The beef burg and the chicken shaw are both so delicious. The service is very quick and staff are super friendly. I came here once late at night and it's clear the ambiance is super friendly, it's a great place for people to finish their night and bave fun before going home. read more

I lived in Boston for 7 years and this is definitely one of the best if not the best smashburger I've had. The chicken shawarma melts in your mouth. I had it and loved it so I put in a pretty large order for a family gathering the next day. Ahmed the owner put everything together beautifully and very well organized, and personally walked it out to my car. The soft serve 'spICE cream' is the perfect way to wrap up the meal. You can see the owner loves what he does and loves to make delicious food and it really shows. read more

Great food and great people!! Everything on the menu is a hit...and their spice-cream is a must try

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

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

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

Burg & Shaw - Exterior of the restaurant - American Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

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

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

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

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

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

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

Very satisfying quality smash burger, nice amount of sweetness from bun and onions, lots of umami flavor. Stand up only but totally fits the vibe. Everyone is incredibly friendly! read more

Do not let the size of this spot fool you, they might be small on square footage but they are BIG FLAVOR. Checking all the boxes, food was fast, the burger juicy, the frys hot and crispy and the staff personable. This place is the definition of hidden gem. My first time there but definitely not my last. read more

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

Menu may be small but the flavors are huge! So sorry we did not find this stand up/take out gem sooner. The chicken Shaw is perfectly marinated and delicious with the cucumber and yogurt sauce. Hubby loved the Burg so if you're anywhere near The Commons this is well worth a visit. read more

Great spot. Burg & Shaw does fusion sandwiches without turning them into some ridiculous stacked gimmick. The burgers hit that classic fast-food flavor profile, but done properly. Soft roll, rich sauce that doesn't overpower everything, and a really balanced bite. The chicken shaw was excellent. Tender, well-marinated chicken, yogurt for richness, and mint to keep the whole thing bright. Do not skip the garlic sauce for the fries. One cup was almost not enough for a full order. The spice cream dessert was a nice finish. Cold, lightly sweet, and refreshing after the meal. The $18 Stack Pack with a burger, chicken shaw, and fries is also a great deal for the amount of food you get. Definitely a place I'll come back to for lunch, or for a couple sandwiches on nights when I don't feel like cooking. read more

I had a wonderful time at Burg & Shaw! I was immediately greeted with such kindness the second I walked in. The service was incredibly fast, and the food itself was amazing--great taste and fantastic flavor. Overall, a top-tier experience. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing service , great spirit. Amazing burgers i recommend getting a double. For $22 you can't beat a double smash burger and their chicken shaw. fast service didn't wait more than 5 minutes for my good. Very clean. read more

Yum! Remember that great burger place in your hometown you enjoyed? You will love Burg & Shaw in Boston. We enjoyed their double burgers with fries. Everything was amazing, fresh, and wonderfully seasoned. This will become a regular spot when we visit Boston. read more

Cute place! Cheap burgers with a unique twist, open late, clean and fast. What more could you want? Good addition to downtown Boston.

Only a couple options because they do it right. Both the Beef burger and the Shaw were outstanding and the fries were well seasoned. I couldn't believe it for that price point. Service was quick even on a Friday night. If you are it Boston you HAVE to go here read more

Really good. Got a single and a double burger today. Both were great. Got the single first and then needed to immediate go back for more. Lack of good smash burgers in Boston. I will be going back a lot. Staff real nice too. I enjoy being able to see them doing all the cooking. And the menu is perfect burger, chicken sandwich and fries- I hope they keep it this way! read more

Wow! What a place! My friend and I got Chicken Shaw's and it was awesome! He said, "This is the best chicken I've ever had!" Lively environment and great customer service. 10/10 Hopefully open for a long time! read more

Best new spot in downtown Boston. Menu is limited at the moment but the offerings (a cheeseburger, chicken shawarma sandwich, and seasoned fries) all hit the spot. Service was very friendly and the price point wasn't too bad at all for how good it tasted. read more

Burg & Shaw is officially my new obsession. I tried the Burg (their signature burger) and the Chicken Shaw, and both were absolutely unreal. The burger was juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor, and the chicken was seasoned to perfection. You honestly can't go wrong with either. The sauces deserve a moment. The Burg sauce is rich and flavorful, and the garlic sauce is next level. The fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and you've got the perfect combo. Dipping them into those sauces? Elite. What really elevates Burg & Shaw, though, is the customer service and the vibe. The team was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and excited about what they're doing. The music and overall atmosphere make it such a fun place to be. Great energy, great people, great food. If you're thinking about trying it, don't hesitate...I already can't wait to go back. read more

I love this place. The burgers are super good. Very tasty. I also had their ice cream, which was delicious. It's spiced in a unique way I haven't ever tried before. Also, the staff are super nice. Overall, an amazing experience and I will be sure to come back frequently! read more

I accidentally clicked 4 stars on their computer at the restaurant and once I got my food and left the cashier followed me all the way up the street and taps me on the shoulder and demands to know why I gave them 4 stars and what I found was so wrong with them. He proceeds to walk me back to the restaurant and watched over my shoulder as I changed the review to 5 stars. Genuinely so disrespectful and scary, who the hell do they think they are. The place smells too. read more

Went there today with three of my friends and got the burger/fries/garlic sauce on the side and it was amazing! Best smash burger in the city in my opinion, also tried their spiced soft serve ice cream and it was super good, it has a great vanilla base with cardamom spice. read more

I usually don't leave reviews but the service took no more than 3 minutes and the food was great. The vibes are also there.

Super nice location and service was great. but fries had way too much salt and beef patty on the single burger was virtually nonexistent. Weight of the patty is wayyyy too low, because there is more sauce than meat. Tried both double and single patties. Happy for them and would love to see them gain lots of success in the future so I wanted to leave constructive feedback. Best of luck and will try again in a few months! read more

EVERYONE GO HERE. THE FOOD IS SO GOOD AND THE WORKERS ARE SO NICE. IT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY. I've gone here twice and the workers have been so great both times. Camila, Farooq, and Brahim are angels sent from heaven. They have made my experience a 10/10 every time. I love them so much and the food is so good. COME HERE EVERYONE. I LOVE YOU. read more

Terrific sandwiches, great fries, delicious sauces. I love a place that does a curated handful of dishes and does them expertly. This is one of those places. Place gracious service and fast prep. We needed fast dinner on our way home after a long day traveling and our meal was delicious and just what we needed. Will cone again and recommend!! read more
