This year, celebrate the stars and stripes the American way - with a burger, fries and your favorite brew.

The Mouth-Watering Classic
There's nothing like a perfectly cooked, classically plated burger and fries, and one of Santa Clarita's absolute must-try hamburgers is the Salt Creek Grille Creek Burger. Bursting with juices, the thick patty made up of ground short rib, chuck and brisket - grilled to order and dressed with aged white cheddar, tender bacon, tomato onion marmalade - topped with a creamy house spread and fresh arugula on a King's Hawaiian Sweet Bun. The slight sweetness of the marmalade pairs perfectly with the savory taste of the grill and all paired with Salt Creek's famous crispy garlic fries.

The Artisan Gastropub
Rustic Burger House has everything you need to celebrate the good ol' American burger and everything that goes with it. The extensive menu offers over 20 handcrafted burgers and specialty sandwiches, along with a vast selection of hot dogs and enough variations on fries to build your own fry flight. But they don't sacrifice quality for quantity. Each burger is completely original and often surprising in its flavor combinations. Plus, Rustic burgers are exclusively served with 8 ounces of Certified Harris Ranch Angus Beef. With a welcoming ambiance and family-friendly vibes, this burger house knows how to serve dinner right.

The New Kid on the Block
Santa Clarita, the wait is over! Slater's 50/50 is now open at Westfield Valencia Town Center - a momentous occasion for all who love bacon, burgers and beer. Named after its signature 50/50 beef and bacon blend patty, Slater's is famous for its Original 50/50 Burger served with pepper jack cheese, avocado, a sunny-side up egg and chipotle mayo on a brioche bun. Though it's a must-try, you're seriously missing out if you don't explore the rest of the menu - complete with its phenomenal food pairings, 13 other burger options and extensive selection of local and regional craft beers. Over-the-top milkshakes, flatbreads, salads and vegan Impossible Burger options round out the otherwise-meaty menu.

The Local Charity Burger
Santa Clarita's most guiltless burger is being served The Local way. Right now, we're all trying to find new ways to support the community we call home, but this simply delicious act of kindness has been around for a while. When you order The Local Charity Burger, 10 percent of the proceeds go toward a Santa Clarita Valley charity, which changes on rotation every month. Your community - and your tastebuds - will thank you because all Local patties are handcrafted with half a pound of beef and served with your choice of bistro fries, classic tots or a side salad.
