Awesome!! I had the poblano burger, wifey had the atomic burger and my son had the mushroom burger. My daughter only had fries. All were deelish. The meat was well seasoned and moist, the homemade bun was soft and yeasty, and the cheese was on point. The roasted poblano peppers were a nice touch. Not much heat, but I got them for flavor. No lettuce and tomato is the way to go. The fries were hot and crispy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth creamy on the inside. We also had the AB sauce and sriracha mayo sauces for dipping. The AB sauce had more depth, though. Now the last time I was here the fries were weak and nothing to write home about, so I'm glad they were good today. The burgers and fries were as good as Company Burger tonight. Mmmm. Now the shake game was off point. My son had a strawberry shake, I had wedding cake and my daughter had plain vanilla. The wedding cake didn't have nearly enough almond flavoring as it needed. It was weak and tasted more like a glorified soft serve dish. I like soft serve, but I don't go around paying $5.48 (with tax) for it. My son also said his strawberry was weak. Maybe they just didn't put enough flavoring. My daughter said her vanilla shake was good, but I'm a bit suspicious of her 11-year-old palate sometimes. It was good overall. read more

Indoor dining has returned to Atomic Burger after about a year. I came to Atomic Burger after maybe about a 3-5 year drought from the place. For some reason, I remembered them for having high prices when really, that's not the case at all. My slider trio meal, fries, drink + fiancee's burger, fry, and drink only came up to about $22. That's cheaper than other options like Mooyah and Five Guys. As for the food itself, it's pretty good. Is it the best burger I've ever had? No. But it was worth the price. I had the Jamburger, Green Chile burger, and Atomic burger slider trio. All 3 were good with the green chile being my favorite. That jamburger packs a bit of a punch! I did not have any shakes, and am sad to see they don't utilize their high tech shake machine anymore which was suppose to be one of their gimmicks, so I'll have to come back and see how the shakes are because they hype their shakes a lot. All in all, I enjoyed myself at Atomic. The staff was good and nice. I also vlogged my experience here as I continue my quest for the best burger in New Orleans!

So we did get some sticker shock rolling up the speaker to order. I had no idea the burgers/combos here were so pricey but I have to say, after biting into my jamburger (you read that right) and tasting their fresh cut French fries with truffle aioli (!!!!) I was hooked. This could definitely be a once in a while splurge; $28 for two burger combos was a little much. Everything was being made fresh to order which I always appreciate but that did make the drive-thru experience a little slow. It was a solid meal and I'd get it again next time I'm shopping on that side of Vets. read more

YUM YUM YUM! Support local and grab this burger/chicken sammie from Atomic Burger! They offer boxes of sliders too which is enough for me. I love the chicken sandwich!! And their sauces are amazing! The fries are so good too. They are like duck fat fries. The grease doesn't even spread on the bag which means there isn't much!! I can't wait to go back and try more items like the bacon jam and different versions of the burger!! read more

The atomic burger slider is delicious. I see why it's their namesake. Why mess with perfection? The bacon jam slider was unpleasant. I didn't like the flavor of it oddly enough (cause bacon is wonderful). I ended up inhaling the bacon jam slider so I could savor the atomic burger slider a bit more. The hand cut fries are wonderful. Salted perfectly. I had a full sized atomic burger and a milkshake on a subsequent visit. Burger tasty as expected. Shake was a bit too sweet for my liking. Overall it'll definitely be a place I'll look forward to visiting in the future read more

Atomic Burger - Atomic burger slider, bacon jam slider, fries - Fast Food Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

