Beat burger I've had in a couple of years. Thick, juicy, cooked to order, flavorful, superb bun. Bumps Social Burger to my #2 in Vienna and Social is damn good read more

Big Buns - Burger with Swiss, onions and jalapenos. - Burgers Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

It's damn good! I got their hot chicken sandwich and found it to be the closest to the real thing (in Nashville) in the DC metro area. Most of the hot chicken sandwiches around here either have a Korean spin or are just not in the same vein as Nashville hot chicken, but Big Buns hits the nail on the head! Their selection of juices was very tasty and a nice change from the typical soda fountain. The store was clean and comfortable inside, but it took a while to get my order despite ordering ahead and arriving on time. I'll forgive them as they're still fairly new and the end result was delicious! read more

Our favorite burger spot and so supportive of the community. Top notch quality, good prices and kind staff, every time!

OMG!! The FRICKIN' GOOD FRIEND CHICKEN sandwich was amazingly delicious. It took me back to my grandmother special friend chicken sandwich she use to make for me. read more

I've been wanting to try Big Buns for a burger. Today was that day. It was just okay - a mix of good and bad. I'll start with the good first. Inviting and clean dining room. Knowledgeable, accommodating and very pleasant staff. Great assortment of beverages. Now, the bad. Burger was just okay. It was prepared to order - well melted Cheddar Cheese, nice bun and 2 slices of tomato. But.....the burger meat had no flavor! French Fries we're served at correct temperature and were seasoned well, but nothing special - just shoestring potatoes. read more

This place is great! Small but the food is really tasty. It's such an easy option. Food consistently tastes great. Their only area of improvement is speed. Especially when there are more than a couple of tables the wait times can get long. read more

Good burgers and fries. Cajun onion straws are great on the BBQ burger! Slushee are just OK

The service and people working at the restaurant are great. It's a Thompson property, so one can see thar in all the good ways. My main issue is that hours are not consistent among other locations, I.e, I was closer to another location but it closed an hour earlier and by the time I got to Vienna, there was less than five minutes until closing so I didn't even bother going inside. The other issue I had was with the food. One would think that with "buns" in the name that one could have a bun that works with the vegan impossible burger. I was in the mood for a burger sandwich, not a quinoa salad. Others in my family liked their food, and mine wasn't exactly terrible, but I didn't see the value for the premium impossible not a burger with few veggies in the bowl -- a couple of pieces of lettuce and a slice or two of tomato on quinoa with a burger on top. French fries were good, and tasted of quality ingredients. I don't see the value in what I got as the bowl as I would have expected more toppings on a bun than what was in the bowl. For others, I'm sure there are many tasty offerings on the menu, but restricted diets from allergies or a lifestyle perspective have to make more accommodations. Ironically, this replaced an Elevation Burger in the same space, after the chain was sold. Elevation Burger had a dedicated vegan burger and vegan grill area, and the buns were fine. Given that Best Buns is a cut above what happened to Elevarion Birger post sale (not in the heyday where I'd say the two chains are equal), I expected a tad bit more for the premium for the Impossible patty. read more

Found this place after taking my dog for Chemo treatments a few blocks down. Place is always cleans, great ambiance and decor. Looks like a great hangout place with the family or friends. They even sell adult beverages which is a plus. Since I go weekly to Vienna for my dog's chemo treatments, we now make it a point to go here afterwards. I highly recommend the chicken sandwich and Brussel sprouts with the sauce. Found out they also have grilled cheese sandwiches too, my pups favorite!! So every week after chemo, I pick up something for me and a grilled cheese for him as a big treat! This is our new tradition read more

Awesome burger and delicious parmesan truffle fries. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The place was clean with lots of options to sit inside or outside. Would love to go back and try the chicken next time. Highly recommend this place! read more

Big Buns - Burgers Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

See all

First time here and it was just ok. The service was very friendly and helpful which was nice. I ordered a beer first and then was told about the combo that included fries and a drink. Had I known I would not have had the beer. The Horseradish burger was decent but small, plus the picture with the combo shows a ton more fries than what I got on my tray. I'm honestly still hungry. For a combo burger, fries, drink, and 16oz beer it was $27 and change. Way too expensive. read more

Amazing service, wonderful food! 100% would recommend, great seating inside and out also very clean! read more

Big Buns - Burgers Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Ordered a burger and fries for curbside pickup due to a bad back. The order sat on the counter for a few. After seeing the 2 workers at the counter with no customers, I went in to pick up my order. I asked if they actually do curbside pickup - the young man said not really and the young lady giggled. The food was ok/average. I expected a little more flavor for the price. They should remove curbside pick up if it's not an option. read more

Burger was great, so was grilled chicken sandwich. The dude at the counter was super cool. Nice little place to eat with both outside and inside seating. read more

