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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Parmesan Truffle Fries and Burger
Alex K.

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.

Classic burger with fries
Stefan S.

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.

Hubs orders his fav - the Philly Cheesesteak. Our friend, the world traveler ordered the noodle soup - which he devoured - and, the salmon salad. He clearly enjoyed his meal. A few days later, he's traveling again and reviewed a meal at a place in another town, in another country... "The salmon was just OK.

We had such an amazing dining experience at Capital Burger in Reston, Virginia! From the moment we…read morewalked in, everything exceeded our expectations. 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. There is plenty of parking available in nearby garages, I believe free after 5pm. There is also timed/paid parallel parking. Would I return? definitely!
