Bacon cheese burger
Tonya H.

I just came here on a whim after a doctors appointment. It was very clean on the inside. The service was great. The cashier was very friendly and informative. The burger was flavorful and tater tots were amazing and fresh. I will definitely be back.

French fries
Joy B.

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.

Cherry blossom shake
C. R.

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...

Beets Sprouts & Harmony Bowl with grilled chicken
Doris C.

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!

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

Big Buns Bundle - CLASSIC BURGER,  FRIES BLACKBERRY LEMONADE FRESH FRUIT JUICES
Darrell L.

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.

HORSERADISH BOURBON BURGER
Jessica D.

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.

Haj R.

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.

ANNIVERSARY BRGR and FRICKEN GOOD FRIED CHICKEN and CAJUN FRIES
Jessica E.

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.

I asked for medium. What I got was (barely) rare)
Bob T.

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.

They have a great selection of burgers and hot dogs with options to customize your bun, toppings, and doneness. We ordered two classic cheeseburgers on brioche rolls and split an order of the loaded fries. The food quality was great! The ingredients were fresh and much better than you would get at a chain restaurant. The loaded fries were filling and delicious too! I also appreciated that my well-done burger was juicy, but wasn't greasy. My husband and I will definitely be back the next time we're craving a quality burger and fries!

I needed something on my stomach and order a cheeseburger, minus the cheese and mayo. It's served on a brioche bun that wasn't the freshest, but I always eat around bread on a burger, so it was no biggy. As for the burger, it was fantastic. Cooked to order. This is a burger shack. There's not much seating and zero ambiance. Their menu looks interesting, and the fact that the cook to your preference makes this way better than chain options. I'd come back if I happen through here again. By the way, the person who reviewed below, complaining of the environment, it the primary reason you have to question many low ratings. This place is very solid.

Very good customer service, especially by the management team and they were very present and made sure that I was enjoying my experience dining there. The ambiance was very relaxing and not noisy or chaotic. I really appreciated that because that is hard to find nowadays. Also, the table was set well and it was very clean throughout the dining area. I had their Roasted Wild Mushroom and Swiss Burger. It was very good. I loved that they use Pat La Frieda beef for their burger patties, the mushrooms were so flavorful from the balsamic vinegar, the Jarlsberg Swiss cheese had a nice mild cheesy touch, and their truffle aioli was the best savory sauce to complement it all. 9.5/10 for the burger and 10/10 for the customer service. I definitely will be back soon.

Yummy! Bella was our server and cordial. There was a mix up on delivery but the next table and us cracked up laughing.

Stopped at Makers Union in Reston on a rainy Sunday afternoon after taking our dog to the dog park…read more We sat outside on the patio with Onyx, and our server Kenny was great. When the rain started becoming an issue, he actually moved the umbrellas together to make sure Onyx had a dry spot. Really appreciated that. We started with a Bourbon Club and the Nitro Espresso Martini, then got the buffalo wings and she-crab soup. The wings can be grilled or fried and we went grilled, which was definitely the right call. Good char on them and I'd get them the same way again. The she-crab soup was also really good and perfect for a rainy afternoon. For lunch we had the French dip and the Reuben, and subbed the mac and cheese for one of the sides. Both sandwiches were solid, but the mac and cheese deserves a mention of its own. Definitely worth the substitution. Good food, good drinks, and especially good service from Kenny. Being able to hang out on the patio with our dog without the rain ruining lunch made the whole experience even better.

First time at Makers Union and it definitely didn't disappoint! Great atmosphere for a date night,…read moregroup gathering, or family dinner (like we did). We had Mackenzie as our server and immediately connected because she's a foodie like me. At her suggestion, I got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich but swapped the grilled chicken for fried. She had me at bacon. I mean, what doesn't go well with bacon? The chicken was crispy without being greasy and all the flavors just worked. My son had the chicken and waffles. Chicken was perfectly crispy, although the batter was a little sweeter than I prefer. I'm more of a Southern, savory fried chicken person. We asked for hot sauce to add to the maple syrup and Mackenzie upped it by bringing us hot honey instead. YES! Makers Union, add that to the menu. Promise you, it'll be a hit. You can thank Mackenzie for that one! Hubby had the fish and chips. His first reaction was, "Is that all?" Turns out, it was more than enough and really flavorful. The food was great, but honestly, Mackenzie made the experience. When your server understands food AND is a great people person, that's a winning combination. Great first visit and we'll definitely be back!

Chicken caesar wrap- chicken isn't spicy. Seasoned well. Salad was well dressed but not overdressed. Ate the second half the next day and it held up well. The tortilla doesn't get soggy overnight. Some bites were a little salty because cheese isn't evenly distributed. Same goes for chicken- the cross section photo I took looks like too much salad to chicken ratio, but the chicken ended up being on the bottom of the wraps. It comes with extra Caesar dressing but doesn't need it at all. Tortilla is excellent-- great chew. $10 for a giant wrap- great price. Snack wrap- 2 for $5 and it tastes closer to McDonald's OG snack wrap than McDonald's current snack wrap. Chicken is significantly better than McDonald's and great price point. 2 sandwiches with fries is $12.99. Great deal. I have the lowest heat tolerance but I can stand to eat extra hot (albeit sweating). Their Cole slaw on its own is dry but goes so well with sandwiches. The slaw has cilantro so it tastes herby and makes the sandwich more interesting. Also adds a nice crunch. Fries don't hold up well but reheat well and become crispy in an air fryer. Yellow sauce tastes like honey mustard. Big bird sauce tastes like diluted bbq mayo. Service and ambiance- fast casual, friendly.