Updates- We were over charged of the burgers we ordered. We didn't realize until we got back home and I checked the receipt(my husband paid for it). Two burgers costs us $55 (no fries, cashier gave us one free drink while waiting). Each burger costs around $24. I paid the same at a nice sit down restaurant. Check your receipt before you pay. Be aware of the incorrect charges. read more

Decent tasting burgers and chicken sandwiches, frankly waaay overpriced. The ambiance is jut meh. Not sure if it's worth it. I can get a better tasting burger for less at Patsy's down the street. read more

Not thrilled I paid $2 for these avocados burgers were small for the price too. Not sure if I'll be back. read more

Big Buns - Not thrilled I paid $2 for these avocados - Burgers Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

The food here is amazing and so is the customer service. I've been here several times and have never been disappointed. Their cookie butter shakes is the best shake I've ever had! read more

I like the serving size and the meat used for the hamburgers. The beef is of a higher quality than the beef used at most burger shops. I cannot digest mid to low quality meat bc my gastric system rejects it immediately. I usually only eat organic, grass-fed, free range etc etc etc. YET, I digest th BBDG Burgers without difficulty and with great taste buds to tummy pleasure. The place is definitely not the nearest probably bc it's always so busy, but the burgers, prepared right before your eyes in the open kitchen behind the counter, are pretty good! and the veggies are always fresh. Make sure you add crispy onions to your burger! YUMMM! read more

all fresh the best shakes my favorite is strawberry my burguer is hot&jefe is delicios

I had a pretty awesome experience here. Didn't try one of the shakes, but I'll definitely be back. I need one of those unicorn floaties for my niece, and the pool, and myself. Got the special burger. It took some time to make, but that's why I ordered ahead in the app. I still showed up early tho. The staff was really nice while i waited. Very friendly and full of conversation. So much so i didn't mind the wait. And, glad to know the burger was freshly made and not just sitting there all day. The fountain drinks aren't coke or Pepsi, and they have like three amazing lemonade/juice flavors. Which I saw the people make and fill. So like, a quick food place with real food - who'd guess?! I'll be back for sure. Probably later at night when I can get a drink (margarita, old fashioned, and beer?!) and fries so I can really enjoy the whole experience. read more

Delicious burgers! Ordered online, and was ready on time. Juicy, fresh, and tasty. Can't wait to come back and try different burgers and sandwiches, as well as their milkshakes! Looked like they were busy when I went to pick up my food. Lots of outdoor patio tables. (Also these negative one star reviews are really bringing the overall rating down. Very suspect considering most of them are from Yelpers who have only written one review or have a history of negative reviews. Smh.) read more

Everything was so fresh and juicy! The beef patty was super thick and truly cooked to medium. It didn't taste greasy but actually healthy. I didn't taste any gaminess. It was so satisfying, munching down the pure protein with other fresh ingredients. I like my Cajun fries spicier, but it was still good. I loved the kid's menu, too; it comes with a cute juice cup. :) read more

We're going to have to go again. When you start a review like that, you've got to figure the places is worth going to. Look, it's a burger joint ... so y'know ... measure your expectations. But at the same time, it's not your *average* burger joint. I ended up getting one of the bowls ... the Beet, Sprouts, & Harmony with a beef patty atop. Dare I say ... excellent? I love beets (yeah I'm one of those people) and the roasted Brussels sprouts were cooked to perfection too. Toss in whatever that wonderful dressing was and there was not a shred of lettuce left in my bowl when I was done. The other burgers at the table seemed to disappear pretty quickly and the truffle fry (ok, or two ... FINE THREE) that I stole from my daughter were super truffley and delicious. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE. On our way out we picked up prickly pear and blood orange frozen margaritas to go. Oh yeah. Like I said, we'll be back. read more

I'm writing this review after trying Big Buns Vienna branch, and the newest location in Fairfax (which still doesn't have a yelp entry at the time of writing this review). I tried the Classic burger, the Hot and Hefe, and the Shirlington Hot Nashville chicken sandwich. This is not your typical run-of-the-mill fast food burger joint. For the beef burgers, this place makes them exclusively from angus beef which makes for a totally elevated burger experience. I ordered mine medium and they were SO juicy and flavorful. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich (Shirlington) caught me by complete surprise. I didn't expect a burger place to sell such flavorful and truly hot chicken sandwich. It's not for the faint hearted, though. Order your hot sauce on the side and add it to taste if you cant take the heat. But don't sleep on this one. It tastes way better than at specialized hot chicken restaurants. I took away one star because the lower part of the bun gets very soggy and starts to disintegrate by the time you reach home. I would choose dine-in over takeaway for that reason. I hope they work on sourcing better quality buns or figure out a way for their buns not to get too soggy and ruin the nearly-perfect burger experience. Also, their fries portions are small compared to the price. Nevertheless, I'm definitely coming back for more flavorful burgers and hot chicken! read more

