I needed a filling yet easy lunch after a long travel day, and Big Buns satisfied. It's conveniently located right near the Wiehle-Reston East metro stop, so I just had to stroll out of the station and right in the door. The staff was welcoming and helpful. I got the peppercorn steakhouse burger on a gluten free bun, and it was an epic stack! Really savory, with nicely sautéed mushrooms hitting the spot. (Remove the onion straws to make it fully gluten free.) There are a bunch of other restaurants and a Starbucks in the plaza, so there are other eating options as well. But I'm glad I picked Big Buns for this meal. read more

Big Buns - The bright interior of Big Buns / Nov 2025 - Burgers Near Me - Reston, Virginia

My son and I decided to try this place after exercising on the bike path through Reston (W&OD Trail) on Sat 4/4/26. Bacon cheeseburger cooked medium well, fries and Cherry Blossom Shake....all were outstanding and tasted fresh! Restaurant was very clean, staff was friendly and order came quick after I placed it online after we finished exercising. Order was ready by the time we walked into store. No complaints. We'll be back... read more

Food was below average and it's not cheap. Also a bit out of the way, unless your at the metro station

Well, it has been 3 years since my last review and these burgers still slay, as my granddaughters would say. The size and taste of these burgers is amazing. They are super delicious. I can't finish one in a sitting, because they are so large. They are a quality burger with attention to detail. The bun tastes like a brioche roll. I love the crisp bacon and pickled onions. Service is great. We always have our order ready and waiting. The ambiance is nice. It is clean, modern, and comfortable. I just love this place. Three years later and they are still doing an excellent job. read more

Let's hope this was an off night. They left three things off the to go order, the Nugz were cooked to death and the burger was good, but not cooked to the ordered temperature. Hope they do better for everyone else. read more

Service was super kind. My beets and sprouts bowl was 90% great; texturally and flavor wise. The unfortunate 10% was the grilled chicken. It was kind of dry and tough. Everyone else ordered other things and loved it; my mistake was the grilled chicken as a protein. They bring the food to where you're sitting and bus the table for you; really amazing service! read more

Late evening and very undecided So I'm working right next to Big Buns and I can't remember if I've eaten here before So tonight's our night Walk in to a really nice playlist and I now know I've made the right choice Resturant is bright and clean I'm greeted by the manager and one of the employees (really nice interaction) You can order from their kiosk (not complex) I had checked out the menu on my ride over so I breezed through. I ordered the Parmesan Truffle fries and the 9th Year Anniversary burger. Rushing I removed all the toppings and the manager had the kitchen fix it for me Wait time was no more than 10 minutes.... Food was hot Note babeee those fries were errting I was truly pleased with my burger also Key points that I would return 1. Clean space 2. Quality of service 3. Staff was awesome They offer Happy Hour 3-6pm with specials Definitely a WINNER read more

Burger joints everywhere...5 Guys, Shake Shack, BGR, Burger 21, Social Burger...and I'm not even mentioning the old fast food standbys. Well, Big Buns has been expanding pretty steadily and we just haven't really been compelled to try another burger joint....but...my son has been hearing good things about Big Buns so we head to the Reston location which is right at the Wiehle Metro. They have numerous specialty burgers with different toppings if you are into that (i.e. avocado, egg, mushrooms, carmelized onions, etc). We opt for the Bug Buns Bundle for $13.99 which is a 7 oz classic burger with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles and ketchup. You also get fries and a drink. Not a bad deal. The burger comes out and you can tell it is fresh not frozen with good beefy flavor. The bun is a nice brioche bun. My son says it tastes like a 'backyard bbq' type burger...which is a good thing. Fries are shoestring type fries and are crunchy. Overall, a good burger that hits the spot when you are craving a tasty fresh burger. read more

Overwhelmed but only 30% full. Took over 30 min to just pour a beer (no food). Yet they keep taking orders.... People must be waiting an hour. Just a mess.

These are some HUGE Buns, loving ts so much , I nearly busted from huge these buns are. Bussin MY G That chicken Sammie was so good.

