    The Burg
    Erin O.

    Despite having a couple high chairs and bar tables, this place has the feel of a takeout-only spot. I ordered the Burg (single patty) with a side of fries, which came delivered to me in a very well presented box. The burger itself was pretty small and didn't have many toppings on it. If you're actually hungry I would suggest getting a double patty since the single isn't very large. The char, flavor, and sauce that covered the burger was very tasty and was comparable to a lot of other takeout burger spots in the area. I especially enjoyed the grilled onions which I felt like elevated the flavor profile a lot. The fries were okay and really nothing special. Overall, I'm not sure if I'd go out of my way to eat here again but if I was craving a burger and was in the area I'd probably give it another go.

    Came for the Icecream, came back again for the burger. It's good, but the burger is just too greasy to my liking. I'll return, but only for the soft serve when I'm tipsy. It's definitely an appealing spot for the halal folks is what I'll end with.

    Burg and Shaw is a wonderful addition to the Downtown area. It was a great experience overall with exceptional and friendly customer service from a small shop, particularly from Aadil. The food came out quick and hot and the workers were apologetic for the wait even though it was only about a 5-10 minute wait despite the crowds during dinner. The stack pack is a great deal that comes with both of their sandwiches along with a side of fries (in store deal only). I'd recommend getting a double patty for the burger and while both sandwiches were good, I preferred the smash burger over the shawarma. The eating area is standing room only with two counters so most people take their orders to go. The staff were super attentive to everyone in the store as well, most notably the fact that they remembered everyone's names even after they got their orders. In a food scene saturated with loads of smash burgers, the staff made the place stand out with genuine service and positive customer interactions. They even hand wrote personal messages onto bags for delivery orders. Aside from the food, their ice cream is super distinct with notes of cardamom, cinnamon, and vanilla. I'd recommend checking this place out for a quick bite if you're in the area!

    Wow, this place is seriously special!! I've never had a burger quite like this, definitely not anywhere else in Boston, and possibly anywhere else at all. They've perfected the simplicity of their menu, only offering two burgers and of course fries, but the flavors and textures are balanced wonderfully and honestly out of this world! I love the mediterranean take on this spot's flavors which brings a unique and personal-feeling energy to the food and atmosphere, but also do not detract from that classic burger taste, if anything it enhances it, adding an interesting contrast of flavor that remains just as desirable! I love the chicken burger but the beef burger is really the star of the show, tender as can be and packed with classic yet complex flavors. This has to be one of my new fav burger spots in the city! They know exactly what they're doing. Not to mention the absolutely incredible ice cream, it tasted almost like horchata! So cool! I'm a huge fa of this spot and think everyone should give it a try. Right by boston commons and the movie theatres it's great for a quick lunch or dinner and a show! The service is quick even during peak hours and the staff is incredibly kind, generous, and welcoming making you feel right at home!

    Came in here on a Saturday night around 6:30. A few people there. Very tiny place. Takeout only no seating. Small menu. I got the burg and it said it came with cheese but mine did not have any cheese on it and it had a ton of burger sauce. I couldn't really taste the patty and the bun was not great. Kind of dry. Employees were extremely friendly here though. Single burger was 8$.

    Both burg and shaw are pretty tasty! It's a cool take on burgers, and I like that there aren't a ton of options (choosing is easy)! Got our food relatively quick and got to chat with some of the staff. Get the spice cream, it's so good. The customer service and energy in this place is amazing, would come back just for the friendly staff!!

    Menu (1/2) as of 6/6/26

    Small joint with solid burgers. I got the Stack Pack. Great seasoning on both the burgers. The chicken one had a nice shawarma-esque flavor and the beef one had a classic beefy flavor. Definitely recommend eating the burgers ASAP to prevent soggy buns. Would be a great drunchie meal haha

    Came here during their first day of full long operations day- they open earlier this week. The space is small with no space to sit so it's meant more for a take out service ( you can stand on a side with some table space to eat). The menu is simple with either a chicken Shaw or a beef burg burger. This is an east meets west burger where hamburger is filled with middle eastern filling. Take for example that Chicken Shaw is kinda of like a chicken shawarma in it! The fries unfortunately was abit too crispy or dry aka too "golden" fries and so want not for my liking. The burger is delicious though! You can get a combo for fries and drink (can coke or sprite or water) for $5.99. Fries alone for $4.29 The staff are very friendly and helpful. The wait is a bit long but this is also the opening week so they deserve to have a bit of leniency as they figure it out! It was probably like 15 mins wait with 3-4 people in front of me. Give this new small local business a try-it's delicious!

