Yum! The burger was so good - great flavor with a fluffy bun. I enjoyed the fries with the burger sauce too. (You could definitely share an order of fries!) The service was quick even with a crowd waiting. You can eat at the counter, but I'd suggest taking it to the park. read more

Stopped by Burg and Shaw for lunch while downtown. The menu is simple and straight to the point, which made ordering easy. I went with The Beef Burg, a smashed patty with white American cheese, grilled onions and iceberg lettuce. I made it a combo with Golden Fries and a drink, then added the Burg Sauce on the side. The burger was solid, and the sauce was definitely worth adding. The fries came out hot and crispy, and everything was served pretty quickly. The space itself is small, so I'd definitely consider this more of a grab-and-go spot than somewhere to sit for a long lunch. The staff was friendly and greeted me with a smile. I also liked the bright orange branding and modern design. It gives the place its own identity without doing too much. Fair prices, fast service and a simple menu. I could easily see Burg & Shaw expanding and becoming a larger chain. read more

$8 for a burger or chicken sandwich is a great price for Boston, but is so light and basic you might as well eat air. Just like their burgers, the place feels absolutely soulless. The store's corporate minimalism and AI generated website makes Burg & Shaw feel more like the launch pad of a franchise than a restaurant. read more

I found this place via social media and had to try! This is the only smash burger place downtown that is also halal. Middle eastern flavours, and open till late. They don't have any seating inside so be prepared to eat it on the go. They have a standing table on the side. During late night, it's busy! I was here after a comedy show (shout out Bassem Youssef) and it was fitting to get this before heading home. It was Muslim galore - everyone had the same idea to grab a bite before heading home. I got the burger combo with fries and water. There was Atleast a 20-30min wait. The food was delicious! The burger was perfection. Can't wait to try their shawarma style! Great to finally see more Muslim / halal options in Boston! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Burg & Shaw - American Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

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! read more

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! read more

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$. read more

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!! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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 read more

Even though the name sounds like a law firm this is my new favorite burger place in the Boston area. The seasoning on the burg was so unique and the patty was super crisp. It was really good and I inhaled it. The chicken shaw sandwich was also really awesome too, it was very juicy and flavorful. It's unique because I've never had a shwarma burger before but now that I've had it i can't really go back. The service was pretty fast on a thursday evening around 7:30 PM. There's not a lot of seating inside the restaurant but it's close to boston common so you can easily walk and eat there. i cant wait to come back here! read more

This is a casual spot to grab food! Their burgers were delicious, though it could've used a second patty. But the ice cream was a highlight for sure- nicely spiced and super creamy! Everything came out very fast and seemed fresh. There are a ton of workers as well. read more

Not far from our hotel. Highly rated, we thought we would try it. Surprised at how small it was. No place to really sit and eat. We ordered both the burger and chicken. We took it back with us to the hotel and ate there. The burger was good with a good taste. The chicken was also good. I didn't care 100% for the sauce but it was still good. The service was quick and the people are very nice. I would eat there again. read more

This place does a REALLY good smash burger. I just happened upon it and prefer SO much to shake shack.

One of the best burgers I ever had. Perfect size. Incredibly juicy. Friendly staff. Overall, absolutely amazing. It's a small joint but it packs a crowd. I've yet to come back for the chicken. If you're a first-time guest, they deliver great customer service and give you a sample garlic sauce. The garlic sauce is excellent but too good to go ona burger and doesn't pair well as a result. I rather would have tried their burger sauce or have gone with the chicken swarma to fully appreciate their burger sauce. Not sure if this place is a chain but I can see it easily becoming one based on their deliciousness. Move over White Castle and In-and-Out! read more

Actual fire burgers here. I'm so surprised. They're cheap, too! We got the Burg + Chicken Shaw, which was $18 for both plus fries. Great deal! Chicken Shaw was delicious. Chicken was super flavorful. The buns are nicely browned and full of flavor as well. Loved the sauce! Burg was my favorite. Buns were also nicely browned and delicious. The smashburger was so good and crispy, holy moly. Not quite at In-n-Out's level, but honestly the best smashburger I've had on the east coast. If anyone has found better, please DM me the name The restaurant is pretty much takeout only. There's a small counter you can stand and eat at. Service is quick and friendly. read more

One of the best smash burgers I've had in a long time. Thin and crispy edges but the burger wasn't dry. The chicken sandwich had great flavor - felt lighter. Prices are reasonable for what you get ($10.99/double burger and $7.99/chicken sandwich). Service was quick also. There are a few seats inside but don't expect this to be a sit down dining establishment. read more

The smash burger was a hit. However, I didn't love the chicken sandwich. It left a lot to be desired. However, their deal with the chicken sandwich, burger, and fries is very affordable and easy to share. We also got a free ice cream which hit the spot. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Why am I here? Unimpressive, overpriced, small almost slider sized burger and clumpy, syrupy chicken sandwiches. Got one of each. Burger was slightly better but so dainty could barely enjoy, chicken one was pointless. Skipped on the fries. Didn't loose any sleep over it. That's pretty much the menu I think. Don't see any reason to go back. read more

I decided to give this place a try for lunch one afternoon since I was craving a smashburger and didnt want to walk far. The customer service was top tier, the staff was nice and welcoming. I got the beef burg and chicken shaw and when I got back, I noticed that there were no condiments in the bag, and to my recollection there was also no condiment station just a stack of napkins. The beef burger was good, but the patty was smaller than I had anticipated. The flavors of the chicken shaw were amazing, but I didnt like that I had to keep putting it back into the patty to enjoy it. The fries stole the show for me, perfect amount of salt and crispness, bur would've tasted better had there been ketchup to pair it with. All in all, this is a good spot for a quick bite. read more

Great chicken Shaw sandwich. Great burger. Great fries. Quick service. Good price. No seating.

The small restaurant is right in Tremont Street. It is small and appropriate for take out or delivery. The prices are great for Boston. I got a chicken shawarma burger and for $15 (after tax and tip). The shawarma burger was juicy and tasty. The owner dropped by and explained that he and his brother opened the shop to bring Egyptian street food to Boston, and then gave me a soft serve ice cream. The soft serve tastes like horchata! read more

Great burgers and fries. And they have gluten free buns! I was pleasantly surprised. Loved it.

Great quality burger and the hospitality is unmatched. It's a tight squeeze to eat inside, so I recommend taking it to Boston Common. Get extra sauce! read more
