This place is amazing! We are just passing through, but this place would be worth coming back to. Hole in the wall, dodgy neighbors, but once you are inside it is cute and clean and the food is awesome!! Single burger could feed 2 comfortably – and it all tastes REAL. Best burger we’ve had in 10 years

5 stars across the board! Staff is awesome, friendly and welcoming. We beat the noon rush and loved the food. Great selection of soft drinks too! Highly recommend!

They make the best chicken nuggets i have ever had in my life! They were crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. I actually called my mother to tell her how incredible they were. We are a chicken tender, chicken cutlet, chicken loving family all the way back to Sicily. In the realm of chicken nuggets no one has anything on this little gem of a restaurant
My husband had the steak and cheese smothered in caramelized onions. We shared the tater tots and I had to have a bite of one of their famous burgers too. The patty is tender, flavorful and unique. The cheese is real Wisconsin white cheddar and lots of it! I thought they mixed up the order because steamed real cheese looks like scrambled eggs. But no, it was heaps of tender cheesy goodness. He loved his steak and cheese sandwich too.This place is a 10 out of 10, no notes. The staff were polite and the service was fast ♀️ I want to tell the world I am a chef and my inner child just had the best chickie nuggies ever!

Ok, so … this is gonna take a while. 🙂
Have been wanting to visit K LaMay’s since last year, when I was returning home from an event mid-afternoon on a Sunday, and when I got there they had just closed. Fair play, closing early on Sunday is cool. Family time, you know? Took me almost a year to make it happen but yesterday I did and OH HECK YES it was WORTH THE WAIT.
I’ve eaten many, many, MANY burgers … as my reviews will attest. I’ve never had a STEAMED burger, and didn’t even know they were a thing until I googled. Holy cow. A true Connecticut delicacy. The Wikipedia entry tells you all you need to know. Look it up!
For this meal, I of course got the double burger, with bacon and extra cheese. Added fries and of course a diet soda, because, you know, sugar is bad.
Service was fast, my food arrived in minutes, and the waitress smiled when she put the massive burger in front of me and said “good luck!” as if … well … I might have some trouble EATING it all?
Hahahahha … nope.
Anyway, the burger … STEAMING refers not only to the method of cooking but it’s approximate temperature DOWN TO THE LAST BITE. Yes, steaming as in steaming HOT! I’ve never had a burger patty that hot down to the last bite. Wild!
The patties themselves were flavorful and so juicy. But not so juicy that your fingers were covered in grease. Aha! The STEAMING cooks the beef and removes much of the grease, apparently, leaving the meat moist and tender. Interesting!
The cheese … well, they said genuine Wisconsin Sharp Cheddar and they were NOT kidding. LOOK AT THOSE CURDS! My burger came with a knife and fork (first time for THAT) and the utensils were actually of use scooping up the generous excess cheese that had fallen OFF the burger, haha!
The cheese was different, not gonna lie, not what I am used to, but, I’ve yet to meet a cheese I didn’t like, so it was still awesome. The sharpness of the cheddar complemented the burger nicely.
The bun … was perfect. Not overpowering at all in size or texture, just enough to keep the patties under control while I devoured them.
The fries were terrific, also HOT, as in, THEY JUST MADE THEM hot, and I actually had to wait before eating them. Ha!
The place itself is not just clean, it’s IMMACULATE. The decor is nice and there’s a TV and stuff, not that I was able to watch it, I was too busy CHOWING DOWN. The bathroom was also spotless. Love this attention to detail.
So, there you have it. My first-ever steamed cheeseburger experience was a great one, and you can be sure, I’LL BE BACK!

The food was bad. I could not eat it, but I tried. The fries were hard, and the cheese was so salty and not melted. The burger was also too salty and the cheese was not good, way too much which I normally like but this was not it. No ketchup in the bag so had to go back. Overall just not very good..

We went in to order and the Maloney football team had just made their way inside. Knowing it would be crazy we put our orders in and waited because it’s always been worth the wait. They were SLAMMMED and all employees handled the rush like rock stars. We got our take out order and the owner felt bad because of the long wait they went out of their way to comp the meals completely to our surprise. Fantastic food, fantastic new owners, can’t wait to return. Thank you!

K Lamay’s Steamed Cheeseburgers is a must-visit if you’re anywhere near Meriden! I got the steamed cheeseburger and fries, and everything was spot on. The burger was incredibly juicy and loaded with rich, melty aged Wisconsin sharp cheddar cheese that took it to another level—unlike anything you get from a regular burger joint. You can really taste the difference in quality.
The fries were hot, crispy, and perfectly seasoned—great on their own or paired with the burger. Service was quick, and the staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.
If you’re looking for a unique and delicious burger, this is the place. Five stars all the way!

Excellent quick lunch stop. Kid: Burger was really good and the bacon was amazing. Dad: friendly staff, really good cheese on the burger. Mom: Burgers were delicious and did NOT create a mess in the car since we ate on the road. Clean bathrooms, kind staff.

My first experience with steamed cheeseburgers unfortunately was from the other guys? years and years ago. I loved them, and thought how can anyone make a better one. Thank God my sister forced me to try K LaMays!! Hands down the #1 steamed cheeseburger in Meriden!! Also the chicken nuggets, tots and onion rings are just an added bonus!! I have been going there for years and the first time I tried them was the last time I thought about “the other place” hand down the best!!!
