My inner designer supports hamburger menu because they can be designed soooo pretty - just look at all the dribbble shots *(actually don't look at dribbble for UX related matters)*. But, unfortunately, it doesn't work for the user that good!

#It's not discoverable  
Not only many users don't recognize the hamburger, it also slows down the task completion process.  

Here are just a couple of articles relating to your question:  https://www.nngroup.com/articles/mobile-navigation-patterns/  
https://www.nngroup.com/articles/hamburger-menus/  
But there are literally thousands of articles supporting this claim.

#It's hard to reach
Hamburger menu is usually located on the upper left-hand side, but only 10% of the world population is left-handed (according to Wiki). And as the screens gets bigger, it's getting a lot harder to reach that part of the screen. Which, again, slows down the task completion time.
