service and hospitality to boot read more

I went to Lee's Burgers after a friend swore they had the best burgers in town -- and honestly, they weren't kidding. I've never had so much meat in my mouth before. This burger was absolutely massive -- juicy, smoky, and stacked so high I had to strategize just to take a bite. Halfway through, I actually started gagging on the sheer amount of meat. It wasn't because it was bad -- it was because there was just that much of it. Every bite was pure flavor overload: perfectly grilled beef, melted cheese, and a bun barely holding the whole masterpiece together. The staff were super friendly and clearly take pride in what they do. It's the kind of place where you walk out both proud and slightly humbled. Would I go back? 100%. But next time, I'm bringing a friend to share the challenge. read more

Cute little shop. No seating, take out only. There website has pickup and drop off options. I have been here twice and got the double jack burger twice. What a great burger. Also, I love their onion rings. Plenty of paid parking nearby. Location is in the downtown of Newton. read more

I do not know how people waste their money with chain burger restaurants, when they have places like this. The shop was tiny with only a couple of tables, but for what it lacked in size, it definitely made up in other ways. I checked photos on Yelp before going in, and realized it was more of a grab & go than a sit down place. Glad I did, because the limited seating was full even though it was just a Monday night. The staff was very kind, with a greeting when I arrived, assuring I had everything in my to-go order, and a friendly goodbye as I left. My son and I both ordered a Double Jack and Fries. The food was packed with flavor and cooked just right - a little pink in the center on the burgers while the fries were just crisp enough. I'll go back here over and over and over. read more

Best burger in Boston hands down! Whenever I am craving a giant, the size of my face, mouth watering burger, it has to be a burger from Lee's burgers! This location is not that big but it has a few tables and stools to dine in. It's an order at the counter and if you dine in they bring you your food to the table. My bf and I were craving juicy burgers so we drove up to Lee's. It was busy Saturday night, they had a lot of pick up and orders to go but we found a table to sit and dine in. I ordered the usual which is the two patty Lee's burger and my bf got their other signature burger. The fries came out first and they were perfect! They were super crispy and thick just how I like them. Our burgers came out next and they came out nice and hot! My Lee's burger was neatly wrapped up to keep it together because it was fully loaded! My burger was packed with bacon,peppers, grilled onions, fried egg and french fries and it was amazing! It was challenging to keep it together as I enjoyed every bite but I managed to devour it just fine. It really hit the spot! read more

Come here all the time. Solid place for a burger, fries, chicken tenders or a sub. The secret sauce brings out the best in the fries. I alternate the secret sauce with ketchup with some black pepper. There are a few seats but I usually grab takeout and go sit outside. There is a nice park nearby or open green space in Newton Centre. The team is very quick and gets my food out nice and hot. read more

The burgers and especially the fries! Also your rating is to low for top 1 in Newton.

I've always driven by this place and have wanted to try it for years. I recently tried to go to the new Golden Coup chicken place only to find its a "virtual" or pop-up type of restaurant. It basically does not exist, and its a different restaurant making the food. I was disappointed and figured it would be the perfect chance to go around the corner and try Lee's. The place is pretty small, with 2 tables that fit 4, and 2 window areas that can sit 3 each. Its a typical small business with very friendly staff. The menu is easy to scan through and pick out what you want. Pricing was reasonable. We dined in. The Lee Burger was the most expensive burger on the menu and it definitely sounded like something I wanted to try! Its got two 6oz patties, egg, bacon etc. It was massive, and delicious! The waffle fries and onion rings were so very good, as they seemed to have come straight from the fryer to our table. Other items we tried were the meatball sub, teriyaki burger, grilled cheese sandwich and chicken tenders. All were decent, but not as rave worthy as their Lee burger, waffle fries and onion rings. One thing to call out is the service. The guy brought food to our table and dropped a few onion rings. He apologized and unexpectedly brought me another full order! I was really surprised and thankful, as it was so delicious. Great people work here, the place seemed clean, there is self-serve napkins, forks, condiments etc. Its a cozy little place that should be on your list in Newton Center (they also have a location in brookline). read more

Pretty good food wasn't bad I will say the onion rings weee very good. The service was ok it could have been a bit faster. The ambiance was ok it just a pretty chill spot. Overall pretty good spot might recommend. 4 stars. read more

So didn't really eat here. Had lunch elsewhere & stopped in for a milkshake. The 3 of us each had a different flavor. I had a black & white & the design w/the chocolate syrup was very cool! They r busy w/lots of takeout of burgers. If you're a meat eater, u should def try. read more