This is now my new favorite burger joint. Their meats are ground in house daily! They offer different sauces such as garlic mayo and AB sauce. The burgers were juicy and taste so good. We order the atomic burger and some sliders. One of the opt for sliders was the jamburger. It had bacon and onion jam on it and that's where I feel in love lol. So yummy! Fries are fresh hand cut. I'll definitely be back for and to try out their shakes!! The restaurant looks like a chain place but it's actually locally own with another location in Baton Rouge. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my burger! This is a really nice fast-food spot for burgers. I'm definitely not a McDonalds or Burger King type of girl, so I am glad this place exists. It's almost like the faster version of Five Guys although Five Guys' burgers are a bit better. My fries were a little on the greasy side and "choppy." It was almost as if I got the last of the fries in the pack. LOL. Nonetheless, I could tell that they are normally tasty. Oh, and the pickles....yuck. But, they are easy to take off, so the burger did not lose any value there. read more

Super solid Burger joint! We ended up here after failing to find parking around the quarter lol. This Burger was awesome. Very well seasoned and a great size. The fries were hot and fresh hand cut. There's 5 or 6 sauces to choose from as well. This is one of the best restaurant burgers I've had in a while. read more

Atomic Burger - Atomic Burger Combo - Fast Food Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

One of my favorite chain burger joints. Food can get a little pricey, but in my opinion still worth it for the quality of the burgers. I typically grab the signature Atomic Burger and it is always fresh, hot and delicious. Not a huge fan of their fries so i skip out on those. Shakes are super delicious, especially the cookies and cream flavor but the whole "using nitro to make the shake" thing is totally gimmicky and simply adds to the pricetag, LOL. If you're in Metairie looking for a solid burger, you may enjoy! read more

Just had the worst experience there. Person taking my order was so rude and just decided to have an attitude and then stopped taking my order and forced me to drive through without ordering food. Decided to go down the street to a different establishment with good customer service and way less attitude. read more

Love love love their shakes! I've only had the King Cake Mardi Gras one (seasonal), but it was a perfect drinkable texture -- I didn't have to wait forever for it to melt like at some other places. They use high quality ingredients and liquid nitrogen to make their shakes ($5, not bad right!?). Burgers -- can't go wrong with the classic Atomic burger, but I also really enjoy the mushroom swiss. The caramelized onions add the perfect touch! If you have trouble deciding, you can get a few burgers in slider form. Pro-tip: if you check in on Yelp, you get a free slider! Fries are fresh and crispy. Each order comes with a sauce, and if you want to try other sauces, you pay an additional 50 cents. Options include truffle or sriracha mayo, garlic aioli, and spicy ketchup. My favorite has been the garlic aioli so far -- I use my fries to spread it on my burger too, yum!! If you feel too guilty grabbing burgers, fries, AND a shake, you can always swap out for some healthier options they offer, like edamame and a turkey or vegetarian burger. Not sure if lettuce wrap instead of bread is an option here... but their buns are so wonderful soft and delicious, you don't want to miss out! read more

Omg! I'm currently drinking a cookies and cream with Nutella milkshake and it's the most delicious drink ever. Also!! If you check in on yelp, you may get a free slider!! Which I just did and am so excited about!! Yaya! Free food for checking in to atomic burger! And they're delicious! Everyone's soooo nice here too! Great customer service. Wait....update....the cheeseburger slider like melts in your mouth. It's a little bit of heaven. My goodness! read more

I mean... it's fine. Food is good but it's hella $$$ for what it is. The restaurant was gross. Oily fingerprint covered touch screen to order. No one takes your order (but then they want you to tip?) cmon big corp! Pay your workers a living wage! read more

Explosive Prices and Flavor This is a unique burger place. Prices like an upscale sit down restaurant and food quality to match. I ordered the combo meal with a milk shake and fries. The burger I chose was the Jamburger, named after the special bacon and onion sweet sauce on it. It was delicious. I particularly liked the fries which have the potato skins on them and are fried crispy on outside meaty inside. The milk shakes are famous, as they use liquid nitrogen to freeze them and use high quality ice cream, not fast-food dispensed from a mixer machine. The burger is nice sized with meat that extends beyond the bun. Its was a great experience. read more

Atomic Burger - Jamburger combo with fries and shake - Fast Food Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

