For chicken sandwiches (grilled or fired), burgers, tots, amazing shakes and beer, I really don't like to think of other places to go. It might seem off the beaten path in Ballston, but once you go, it will be a regular destination. The staff treat you well and the managers are always present and working to make the experience right. read more

Good, greasy, yummy burger. They have a wide variety of specialty burgers that take on new flavors to make the standard burger more delicacy . I would definitely come back here again for more food. read more

Big Buns - Parmesan Truffle Fries - Burgers Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Let me tell you... I was craving a burger and I sat in a parking lot googling burger places near me and this spot popped up. I tried to order online. Don't do that because somehow the system is not working. So luckily, I found a parking spot Right across from this place here. I went in. The customer service was good. The ambience was good and my burger was damn good. This is one of the best burgers I ever ever had in my life and I am not exaggerating. Anytime I'm in the mood for a burger, I will definitely be going back to Big buns. I might go back tomorrow. I'm going to screenshot a photo of my receipt to let you know what I put on my burger. Don't say I did not warn you. read more

Big Buns - Burgers Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Big Buns sandwiches are consistently great, between burgers, fried chicken, and even grilled/blackened chicken sandwiches. We often go with the latter when we want something healthy-ish on a weekend dinner. However, their fry portions are consistently disappointingly small, as pictured. It's a pretty easy way to make customers happy; just be generous with the fries. They're good and the sauces are good; but they're small fries, so just give me more. A McDonald's medium would be a fraction of the price w/ more fries. read more

Big Buns - BYO - hot grilled chicken sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Ate here today while on break at a conference. It would have been a 5 star experience, however I think it took a bit longer than I would have liked to wait for a burger without fries or anything else. If I was ever ordering again I'd consider an order ahead option to save myself time. The Collaboration burger was fire. I added a friend egg. I would have liked a bit more bacon jam, but overall it was a solid burger. read more

Continuing my last year of each month without a review, and for October was 2015. I checked my credit card bill & saw I went to Big Buns then. I had been to Big Buns maybe twice, and neither time I was impressed. Yeah the buns are big, but the burger itself was mediocre. I was never impressed with this place. It's spacious inside and think there was outdoor seating as well. read more

Excellent spot especially if you're eating with kids. Great burgers and cocktails!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Came by for lunch as I was in the area and was not impressed. I would've been happier with shake shack around the corner Service: food came out fast but the lady who took our order was unpleasant. No smile, did not feel welcome. I felt uncomfortable ordering. Food: the burger meat was seasoned but it lacked any further flavor. The peppercorn burger did taste like pepper, that was it. The 9 year anniversary burger had caramelized onions but they didn't taste particularly sweet or anything. There was 2 sad strips of bacon. The Parmesan truffle fries were decent but I barely tasted any truffle. Oreo shake was ok but didn't stand out. Ambiance: of the tables that were open, most of them were dirty and had trash on them. We sat at a table that looked clean but had crumbs all over it. Looks like they might pick up trash but no one wipes them down which is pretty disgusting. Overall, I would say maybe you'd have a better experience at a different location, but this place was not it. read more

Oddly long wait. I went in around 2pm when I was the only one there and I doubt the online queue was long. The wait was close to 15 mins for a burger! The kitchen has this "edge of regulation" hygiene. That being said, the sandwich and accompanying stuff was good, not great. I'm not sure I'll be back. read more

My daughter was in the mood for a burger for dinner so we decided to try out Big Buns. I didn't realize we had caught them close to closing time so it was empty when we arrived. Although they were preparing to close, the staff was attentive and friendly. They have kiosk machines near the entrance to place your order so I'm not sure if it's mandatory to use those or if you can also order at the counter. I ordered a burger and fries separately but they do offer bundle deals that include a drink. I didn't realize until I had already ordered. I also ordered the kids burger meal for my daughter. The burger really was damn good. The fries were ok but too salty for my liking. I absolutely plan on going again. They have a nice outside sitting area that I would like to utilize on my next visit. Street parking was easy for me to find but the actual restaurant wasn't easy to find by GPS. It's inside of a courtyard so the restaurant wasn't visible from the main street. read more

This was my favorite meal of the trip. It didn't occur to me how big these 7oz burgers were until I thought about how MCD quarter pounder is just half their size. Between me and my friend, we shared a kids meal and a classic burger. The kids meal comes with a kids burger (half the size of the classic), kids fries, and kids size drink. I'm amused how the kids burger comes with cheese for free but the classic burger you have to pay separately. The burgers were a lot of meat. The buns came out a little bit soggy. We found this combination to be a satisfying full meal for us. The fountain drink was just something you pour yourself after they give you a cup. My friend and I wanted the ginger pear juice when we were ordering and double confirmed we wanted it when we were at the fountains. Their other juices are interesting too -- more choices than just sodas, but we liked how the ginger pear is more unique and refreshing. Also it was cute how the kids cup has jungle animals printed on it. Our favorite part was the fries. I personally like thin fries so these work for me. It's also the sauces that made it so fun. We were allowed to choose as many sauces as we like. Our favorite was the ranch and BBQ was second. The others we tried were nice too which made the eating experience so fun. Also this location is very convenient for us living next door in the Westin! read more

