Documented Hammond award history

Voted Best Burger 13 consecutive years

Published winner announcements document Our Mom's 10th consecutive Best Burger win in 2021, 11th in 2022, 12th in 2023 and 13th in 2024. The available original and independent records are linked below.

Separate 2025 honor: Tangi Lifestyles named Our Mom's a Best Burger winner again.

One Hammond restaurant, two names

The awards began under Your Mom's and continued under Our Mom's.

Hammond Downtown Development District's 2018 annual report independently records that in March 2018, “Your Mom's changed locations and became Our Mom's.”

The 2021 winner announcement calls that award the 10th consecutive Best Burger win, dating the streak to 2012. Because the documented name change occurred in 2018, the consecutive record indicates that the 2012–2017 wins were earned while the Hammond restaurant operated as Your Mom's.
