    It was as good as it looks!  Also they have spicy mustard and jalapeños

    Summary- I craved a burger for about a week. I had many choices, I came here. It was fantastic. Okay here's the deal. I've been dieting all year. I needed to diet to lose weight for reasons that don't matter to this review. I came here to enjoy a burger I allow myself every three months. It was friggen fantastic. They offer many different meat selections and you can build your own burger. The fries are excellent because again they offer many choices on flavors including Tater tots (which I think is a good idea because not everyone likes French fries. I ordered a burger, canna fries and a soda. I ended up finishing one burger and ordering another because you only live once and three months is a long period of time. My wife ordered th impossible burger meat and tater tots and a soda and she enjoyed her meal as well. The dining room is small but comfortable. The service is good because the are very customer focused and friendly and they even have small activities like coloring pages for the kids. Also they have a patio that allows for some casual seating outside. Parking is plentiful

    The Collaboration Burger and side of Fries
    Andrew C.

    I have mixed reviews about this place. I had the Collaboration Burger, side of fries, and a water cup which came up to $17. My co-worker got the Hot & Hefe burger, fries, fountain drink and a beer that came up over $30. I enjoyed the Collaboration burger. It was cooked to medium as requested. The sweetness of the pickled onion gave it a really nice contrast. By the 3rd bite in, unfortunately, the bottom bun had soaked in all the juices from the patty and toppings, thus causing it to be soggy and unsupportive. My co-workers Hot and Hefe burger was ordered to medium, however, the center was still rare. The side of fries while looks like a good amount in photos, both my coworker and I agreed the portion of fries could be bigger. I did like this Fairfax location had an outdoor patio seating area with shades and not much cars driving by, so it was quiet. Should I return here, I think I would only get a burger next time. 3.5 overall.

    I've been here twice and they have gotten my order wrong on both occasions. The service is great. The frontline gnetlemen at the front counter were great on both visits. The ambiance and atmosphere is cool, modern and welcoming. The food, I'm just not 100% certain since they have gotten it wrong both times I've decided to come here, and it's not cheap! First time, I ordered a burger well done and when it arrived it was totally pink inside. The second time, I asked for some of the fixings on the side, food to go. When I got home it was not on the side and it was all mixed on the burger. Will I give them a 3rd try? I'm just not so sure.

    The Peppercorn Steakhouse

    Grabbed a tasty burger at Big Buns in Fairfax. There is plenty of parking in this strip center. The restaurant has an outside seating area as well as a some tables inside. The individual taking orders was very accommodating and took the time to check on ingredients for a dairy allergy in our party. We had one speciality burger-Pepper corn Steakhouse. The burger is stacked high with Gruyère, Fried Onion Straws, Sautéed Mushrooms, Lettuce, Tomato and Tellicherry Peppercorn Mayo. This burger was outstanding. Another order the special Blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich and thought it was a little spicy for her but enjoyed it. Lastly a create your own burger was order and devoured. Everyone was very satisfied and we will be back to have burgers and try the shakes which look very good.

    My husband and I had been wanting to try this place forge longest time as we love trying a new burger spot. Clean and friendly staff. I ordered the Fricken Good Fried Chicken Sandwich. Burger and fries were good, but man was it expensive!

    Nothing like a great burger and fries on this cold, windy and rainy day!!! Service was great and you can either order in person, on the easy-to-use kiosk, the QR code, and online. It's a chill atmosphere with a menu full of variety. They even have shakes, sodas, and even some liquor and beer if you shall prefer.