It was pretty empty when we walked in on a Sunday night, but the food was delicious. We ordered burgers and fries with shakes. The burgers and fries were some of my favorites I've ever had; it surpassed any other fast food burger joint. We were excited for the liquid nitrogen milkshakes, but were disappointed with the lack of pizazz it had. It didn't taste like anything special. I would definitely go back for another burger and fry run as my first choice establishment. read more

No idea why this place is not packed & a line outside. The Green Chile Burger is my favorite but I get the sliders so I can eat a few others. The fries are super crispy outside and tender inside, perfect in my opinion. The shakes are delicious as well. I suggest getting a few sliders so you can try a few different burgers since they are all unique if you are new to Atomic. read more

Great burgers! Fast service. The food has never disappointed. If you're looking for a burger with good quality and creative shakes, this is a great place for you to try. I appreciate that their products are different- despite being another fast food restaurant. read more

The milkshake was excellent but I ordered all my sliders with no mayo and they were all covered in mayo so I was unable to eat them.

Delicious burgers-- smash burger style but honestly Better flavor. Loved the variety of sauces available. Garlic aioli was my favorite. Filling, freshly made and fast service. Drive thru is kind of dark but overall definitely a place we will revisit when in the area. read more

Delicious fries and smoothies tho burger patties could be seasoned a little more! I recommend!

Wow! Atomic Burger is New Orlean's answer to In N Out Burger! I got a fresh juicy classic burger done in the Atomic style (cheese, lettuce, tomato pickle and onion). I also added hand cut fries to my order and washed it down with one of their famous chocolate milkshakes. Great food, nicely prepared. I will definitely be back! read more

Atomic Burger - Fast Food Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

HONESTLY! I've been living here my whole life and I was just driving around the area and I decided to go get a burger from a place I've never tried & it was 9/10!! Burgers were amazing however the fries were cooked a little too long, you can definitely tell they were homemade as well. The green Chile burger is my recommendation if you like spicy things because of the poblano peppers. And the atomic burger is good for a regular burger with the special AB sauce. I recommend this place, good service, good food. ( didn't go inside ) read more

Atomic Burger - Left atomic burger, right green Chile burger - Fast Food Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

This is my first review in a while and the first draft was longer (just had words backed up into my fingers, I guess), so I edited. Here's the short version. The Order: Hot Dog Kids Meal, Mushroom Swiss Burger, Green Chile Burger, Fries, BBQ sauce, Spicy Ketchup, AB Sauce, Sriracha Mayo, Truffle Mayo, Roasted Garlic Aioli, Fountain Drink, Salted Caramel Milkshake. The Taste: The Hot Dog was legitimately good, which surprised me and made me happy when I ended up eating it because my son decided he didn't want his hot dog. Mushroom Swiss and Green Chile Burgers were BOTH delicious. I've only ever had one mushroom burger that I liked more, and I have to drive 40 miles to get it, so score. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the chile burger. The Green Chiles were mild, but had a robust--not overwhelming--flavor that I actually preferred over the Mushroom Swiss. While the flavors were great, I'm dinging the burgers for execution and presentation--they were greasy and the buns were smashed. I expect a lot more from an $8 burger. The fries were average. Skin-on, which I like, a little crispy, well-salted, but somehow not particularly stand-out. Fries I like better: Red Robin steak fries, Rally's, Wendy's, and Luke's duck-fat fries. Atomic's fries aren't bad, they just aren't particularly good. BBQ sauce is Sweet Baby Ray's so it's reliable if sweet. Spicy Ketchup, Sriracha Mayo, and AB sauce were the favorites at our table. Truffle Mayo and Roasted Garlic Aioli just tasted like weird mayo to the person in our group who actually grew up in Belgium, where mayo is the standard condiment for fries. Coke products in the fountain. Salted Caramel Milkshake was THICK and DELISH; that's going on the list of cravable eats. The Price: $40. Kinda pricey for two burger combos, a kids' meal, and a shake. The Facility: Circa 1950s-inspired industrial design. Not particularly anything, but ok. Tables were ALL dirty. There were three other groups dining in when we sat down. Their tables looked dirty. All the other tables were dirty. I went to the bathroom, got a wet paper towel, got a dry paper towel, and got to work. On the upside, the mens' room was clean, though DIMLY lit. Two high-chairs of differing heights were available to accommodate the rugrats. There's an outdoor dining area for those who wish to imbibe in the exhaust fumes from Vets Blvd. The Service: Good, not great--definitely fast CASUAL. There's a self-serve station available for orders. The soda fountain was clean, but only had lids for the large cups. The Bottom Line: Not my favorite place to get a burger--pricey for a fast casual place where I have to wipe down my own table--but it's ok. It's gonna be a while before I come back for a burger or fries, but I'll probably be back for a milkshake before that. read more

