The Best Burgers in Loveland, Colorado
Hand-pattied, half-pound burgers built on the same beef program that's earned The Black Steer 23 straight "Best Steakhouse" awards. Steakhouse beef. Steer fries. No drive-thru in sight.
A Better Burger in Downtown Loveland
Most people know The Black Steer as Loveland's award-winning steakhouse — but ask a regular what they order on a Tuesday and you'll hear about the burgers. Every one starts with a half-pound, hand-pattied patty cut from the same beef that built a 23-year "Best Steakhouse" streak, then it's seared, stacked, and sent out with a basket of our signature Steer fries. From the Colorado-classic Buenos Burger loaded with hatch green chili to the full-pound Black Steer Burger, this is what a burger tastes like when a real chophouse kitchen makes it. No drive-thru. No frozen patties. Just the best burger in Loveland, served in the heart of downtown since 1966.
Our Burger Menu
Every burger is a half pound of hand-pattied beef on a toasted bun, served with our signature Steer fries. Here's the lineup.
Black Steer Burger
The biggest burger you've ever tackled — a full pound of beef stacked double-decker with American cheese and all the fixings. Bring an appetite. This is the burger people drive to downtown Loveland for.
Swiss Mushroom Burger
A half-pound burger piled with sautéed mushrooms and melted Swiss, finished with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle. Rich, savory, and a longtime regular favorite.
Big Bleu Burger
A half-pound burger piled with creamy blue cheese crumbles and crisp bacon, finished with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle. Sharp, smoky, and not for the faint of heart.
Open Face Burger
An open-faced half-pound burger smothered in rich brown gravy and served with our Steer fries. Comfort food the way a chophouse does it — knife-and-fork territory.

Steakhouse Beef. Burger Money.
Here's the part the chains can't copy: the same kitchen that's been turning out award-winning steaks since 1966 is the one grinding and grilling your burger. Same beef standard, same grill, same people who've made The Black Steer Loveland's #1 steakhouse for 23 years running.
That's why a half-pound burger here tastes like a steakhouse made it — because one did. Sit down, order a Buenos with green chili, get a basket of Steer fries, and find out what a real burger in Loveland is supposed to taste like.