Big Buns - Burgers Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Despite being a "Burger" joint, their fried chicken sandwiches are phenomenal!!! They are in serious competition for THEE best fried chicken sandwiches...all white meat fried to golden perfection, and its great portion size, with the option to get it on a brioche bun, as well as a salad bowl, quinoa bowl, or non gluten bun all for a slight up-charge on uber eats..but may be different in store, or on their website. Their toppings include the standard lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles, and their specialty sandwiches offer avocado, red onions, fried egg, fried onion straws, bacon, mushroom, jalapeños, sautéed onions, red cabbage slaw, and 5 different cheese options-American, cheddar, pepper jack, Swiss, and blue cheese. There are 3 types of chicken sandwiches offered, and I have tried 2 of them, which were both fantastic!! I didn't get any fries, but they offer a variety of options such as regular, parmesan truffle, and cajun (seasoned with old bay, cayenne, and paprika). They also have fried brussel sprouts served with bacon jam (this is amazing..) and sriracha drizzle. This is delicious but the portion size could be better for the price point. But I happily save my caloric intake for the milkshakes..and OMG..its heaven in a cup. The cookie butter flavor is all that you would ever dream of ;) trust me! I can not speak on the customer service because Ive only ordered online via uber eats..but I know you can order directly from them, and save a bit of money-which I'll try out next time. But my orders are always correct, with a special sticker attached to my receipt reminding my delivery person to "don't forget the shake". This screams attention to details! I highly recommend, and look forward to trying out their burgers too.. read more

Great burger spot with a chill vibe. I heard great things about this place, so was very excited to give it a try. I've had a couple people tell me that Big Buns is their favorite burger place in the DMV. Food Ordered two burgers and fries and they took about 10 minutes or less to come out. We got the Horseradish Bourbon Burger which has bacon, bourbon caramelized onions and mushrooms and horseradish sauce. Really good, not super horseradishy for $12.99. We also got the Anniversary Brgr, my favorite of the two burgers, which had more of a sweet taste than the other burger for $13.99.Burgers came on a delicious and toasted bread. Messy to eat. Fries are a separate cost, they have regular, cajun and truffle parmesan. We got regular fries and they were thin cut. The restaurant has vinegar, mustard and salt - everything you would need to add to your fries and burger. Ambiance & Service Everyone was really nice. Burgers came out fast (but not too fast!) and they deliver them to your table. Very chill inside, no need to dress up. They have many tables. read more

One location of a local counter-service burger spot Have both pre-set options and lot of options to customize your burger, including options with both chicken & vegetarian patties. In addition to their burgers & fries they also have a bunch of different varieties of milkshakes (that you can also add booze to) + "burger bowls" I came here with my GF and we both got custom burgers, mine with a beef patty and hers with chicken patty. We also split a serving of fries, and I got an Oreo milkshake as well. The fries and the shake were both great, and my GF really enjoyed her chicken burger as well, but the beef burger was not the best. It was a big patty, but it didn't seem like the meat was the highest quality and it was overcooked All of the food took a little while to come out, and the guy who took our orders and served us our food was very unfriendly read more

Been here twice now. The first time I got a burger of some sort, the second I got a fried chicken sandwich. Both were great options. Pic shown is the fried chicken sandwich. The fries are cajun which got that kick to em. Would recommend just getting regular fries and seasoning them yourself if you're weak (like me). Both times i've also gotten a shake. They have great food, great shakes, and plenty of seating. Service is quick. read more

the staff where nice, food on point, and the guy that took care of me named Jose, was really patient and helpful

Tasty and fast for pickup! We ordered ahead and the site said about 15 mins which was perfect as we were just about 10 mins away. As we left we got an alert it was ready! We ordered Beets Sprouts & Harmony grilled chicken and some Cajun fries. Unfortunately I ate the bowl before getting a photo first! The bowl was a good value and quite filling. The beets and brussel sprouts made the bowl seem more healthy and still tasty with the walnuts and banana chips. Chicken was flavorful. The Cajun fries was a bit more spicy than I expected. I haven't had old bay seasoning in a while. Pickup was easy. We drove in through the alley next to the place and called for curbside delivery. They were ready! read more

The food was mediocre at best. The burger and fries fell short of being anything special.

