    bad burger

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Why do they hate me?

    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.

    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.

    Seating outdoors

    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.

    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.

    MELT Gourmet Cheeseburgers must be operated by culinary lunatics. I mean that as the highest…read morepossible compliment. A normal person looks at a hamburger and asks, "Would you like cheese on that?" The people at MELT apparently look at one and ask, "How can we make this so extraordinary that customers begin questioning whether everything they previously called a burger was actually just meat occupying bread?" I ordered the Paris Burger: Premium beef char-grilled with roasted garlic, then topped with melted French Brie, balsamic-glazed onions, baby spinach, and a smear of Dijon mustard on a house-made bun. This ingredient list sounds less like a hamburger and more like several upscale appetizers became trapped in an elevator and decided to form a government. I do not know what kind of inspired nut job first assembled this combination, but everything contributes to everything else. The Brie, roasted garlic, sweet richness of the balsamic-glazed onions, spinach, and Dijon do not compete for attention; they cooperate with suspicious precision. The flavor is exquisite. This should not be placed in the same category as ordinary burgers unless the category is titled "Round Foods That Technically Contain Beef." And then there is the bun. Most hamburger buns eventually choose one of two career paths: Damp sponge or roofing material. This one rejected both. It was cooked to that nearly mythical point between soft and soggy, firm and crunchy. It supported the burger without collapsing, disintegrating, or scraping the roof of my mouth like an edible Brillo pad. Perfection. For a side, I ordered the sweet potato fries. They were already very good, which apparently was considered insufficient by the resident mad scientists. Someone had the completely unreasonable idea of serving them with marshmallow fluff. Marshmallow fluff. With sweet potato fries. This sounds like a suggestion made at 2:00 a.m. by someone who should have been politely escorted away from the kitchen. Instead, that person may be a genius. The combination is incredible. The salty sweet potato fries dipped in marshmallow fluff produced one of those moments when your brain objects on principle while your hand quietly reaches for another fry. This proves that not every insane idea is crazy; some merely require dipping sauce. I also had the Thin Mint shake, which was excellent except for the only legitimate complaint I could manufacture during the entire meal: It came with an ordinary straw. Every attempt to drink it became a small plumbing emergency when a piece of Thin Mint lodged in the opening. Sip, blockage, investigate, clear obstruction, repeat. I was not drinking a milkshake so much as performing routine maintenance on a delicious cookie pipeline. A proper milkshake straw would eliminate the one defect in an otherwise outstanding operation. This was not merely a good meal from a burger joint. It was a culinary experience disguised as casual food. The Paris Burger was phenomenal, the fries and marshmallow fluff were an act of benevolent madness, and even my complaint involves the shake containing too many actual pieces of Thin Mint to pass through standard beverage infrastructure. MELT is almost worth traveling to Virginia for by itself. If the people running this place are insane, nobody intervene. Whatever treatment would make them normal might ruin the menu.
