A Desert Gem: Navajo Blue Travel Plaza If you're cruising through the heart of the Navajo Nation near Flagstaff, you have to stop at Navajo Blue Travel Plaza. It's more than just a pit stop; it's a cool, modern tribute to Diné culture with some of the best food on the road. The Highlight: The "Soo Big Burger" is the star of the show. You can get it on a standard bun, but the move is definitely ordering it on fresh Navajo Fry Bread. It's made with 100% Navajo Beef, and the quality is obvious from the first bite. If you like heat, be sure to add the green chile for that authentic Southwest kick. Final Verdict: Whether you're a local or just passing through to see the monuments, this spot is a "must." Great food, rich culture, and a perfectly "cool" atmosphere. read more

Big Ass Burgers - Fast Food Near Me - Thoreau, New Mexico

The food is delicious! Especially the curly fries!!! The burger I had was the cheese burger and it was delicious! I really enjoyed my meal. Best part of it all was the Barqs Root Beer, the best root beer of all!!! The building is small and it's a place for To-Go (take away) orders only. The service is also great, although I came at a bad time because it was an hour wait due to their long lists of orders. But it's definitely worth the wait!! I'll definitely come back!! read more

Honestly, this place doesn't look like much from the outside but it's worth your money! I've passed by BAB multiple times since I was in the area for a few weeks and finally decided to try it out during my last week and I was not disappointed! It's a small takeout place where you go in to order, and then the order is brought out to your car once it's ready. There were so many options in terms of sizing (I think ranging from 1/4-2lb). A combo comes with a burger, fries, and a drink and it's decently priced. The burger is seasoned, juicy, and flavorful. This place truly is one of the reasons why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. If you're passing by and looking for food in Thoreau, check out BAB!! read more

Love places like this! Not too far off I-40 and the guys made our order fast and brought it out to our vehicle. Amazing burgers! Traveling from VA to AZ. Great find! read more

Wow. Tiny place on the side of the road in Thoreau- no dining in, but you can walk in to order. The burgers range from 1/4 pound to a full pound, toppings are the basics, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, and you can add green chile and/or bacon. Fries were super fresh and really good. Burgers were SO GOOD. And the people were insanely kind and sweet. They bring it all out to your car, packaged individually for everyone and labeled. This place was perfect- I cannot suggest anything to improve. Thank you so much! read more

The best burger joint in the 505 great prices . Best people with the best friendliest service!! Eat there once a week its our big ass day!

We have been driving from Tennessee to California, which is home. We decided to stop here for a quick lunch. Honestly, it was because of the catchy name! Big Ass Burgers. A short drive off of route 40. The burgers are so big and delicious. Very flavorful. The fries are spiral and crispy. My hot dog was good as well. This is take out with car service. A very enjoyable lunch. Worth a visit! read more

Big Ass Burgers - 1 pound burger. - Fast Food Near Me - Thoreau, New Mexico

Not sure I see what the hype is about. Yes, the burgers are big in the sense that it's a 1/2lb patty that is smashed to CD thickness. This means the burger is about twice the width of a standard burger. But as someone else pointed out, the ratio of meat and toppings to bun is just off. Way too much of everything besides meat (bread in particular) for this to work. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that the meat is dry and pretty tasteless. Yes, you could get a double, but I don't want to eat a pound of burger meat. a 1/2 lb is already plenty. So figure out the ratios that this works, even if that means making the burger smaller (i.e. two 1/4 lb smash patties and a standard size bun instead of one the size of a dinner plate). So meh on the burger, frankly. The fries are a soggy greasy mess. They aren't twice fried so the are just floppy and oily, even if the flavor is decent. A floppy fry just don't fly! Anyway, for where it is (the middle of the middle of nowhere), it's fine. But it's nothing to write home about. Oh, and their ventilation system clearly doesn't work so the air inside the place is a fog of grease. I wouldn't not want to see what's happening to the lungs of the employees. read more

Halloween 2021 Headed from Sedona to KC and hungry. The advertisement for Big Ass Burger on I40 caught my husband's eye and based on the few reviews we said why not! The burger was big, fresh and ready fast for its size. It was enough for my husband & I and a few burger bites for our Golden. We got the combo which they make skin on shoestring curly fries. It's in the middle of nowhere, but if you are hungry and are nearby stop in to get your Big Ass Burger! read more

Glad we stopped to try it. Pros: Pricing & Portions (I should have got the "Lil Dude") Cons: Fries & Burger needed more seasoning. Requested rare (as pink as possible$ Burger but there was barely any pink at all. read more

The burgers were indeed Big A$$ Burgers, and very filling. If the fries were a touch crispier and not as greasy/soggy, the burgers and fries would definitely be top tier. Service is fast and friendly, nice little spot just off the 40. Stop on in and give 'em a try if you're hankering for some beef. (Hot dogs are pretty good too) not a huge fan of the cheese sauce for the chili cheese fries but, to each their own. read more

