Expected a full table service restaurant in this otherwise classy district. Big Buns is a fast food counter-service McDonalds style place. They claim to have bar service but know little about what this means. Burgers were okay but not worth doing again. We were expecting more and there is plenty of much more worthy competition. read more

Parking right outside (at least for 30 minutes) is a nice bonus and makes the visit easy. What stands out most about Big Buns is the pride they clearly put into both the food and the drinks. You can tell there's intention behind what they serve. I had the Hot & Hefe burger, and it delivered--great texture, well-balanced toppings, and definitely some heat. I ordered it medium well, but next time I'll go for medium to get a bit more juiciness. The truffle fries were decent, nothing standout, but the chicken sandwich was impressive--huge, flavorful, and loaded with good toppings. A fun touch: they actually serve your food to the table with a robot, which adds a bit of novelty to the experience. I also want to highlight the ginger pear drink--fresh, nicely blended, and refreshing. The ambiance sits somewhere between fast food and casual dining--hard to define exactly, but it works. Pricing is mid-range, and overall, it feels like good value for what you get. I'll definitely be back. read more

Got the peppercorn steakhouse burger and it was solid. Very hearty burger but my patty was a bit dry and little bit overcooked. I've had their Arlington location and loved it but here was just alright. read more

Big Buns - The Peppercorn Steakhouse - Burgers Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

First time ordered burgers here and wasn't disappointed. All of our hamburgers and fries were hot, fresh and delivered as we ordered. We've passed by this place many times and now will stop here! Really enjoyed our food. Thank you! read more

Usually the burgers are great when you eat in. This time I decided to get the burger to go and it was terrible. Burger patty was cooked well done when requested medium. Not sure if they are changing how they do patties now, but I liked the old thicker patties they used to serve. read more

Big Buns - bad burger - Burgers Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

I love Big Buns! It's super customizable and can be made allergy friendly. I got a quinoa bowl with a burger on top. The burger had a lot of flavor. The shakes look SO GOOD! I wish I could try one! read more

I placed a to go order, so I can't speak for the service inside. My order was ready in the time they stated it would be. The burgers and fries were cooked exactly how we wanted them. I would definitely do another to go order from them. read more

This is a pretty good burger place but you can also get chicken sandwiches / nuggets. The service can be good or bad depending on how busy they are. You order from the front desk or kiosk and get a number and wait for your food. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. The burgers are pretty good and you can even customize your own. I do like the fruit juice options they have. read more

Big Buns - Burger and chicken Nugz - Burgers Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

From my experience they've been positively consistent with their service and quality. Love it! Milkshakes and fried chicken sandwich r my fav read more

The service is pretty good and quick. You walk up to the counter and let them know what you'd like to have, pay for it and seat yourself. It is mentioned somewhere on the menu that their offerings are halal, which is pretty awesome for those who require that. Their staff also appear to be pretty inclusive, which is nice. It's a pretty low-key, laidback spot. I dined in a couple times and gotten takeaway a couple times as well. I've gotten just the classic burger with the regular toppings and the fries. I switch back and forth between the regular fries and the Cajun fries sometimes, but I definitely like the Cajun fries much more. I like the classic burger especially with some jalapenos and sauteed onions and mushrooms. The portions are decent and are quite filling. I would def come back if I have a craving, especially if I'm short on time! read more

The sandwiches were AMAZING! The manager "Marcus" was top notch! He was extremely attentive. He welcomed us as soon as we walked in. Asked us if we had ever been there before. When we said it was our first time he walked us through the menu and the ordering kiosk. Once they gave us our food and we had a chance to dive in he came and sat next to us and asked us how we liked the food. It went beyond that. We connected on being new to the area and he had nothing but a gleaming review of the Ashburn community. We also connected on the different states we had each lived in previously. He's a gem/asset to this business. I hope they appreciate him as much as we did. My only minor complaint was the fountain drink options. They are not mainstream and tasted a bit weird. I would recommend the business opt for Coca-cola or Pepsi products. read more

We got to-go chicken sandwiches, and they were fantastic. Didn't care for the fries, regular, but the tots were also very good! I imagine if you were in the mood to chow down on burgers and fries, this is the spot! They have sauces, they have options, and they deliver via one of the many food delivery services. They are in the One Loudoun area, but we only tried them because of the delivery... we'll be back! read more

