Bar area

Stopped by Big Buns. After stopping my the fresh market , anywho I decided on making my own burger . Nice ambiance there's even a bar and a big screen tv which you can watch football on ! Service was good no complaints.

Food and service are always great. The gentleman taking our order was amazing. No complaints! One of my favorite local spots. I'm glad there are more locations in the area. Edit: I have now introduced my coworkers to Big Buns and we've been ordering it on Saturdays as a treat. One of my coworkers is now addicted to the cookie butter shake and another is addicted to the Hot & Hefe.

Frickin' Good Fried Chicken with Truffle Fries
Michael C.

A nice place to eat if you are near Wolf Trap for an event. I went here as a reasonable place to eat before a Wolf Trap concert. When we arrived, it was mostly empty. Ordering at the kiosk was cumbersome, but the cashier took our order at the counter. The food came out very fresh and they use real chicken here. The fries were also good. I like their selection of drinks and overall the price is reasonable when you compare to the rest of the food options around here. Solid sandwiches!

If you're craving a good quality burger and fries, a stop at Big Buns is a good idea - and there are other tempting items on the menu such as shakes and jammin' sprouts. Friendly staff and ample seating (easy parking too) are a bonus. I also appreciate that they offer gluten free buns. Will most definitely be back!

9 The 9-Year Anniversary Burger
Laura W.

I ate here with my mom and daughter after walking through the lights at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. There was only one other table around 7:30 when we arrived. You can order at the counter or there is a self-serve order kiosk. My daughter had a kids meal cheeseburger. I had the 9 year anniversary burger-bacon, mustard aioli, lettuce, tomato, 2-year aged cheddar, cooked medium. I got the combo with fries and a soft drink. I loved the blueberry soda-first time trying it! The fries were ok, probably would have liked the Parmesan truffle fries more. My burger was spot on -cooked medium-and delicious! Really filling and didn't crumble apart easily. My mom really enjoyed her burger too and it was cooked perfectly to medium. Big Buns is a solid local chain that I've enjoyed for years, and this location is no exception!

Came here for lunch, and while I really wanted to like this place, I just wasn't impressed with the sandwich I got. I knew it came with onions, but I wasn't expecting it to be the main ingredient. While the beef did taste good, it felt like it was competing with all the onions inside which had strong flavor- even taking some out didn't do the trick. I just didn't enjoy this combination and wouldn't get it again. That said I would try this place again but get a classic burger or something in their regular menu.

Horseradish Bourbon Burger (No Horseradish Sauce)
David H.

Tasty fast casual burger place. The place isn't huge but they weren't too crowded on a weekday afternoon. Everything was clean and bright inside. Burgers are made to order so they're hot and fresh and bring your appetite since these things are huge. I had the horseradish bourbon bacon burger and enjoyed it. It comes with Muenster Cheese Applewood-Smoked Bacon, Bourbon Mushrooms, Onions, Shredded Lettuce, andTomato Jam. I don't like mayo so I skipped the Horseradish Cream Sauce The fries were tasty as well and not too greasy so they went well with the burger. The peanut butter shake was also very tasty and worth a try. This place is a little pricey and like most places they de facto expect a tip even though they're fast casual. I enjoyed my meal and will come back here for a tasty burger.

FRICKEN GOOD FRIED CHICKEN
James B.

Big Buns was a delicious quick service restaurant that I'd love to visit again. The service here was pretty quick as you order at the counter and then they bring the food to your table, and the inside is your typical fast foodish burger place. The food was incredible though. The Fricken Good Chicken Sandwich was delicious, big, and definitely worth it for $13. The fries were also really solid and I liked the Maine Root drink options at the drink machine rather than the typical Coke and Pepsi options. If I'm ever nearby I'd love to come visit again and I'd definitely recommend you do too!

Burgers galore!

I like Big Buns and I cannot lie... something something... 1-800-Sir-Mix-A-Lot... more 90's reference... etc etc. To be honest, I wish I tried this place a whole lot sooner. The burgers are Damn Good Burgers... and I wish I can also through in a Twin Peaks reference here too but man... I'm just showing my age and I think I might be suffering through a mid-life crisis. Like I have so many failed aspirations and dreams but one thing I don't regret is getting some damn good burgers here. I also saw that they had a unicorn milkshake... but I didn't want to drag a milkshake back into Maryland because I was taking my food to go, it did you know you can buy the unicorn floaty without getting a milkshake. That's awesome news for people that are lactose intolerant... also... I have yet to meet a person that takes their lactose intolerance seriously.

