Burgers don't usually appeal to me, so I've driven by this place quite a few times. What has always stood out to me is that it's always PACKED, so in the back of my mind I knew it had to be good. I assumed it was just your standard diner-style burger and fries spot, but I was so wrong. First, the space was so clean and updated. Always a plus when you're not sitting in a sticky booth. Second, I had no idea they would have so many burger options. Not just toppings, but veggie, turkey, chicken, and for a gluten-free girly, any place that offers a lettuce wrap is a huge win for me. I got a lettuce-wrapped turkey burger, and it was easily the best turkey burger I've ever had. I also ordered the sweet potato fries, which were amazing. Before my food came out, I added a cup of soup after our server told us it was homemade and delicious, and omg... she was not lying. I seriously contemplated going back the next day for dinner. I'm so happy I found this place and now see why it's always so busy. I hope it stays there forever! read more

It's always been a go-to spot for us. Whether for lunch, dinner or Happy Hour the food is consistently good. While lately we've been going to Happy Hour more often, today I stopped by for lunch with a friend. We came at 11:30 in order to beat the crowd and by noon it was almost full. We ordered a Blue Burger and an American burger. Both of us had fries. We both asked for medium rare. While they usually hit the doneness right, today both burgers were served medium rare. Not enough for me to complain but not perfect. As usual, the service was excellent. They repeatedly checked up on us and kept glasses filled. The noise level can be an issue and it was today. We had to lean in to chat. read more

Blu Burger Grille - Blue burger - Burgers Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Hello Everyone: This is a review for Blu Burger Grille for lunch on March 27, 2026. Following is our experience and my thoughts: 1. Server: Our server, Mandy was very good. Timely with our order, items were delivered to us as ordered and she brought us more water when our water glasses were low in spite of the lunch hour being busy. 2. Drinks: There are a variety of drinks to select from, there is a bar in the Grille. But, we opted for one watermelon and one blackberry lemonade since it was over 100 degrees outside they sounded refreshing. They are $6.00 each with a $1.49 charge for a refill. Thoughts: There was not really any "lemonade" flavor to the drinks and there was not a lot of depth of flavor in the blackberry lemonade. The watermelon seemed more reminesint of watermelon, but also had a very sweet flavor, so I don't believe these were made fresh. The size of the glass was surprising for $6.00 (small) and it had quite a bit of ice. If we would have poured out the actual "lemonade" there would have been about a cup worth, so I cannot recommend this as a purchase. 3. My husband ordered the California Burger as described on the menu. I have a copy of the menu in this review for your FYI (ingredients). He asked for medium-well with regard to his beef and it was served well done. 4. We asked for our french fries to be "crispy" and they were, so kudos to the staff for getting that right! Ketchup, mustard, salt and pepper are on each table. The amount of fries served with the burgers is just right. In some places, you get a mound of fries, but we would rather have quality versus quantity. 5. I ordered a build your own burger with: beef, whole wheat bun, pepper jack cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomato, red onion and bacon. Unfortunately, I also experienced my beef burger served overcooked. It was definitely not medium well, rather it was served very well done with the outside of the burger very dry. The bacon was very chewy and tough (and this is also an extra charge). Staff got my request for the mayo toppings to be served on the side correct which I appreciated, because it was our first time at Blu Burger Grille, I did not know if I would like their mayos enough to be put all over my burger. And, they were served on the side in the small cups as you can see in the photo. Someone beside our server brought our meals to us, so I wonder if they were done and sitting on the counter contributing to the beef continuing to cook (and staff grabbed them to get them to us). 6. One of the reasons we went into the Grille was because they were advertising a new Dubai Chocolate Torte within an email sent to us that looked good. So, we tried it. Thoughts: For $14.00 a slice, we expected real whipped cream. I am not sure what the white dollops on the side of the plate were (see the photo) as they were mostly airy foam. The torte itself is more like a cookie. There was a crust on the bottom which reminded us of the crunchy part of a KitKat bar. There was a nice drizzle of chocolate on the plate to drag your fork-full through to heighten the chocolate flavor. But, I don't feel this fit the definition of a torte. It reminded me more of a cookie you would bake in a 9 X 13 pan and top with ganache. Therefore, I had a few bites and hubby ate the rest. Unless you like very sweet desserts, I would recommend ordering their gelato instead. 7. Ambiance: During the height of meal services, it is very crowded and a small space so it is very loud. If you are hard of hearing or there for a business meeting it may be difficult to hear your stablemates. Perhaps it would be best to go before or after the typical rush hours. Staff is very efficient there, when it is busy everyone is working to keep the tables turned for the next waiting guest. 8. Overall: This was not a "bad" lunch experience, it was okay, but the result being a bill for $70 for lunch we expected things to be a little more top notch. Enjoy! _________________ Thank you for your reply Brandon it is kind of you. Regarding the lemonade: We were expecting lemonade with fresh watermelon muddled in it and lemonade with fresh blackberries muddled in it. Therein was the disconnect with regard to the menu and exceptions on our end. Had we known they were made from syrups, we would not have ordered them to avoid the disappointment. In reference to the whipped cream: I am not sure what brand of heavy cream is being used at the Grille, but the cream on our plate was very foamy and as you can see, there were not any peaks, not even soft peaks and very little flavor. So, I don't know if it was not whipped long enough or if it was out on the counter and was starting to break down. But, I am guessing this is not a dairy heavy cream product that is whipped fresh in the kitchen in the kitchen based on what we were served today (I cannot speak for other days). Again, thank you! read more