Wow! Talk about overpriced! $17 for a burger small drink and fries combo. The drink is basically kids sized and there were probably about 10 strands of fries total. Just very visibly skimped out on the quantity of food. read more

Quality has gone down. Not only did they forget to include a portion of my orders but the fries are the worst, dry and stale. read more

First time visiting this location. grabbing a bite before a movie. The person at the counter was warm and inviting. Made recommendations and made the visit pleasant. There are plenty of options for everyone. They have milkshakes, and additional sides if you don't want traditional French fries. I would have tried more but I was pressed for time so I had the classic cheeseburger with (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle mayo, ketchup, and mustard) and a side of fries. The food was prepared rather quickly and everything was delicious. The fries were hot, lightly salted, and crispy. The burger was juicy and flavorful. I plan on coming back to try an alcohol-infused milkshake, Brussels sprouts, and maybe a bowl. read more

Completely disappointing meal. Ordered two burgers (well done), fries, and two drinks. Burgers were roughly the size of a McDonald's single hamburger and unevenly cooked (one side was medium rare and the other barely medium). Condiments were almost tasteless and poorly applied. Fries were acceptably cooked, but were filled with broken pieces that made applying ketchup almost impossible. Drinks were roughly a cup in size, and while refillable, were so small as to be annoying. Place was completely empty at the time we came. Anyplace that makes you say "we should have gone to McDonald's or Burger King " isn't worth $12 for a burger. Not recommended. read more

Slick new burger spot in the Ashburn / One Loudoun location. Decided to stop by, as was showing around extended family, and we were searching for great (dog-friendly) burgers around the area. First off, the ambiance is rather remarkable and spot-on, being as it's right at the heart of One Loudoun. It's literally on the left side of the Alamo Drafthouse theater (facing in). Parking is best done at any of the free p-garages, and here's how to get to the closest walkable one: Go straight in until you see the big Alamo sign, take a right, then a left one or two streets after, and another right into the covered p-garage. For seating, we had no choice but to go for the outdoor patio seating out front, as we got our dog. Take note that you have to go in to inform the staff, and apparently need to order food inside, and then carry it back to table outside. The menu is attached, and after much deliberation, our group of five had: The Peppercorn Steakhouse -- angus, mushroom burger Brunch Burger -- fried egg, bacon, angus beef burger The Shirlington Hot (2x) -- spicy fried chicken burger Peanut Butter Cup (Shake) Apple Pie Rum Spice (Boozy Shake) The shakes were pretty solid, at least. I had the Peanut Butter Cup shake, and it was pretty spot-on. Similar to other shake variants from other burger or fast food locations. The Apple Pie Rum Spice Boozy Shake was also ordered. It was basically rum with an apple and spice infusion. I decided I liked the unique spin and flavor. Honestly, this seems like one of the best options on the Boozy Shakes menu. I had the Peppercorn Steakhouse, and it was a bit expensive for the price point (closer to 15$) and honestly was so-so and seemed a bit overpriced. I'll give it a pass, however. The Shirlington Hot burger was honestly pretty good. Spicy chicken burger which reminded me of Nashville Hot. I will say that at only one dollar cheaper than an angus beef burger, it was still a bit overpriced. I thought it was slightly better than my own burger. Overall, great spot in One Loudoun area, decent burgers and food (a bit overpriced), passable options for parking, and it's great that outdoors seating is pet-friendly. All in all, would recommend and will likely be back at least once more, to sample other (signature) burgers and shakes on the menu. read more

Employees are really nice and love that they have a small outdoor area to eat. Everything was fresh and I ingredients felt premium. I got the bundle deal which is not too bad for $14 especially since it's halal. I do prefer eating halal meat. Did find it distasteful to charge for adding jalapeños. I also tried the milkshake at a previous visit which was pretty good but nothing to rave about. read more

