Hands down best fries in the city. WOWWWW. Perfectly cooked with that perfect crunch. UGHH SO GOOD. I like the truffle Mayo, but they have a nice variety of sauces you can choose from. Consider me a regular now read more

The service at this place is so ridiculous and it's ridiculous because the employees are ridiculous you walk in there's nobody at the counter. I know they can hear you walking in. I said excuse me three times no one ever acknowledged me then the girl comes and asked me am I picking up for someone? Yeah I am. I give her the name she kind of like flings it to me. You need to retrain these people you need to retrain these people read more

Ordered Atomic burger medium rare and got two criminally over cooked patties that were totally devoid of any moisture. I would rate this as the worst hamburger ever! read more

Great burgers and fries that I love dipping into their chocolate covered banana shakes

Burger was really good!! We had the Chile burger, Jamburger, and a couple of cheeseburgers. The onion and bacon jam is really good! Kids love it. Definitely ready for another burger!! read more

I went here last year and it was amazing. The burger looked almost exactly like the ad. Crisp lettuce, big slices of tomato, nice juicy burger. I also got the milkshake combo. Not TODAY. Sad looking burger with a few strips of iceberg lettuce and burnt fries. The milkshake was grainy as if it was on its way to becoming butter. I paid too much for a burger that looks like it came from Mcdonald's. read more

Went bc the reviews and pics looked good. Chicken sandwich was pretty much inedible. It was all batter and tasted like the oil was funky. Fries were a greasy mess. read more

Came for the chicken sandwich in the middle of the chicken sandwich wars. My sandwich was way overcooked and the cabbage was cut too big and was too hard to chew I actually threw the sandwich away. The fries though are excellent, perfectly fried crisp, natural cut with the skin on. Loved the fries hate the chicken sandwich stick with the burger. read more

For a dad and daughter who like good burgers, Atomic Burger has become the new Saturday go to after dance class. (This comes after the closure of the previous favorite, Phil's Grill). The burgers here are high-quality, cooked consistently and offered in four major variants: Atomic (the familiar mustard, ketchup, American cheese style), Mushroom Swiss, the bacon-onion Jamburger, and my personal favorite, Green Chili Cheeseburger. A portobello mushroom burger is available but unfortunately is offered only in the full size and not as a small slider, probably because the mushroom is more difficult to work with at smaller sizes. They also have a turkey burger that I will try--someday. Burgers are sold as standard size offerings for about $7, but consider instead the little sliders for just under $3 each, where you can mix and match different types. The French Fries are rough cut and pleasantly crunchy and salty. THe shakes come in a variety of flavors, some on the exotic side, and are prepared with a whiz-bang Buck Rogers frozen nitro contraption that forms the centerpiece of the whole space. It looks gimmicky, but the shakes come out perfectly blended and delicious. Atomic Burger does justice to Veterans Highway's long history with the burger. (The official name is and has been "Veterans Memorial Boulevard" for decades, but I go back to the one-side, shell road days.) Hopper's near Transcontinental was a popular drive-in up until Hurricane Betsy came through. The Swamp Room was the first place I ever tried a big, juicy burger outside of a home kitchen or backyard grill. One of the oldest McDonald's in the area still operates down near the corner of Williams Boulevard (it's been renovated at least 3 times) and the McDonald's diagonally across Vets from Atomic Burger briefly held in the early 1970s the distinction of being the most expensive parcel of land the corporation had ever acquired for a restaurant. Lee's Burgers relocated from its longtime downtown location to Veterans, once decades ago and more recently further up the road to its current location. (Did I forget any others?) read more

Burger was pretty good. Soft bun. I got mine well done otherwise they come medium well. Fries were ok. Milkshake was delicious.

I loved this spot. I was starving after my flight and ate here for dinner. I wasn't sure what to get, so I ordered 3 sliders to make my own sampler. I had the Atomic Burger, Green Chile, and Mushroom Swiss. My favorite was the Atomic Burger. This classic dressing was perfect. It was so good that I ate there again before I headed home and bought a burger for later that night. The green chile could have been better if there was a little more to it, like avocado and white queso as the cheese. The mushroom swiss was good, but it paled in comparison to the regular Atomic burger. Can't wait to go back and get a shake! Also the staff is super nice. read more

So we were on a mission to try the newly opened Shake Shack but was turned around by the large crowd waiting to get it . We had our stomachs set on burgers and shakes so my daughter suggested we go down the street to Atomic Burger! I'm so glad she did! No line inside , just a couple cars in the drive thru! We went inside. Very friendly staff! We ordered the mushroom Swiss burgers with fries and milkshakes. The burger was delicious and the fries were hot and crispy. The milkshakes were super thick and they give you a big straw to drink it! I had vanilla and my daughter had strawberry. Both were very good! The only issue I had was that the tables inside weren't clean and I didn't see anyone attend to them when I was there . I would go back to try another burger and maybe next time I'll try a specialty milkshake! They list special flavors of the day of the menu. read more

Wonderful burga and fwies. Wondaful shakes. Yum yummy delicious thank you Mr atomic burger.