Good chicken sandwich. Why can't we get forks? Why cant the dressing come on the side? Why can't we get ketchup? Why doesn't your cashier know the menu? Never coming back.

As burger joints go, this is now in my top 3, and this particular location was especially great. Walking in it's easy to get analysis-paralysis. All the options looked good, but I 'settled' on the Anniversary burger (with a side of Cajun fries). As with all great burgers, it's a race to devour it before the structural integrity of the bun collapses. I easily could have used a fork...but as a hamburger purist, I refuse to use such utensils in these circumstances. As I was devouring my meal one of the staff came up to me (the owner?) to ask how I was doing. I gave him a greasy thumbs up. Yes - definitely will return.

Fresh fruit juices self-serve - so good! Love the Strawberry Watermelon juice!!!

DAMN, how did I happen to overlook this place as a burger and fries and fried chicken sandwich shop for alllllll these years?! SO GOOD. I'm going to call this a fast food+ option because clearly it's beyond McD's and Burger King but not as pricey as a sit-down full service burger joint. This place is "just right" - order at the counter, go grab a seat and they'll bring the food out to your table when it's ready. Drinks are self-serve - Main Root colas and fresh fruit juices. They also have shakes. And they serve beer, wine and boozy shakes and slushies/crushies too! This location which is in downtown(ish) Vienna off Maple is a bit tucked away in a shopping center (so parking is plentiful and no issue) and though it had a steady stream of customers coming in (we were there for a late lunch on a weekday), the place was never too busy or too crowded. Plenty of inside seating including counter seating (there's also some outside seating when weather permits). Service is EXCELLENT and considering it isn't full-service, the staff is attentive and responsive. They bus tables immediately and keep the place tidy and clean. The wait for food after you've ordered is not excessive especially knowing everything is freshly made to order and comes out piping hot off the grill. So worth the wait. Everyone in our party of 5 had a burger/fries/drink combo. The beef patties were big and juicy, the burgers come on brioche buns that were soft and fresh and not oversized or overly bread-y. I had BB's NoVA take on the Nashville Hot fried chicken sandwich called The Shirlington Hot. KILLER GOOD. The chicken was big, crispy coated just so and juicy inside. It truly does have a bit of a kick to it so if you're at all skittish about heat and spicy, beware. The creamy cole slaw was just enough and not too messy to be able to pick up the sandwich with your hands and the brioche bun you can tell is freshly made and delish. I love that this burger place has burgers AND chicken sandwiches. They also have burger bowls if you want healthier options I guess (?) but, really, if you're going to have a burger, gotta go traditional and all the way with a bun! This will now become my go-to option when I'm hankerin' for a fast food(ish) fresh, made-to-order, hot and juicy burger meal where I can sit down and enjoy my meal (with or without company) in a casual, trendy, clean environment where I don't have to shell out big bucks for a full-service sit down experience. Goodbye forever Five Guys and Shake Shack...

Super clean restaurant

Even though I live in the DMV, I'm not very familiar with the Tysons Corner area, so I reached out…read moreto a former boss who lives nearby to get her recommendation. She suggested Patsy's and I'm really glad she did. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and clearly on top of everything, which immediately set the tone for a great experience. The food was excellent definitely top-notch, though a bit on the pricey side but worth it overall. What really stood out, though, was a young man named Henry, who was working as a food runner. As someone who's naturally outgoing, I struck up a conversation with him, and he left a lasting impression. For just 18, he carried himself with confidence, warmth, and professionalism. You can tell he has a bright future ahead of him. Places like this should hold on to people like Henry he truly elevated the entire experience. Thank you for a memorable evening.

Juicy chunks of lobster throughout the Crabcake. The accompanying light salad was zesty and refreshing. Seasonal cheesecake- blueberry compote as a topping. Aauuughhhllll, Homer Simpson drool. Everything was tasty and the service was Excellent.