Worth stopping in and getting some freshly cooked big ass burgers. When you see it you maybe thinking no but it's good. Minimal seating inside. We ate by our car. read more

Stopped by here on the way to Texas wasn't completely sure about it but once I saw the reviews I thought I'd give it a shot and I got the best burger I've had in awhile and the girl working was very sweet and brought our food out to us. Highly recommend. read more

This place was pretty alright. I was reeled in by one review but it wasn't really anything too special. The topping to bun ratio was kinda off. The fries were meh. If I didn't add the cheese, I probably wouldn't have been able to eat them. It was still a nice place to have lunch tho. read more

Food is pretty good love it, the old school feel of the restaurant and how small and nostalgic it feels is great too. The service is pretty great with nice staff. read more

Went by after church today. Sat down and waited for 15 minutes and no one waited on us. No, they were not that busy and yes they knew we were there. I heard one employ tell another employ that they had a table for two and looked right at us. The employ ignored us and started cleaning tables on the other side. We tried to be patient but 15 minutes is to long to wait without any acknowledgement that you are there and they plan on serving you. I would not waste my time eating here because the customer does not come first. read more

We stopped off i40 for a bite. It's takeout only and doesn't look like much from the outside, but the folks inside were friendly and the food was good. We got half pound sloppy Joe's and they were enjoyable. The fries were fresh made but a little greasy for me. But my overall takeaway was positive and I'm glad we stopped there. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover. This place is serving up some bad ass burgers. If your caught with the hankering for some food and in this area then pull off the highway and get a burger. Who knows maybe the horses will be out front to great you. read more

If you are in the mood for a good charbroiled burger with fresh fries, this place does not disappoint. Not only was to food great, the service was even better. The girl brought us our food to the car also gave us free ice cream, and took our trash away. Super friendly read more

This establishment doesn't look like much when you pull up to it but LISTEN, this place is bad ass. It's a small little shack where it's take out only and it is everything plus more. We got the big ass bacon burger with jalapeños added. This is literally the best burger I've ever had in my life. Me and my boyfriend shared the burger and we are both stuffed. The meat is seasoned to perfection, the toppings are super fresh, the fries are a little pathetic but come on, who's going there for the fries because we didn't. If ever or whenever we drive through Thoreau will will def stop there. If this place was in a major city it def would be a major super hit. Once you order you wait outside and they bring your order to you. It's a really cool divey type place, only 6 minutes off the freeway. All meals come with whichever burger your choose with lettuce, onion, pickles and their "special" Mayo ketchup sauce and tomato, with French fries and a drink. For $18 me and my boyfriend are stuffed with left overs. The only critique we do have is that they need burger buns big enough to fit the big ass burger but honestly it's so delicious it wasn't that big of a deal. TRY THIS PLACE. As a burger lover, I can honestly say this is the best burger I've ever had. read more

We stopped into Big Ass Burger on our way back from Albuquerque to Arizona. We'd seen the sign on the 40 the prior week but couldn't get in touch by phone. The thought of the Big Ass Burger never left us. We stopped and to our great surprise, they were open!! The owners were working and were really nice people. We ordered a Hugh Ass Burger this bad boy comes with 2lbs beef, 6-8 pieces of bacon, 6-8 slices of cheese we also added green chili's. Of course, all of the usual burger add-ons were included. This thing was so big and beautiful not to mention the smell!! We decided to wrap it and take it home. As I was placing the coveted Huge Ass Burger in the trunk the odors wafting up into my olfactory lobes caused a fierce hunger from deep down inside me. I turned to my wife and said "let's go back in and get a snack!" We went back in and chose a Hot Ass Burger. This one was 1lb I believe, with lots of wonderful spicy jalapenos, YUM, cheese, and the usual add-ons. My wife and I snacked on this wonderfully flavorful burger at every fuel and rest stop back to Arizona. No, I didn't forget about the Huge Ass Burger in the trunk. My wife split half of the monster for dinner and saved the rest for later. Another tasty treat was the curly fries. They actually cut the fries fresh when you order them, no frozen bagged fries here. If you are ever in the area stop into Big Ass Burger, you will not be disappointed. read more

Great burgers and fries. Always love eating here when I'm passing through. Great food and better staff

Catchy name even better burgers! Staff is also super nice. Definitely glad we stopped here on our road trip!

Bravo Big Ass Burgers and bravo Yelp to make it possible to find these isolated gems. Meandering back to Chicago I got hungry and saw the positive reviews so a burger sounded about right. I'm so glad I'm so glad I'm glad I'm glad I'm glad. Cashier was cute as a button and tried to steer me toward the 1 pounder. She was right, I wish I had. And I would order it medium to have it a bit less well done but I don't mean to indicate any disappointment whatsoever. It was really good. And so we're the fries. Curly, skin on, crispy. Well done Big Ass Burgers, I shall return. read more