I absolutely adore this place for delicious burgers! It's definitely on the more pricier side with burgers being over $10 and fries being from $4-8, but I think it's worth from the taste and quality. Although, it is in Ballston so you probably will have to pay for parking if you're here. I typically just grab and go with someone else. I ALWAYS get the Parmesan fries which are quite filling on their own with chipotle aioli sauce. The added cheese and garlic flavour really makes the crunchy fries taste so good. I always get a different burger here too, but the brioche bun is always thick and buttery, the patty is juicy, meaty, and tasty, and the added veggies and sauces always compliment the burger so well. The teas and drinks they have here are great too if you want to try them out. I also took advantage of the promo online code they have if you order online for the most recent purchase for $5; very nice of them. This is a great place to dine in or take out at. Definitely come here if you want a really good burger and fries! read more

BIG Buns, BIG Prices, little taste, terrible value. $54 for these 2 crummy burgers, 2 fries (truffle and cheese wiz), and 2 off-brand soft drinks. It took them 15-20 minutes to prep. WTF? I even had to ask for ketchup and mustard. These burgers were dry/overcooked and fries were just decent. The inside of the establishment must have had to AC set to 55 degrees F, so we had to sit in the crowded outside area. ABSOLUTELY NOT worth the price we paid and the worst value in town. This place was good last year when we previously visited. Not anymore. Who knows... in another year, they'll probably be seeking my left kidney as a downpayment and 5.5% APY to finance a meal. read more

This amazing gem lives up to its freaking name !!! Burger was A1 I got the impossible patty for the steakhouse burger and you really couldn't tell the difference. The sear and seasoning was on point ! The chicken sandwich burger was amazing, the flavor, the crunch the added sauce and pickles all worked in harmony with one another. The drinks they had all good and great in taste wouldn't change a thing about it. Ample amount of seating inside and out. Plan on coming back to try their shakes and I cannot wait until my next visit !!! read more

Lots of variety on the menu from burgers to chicken patties to veggie options too. We got the Shirlington hot chicken sandwich and the horseradish bourbon burger for meals and Cajun fries on the side with a Nutella shake. Out of everything we got the fries and the shake were the highlight of the meal. Fries were really fresh and had a good amount of Cajun seasoning. It also came with a really good horseradish dipping sauce. The Nutella shake was amazing as well. The chicken sandwich and burger were good, but not amazing in my opinion. I'd definitely come back for another shake though read more

Big Buns - Burger time - Burgers Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I think this is my favorite burger place in Arlington. A great authentic and homey feel to this restaurant when you walk in the door. The menu is carefully created and has a variety of delicious options and customizable choices to pick from. I ordered the breakfast burger with a fried egg, bacon, and apple butter (not pictured) and it was sensational. Bursting with flavor, juicy, paired well with chipotle aioli. Delicious burger. The truffle fries were tasty, however a little too expensive for the portion. $9 for what seemed to be a medium sized amount. Also tried the chicken sandwich and it was solid. Not the best I've ever had by any means but hit the right notes. I picked up my order after ordering online and the service was good. read more

Not a terrible burger place. I got an Angus burger and cajun fries. The burger was nice and juicy, cooked nicely.

Definitely a place worth checking out. read more

I don't know what happened but my over priced burger that was $16 with tax (no fries included) was awful. No flavor and no seasoning. Customer service was not great at all, the cashier seemed irritated when I asked a few questions since it was my first time there. Before I got my food the employee looked like he hooked his meal up and when they got to mine- it was a complete a flop. I am very disappointed despite all the good reviews. The prices are really high for a mid to borderline tasteless burger. Do not recommend at all. read more

Best croissant I've ever had in my life my boyfriend forces me to bring him here for breakfast on the weekends

My only regret is not finding this place sooner! Got the burger combo- about $14 for a cheeseburger, drink and fries. It's just really good. Trust this random Yelp review and go. The burger was big and so yummy and the pickles were the good ones. The fries were perfect, I've been day dreaming of them ever since. And weirdly, the soda was the best soda ever? It's not normal soda, and I only got soda because of the combo. It's from a soda specialty brand and it's just exponentially better than any soda you've ever had. I'm a burger lover and I approve this message! read more

Service is a little rough especially when it was not crowded but the burger itself is not bad. Currently at 4 stars on Yelp and the peppery flavor is present but semi dominating on the peppercorn steakhouse. Fries are okay in terms of texture but the parm truffle seasoning is not present. read more

I don't eat burgers as much as I would like to, thanks to my advanced waist line. So when I do have one, I want it to be memorable. This one checked all the boxes. The bun was soft by sterdy.