Big Buns - Burgers Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

This place was super awesome! We walked in and was greeted with a nice smile and sparkling personality. It's very clean and they have a few TVs love the athletic. It was our first time so he went through menu with us. I got the impossible burger with avacado it was perfect. I indulged in a dragon fruit slushy with Tito's it was very good. My brother and son got the Shirlington Hot with regular fries and my brother got Cajuns fries. Those Cajun fries are spicy as well as the sandwich but they really enjoyed it. Last but not least my niece got a kids burger meal and she said Auntie this burger is good lol ! Overall we had a great time the service was amazing if you haven't been get definitely try it out. Our tab was like $80 but totally worth it. I love to receive amazing customer service and amazing food it really makes a difference. read more

Place is run by children and incompetents. Ordering was a complete kluge as the person at the register mumbled and couldn't use the register Waited 20 minutes for my order Chicken sandwich wasn't that good and I couldn't find condiments And the sandwich m, fries and drink wound up costing me 25.00, because the boon on the register wouldn't give me the bundle special read more

Did not want to go out tonight, but wanted a burger. DoorDash brought up Big Buns, and I'm glad it did. Great selection of burgers, I went with peppercorn. Cooked to perfection, really nicely done. Got fries too, they do the "skinny" ones that I prefer, were great. Great overall 1st impression read more

The service was really ready bad Takes so long to get your food They charge a lot for combo and they give a very small amount of fries The burger is really good but I will never go to that location again :( read more

I was not at all impressed. You walk up to a counter to order an over priced burger. They bring it to you at your table. My burger was just okay. I did like that they had the Maine Root fountain soda. My daughter ordered the Shirlington hot chicken sandwich. The cashier warned her that it was super spicy but my daughter order it anyways. My daughter loved it and said it was hot and bothered her chapped lips but has since asked for it again. I would come again if others wanted to go but I wouldn't choose it own my own. read more

This is the second time going to a Big Buns. Never again! Undercooked, who can take a bite of a 5 inch burger? soggy bottom bun. don't waste money on parmesan fries. Way over priced. read more

This was the first time I dined in at this restaurant. I entered just past 1pm and wanted to grab a quick bite prior to a 2pm appointment. As I waited, I quickly noticed only 2 associates working. Customers were waiting a long time and seemed very unhappy. One customer cancelled their order due to the wait. I was waiting just about 30 minutes before I inquired about my order. I ended up receiving the food at 1:53pm, giving me 7 minutes to eat my lunch. Nothing about this experience, service, ambience, or value would bring me back or encourage me to refer others. read more

Good food, fun atmosphere good service. I'll definitely go back. I'm forced to write more so... here ya go Lol read more

One of the best burgers i had in a long time Ordering at the kiosk was simple Custom option and single burger option was awesome Definitely will be back read more

Decent place. Chicken sandwich's were pretty good! Burger was raw so will order well done next time.

Great burger. Really impressed with the service here. We were greeted at the door. The ordering process was seamless. We sat outside and the order was brought to us - burger was hot and delicious. I had the halal burger on the brioche bun with mushrooms pickles and mayo and ketchup. I compared this burger to other places I've been and this one is my favorite so far. Tables outside are nice. My fiancé had bbq sauce on his burger and he loved it. He said there wasn't too much bbq sauce. Someone even came to help us clean up the table. All the staff seemed engaged and this was a busy night. Will definitely be back. read more

Great staff and clean business. I enjoyed the burger but do I prefer the five guys across the street... maybe. Great spot for a quick bite!

This place is just aight. I got the peppercorn burger, nothing special. The Cajun fries are way oversalted and seasoned. They do have good sauces, but the burger just isn't that flavorful. In addition the burger had two bits of hard bone in it, almost cracked my teeth. Not a good look. The lost fox across the street has a much better burger. read more

Great burgers !! Delicious The fries and thin and crispy The drinks were yum ! Watermelon lemonade or ginger pear were my favs Would def go again read more

This place just opened up and replaced Elevation Burger in One Loudoun. I got the cajun fries which were good but nothing special. I got the collaboration burger since I was a fan of pickled onions but the beef patty was a little overcooked. Overall presentation and customer service were good and I will be back to try the Chicken Sammie and the cocktail they serve. read more

Great big overpriced juicy burger. It is a damn good burger probably best in Ashburn area.