It is a very small restaurant and very few of the tables and none of the booths have any private space because they are all along a main aisle to the kitchen the bathrooms or the patio. The menu is pretty large. The burgers give you plenty of options to mix and match. Service was very attentive and professional. I heard the burger with fig jam, caramelized, onions, and swapped in Swiss cheese for the goat cheese. I think I should've left the goat cheese in as it would've counteracted the super sweet flavor of those two other items. The bacon was not crisp, and I didn't like the fact that this cheese was just thrown on their cold and was not melted on the burger itself. The bun was a little bit stale as well so all in all I give my burger a three out of five. The french fries were delicious and one of us got zucchini fries as an option, which were fantastic. Totally recommend those as well as the onion rings. The gelato/ice cream options for dessert are good. Salted caramel with chocolate caramel cups was great as well as the double chocolate. Probably will return when in the area and will probably build my own burger and probably choose a pretzel bun. read more

Excellent burgers and sides, including portions! So many choices as well for toppings.

Met an ex neighbor here for lunch, had not been here in a long time. Ordered their new Black and Blue burger and it was REALLY good. The horseradish Aioli has a kick that compliments the blue cheese and buttermilk marinated fried onions! My ex neighbor had the Strawberry salad and mentioned multiple times how good it was. And I had a New Belgium 1554 that if you like dark smooth chocolatey beers, is a MUST Try!!! Will be back sooner this time!!! read more

Blu Burger Grille is the premium spot for a tasty, well seasoned great burger. They have many choices to choose from for additional toppings, bun types, and different type of meats for their patties. Their burgers are big hence the expensive price tag that goes along with it (think $20+) But don't be afraid to indulge in their appetizers and gelato too. This time around I visited during their happy hour (2-5pm) and they had some nice deals with $3 off appetizers and $5.50 beers. I got the Brussels sprouts app (delicious), fried mozzarella appetizer (cheesy gooey amazingness), and the bistro burger. Every time I've been here, the food has been great. It's pricy but I promise it's worth it. read more

Another visit!! Usually 5 stars- sadly this experience was a bit less than our usual experience. But, I guess I should have stuck with burgers. I had the shrimp pasta dish- I was told it was spicy which I am good with...This was over the top spicy. I commented that to our server- their reply was the heat could vary depending on the person preparing it....yikes!! It really had a nice flavor if it wasn't so dang hot I was sweating to death & my mouth was on fire. My husband's burger was top notch of course!! The service is nice - but, I felt the meal should have been taken of the bill. We will still return- and, I may even order the pasta again- I will just specify I want it MILDLY spicy! read more

Great local spot. Good burgers and appetizers as well as gelato. Good service. French fries also yummy.

5/5 - Best Burger in Town, Hands Down! I had the Metropolitan Burger at Blu Burger Grill, and let me just say--it was absolutely phenomenal! Perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and stacked with all the right toppings. It's no surprise they've won Best Burger year after year--this place truly lives up to the hype. On top of the incredible food, the atmosphere was welcoming and laid-back, and the service was top-tier. Mandy took such great care of me--attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the food. She made the whole experience even better. Huge shoutout to Brandon, the owner--his passion for quality and community shows in every part of Blu Burger Grill. You can tell he puts his heart into this place. If you haven't been, go. And if you've already been... go again. The Metropolitan burger alone is worth the trip! read more

I called my order in and was told almost an hour for some kids meals. I showed up a little early and I understand they were slammed, but three other customers came and went, and they hadn't even started my food preparation 40 minutes into me ordering the food. They purposely waited until it was five minutes past my 55 minutes that they quoted me to hand Memi food and then he told me the manager they were right on time and I showed them they were not and he laughed about it I won't be coming back to this place an hour for some kids meals for to go order is unacceptable. Plenty of other great restaurants like Patricia's right down the street. read more

Great burgers. I like to create my own. For the most part, the service is great. Although I have felt rushed to leave a couple times. This is only one of the servers though Dog friendly patio is great to have as well. read more

Update after poor service and waiting 1.5 hours for food. Two of the folks that ate half of these poor burgers got food poisoning.