Great options and delicious burgers. You'll definitely be full after a meal here. I've also enjoyed the beets and harmony bowl. I think this may be one of my favorite items to get here with the fried chicken. I usually go with the mushroom horseradish burger (hold the horseradish) - it's got lots of flavor. Staff is friendly and service is usually pretty quick. Your bill will add up pretty quickly here however, prices are a bit higher in general. read more

Stumbled upon this place coming off the Metro (next to Starbucks). Provided a variety of burgers and fries. Burgers are made to order and with me coming at the beginning of the lunch hour on a Saturday - my food came out quickly. Food is delicious (see my pic). Prices are a little high but worth it. Only negative is they serve fountain drinks that are non Pepsi or non Coke. Took me a while to decide what I wanted to drink - went with the Pear drink (even though I wanted a Diet Coke. Great burger place. I will come again. read more

Lot's that was good, one thing, not so much. Firstly, the good stuff. There was plenty of inside parking, which was free with the restaurant's validation. Also, the Big Buns entrance is just a few steps from the garage, so it's very convenient. The place was spotless, and the staff kept cleaning when they weren't doing anything else. And one of the things they were doing when they weren't cleaning was to be very pleasant and helpful. I ordered their "special," a Classic burger (with everything), fries, and a soda.. Everything tasted great, and the only issue was with how my burger was prepared. I ordered it medium. What I got was (barely) rare. It tasted OK and could have been even better if it had been cooked as I requested. I could have sent it back, I guess, but it *was* tasty and I was hungry. If I ever do go back, I'll ask for Medium Well and be more insistent if it comes out with a cool red center. read more

We've been here a few times. It doesn't feel fancier, cleaner, or nicer than any other fast food joint. The service isn't any better. The reason we stop in? The fries. They're five stars all the way. STOP IN FOR THE FRIES!! That is all. read more

One of the best burgers I've had! My husband and I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and the anniversary burger (one of the more popular items) with Cajun fries. Service was great - they are so friendly! Great sizing and portion and so flavorful. The caramelized onion on the burger was *chefs kiss*. The Cajun fries are perfectly crisp and has good amount of Cajun spice. Parking is a little tricky but we frequent founding farmers so we typically park in the garage right below. read more

Great food, ample parking and excellent view. Big Buns Damn Good Burgers is a need to try burger place. The people at Big Buns are excellent. They a very welcoming and accommodating. The food is also great. The burgers a large and tasty. They are not too dry nor are they soggy. The presentation of the food is also different to that of other burger shops. In stead of wrapped in some sort of wrapper it is nicely displayed on a tray and presented with a knife for those who like to cut their burgers. I like to go with the make your own option when ordering however their menu is full of burgers that look very appetizing. For those who do not eat beef or like burgers they also have some chicken burger options. I highly recommend the Parmesan Truffle Fries as a side to your meal. The location and layout of Big Buns is fantastic. It has a wonderful view of the office park that it is located in. You can also see the large screen in the office park (which displays various things throughout the year) through the large bay like windows that can be opened in good weather. In terms of seating there is both plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Parking at the office park where Big Buns is located is pay to park, however, Big Buns validate park which is convenient. You just have to bring your ticket inside and scan it near the register. With great customer service, great tasting food and having an excellent location I would not be surprised to see Big Buns Damn Good Burger expanding more and more over the upcoming years. This is definitely a place to try if you're a burger fan. read more

Service was good. Nice selection of music. They have one tv that was playing Sunday football. It's clean. I ordered the BYOB with angus beef, cheddar, duck butter, and anniversary mustard, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo. I asked for it medium well. It came out medium. They made me another burger and gave me a brownie for the inconvenience. Also I ordered the Parmesan truffle fries and Oreo shake. Both were good. Oh the burger was good. The pickles on the burger gave a nostalgic taste. The burger could be a little more seasoned. Overall a good quality burger. read more

I have been here multiple times and the food is great. I love the fun milkshakes like the one that comes with a mini unicorn floaty!

