Auburn, Maine

&

2514 Turner Rd (Route 4)
Auburn, Maine
207-782-2801

Roy’s All Steak Hamburgers was founded by Mike and Jeannine Roy and has proudly been serving up fresh cut and ground all steak hamburgers since 1982. Mike grew up the son of a local grocer and butcher, who taught him the art of cutting beef, and passed along his trade secrets of which cuts make the perfect burger. Mike, Jeannine, and their two sons worked together to make Roy’s a known destination for the best burgers in town. Today, the Roy family has two locations. One, located on Washington Street in Auburn offering a large, diner-style restaurant setting and the other on Route 4 which has a newly renovated golf center and batting cages. The beef is cut daily, making sure that only the best pieces make the cut, then grinding and pattying it in a hand operated patty press to insure that the beef stays tender and is not overworked, which is key to making their melt in your mouth Roy’s burger. Their family dream of offering people a great way to spend time with their family while serving up delicious burgers at a reasonable price is now a reality and an iconic staple of Lewiston/Auburn.
