I haven't had a great burger in Syracuse in awhile. For a sit-down meal, you can get a very good burger at Oh My Darling downtown. That's the best thing on my radar in the last year.

For more casual options, this is a good list:

I always have liked what I've ordered at Village Burger. They grind the meat in-house, the rolls are fresh, and my medium-rare always shows up as ordered. I do see that reviews online are mixed, so either these people caught them on an off day or these people have poor taste.

Ale 'n Angus, same deal. Consistent quality.

Blarney's a cut below, but the burger is practically free so it's the winner on value. I recommend it. (I think they're still cash-only, though.)

I'd add two casual pubs with burgers more or less this level of quality: Shifty's in Eastwood and Golden Spike in East Syracuse. Can't go wrong with either choice. They're both regulars bars, but pretty welcoming.

If you're in town for the alumni tournament at OCC, you can get decent burgers up that way either at Kelly's on Onondaga Hill or at The Cider Mill. Not "great" but solid.

If this helps put my tastes into context, the best burger I've had in Pittsburgh (my in-laws live in Western PA and I like burgers, so I've got some experience here) is at Tessaro's. Eleven in the Strip District is a close runner-up.