I loved the Beyond Stack here. Many places don't cook veggie burgers well, but Atomic Burger does an excellent job. I usually get my burger with the edamame, and hubby gets his with the fries. I can truly say that the fries are so freaking good. Every once in a while, we will indulge in those delicious shakes. The cookie and cream is my favorite. Each time we have had excellent customer service especially pre- COVID19. I used to love going in because it was always clean, and the workers are nice. I will say that this place is on the expensive side, but it is worth it. read more

I'm really getting tired of ordering food from places and constantly getting stale ass fries that clearly were cooked hours ago. I placed an UBER Eats order @ 7:47pm and received it by 8:34pm. There is no way my food should be cold; my food was not freshly made. Like why would you give somebody that because you're too lazy to make fresh food. But they want to make $15 an hour ‍ read more

Ordered online thru Door Dash around 8 at night. Burger and fries were cold. Burger was unusually small and the fries were all little pieces. Most were like an inch long. Very disappointed. Will never order from there again. read more

Delicious burger that melts in your mouth. Try the one with green chilies! Fries are always fresh and crispy, staff here has always been on point. Perfect little dining area for a quick lunch/dinner! Possibly the best burger in Metairie. 98/100 Pretty much a perfect score from me, I don't give hundos. Well done! read more

Was stuck next door for an hour and decided to give this place a shot. Truly great burger, no complaints on the mushroom & swiss. Fries were perfectly crispy but some with a lot of skin tasted sadly of dirt so I'm guessing they don't wash the potatoes well enough. Shake was good, made to order in a big contraption next to the front counter. I don't need a show, but it was a pretty good shake. Very expensive, and I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come here again but when my car is getting service I'll likely return for a darn good burger. read more

As for fast food places I really like this place but it is quite pricey. My favorite thing to order here is the portabello burger which is nice and juicy and Jen L. said it's not a good idea to try and eat this in your car bc it will get messy. Another item I enjoy here is the chocolate milkshake which has the gimmick of being chilled by the nitrogen tank. It's pretty pricey for a milkshake but it is tasty. The only problem is that they close around 9pm so you gotta get there early. I've eaten inside and it's pretty modern and clean looking with friendly service and clean ladies restrooms. I've also done the drive thru and the service was quick and friendly. If you're looking for a healthy alternative for fast food I definitely recommend the portabello burger! With that being said I guess I should finally try their regular burgers! Oh, and I also have been meaning to try their edamame side instead of French fries as well but I really do love my fries! Happy eating! read more

Third times the charm. After watching the construction of this restaurant for months, I was eager to sink my teeth into a real Atomic burger. I read all of the reviews and can understand both the positive and negatives. This is a new concept in burgers and shakes. Not some transplanted New York/L.A. craze. It's born of our local folks and they're embarking on uncharted territory. That said, there are some kinks in service and consistency (that I believe they will work out in time so I won't harp on them) but the burgers are thick, fresh, juicy and cooked just right. I give it a big thumbs up. The owners/managers were very friendly and made sure to ask us how we liked everything. They had signage up addressing some of the concerns from previous reviewers, I think they are very open to the thoughts/concerns of customers and will continue to approve. For now, this makes my list of go to go 'old-fashioned' burgers and shakes. Price-wise...I mean, you pay $7-9 for a combo at Wendy's. So why not $9-12 for a combo (with Shake) at a locally owned joint that uses real actual ground beef! read more

