American Steamed Cheeseburgers

This little place may be a hole in the wall but the food is just amazing because the owner dose not use grease on any of his food. The place dose look a bit dingy but I can ensure you it is clean. Honestly when i say dingy I mean kinda dark and is just in need of some better lighting.

Quirky ambience.
Outstanding selection of artisan drinks.
Great food at reasonable prices.

Highly recommended.

A small, intensely local joint that knows how to work their steamer. Central Connecticut is known for their steamed cheeseburger oddity, but American Steamed has branched out to a variety of different steamed sandwiches to cater to a variety of tastes.

I had their double steamed cheeseburger with their cheese and spicy mustard. The protein was juicy and full of flavor, despite it being medium well from the cooking process. They also provide a healthy serving of cheese (which is a bit saltier and sharper than other steamed hamburger mainstays) that locked in the juice and the flavor. There are a few options for kaiser rolls that help soak in the flavor from the burger and copious amounts of cheese which were appreciated. brought three friends from out of state and all of them agreed that it was the best cheeseburger they've ever had.

What was surprising was the sheer amount of local sodas they had available. Foxon Park and others were represented. (Even my favorite, white birch beer.) Not Ally, I wouldn't be excited about soda, bit they even had classic Surge in their cooler.

A great addition to the town, for sure. I just wish they were closer to me and hat a bit more dining space. Otherwise, the service was fantastic and I hope to get back there again soon.

A small place with alot of flavor. The burgers are delicious and range from one to two patties, choose from free and extra cost additions. A soft bun with the cheese melted and sides like potato salad with or without onions, chips, and assorted old style sodas. Seating is limited to one breakfast style nook for 8 and two 2-4 tables. They also have other hot sandwiches which I have not tried. So if you are in search of a easy, hot, delicious go-to burger then skip McDonald's and stop here. Support your local business.

Good people. Great burgers. Nice family environment.
