    Parmesan Truffle Fries
    Niki T.

    I really wanted to love this place. Menu is exciting, desserts are outrageously fun! Location is weird. At metro stations and not the easiest to get to. Prices add up quickly... Fries were disappointing and soggy. We got Cajun and truffle. Ordered a burger medium well, got it extra rare. Was eating in the car so no way to heat it back up. Appreciate gluten free bun options, staff is knowledgeable about changing gloves. Burger flavors were good. Average I guess. My husband ended up with 2 bottom bun pieces and my kid ended up with 2 top bun pieces. But the kid loved both top pieces and it was with the chicken sandwich which was really loved, they would go back just for that. Probably wouldn't go back to this location, but I see they have a lot all over the place so willing to try other ones.

    This is the whole order of Parmesan tater tots. $5. The chicken nugz was even smaller - 6 weakly nuggets - $9.50.

    We ordered from big buns via Uber Eats, which was a bad start. But this review isn't about Uber Eats, it's about the ludicrously small portions and ridiculous prices for the tater tots and the chicken nugz. $70 for two sides and two burgers... You could put more than $0.50 worth of product into it. Definitely won't order from you via Uber Eats anymore, and probably won't patronize you at all.

    If you're in the mood for a delicious burger this is your place. The burgers are super juicy. The chicken sandwich is really fresh. I enjoyed the Parmesan fries. The Brussels sprouts has a good kick too it. I enjoyed my slushie and milkshake. Customer service was decent. Everyone is super friendly and informative with recommendations. Due to the area parking is a bit chaotic and busy

    BLUF: Too expensive for a dinky fast-food burger, barely a handful of fries, and a shake. The only thing worth it was the self-serve yummy soft drinks. Service with a smile nor a warm welcome nor above & beyond aren't mottos here. Venue was clean enough & I think fairly accessible for those who roll & walk. The burger. Tasty meat patty but waaaaaay too greasy. Like dripping greasy not just glistening greasy. The top half of the bun was toasted and lukewarm & the bottom bun was cold as ice and not toasted...like they probably dropped the original bun & replaced it with its cold, less tasty stand-in. How could they think no one would notice the cold, untoasted bun?!?! The first bite was good because I could taste the meat, but a few bites in & there was just too much goop on the burger that I couldn't taste the meat anymore. The patty was thick because I requested it to be cooked medium, but I'd estimate maybe a 3inch in diameter sammich as a whole. That would be great if it were a $6 or $7 burger. The fries were crispy but cold & barely filled up its little side dish boat. Seemed like I got the bottom of the fry pan that had been sitting there awhile because they didn't want to drop some fresh fries in the fryer. The shake. It was tasty but so not worth $8! No way no how is a shake made with soft serve, some oreo cookie crumbs, and canned whipped cream worthy of that high of a price tag. Was it worth the drive? No. Was it worth $26? No. Will I be going back? Definitely not. The service alone wasn't inviting & the food at that price point wasn't outstanding enough for me to make the drive & tolerate the service. The search continues for the burger joint that has it all!

    Ambiance 4/5 clean family place, full of families with rowdy kids. Service 4/5 counter person whispered and I couldn't understand her. Food 5/5 good medium well burger and thin fries The fountain drinks are not Coke or Pepsi products - they included root beer, blueberry orange, Mexican cola. We also enjoyed a strawberry shake.

    Looks good right? Well, it was MEDIOCRE.

    Looks good right? Well, it was MEDIOCRE. $19.07 for a combo that does not hit the spot. I asked for medium well and i got a well done meat bc why? They PRE-cook all the burgers. Be prepared for the shredded lettuce to fall all over your lap. They couldn't spare a whole leaf lettuce. I asked to warm the buns.... Got nothing but cold buns and ignored my request. The manager was VERY pushy, whom lacked of great customer service. He rushes you to order like a McD drive thru. This place is NOT THE burger place. I would NOT recommend. Craving a juicy burger? Go ELSEWHWERE. Manager- I want a refund and a better experience.

    ANNIVERSARY BRGR
    Bobby S.

    The only thing I regret is how long it took me to come here... Here I am a lover of burgers... always in search of a great chicken sandwich that overflows past the bun... delicious hot chicken sandwiches like Hattie B's... heat that lingers just long enough but a good flavored burn... not pain for no reason! Could there be a place that serves both a great burger and a great chicken sandwich?!? They're like a mystical unicorn! Well... I think I found it! I really hate myself for settling for so many average burgers and chicken sandwiches... The owners and chef must love food and you can tell by the quality food they put out! I really NEED EVERYONE to come and blow this place up... I can't have this place disappear when fast food places and low quality food places stay afloat! You can't go wrong with the anniversary burger and the way the caramelized onions complement the thick bacon... the buns are perfect chewiness and the patties are not too smashed... tender to every bite! The decor is beautiful and modern... the owners literally put soooo much thought into everything!!! Make your way immediately if you are a foodie or a burger connoisseur!

    Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Soooo good!
    Mark S.

    Saw someone post about this place on Instagram. Decided to check it out. Drove 30 min here and the place was empty besides one other small family. We ordered the kids burger and tenders for the kids and my wife asked if they had a lettuce version of their burgers and they actually said they can make any of their burgers into a lettuce bowl version. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich since I've never had one and then we ordered a couple of soda fountain cups. My wife said her breadless burger was delicious and the best she's ever tasted. I've never had a Nashville hot chicken sandwich before but most seem to look dry or bland. This hot chicken sandwich was so good. Had a really nice kick to it, some sauce on it, and slaw as well. It was soooo good. The manager came by to ask us how the food was and I was already done with my burger before anyone at our table was halfway done. Also the fries are fresh shoe string style fries that tastes so good too! They have regular soda from their fountain but also have a handful of gourmet drinks. All were very flavorful and refreshing! Our kid of course wanted the unicorn milkshake dessert. It was huge and they loved it. And the best part is they let you keep the small unicorn inflatable. Also the kids meals are served on small frisbees as plates! I told my wife we could keep them and she didn't believe me. She asked one of the workers and he said, "of course! They are yours to keep and come with each kids meal". A frisbee is so much cooler than a cheap McDonald's toy lol. Really impressed with this burger place. It is a hike at 30 min away but worth it!

The buffalo wings, both mild and medium, were perfectly saucy and crispy with a good quality meat used. The potato skins shouldn't be slept on either, they were quite tasty and cheesy. We did get two mains, the chili mac and the chicken parm sub. Both were pretty mid- not bad but not as amazing as the appetizers. The chili mac should have been made on actual spaghetti and I think it would jazz it up. The chicken parm sub was good but too dry. Overall good service, good vibes, amazing apps.

The food was absolutely incredible -- the burgers were perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. You can really tell they care about quality. What made the experience even more special was the outstanding service. Our server, Coleman, was so kind, attentive, and genuinely warm throughout our visit. On top of that, the manager, Adrian Hernandez, personally came by our table multiple times to check in, made sure our food allergies were carefully handled, and went out of his way to ensure every detail of our meal was just right. His attention and genuine care really elevated our entire experience. As a family with a special needs child, dining out can sometimes be challenging, but the entire team went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcomed. They were incredibly patient, kind, and very attentive to our needs, which meant so much to us. This wasn't just a great meal -- it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We will absolutely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service!

It provides a steakhouse-like burger experience, with an extensive wine list and a variety of cocktails. We visited for breakfast, and their breakfast burger was excellent--juicy and satisfying. The pancake was simple yet delicious, topped with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and plenty of blueberries. The applewood-smoked bacon and egg on a brioche burger were okay. However, the coffee was disappointing: the cappuccino was too acidic, and the café latte was more like a café au lait with lots of milk. Service was adequate, but the upscale ambiance felt outdated and in need of upgrades. The nearby parking garage operated by Hyatt charges for parking, unlike other garages in Reston Town Center, which are free on Sundays. Street parking is also free on Sundays with a 2-hour limit, so avoid parking at the Hyatt garage.

    This was my second visit to this location…read more As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by staff members. They let me check out the place before being seated. The bar area is self-seating.I chose to sit in the bar area...the only remaining big table with high chairs/table...it was packed! The happy hour is pretty awesome here. They have daily happy hour from 4-6 pm, which is pretty awesome, starting early and ending late. There is also a power hour from 3-6, where everything on the happy hour menu is $5, which is a little early!! The menu includes regular bar food and a variety of drinks (as shown in the picture). We ordered the following: -Let that "man"go - in general it's an iced drink, so I'd avoid. -Spicy pina marg - another iced drink. It was ok. -I'm Ron Burgundy (2x)- this had a nice strong coffee flavor, doesn't come with ice; I would highly recommend it...they made it so good!!! -Maker's mini nachos - There proportion of chips to toppings was off there wasn't enough toppings and too many chips, but there was a lot of cheese. -Calamari was a good portion, and tasty -Chicken tenders - they were delicious and moist There are so many items to choose from on the power hour/happy hour menu. I would definitely recommend lil B and the wings. There was live music, which was just way too loud for such a small space. We would have been okay with all the music.