Been wanting to try the burgers here since they opened, so opted to order curbside pickup. Just ordered the classic burger, angus beef, and added standard toppings with no sauce. I noticed that you couldn't order the burger Medium rare, which is my preference, so I ordered it medium. When I took my first bite, it was much closer to medium rare, which was fine for me but others expected it to be more cooked in the center might not be too happy. I ordered the Cajun fries, the ones with Old Bay, Cayenne, and Paprika. I was very disappointed in the fries. They were cold and didn't taste very good. I also ordered the nutella milkshake, which, though good, was very small for the price. This was just an okay meal. Probably won't be back as the Counter and BGR are much better and just as close. Too expensive for just a mediocre meal. read more

First, I want to say that, yes, there is outdoor seating. However, it consists of a few picnic benches that are shared by a couple of businesses. The setup here is that you have to go inside to order your food at the counter. With that in mind, since we went for an early dinner, we opted to eat indoors. They have set things up so that there are some tables that remain unoccupied at all times. However, now it's May 28th and such restrictions are being lifted... Anyway, back to the food and dining experience. We were here on a Sunday shortly before 5 p.m. At that time, the place was empty. We walked up to the counter and placed our order. Both of us ordered the "classic burger". I topped mine with American cheese, lettuce and tomato. My husband topped his with Swiss cheese, lettuce and tomato. We both got our burgers cooked medium. To drink, I had blackberry lemonade and my husband had a bottle of water. We were given a number to put on our table. Then we chose a booth. I recommend taking a booth because the seats at the tables are basically just stools (not very comfortable). The burgers came out with very little wait time. They were thick and juicy. And, yes, they were "Damn Good"---that we both were in agreement. The only drawback was the lettuce was kind of sad---shredded and on the wilted side. Since we didn't get fries, I can't speak to how good they might be. The burger was just enough food for us. The blackberry lemonade was good---not too tart, not too sweet---just right. No one flavor predominated instead they complimented each other quite well. The bottled water was Dasani (something that my husband didn't know when ordering). He really dislikes that brand. We will definitely be back for more! read more

This is now near the top of my list for burgers. BIG, MEATY, JUICY burgers cooked to a medium-ish perfection, and so many options. I had the Hot and Hefe, and man it had a real kick. A lot of spicy burgers claim to be spicy but aren't. This delivered. I like just about everything about Big Buns except the wimpy little shoestring fries. read more

Big Buns - Hot and hefe - Burgers Near Me - Reston, Virginia

Beautiful day outside?! Yes, I'll gladly sit outdoors with my husband to enjoy the weather and grab some yummy burgers paired with the beer special to Big Buns. I really enjoyed my bites of the hot and hefe burger. The Dijon mustard in the anniversary burger was a little intense for me so I ended up trading my burger to the hot and hefe entirely. I liked the truffle fries but if you're trying to save some $, it's not that worth it. The Cajun fries were okay- tasted like fries with old bay seasoning sprinkled on top. The aioli dipping sauce paired the fries was good. Personally I enjoyed my burger- if you're looking for an artisanal burger close to home, then this is your spot! read more

The absolute worst meal experience I have had in the last five years. Not only did they get the order wrong of what should have been a simple beef patty (medium--which ended up well done), egg, cheese, bacon, and ketchup, but this mostly dry and tasteless mess (which sat in a bed of salad items on the lower bun and had soaked it soggy) was unevenly accentuated by the most over-seasoned "Cajun" fries I have ever had in 45-years on this earth (and the portion was the hand size of a toddler--legitimately not kidding--wrapped in what seemed like cheap wax paper). And despite ordering online to exacting detail, and it being ignored in full, I ended up standing in a line before one of three people doing nothing in the rear stopped staring at me and came forward to ask if me or the other guy were picking up. As for cleanliness, the inside looked like a mess. Never again will I eat from here--bleh. read more

After a long day being a tourist in DC, my family met up for dinner at Big Buns! It's moderately priced, tons of options. You can even make your burger or chicken sandwich a bowl!!! I had the BYOC...chicken sandwich..grilled chicken on a brioche bun. I added pepper Jack, grilled mushrooms and honey mustard sauce. It was tender and packed with flavor. I paired it with French fries...they were seasoned with salt and pepper and sooooo good! They have craft sodas, fruit juices and blackberry lemonade...in addition to milkshakes (virgin or with alcohol) and beer. This is a really cute place to grab food after a long day. I can't wait to return and try a burger bowl next time! read more