Lee's is truly the only place my husband and I consider when we're craving a burger. The Bonanza Burger is a favorite. The combo of the onion rings and banana peppers is chefs kiss and the sauce...yum! Their fries are also awesome. My husband gets regular with Cajun and I get sweet potato fries, well done, which I recommend. Also, dipping the fries in the extra sauce that comes with the Bonanza is the way to go. Wish I had a picture of the food but, as usual, it was inhaled immediately. Do not sleep on Lee's! read more

Have been going here since high school. Great burgers and always get the special sauce. read more

Lee's Burger Place - Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Newton Centre, Massachusetts

This is my favorite local burger spot. For takeout, they always have my order ready within 15 minutes. The app makes ordering super convenient, with easily customizable burger toppings and sauces, and the pickup process is quick and hassle-free. They've only messed up my order once (a cold burger with the wrong toppings), but every other visit has been absolutely delicious. The fries are my all-time favorite--thick, perfectly fried, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. They pair beautifully with the special sauce, and they are incredibly generous with giving sauces, I always end up with extra. The burger meat is perfectly grilled, juicy, and the whole thing wrapped to keep all that heavenly goodness warm. Toppings are generous, and the flavors are spot-on. The bacon cheeseburger is one my favorites ever. I also recommend the Steak Bomb, a Philly-style cheesesteak loaded with onions, mushrooms, and peppers. Highly recommend visiting. read more

Nice place in Newton center. Good hamburgers and fries. Reasonable prices. Limited seating.

Yummy! Great burgers and hotdogs . The shakes are fresh and delicious. We try to get there whenever we're in town. read more

I should've looked at pics before I paid an hour at the meter because this place is more of a grab and go. I ordered a regular cheeseburger with everything on it and my bf ordered the Philly cheesesteak. We also ordered a reg side of sweet potato fries. Honestly it was just ok but considering the price, which is considered extremely cheap especially since even McDonald's are kinda pricey nowadays. Ingredients however were all fresh like you can tell with the lettuce and tomatoes. The patty though was honestly quite dry so I kinda had to slather with ketchup to make up for it. The Philly was also just ok. Didn't taste a whole lot of anything tbh. Sweet potato fries however were amazing! They were super fresh, light and airy but so potato-y on the inside read more

Just a real gem. The world would be a far better place with a little more Lee in it. The sweet scent of fries and burgers riding Newton Centre's warm, westerly spring winds will beckon you ever closer, until you're subsumed and subsequently consume, as it was always meant to be. read more

Excellent burger for fair price. Cheeseburger and roll toasted Added cooked mushrooms. Skipped the lettuce, tomato. Mushrooms would have been a notch kick up if marinated in sweet teriyaki . Good size Patty... looked at least 1/4 or greater at 1/3 or 1/2 lb. Excellent value especially during high inflation times for food. Not sure if an add on egg option, next time . Menu says 6 Oz burger and good meat mix blend Should add a prime rib burger or sandwich... Egg add on option Fried Brussels sprouts? Fries are old school A pizza burger They keep it real and prices are driving the volume repeat customers! read more

Ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger, fries, and Rings. The cheeseburger was OK, cooked properly, with all the toppings I ordered. but altogether it was just kind of bland. Fries and rings appeared to be standard Sysco fare that you can find at every local mom and pop pizza and sandwich shop in the area. It also came with what I thought to be two little tubs of mayo, but the color was slightly off to be just mayo. It just tasted like mayo though, If it was a special sauce it needed a lot more of everything except the mayo. No real complaints, but no real reason to go back either. read more

I feel like Lee's has been around for 50 years, and maybe it has, I really have no idea. Heading home from my sons hockey game my wife and I were headed to Buffs for some wings, or at least that was our plan. Our daughter, well, she had other plans for us. So we end up at Lee's, not upset about it, but wasn't what I was planning on. The people there could not have been nicer, the food was ready in no time at all and the it tasted better than I remember. I was pleasantly surprised with all the options on the menu. We ordered a turkey burger, two cheese burgers, fries, and buffalo wings. The fries are good and they were cooked just right. I got the turkey burger with lettuce, tomato, and pickles. We got it to go so I added ketchup and Lees special sauce. I think the special sauce is just seasoned mayo, but I liked it. The turkey burger was great. The cheese burgers were cooked perfectly, juicy pink center, and my wife and daughter devoured them. I ordered wings because I had my heart set on them when I was going to buffs. When I opened the container I was concerned, they didn't look good. They weren't fully coated in buffalo sauce and they had a funny looking coating on them. I am happy to say they taste better than they look. The coating was crispy, the sauce had good flavor and the chicken was good. The wings were good. This place is a better option than any of the new burger chains. The value, taste, and options are all better at Lee's. We look forward to going back, hope to try a milkshake next time. read more

Decent. Not the best burger to be honest. The pattys not the best nor are their ingredients. Compare it to In-N-Out and it doesn't survive. That's my general standard, so this is definitely insufficient. read more

