Just about everyone loves hamburgers in one form or another, and that's why the popular food gets the entire month of May designated as National Hamburger Month. They're amazingly versatile, ranging from traditional ground beef, chuck, or other meat to black bean vegetarian options. Toppings are also nearly endless, so you can customize your burger the way you like.
Our real estate agents suggest trying the following National Hamburger Month destinations in Harrisburg, PA.

If you'd like the taste of a burger cooked on your backyard grill—only better and without any effort on your part—stop by The Jackson House. A Harrisburg landmark within walking distance of the state capitol building, the small sandwich and burger shop serves half-pound burgers hand-patted and made from steer meat before being char-grilled over an open flame.