    Prices are quite reasonable considering the location! And the staff is very friendly with warm smiles! Space inside is small, so more likely you'll have to take your food to go. Also, they do not take cash! So make sure you have your credit card! Now on to the FOOD!!! I think I found my new burger spot!!!!!!!! Absolutely delicious burgers with incredible flavor, packed with sauce, buns that are buttery, just YUM! The chicken shaw is absolutely banger, what a yummy chicken shwarma but like in burger format? Love!! You HAVE to get the fries, they are seasoned sooooo well and alongside their burg sauce!! Also really love their cute packaging, it's absolutely adorable and very fresh! If you're considering this place, GO!!! It's absolutely delicious and you will not regret it!

    Very nice packaging

    Are you KIDDING me?! This is the best dang sandwich I've had in YEARS. From the first bite I could tell these guys are so thoughtful in how they make their burgers. They make their own bread. Their sauces are familiar yet have a unique and elevated flair. The Burg had an awesomely buttery crisp bite and everything just melted in my mouth afterwards bursting with flavor from the patty and awesome sauce. The chicken Shaw is no exception - amazing marinated and flavorful chicken and that garlic sauce is nooo joke holy moly so good. The location itself is conveniently located near Boston common and very clean and nicely styled. Lastly, the owner is super nice and cares a lot about quality. I'm so pumped these guys opened!

    The burger looked depressing and completely unappetizing -- smashed bun, greasy, and burnt-looking patty. The grilled cheese was even worse because they basically used the same hamburger buns flipped inside out instead of actual bread. It felt lazy and not worth the money. Don't think I'll be coming back. BTW the meat patty tasted so salty. My fries are way too salty too.

    Stopped by on our trip to Boston; 1. Amazing location, got off the Green Line at Park St Station and walked 6 minutes to Burg and Shaw near the Boston Common and Freedom Trail start. 2. There is no seating, but that is great because you can find a bench fairly quickly in Boston Common 3. One of the best burgers I've ever had, the chicken sandwich is amazing, but the burger combo with fries is the move. 4. Staff were extremely friendly, they had music going, and some space to wait inside. For a little over $30, it is a great lunch spot.

These days, everywhere you go, places are charging around $20 for a burger. More often than not, they disappoint at that price point. And some don't even come with fries for that price! But that's where we are. I ordered the Capital Burger for $23. It was arguably the best burger I've had in my life. Like a French onion soup infused burger. The taste was delectable, the quality top notch, and cooked to perfection. And yes, it came with fries. Finally, a burger worth the hefty price places charge nowadays. Wife had the Ribeye Steak Sandwich which was flavorful and plentiful, as we brought half home for lunch the next day. And surprisingly, the wine list is VERY reasonably priced. Again, if you eat out often, you know the prices for a glass of wine have risen beyond ridiculous the last couple of years. So appreciate this place for not price gouging.

    Great meal to end the upper US marathon vacation!!…read more We had no idea where we may end up eating but the trusty Yelp app led us to another victory dance!! Yay for Yelp!! We had just cruised the nearby mall center thingy and were hungry on our last night in Boston. We saw the sites and did the things. Boston is a one of a kind place for sure. This was the choice. It was a great choice! Beautifully decorated and oh so chill inside. We have a thing that we do at places with great appetizers. We just order a bunch of those and feast. That's what we did here! We started with some raw oysters. They were very nice indeed. Island Creek Oysters from Duxbury MA. is where they came from. We love the little local Junts a lot and had them all over the northeast while we were there. We also had Crab Rangoon Dip. Very good, lots of fresh lump crabmeat, with a house chili crisp, scallions, and wonton chips. Loved it! They we had some fantastic mussels to close the deal! The flavor was amazing! I wish I could have them every single day! We also had a bowl of BPH Clam Chowder. CC is one of my favorite things and this place did not disappoint in any way! Delicious!! The server was great. She took great care and made our last night in Boston an unforgettable experience. If you are near, you should go right now! Why aren't you there yet? '26 - 108
