Five restaurants in four Alabama cities have been voted as serving one of the best burgers in Alabama through an online contest hosted by the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association. The contest, titled “Alabama’s Best Burger”, drew more than 800 voters. After counting the ballots cast from July through September, the five top vote-getters were announced yesterday on the Facebook page of the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association.
“We have really been overwhelmed with the response this contest has drawn. People love beef and they love hamburgers,” says Erin Beasley, Consumer Marketing Director for the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association.
Over the course of the next month, judges will visit each of the five finalists to sample their wares and crown the champion restaurant in the “Alabama’s Best Burger” contest. The finalists include:
- Callaghan’s Irish Pub, Mobile
- The Stockyard Grill, Montgomery
- Hamburger King, Montgomery
- Rattlesnake Saloon, Tuscumbia
- Mugshots, Tuscaloosa

The “Alabama’s Best Burger” contest is part of a larger effort to celebrate October as Beef Month in Alabama. Following a proclamation signed by Governor Robert Bentley designating it as such, the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association will ramp up its beef promotion efforts to put America’s #1 protein in front of consumers in a variety of ways.
“From the Rick & Bubba Show to tailgate promotions at the University of Alabama and Auburn University, we’re putting beef front and center with consumers during the month of October. We want folks to know that beef is wholesome and nutritious, and it’s the product of hard working cattlemen right here in Alabama,” says Beasley.
