MonikaJSnider/Trip Advisor
The Harbor Bar & Grill/Facebook Harbor Grill is known for their 12 oz burger, which they claim is the world’s greatest burger and we wouldn’t dare to disagree. If the 12 oz burger is too big for you, don’t worry, they have an 8oz version which is every bit as delicious as it’s big brother.

- Westbank Grill

It’s hard to think of burgers without their best friend, the hot dog. For a one of a kind hot dog, you have to head over to Dat Dog, where they’re taking hot dogs to new levels.