Atomic Burger - jamburger & fries - Fast Food Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Delicious milkshakes. Personally recommend the wedding cake milkshake. Food: burger restaurant with 5 burger choices all good but the jamburger sticks out as the winner for me. It has bacon and onion and a hint of sweetness in it. Their milkshakes are all great, and that's not because of the nitrogen cooling that they use. Even tho it looks exciting. Favorite milkshake that I have tried is the wedding cake one. It has a pineapple and cream flavor to it that makes it refreshing and filling, a nice surprise. Ambience: clean casual seating area with lots of natural light. Minimalistic with a lot of red and white. Service: friendly staff was helpful with recommending milkshakes to me. She has personally tried them all and could give me a clear description of each. read more

I have eaten here a small handful of times. It is not your McDonald's type of fast food, it is somewhere between a 5 Guys and your typical chain sit down American food restaurant. The prices are a bit on the high side, in my opinion, but it is decent food. The milkshakes are individually made using liquid nitrogen, and they are great. On the south side of Veterans BLVD, there are several fast food places nearby. There is a small parking lot and a drive thru. If you go in to dine, go to the counter to order. The menu isn't very large, but there are several burger options, including a turkey burger. I have tried several of the burgers. The fries are great, hand cut and fresh. There are multiple options for dipping sauces. After ordering, you pour your own soft drink and choose your seat. You also have to bus your own table after you are done. For the most part, everything is neat, clean and well organized. If you don't feel like a sit down American restaurant or a lower level chain restaurant, come and enjoy! read more

Woot! I love this place, especially watching them make my liquid nitrogen chilled milkshake. This is my second time here. I came here the first time because I was getting an oil change at the Mazda. 45 mins to kill? Sure I'll eat! Drove by this place many times on Veterans and now this is my second time and I brought my hubby! I love the fact that the beef and turkey meat are ground in house! Fresh...never frozen. You can taste the freshness of the meat. I'm pretty sure it's 70/30 because the juiciness of the meat when you bite into it is orgasmic. I have been trying out different flavors with the sliders option. Green Chili burger has the roasted poblano, jamburger has the bacon onion jam and the mushroom Swiss burger has sautéed mushroom and onions. I actually enjoyed all three burgers! I probably liked the Jamburger more because of the bacon bits in it! Can't go wrong with bacon. Their fries are hand cut! I ordered a side of chipotle Aoli for my fries, tangy and I love it! There are more sauce options as well! Hubby had the turkey burger! It was just as juicy as my burger. Flavorful and cooked well done. He said it was delicious! For the price of the turkey burger ($6.89), you really can't go wrong! I will be back soon!! read more

If I could give this place to zero stars I would. The ambience is great but the staff is incompetent and sub standard. The menu consists of burgers, fries, and shakes. There is a huge menu board with pictures. Therefore the menu was foolproof. This was my first and last visit to this establishment. I was guided here after positive Yelp reviews. I even checked in to take advantage of the free slider burger promotion. I tried to enjoy this place, but the staff was horrendous. My order was simple in mind --- mushroom slider (free), regular fry with garlic aioli, and cookies and cream shake. The cashier had difficulty ringing that into the system and providing my final tally so that I could pay the bill. I left my payment method with another person I my party. After using the restroom and returning, my order still had not been placed because the cashier was confused as to how to ring in. She asked if I could wait until a Manager was able to assist. I had already waited nearly 10 minutes. But given that the line was getting longer and none of her colleagues offered any assistance, I agreed. I patiently waited another 5 minutes while the line grew smaller. I then asked about the status of my order, and she said she is still waiting on a manager. After wasting over 15 minutes trying to place an order, this place was a complete bust. I will never return to such a poorly run establishment again. I warn to you avoid them as well. My suggestion for management is that retrain your staff on the register and basic customer service techniques. read more
