ABOUT US
SMASHED RIGHT. SERVED FRESH.
Where history meets craft, and award-winning culinary expertise meets honest American burgers.
WHERE HISTORY MEETS CRAFT
Nestled in historic Mullica Hill's Old Mill – a pre-Revolutionary War grist mill that has stood for centuries – Red Barn Burgers carries forward a tradition of craftsmanship that spans generations.
For centuries, this historic building ground grain into flour. Today, we honor that legacy by grinding fresh beef daily, continuing the tradition of transforming raw ingredients into something extraordinary through skill, care, and dedication.
The connection is more than symbolic – it's a continuation of the craft. Where once grain was ground with precision, we now hand-form our patties. Where once flour was milled fresh, we now smash burgers fresh to order. The Old Mill's history of quality and craftsmanship lives on in every burger we serve.
THE STORY BEHIND THE BURGERS
Behind every burger at Red Barn Burgers is 25+ years of culinary excellence – from fine dining kitchens to neighborhood favorites.
Our chef brings experience from Union Square Cafe in NYC and Stephen Starr restaurants in Philadelphia – establishments known for their uncompromising standards. Trained at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), our approach combines classical technique with a passion for perfecting the classics.
Philly Burger Brawl Winner
First place winner against Philadelphia's best chefs – proof that great burgers come from premium ingredients and proper technique, not gimmicks.
Our philosophy is simple: great burgers = premium ingredients + proper technique. We've applied everything we learned in fine dining to perfect the classic American burger – because sometimes the simplest things require the most skill.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
THE DOUBLE-SMASH TECHNIQUE
Two 3oz patties, smashed thin on a screaming-hot griddle. This creates crispy, caramelized edges through the Maillard reaction – where science meets delicious. More surface area means more flavor, more texture, and the perfect burger experience.
MARTIN'S POTATO ROLLS
Soft, slightly sweet buns trusted by America's best burger joints. Toasted golden, they hold up to our juicy patties without falling apart – the perfect foundation for every burger.
HOUSE-MADE EVERYTHING
Signature Barn Sauce
Our secret recipe, made fresh daily
Hand-Spun Milkshakes

Fresh-Cut Chips

Apple Cider Donuts

No shortcuts. No compromises. Just real food made with care.
ALL-AMERICAN HEREFORD CATTLE BEEF
Heritage breed perfected since the 1700s. Hereford cattle are known for their distinctive red coats and white faces, but more importantly, for their superior marbling, rich flavor, and exceptional tenderness.
Hereford beef is naturally juicy despite being leaner, with scientific backing for its tenderness and flavor profile. This makes it perfect for our smash technique – the quality of the beef shines through in every bite.
It's not just beef – it's heritage, quality, and flavor that you can taste.

Always here when you need us
Whether you're exploring Mullica Hill's antique shops or looking for the perfect burger, we're your destination for quality, history, and flavor.
OUR MENU PHILOSOPHY
Simple done right = extraordinary.
We don't need 50 burger options or trendy ingredients. We have 5 signature burgers, each with a specific flavor profile crafted to perfection. A crispy chicken sandwich. Fresh-cut fries and hand-spun shakes.
No gimmicks. No trends. Just double-smashed burgers made with premium ingredients, cooked with technique, and served with care.
When you focus on doing a few things exceptionally well, every bite becomes memorable. That's our promise.
FROM OUR KITCHEN TO YOUR TABLE
With 25+ years of culinary experience spanning from fine dining to neighborhood favorites, we've brought our craft to honest, straightforward burgers.
Our team has cooked at the James Beard House, earned spots on "Best Of" lists across multiple cities, and won awards for our burgers. But what we're most proud of is bringing that same level of care and technique to every burger we serve.
We're part of an award-winning culinary team behind concepts across Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania – recognized by Delaware Live, Blue Jean Food, and Only In Your State.
Red Barn Burgers is more than a restaurant. It's where history, hospitality, and hunger meet – and where every burger tells our story.