Always love it here! This restaurant consistently knocks it out of the park and the serving staff is absolutely incredible! It is amazing how well they handle how busy they get and how great the customer service is. Not to mention the food is amazing and the atmosphere is always vibrant. Highly recommend! read more

My wife and I have been eating at Blu Burger for going on 7 years now. The food never disappoints (the Metropolitan burger is a thing of dreams) and the service always delivers with a smile and a great attitude. It is a local gem with great food, great service, great music, really just cant say enough good things about Blu Burger and crew! read more

The quality of the food was good, nothing to shout about. However, this burger for my 7 year old was SUPER disappointing. One tiny slider for a kids meal? This was $8 with the tiny piece of cheese. He ate this in two bites and wanted me to order him another! Come on, this is NOT a kids meal. This might feed a kid under 5, but for sure not 6-12 year olds! read more

For AZ it's great...but don't compare their burgers to Au Cheval in Chicago or New York

Haven't been here in a few years. I got a BLT and my husband got a Clubhouse burger. Both were great. My husband really enjoyed the zucchini fries. Also, my picky son liked his chicken tenders and for a kids meal they are priced well. We will come back and maybe try one of the burgers since it looks like they have won best burger in Phoenix many times. read more

I've been coming here for the past 4 years and I wanted to share my experience this time because it was so good.

Our server was amazing and super attentive with refills and checking on us. Will definitely be coming back soon! read more

From the first phone call to the final hand-off, the service at Blu Burger Grille was outstanding.

This place has the best burgers that Scottsdale has to offer. I've only been in a few times but every time I go it's absolutely packed yet we are always greeted with friendly hostess and attentive servers. Don't underestimate its small size because this place has the ability to offer higher-quality, fresher, locally sourced ingredients that create unique flavors compared to all the other chains around. Tonight, I tried another one of their signature burgers, the Barbecue Burger, and still nothing has failed to impress me. The quality of their food is top tier and if you are looking for a fun night out, Blu Burger is definitely the place to be. read more

Ordered some burgers and sandwiches to go and we have nothing but great things to say!! Talked to the sweetest girl on the phone and the hostesses were very kind! Such a great environment. The food came out right on time fresh and hot. It was delicious and I couldn't recommend it more, definitely the best burger spot in Scottsdale. Can't wait to eat here again! read more

We have ordered from here before and decided to give Blu Burger Grille another chance. We had never eaten inside before. The interior is nice and clean and the service was pretty friendly. We had an older woman whose name I forgot. We started with Chicken Wings and the Calamari. The Wings were really crunchy and hot but I wouldn't get the Calamari again-- it was pretty chewy and tasted either old or frozen. We ended up not eating it. I wouldn't ever get that dish from here again. For entrees we got some burgers. I got a BYO grass-fed burger on a pretzel bun, which was pretty tasty. The fries on the side were crispy and the aioli was the perfect addition. My parents enjoyed their burgers and my Dad loved the coleslaw. We ended with 2 gelato scoops, which were creamy and definitely house-made. Not a bad place overall-- I'd consider coming back. read more

The BLT here is amazing! I was from out of town and will definitely go back when I visit Scottsdale, AZ again!

I found this place on recommendation of a friend. BBG is tucked away in a strip mall. There is an outdoor dining area, which is nice, during the cooler months. Obviously when it's 115° in the shade...the three of us dined inside. The hostess seated us immediately. BBG offers all sorts of specials, as well as happy hour pricing. There is a full bar... I ordered their pear. It was cool and refreshing and not too sweet. My friends ordered tea. They have a great salad options and sandwiches too. The menu has gluten-free options. There are options to substitute burger patties for chicken breasts. All three of us ordered burgers with sweet potato fries. Our burgers were cooked to order and we're perfect. The patties were juicy and flavorful. My son loved his pretzel bun. The portions were good sized and we were too full for dessert. As we walked out, I noticed the gelato bar. They even make gelato martinis. I will have to make sure to leave room next time.. As I mentioned, in the beginning of this review, there is a patio for outdoor seating. I was happy to see a sign on the way out, it's dog friendly. read more