    Heavy handed on the salt woke up in the middle of the night after eating and was super parched. Choose delivery and of course the food arrived cold which is the worse for my French fries ordered, I could microwave but that changes it. Overall was not bad though

    Peppercorn Steakhouse Burger

    Amazing Angus Beef Burgers! Explored the Fairfax restaurant, the outfit had a very casual vibe with courteous staff. Besides the popular classic burgers, they are serving various designer beef burgers. I really loved the PEPPERCORN STEAKHOUSE Burger! It's Angus Beef patty with Gruyère, Fried Onion Straws, Sautéed Mushrooms, Lettuce, Tomato, Tellicherry Peppercorn Mayo sauce ! The Angus Beef served here is Halal. Fortunate to meet Alex BB's COO, who provided more insights to the various restaurants they are operating. Requested him to introduce halal chicken too in Fairfax restaurant!

    Stumbled upon this place around lunch time. Looks promising and we will return. Decent sized portions. Many churro milkshake tasted like it had a chocolate base. My Mexican burger was okay, needed more chips for texture and salt pepper in the meat.Extremely bland. The soda from tap was yummy. Had blueberry. Service was good also. Bathrooms clean. So I would return. But I'm bringing my salt pepper and hot sauce .

    "Parmesan Truffle" Fries
    Ryan C.

    It's been a while since we went to a Big Buns and we were craving a burger so we made the drive to this location. It was our first time here too. It's located where the Amazon Fresh is. Despite that, the parking lot had plenty of spots. The location itself isn't too big, a few tables inside and also a good amount outside. We ordered two bundles, one Anniversary and one Collaboration. We swapped out the fries with the Parmesan Truffle Fries and the Jammin' Sprouts. Their fountain drinks are pretty solid as well as the juices. The flavors and toppings of the burgers were as good as we remembered.. One of the issues we had was we were asked what temp we wanted for the burgers and we asked for medium and medium rare for each but both came out medium well to well. Not the end of the world because the burgers tasted great. The biggest issue was the up charge on the parmesan truffle fries and what I got. For an extra $5.50(!) just for a small sprinkle of cheese (no truffle) is a bad deal. You can see in the pictures but the parmesan truffle fries are $9.50 alone and it is such a small portion for that. Kind of disappointing with the up charge and what we received but still a solid burger and decent drinks. Service was friendly though and was not an issue.

    Some drink selections.

For years ever since I left Knoxville, I have been trying to find a solid burger and I think I found a place that I can see myself going to over and over. We came to know about Social Burger through our friends. We had take out the first time, but our second time we went to the restaurant ourselves and we were not disappointed. The portions are good and I would say the portions are always bigger when it comes to when you eat at the restaurant compared to when you're doing takeout. I've gotten the Social Burger (Signature) both times and it was great. My next visit I'll try something different, but right now the signature is my go to. I would definitely see myself coming back to Social Burger if I have a burger craving.

Finally coming in for lunch did not disappoint. We tried their "3 Bites & Small Plates" deal for $25, and it was absolutely worth it. We went with the feta dip (of course), cheddar cheese curds, and tikka masala meatballs. For a non-Indian restaurant, the tikka masala was surprisingly on point - really flavorful and well-balanced. The cheese curds were super satisfying, especially dipped into the sauces they come with. But the star of the show is still the hot honey feta dip. The bread is lightly charred, giving it a subtle smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the warm, salty, gooey feta and sweet honey. It's one of those dishes you think about after you leave. For drinks, I had the Wild Blueberry Lemon Drop - very refreshing and definitely on the stronger side (it is a martini, so no complaints). We also tried the watermelon margarita - pro tip: ask for it with tajin, it makes a huge difference. For entrées, we got the lunch grilled cheese and tomato soup, which was exactly what you'd hope for - comforting and classic. We added candied bacon to the grilled cheese and didn't regret it at all. We also had the quarter pound burger, which tasted fresh and really hit the spot. The fries were perfect - crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. And yes - I loved the hot honey feta dip so much that I actually ordered it as my entrée too, no regrets at all. The staff was welcoming and helpful, and the overall vibe inside is very chill and lowkey. We sat outside by the fireplace, and even with the weather warming up, it was surprisingly comfortable with the fans going. Definitely recommend - whether you're dining in or ordering out, you can't go wrong here!