Atomic burgers menu is very simple. They are a typical fast food with the standard burger and shake! They have a chicken sandwich, and hotdog which I haven't tried yet. But if you go here get a burger, fries, and milkshake. I typically don't eat fast food, but when I do it's atomic burger!! read more

Definitely BEST QUALITY burger for the price in Metairie. And they have a drive thru or you order at the counter and sit down! They easily rival The Company Burger, but you can't beat the convenience of the Metairie location, the price and the availability of SLIDERS! (The even offer a great slider package!) They have tons of unique milk shakes made via liquid nitrogen, super fun for the kids to watch! And milk shake specials every month. I particularly LOVE the green chili burger, as I'm a huge fan of heat and cheese! The fries don't blow me away, but their sauces are awesome, especially the truffle aioli. They also offer edamame, as a delicious healthy snack alternative. Y'all they got dat crushed ice for the sodas too! Don't pass the place up, quality, quality and quality! read more

I stopped in on a Friday night to try the cauliflower bun which is a good option if your low carb or keto. It's an upcharge of $1 and a nice change from tour regular lettuce wrapped burger. It is on the menu and the employee stated it has become very very popular. They also offer edamame instead of French fries, but I can not speak on those because I only got the burger. The taste was very good, but the cauli bun fell apart easily. I think it should be grilled a bit longer to give it a nice crunch. Love that atomic burger is giving us low carb people options!! read more

Where is the beef? The beef patty super thin and the fries were too small and scrappy.. will not go back with such high price burgers and paper thin beef read more

One of the Worst food experience in my life! Food was not good!! Customer service was horrible from the manager! And the ambiance wasn't that great, once you take a look at the back in the kitchen area, I was shocked at the uncleanness of the area. I only No this because I had to go up to the area of the counter where the cashier wasn't standing to see the mess, we just toss our food and left! read more

I'm always on the lookout to try a different burgers spot to conduct my on Best Burger Taste Test. I haven't been to Atomic Burger in over a year so I was in the area and decided to give them a fresh taste test. The burgers were super fresh and piping hot to the point that the cheese was melting ever so nicely like a cheeseburger should. The hand cut fries were cooked perfectly. I was all ready to enjoy this beautiful cheeseburger and then I bit into the burger which started out great until all of the salt on the burger just ruined my whole experience. I'm going to chalk this up to a over zealous cook getting a little heavy handed on the salt shaker. So I will hold my judgment on removing them from my burger options. read more

Love this place and come here all the time, But Cierra made a point to switch out our drinks on the off chance that they could be flat bc they had just restocked the machine. You never get that kind of service in drive thrus and we really appreciated that. Thanks Cierra! read more

Food was good and hot. Yummy shake and good service. The location was nice and clean. Although the food was good I found it to be expensive for fast food burgers. read more

I ended up at Atomic Burger for a school fundraiser one night. It was fine, but nothing mind-blowing. They do seem to be overpriced for what you get. I suppose part of it is the allure of the milkshake, which my daughter ordered and enjoyed watching it being prepared. She didn't rave that it was the greatest milkshake of all time, but she enjoyed it. Overall, if I was in the area and just HAD to have a burger, this would be an option. It wouldn't be in my top 5 options for a burger, though, given the cost vs quality. read more

This is my third visit to this restaurant. I didn't want a third visit due to my previous bad experiences, but my friend insisted. The basic burger is too basic. This location follows through with the typical fast food service we have come to know and love in the New Orleans metro area. The service was slow and the staff was dismissive. I asked for extra pickles and extra tomatoes. What I got was laughable. Wilted lettuce no tomatoes (both of which normally goes on the burger). The food was hot and of fair quality. The location was clean-ish. I think that Atomic Burger is a bit expensive, but is worth the money if made correctly. This location is not meeting par. read more

Really good burgers, my favorite are the sliders. The green Chile one is so flavor and not to spicy. Fries are real good.

Darn good burgers, fun atmosphere, and great fries. I also recommend their nitro shakes. It's a good option for a burger that isn't too expensive but gives you some unique choices at the same time. The staff that I have encountered are friendly and funny. read more

If i would have known how small my Swiss Mushroom Burger was going to be I'd have ordered 2. I waited in line for 55minutes. There is no place to turn around. The Edemami was not cleaned...They serve them with the strings and the stems LEFT ON THEM!! They have to be prepared just like string beans are prepared. Who does NOT know this?? I had to throw both orders away. So sad. Victoria Normand read more

Best food I had while visiting NOLA, the burgers were perfectly tender, juicy, abd tastey! We got the swiss mushroom and Atomic burger, both great. The restaurant was clean and gave fast service. Fries were also good, and they provided a complementary sauce. Would definitely recommend and would def go back! read more