I'd heard a lot about Big Buns, so was super excited to try their damn good burgers! The menu consists of a bunch of designer burgers and an option to build your own. They have both veggie and impossible patties as options for vegetarians. I made my own since none of the designer burgers looked super amazing. However I wanted to cater to my own taste palate and combine specific parts of each. I got a veggie patty with lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, onions, pickled onions, jalapeños, mushrooms, sautéed onions, and honey mustard. Overall the burger was very mid. The patty was solid but wasn't anything special and was a little dry. The sauces also tastes standard. I also tried a bit of the Hot & Hefe. It was made with a veggie patty, pepper Jack cheese, avocado, grilled habanero and serano pico de gallo, and sriracha aioli. I liked it a lot better than my build your own, but again it was nothing ground breaking. I've had similar burgers before! The patty was still dry but the sandwich came together more cohesively. We also got fries and a shake on the side. The regular freis were dry and not seasoned at all. The cajun fries were seasoned super well but weren't crispy at all. I also wish they had more access and variety of dipping sauces. They charge for getting more than one! The chocolate shake was a solid addition. Overall the ambiance was dope. It's a large restaurant with open seating and lots of paper towels rolls (trust me you'll need them!). Keep in mind that food was on the pricier side. It's location at Reston Metro Center was a huge turn off. The parking garage is extremely difficult to navigate and understand. read more

Yet another burger place- I lost count of how many we now have in the Reston/ Herndon area. This one is located on the metro plaza- if you know where to park in the garage, its easy to get to, and parking is validated. The staff was superb, especially the manager on duty. Anything we needed they took care of, and were super friendly. But the burgers were just plain ok. The kids burger is a decent size, but was a little too plain tasting for my daughter. Same for my burger- I went with the collaboration burger, and it was fine, but nothing special. The bacon jam was a disappointment and barely even perceptible. The fries were ok, but lacking any kind of seasoning. read more

My first time have delivery from big buns was a couple weeks ago. Although I try to maintain healthy eating throughout the weeks my one cheat day requires something worth cheating for. Burgers are fresh and so flavorful you know the quality of your food after every bite.

I first heard about this place during their pop up at Maker's Union at Reston Town Center. And I have to say, it's a damn good burger. My husband and I had the peppercorn steakhouse and frecken good fried chicken and both were tasty. The peppercorn steakhouse was everything I wanted in a burger. Angus patty cooked perfectly medium with the salty gruyere cheese, fresh tomatoes and lettuce, crunchy fried onion straws, and yes, I can taste peppercorn. The fried chicken sandwich wasn't dry and extra crispy, even with takeout. It was a damn good chicken sandwich. I came to this location when they opened in Reston and each visit did not disappoint. Another burger that we liked was the horseradish bourbon burger. The Shirlington Hot chicken sandwich was good but beware, it is spicy. It had all kinds of hot pepper mixes that made it more unique than the typical Nashville hot sauce. The chicken was moist and the flavors were bold. Do yourself a favor and order the parmesan truffle fries and jammin' sprouts. Those are excellent sides. The shakes are good; though I've not had a bad shake before. We got the unicorn shake once for our daughter. Which toddler can say no to a strawberry shake topped with rainbow sprinkles, sour patch candy, ginormous marshmallows, served in an inflatable unicorn? She still plays with that inflatable unicorn in the bath. read more

*BEST BURGERS WITH FRESH INGREDIENTS* I've ordered almost everything on the menu and these ppl really know how to cook a burger with super fresh ingredients. If you're anything like me, I always order medium/rare and rare for steaks...but in America they always overcook everything smh. Big buns truly knows the real definition of meat cooking "doneness".

Another burger place in Reston, but this one is actually really yummy. Here's why you should go: 1. Meat and veggie patty options for all burgers, 2. All the fries (regular, truffle, cheese, cajun), 3. Sauces beyond ketchup and mustard, 4. Boozy milkshakes. The burgers are HUGE (1/2 lb?) so you may not need the fries or brussel sprouts on the side... but no one's judging. They have outdoor seating in the form of picnic-style benches and a small counter area. Parking is easy in the Park X garage or you can hop right off the Reston-Wiehle metro stop and get your fix. read more