Just what I was looking for! I had planned to go to get a burger from a place in Sherborn on Marathon Monday, but it was closed! I had been thinking about a burger all weekend & was very much still craving a burger, so I decided to look for a burger place on my way home. I had seen Lee's Burger's before, but never tried it. OMG - this was amazing!! The burger was lovely, especially with grilled mushrooms! The guy that took my order was helpful answering all my questions & helping me decide what to order. I saw some sweet potato fries as I walked in the door & they did not disappoint (I even took 1/2 of the small order home because there were so many & they reheated nicely in my air fryer!). I topped it off with a chocolate Oreo shake & WOW! It has a very limited seating area, but I was by myself, so it was fine. I even met the family at the table next to mine that were celebrating their daughter's marathon run! Great place & I will be back! read more

Best burger in the Boston area. Fresh, hot, minimally greasy and super flavorful. I always get a basic burger with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles and am never disappointed. The fries are excellent, too. Fun and welcoming counter help. Dining in is cozy but fun as the crowd is diverse and friendly. read more

We ordered delivery through GrubHub and got our food within half an hour. We got the Beantown burger, teriyaki burger, b-on burger, regular fries, and sweet potato fries. The burgers were good, I really enjoyed the chili on the Beantown burger even though it made the buns a little soggy. The b-on burger had more of a bean taste, which you can definitely tell it was a bit different, but still pretty good. I didn't use the wrapper to eat my burger, which I definitely should of because I could not get that burger smell off even after multiple hand washes. The portions of burgers are great and filling, but there is always room for fries. I recommend just getting regular fries because they're crunchier than sweet potato fries. read more

Delicious!! Yummy burgers and sweet potato fries. Great prices. It ordered online and when I went to pick it up it was ready on time and piping hot. It's a very small hole in the wall place with zero ambiance . You don't want to sit there (they only have one table) but you definitely want to order from there. read more

BURGER SCORE: 8.5 It's all good here way up there in quality and taste very afordable as well. Lee's is now one of my favorite go to burger places. I finally was able to eat at Lee's, And it didn't disappoint. Order from Lee's at Chownow.com and had it delivered. The food came in less time than they told me, It was fast & hot. The delivery guy was very nice. For about $40 we ordered 3 Big Cheeseburgers, 3 Fries, & 3 Drinks plus tax,tip, & delivery fee. Priced right or better for the area. $5.95 for Cheeseburgers & $2.75 for LG Fries, Very Nice. I will definitely be touring this menu a lot more. There is so much to try here. Lee's so far has the Best Burger in the Newton area. It edges out 5 guys cause it's $3 cheaper for roughly the same burger. If your in Newton and want a good burger and value Eat Here. read more

Really cheap and amazing burgers, just about 10$ for burger and fries. Service is good and fast, not much seating though.

Today, I thought I was going to be a little healthy, while also trying to satiate my need for deep fried goods, instead of opting for a burger, or a cheesesteak like my stomach told me to, I got a caesar with fried chicken tendie. Nothing wrong with the salad, but its 100% an afterthought for people like me who thought "maybe I should eat a salad today" so its on their menu. But make no mistake, it exists as an ingredient for other foods, so it functions as a salad, sure. But as a meal? it makes me sad. And at the price point, it feels like a punishment for foolishly avoiding the rest of their menu. Cue the chilli cheese fries I got with it cuz yanno, better devils and all that. Perfect size, crispiness, chilli and cheese with that consistency that makes you think with the first bite "imma need a nap". Cheesesteaks are super fuego, when you have that happy medely of thinly sliced steak cooked to perfection in a deliciously fresh tasting roll, with cheese binding it into this new element on the periodic table. It's friggen glorious. Anyway, don't get the salad. read more

I love Lee's Burgers! The burgers are delicious! The food is fresh and the ingredients are high quality. For the Californians out on the East Coast, it reminds me of the original Fatburger before they got too commercialized. We are so glad we gave it a try! Now this will be our go to place for cheeseburgers instead of Five Guys or Shake Shack. read more

Delicious local food. We decided to try Lee's because of the great reviews. The staff was very friendly and my huge turkey burger with avocado and mushrooms was awesome. The sweet potato fries were also good but needed salt. A small is a huge portion and more than than I could finish. We could have shared those. My husband had 2 chili dogs which were also delicious. We would have liked a more spacious seating area since as we tried to eat people in line were standing over us as we ate. This is certainly more of a grab and go place to order. Overall it was a experience. read more

Ate here after a football game. Solid food and good for the money. I wish we had a better idea on portion sizes though, two of us could have easily split a sub and a regular fry and spent $13 instead of $23. Highly recommend the chicken teriyaki sub. read more