We ordered two burgers and one fries to go. After we got home and realized we were charged $55. Never go back again. Check your receipt before you sign the credit card. read more

what can I say, so slow i forgot what I had ordered. I gave it a second change and it took even longer. The burgers are good but really not worth the hassle and the wait. read more

Made my second visit to the Vienna shop. Even better than the first. Beef is top quality. Cooked to request. Fresh buns. Crispy fresh lettuce, tomato etc. Great fries.! Had Cajun last time. Plain this time. Again, freshly prepared and delicious. Service was great. At the counter when ordering. When the food was brought to the table. Clean and orderly throughout. Comfortably organized seating, inside and outside. For us, having tried the other burger places in and around Vienna, this is our #1! BTW: Heard from a friend the chicken entrees are equally delicious. Definite choice on our next visit. read more

We visited on a Friday night and found it to be very busy. However, we were still able to order quickly and grab a table outside. I liked that they have a few beers on tap and was able to enjoy one while we waited. Unfortunately, we did wait about 20min for our food to be delivered as it appeared there were two large groups ahead of us and both the kitchen and servers were in a bit of chaos. The manager did come out to apologize for the delay and kept us informed of when our food would be ready. Both my wife's Callobora and my Horseradish Bourbon burger were perfectly cooked and had great toppings. The Cajun fries were crispy but a bit small for the amount we paid. By far the best item was the Smore Bourbon Shake, which was to die for. Overall the food was quite good but a little overpriced for what you got. It would be nice that at $13-$15 for only the burger, you at least got a small side of fries also. They do offer bundles with fries and a drink but that is $18, which is on the very high end for a fast food joint. I could go to Patsys or Clyde's for the same price. Given all the other burger joints in Vienna I feel their price point is a few dollars off. read more

I used to go to the Ballston location of Big Buns religiously. I'm very happy they opened up a location in Vienna. It's the best burger in the Vienna/Tyson's area, bar none. Burgers are perfectly cooked, Cajun fries rocked, boozy milkshakes the right mix of liquor and milkshake. Only comments are the prices are higher than you'd expect, and the service was slow. We went on a Saturday afternoon and took 20 minutes for two burgers and fries with shakes. read more

we emerged from the pit ravenous for burger meat. the person working demonstrated infinite patience. we're so so so sorry. angels wear plaid. read more

Solid burgers, friendly and attentive service. My husband got the Hot and Hefe and I had the Peppercorn Steakhouse. Both were delicious. We'll definitely be going back! read more

I have been coming to this place for a month because of the delicious burgers and fries. It's so good and I could not recommend this place anymore! read more

The food was just average and definitely not the "fancy burger place" I was expecting. The service is EXTREMELY slow and I waited for more than 20 minutes for my food to come out. Way overpriced for the quality of the food and service. read more

Don't order delivery . Waited over an hour for my order to be cancelled and apparently "thrown out". They should not offer if the delivery company is incompetent. read more

AMAZING burgers! The menu makes my mouth water. I've been there twice in 3 weeks and I can't wait to return. First time I had the "Hot n Hefe". It was sooo guuuud! When I went back this week, I started to re-order the same thing, but the person I was with said, "If it's a really good place you might just walk through the entire menu." so this time I had the "THE PEPPERCORN STEAKHOUSE". Unnnhh... so guuuuuddd, ... - Don't sleep on the chipotle mayo! It's killer good. To drink, I had the Vanilla (Bourbon) shake and I recommend it. Didn't give 5 stars only because the dining room wasn't big enough... I guess that's not really fair - I'm changing to 5 stars! Can't wait to go back. read more

Big Buns - THE PEPPERCORN STEAKHOUSE and SUPER spicy fries - be warned! - Burgers Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

We had a large order of burgers, fries, and salads today and everything was so delicious and organized! The burgers were fantastic and good choice of toppings. The manager and staff went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect and even helped walk my large order to the car. It is also so fantastic having delicious salads at a burger joint so our whole family is happy. Such a great addition to the neighborhood! Very well priced as well. read more

I have eaten here three times now and the food has been excellent and just as described. The prices are a bit higher, but it's worth it for all the great and unique options you don't find at a basic burger spot. I will be back. read more

Overall fantastic rendition of the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Fries were great also. Food came quick , hot and everything had great flavor. read more

This is a fantastic find/add for vienna for burgers and shakes. Visited for lunch and ordered the horseradish and kids burgers. The Horse radish sauce was excellent!!! Great dipping sauce for my fries too. Burger was juicy, bread fresh, and I topped it off with cookies and crème milk shake which was a divine ending to my memorable lunch. Customer service and eating outdoors was awesome too. I also loved their pear ginger drink. Awesome experience in every way and can't wait to treat myself again. read more