Went to the one in Metairie for lunch today. Called in an order for 13 people, was told 25-30 min. I waited an hour for food. When i arrived to pick up the order, the shakes had been made WAY ahead of time and are totally melted and almost room temp. We are missing parts of orders but I'm so fed up I'm not going back. The food is good, but would've been a lot better without the stress. Not a place to go if you are more than one or 2 people. Tho I saw a couple waiting and they told me they had been waiting 30 min for their food. Needs work. read more

this place is is so fucking good and never has a line!! idk how but very happy i never have to wait. this shit is delicious. love the cauliflower bun and sauce options. read more

Good food, but if you're looking for "fast food", this ain't it. Took 27 minutes to get our food. Plus, the cashier couldn't understand that I wanted to SWAP my soda for a shake. I just said, screw it, and ordered the shakes separately. That said, burgers , fries, and shakes were good. read more

Nice!!! A good place for a quick, different lunch. I didn't go in, but raced through the drive through for two sliders and a large order of edamame. I LOVE that fries aren't the only side option!! The large edamame was waaaaaaay too large for one hungry lady. But they were perfectly steamed and salted. (I'm curious that they were just open in a tray in my bag though. No lid?) I got the slider, just plain and with pickles and mustard. Their menu shows a ton of pre-fab burgers (all available as a slider) but you can customize. They use clean beef and that's great, especially in a fast food setup. The sliders were good - the buns were soft and a little mushy but I don't know if that's because they were in the big of open edamame and just getting steamed. My bag said it opens easily into an elegant placemat but HUH? It's just a bag with no instructions on opening it. And it's just a gross bag on the inside so I'm curious about their use of the word elegant. I was confused by that, and generally don't get confused by a paper bag. I'd definitely hit this place again when a burger craving hits, and would get the small edamame. And maybe a shake??? read more

I was really excited to try Atomic Burger. Their philosophy of offering elevated fast food with different & healthier choices definitely appealed to me. Tonight I drove through and got a regular edamame, a portabella burger and a chocolate shake...so that was kind of a lot of food for me. The regular edamame was equivalent to an appetizer order at a Japanese restaurant and was great. The portabella burger came with carmelized onions (yum) and good quality swiss cheese. I definitely should not have attempted to eat this in my car. Yummy & messy. The chocolate shake was really good. It actually tasted like chocolate & milk and not chemicals. I hope this idea succeeds. read more

The Burgers, Fries, and Milkshakes are good. The Food is a bit pricey and the kicker, for the past 2 times that i've been to Atomic Burger. I have found black hair in either my food or my milkshake. I need y'all to invest in hairnets. Especially if you're in the back working with the food. A hat isn't enough. read more

Well i was thoroughly pleased with everything I had here. I've already come back for the second time in less than a week. That's saying a lot. Especially since this is in the heart of Metairie and requires me to venture from my comfortable, Mid City abode. The menu is simple and straight forward. The atomic burger is easily the best 'fast' burger you're gonna get. The specialty burgers also come in slider form so you can go that route if you want to get a good sample of what they're hitting for. The fries are hand-cut, which I'm a huge fan of, i think they can go a bit more easy on the salt tho. The milkshakes...oh the milkshakes! Whatever that process is they put them through will have you addicted. That cookies and cream is something so serious. They only come in one size, but I know I'd happily pay a little extra for a larger amount, it just disappears way too fast. They've got my vote and repeated business. read more

Fantastic option for a burger in Metairie. Of the "fast food" joints, Atomic burger definitely reigns supreme over McDonalds and Burger King. I am on a low carb diet, so I enjoy their options for a lettuce wrapped burger and edamame instead of fries. They can take any of their burger selections and wrap it in lettuce rather than a bun. The flavor is solid and the carbs are nilch... perfect for me. The edamame is a unique alternative for fries in a burger restaurant... love it. I have to throw a bone to the shakes here too... of course, I don't get one thanks to the carbs, but my kids love them. The presentation is pretty impressive... it's a massive liquid nitrogen chilled milkshake machine that blasts out a white cloud just like the Delorean in Back to the Future every time they make a shake. Doc Brown would surely approve. BOTTOM LINE: One of the best of these new trendy burger joints. Great shakes too. read more

Stopped here for the first time in awhile. The menu has changed and the food quality seems to have declined. Ordered a green chili burger - the meat was undercooked and basically chili pod seeds on the burger instead of green chili. The fries were pretty good. Maybe just an off night. read more

My dogs love the burgers here! I love the drive-thru staff, they are always so sweet and funny! I also love the edamame and once in a blue moon when I stray from my very strict healthy eating lifestyle, the fries are really, really good!!! My only recommendation would be to take a GIANT SHOP VAC and vacuum all the sh*t under the two storage sheds adjacent to the drive-thru! It totally grosses me out! Thank you! read more

Very small burgers!! Pretty good BUT it's not worth $34. The fries are crispy and seasoned well. I'm just hung up on the price. Not sure if we would come back while visiting New Orleans. We ordered: 2 Atomic burger 2 shakes (peanut butter & chocolate) read more
