In my quest to try every place open for weekday lunch near UB South Campus, I came to Burger Authority. I placed an order ahead of time through Grubhub, and it was ready at the requested time when I arrived. The employees were very polite, and checked my order before handing it to me. I got the garden veggie burger, and added on dill pickle (no charge), and smoked Gouda (a dollar extra, but you don't see smoked Gouda everywhere, so I had to take advantage of this). My husband had the Thanksgiving turkey burger, and we also got fries and onion rings to share. The veggie burger actually has vegetables, with at least peas and carrots from what I could tell, and I liked the tzatziki sauce, though it made eating the burger messy. My husband liked the turkey burger, even if we're not sure why it's described as Thanksgiving turkey, since it comes with a chipotle honey sauce, flavors we wouldn't associate with the holiday. But tasty nonetheless. The fries and onion rings were kind of cold, but you run that risk with takeout, and not dining in. There were no other customers when I was there, not a good sign for noontime on a Friday when classes are back in session. Based on what we had, the food is pretty good and fresh, but if I were a cash-strapped student, it would be hard to justify spending more money here when I could get a cheaper burger and fries at either the Wendy's or McDonald's along the same street. They do offer a 10% discount for UB "family" (not sure whether that includes UB employees, or whether it's just students) but that's not enough for most students. Or, for about the same amount of money you'd spend here, you could go to one of the area Indian lunch buffets, and get a lot more food. Again, I liked what I had, so I hope they stick around, and I'll come again at some point. University Heights could use as many good places to eat as possible. read more

We have ordered food from here twice. The first time the burger and fries were amazing. The second time both were sub-par. The chicken in the sandwich was tough and seemed like it had the dreaded 'woody-breast' texture. So it makes their claim that their poultry comes from local farms questionable. But the worst part is the wait-time to get your food. read more

Ok. They opened yesterday; still working out the kinks. They got some orders wrong. We ordered sweet potato fries, and got garlic fries THAT WERE DELICIOUS! We each got the American Cheeseburger, thick and juicy, brioche bun a thick pickle slice that competently won. me over. The men working were so nice. The place is small, just a few tables. The menu is varied with burgers, chicken, veggie sandwiches , wraps and rice bowls. NO pork. The bacon is beef bacon. 8 dollars for a good size burger which we thought was reasonable. And that burger came with a little American Flag in it, which completely won Don over. Maybe take out next time but we will definetely be going back. Don is thinking eggplant sandwhich and I want a shrimp gyro. read more

This establishment has been open for a few months but is primed to be a classic burger joint. The burgers here are amazing, delicious, and healthy! The portions are generous, the burgers were juicy, and the flavors have been well thought out... well worth the $ for their burgers. Their fries are crispy and fresh. Everything is clearly fresh and hasn't been sitting in the freezer for months and thawed to serve. The owner was kind and helpful. The chef took the time to check in on us during our meal too. By far the best burger in these parts. Go give them some business... make sure they stick around!! Update: stopped by for my second burger here. Still amazing! Employees are super sweet and attentive. They don't have table service. You order at the counter but, if you dine in, they bring the food out. Tip: if you end up getting the spicy beef burger, ask for extra napkins... that spicy mayo is amazing but you'll need the extra napkins read more

mediocre food, always takes forever. Last time they cancelled my order on grubhub after waiting an hour.

Really enjoyed the cheeseburger. Place was pretty busy when I went around 7:45ish

We wanted to try a new burger place, with more variety and different from five guys... which is still good on budget. BUT.... Burger authority blew all the burger joints we've tried out if the park. It was still good even with ordering it as takeout. The burger had that nice from the grill char and bit of Smokey flavor to it. The carefully planned toppings and placements made each bite a delicious surprise of flavor explosion. We also got the chicken fingers. They were sooo good! So different! High quality meat snd lightly breaded. But wait... we also got the garlic fries!!! They were bomb! Still stayed crispy with delivery. I wish they had more garlic flavor to them though. This will be our new burger place moving forward. read more

Phenomenal customer service. Great burgers. Good fries. The wings need some improvement as they tasted good, but in a 'commercial' kind of way. I'd like to reserve my opinion on this, since Burger Authority's customer service was spectacular. As such, I'd give Burger Authority a tip: Please improve the wings! That being said, the burgers had a nice grilled taste to them. A must try in my opinion. For my readers: If my review seems to lack structure, it's because it was intended. I was so pleased with the customer service at this establishment that I couldn't have rated it anything less than five stars! read more

Love their food! But terrible service like 75% of the time. They don't talk to each other so you'll be waiting on an order and they'll have it ready but you could still end up waiting over an hour for food. read more

The burger was amazing. No joke. I got the Burger Authority burger, and it was seriously one of the best burgers I've ever had. I'm comparing this against places like Allen burger venture, coles, and the like. Considering this place is more fast food than those places, the quality was just as good if not better. Burgers are made to order, so it does take a few minutes to get your food. But even still, I only waited maybe 10 minutes. Price is in par with the quality... It's not Mc Donald's, don't expect $5 burgers. But you get what you pay for. Staff was super friendly as well. read more

Great Burgers and sandwiches,excellent service, loved it, recently opened recommend everyone should try them out read more

Decided I'd try Burger Authority to see if it was a step up from regular burger joints. $8.70 for the basic burger - I ordered it rare, no mayo, light ketchup and mustard, extra pickle. It came medium, soaked in mayo, heavy ketchup, no mustard and 2 chips of pickle. The bun had to have been a week old, so stale it was falling apart. The burger itself, although much larger than what you would get at BK or Wendy's, was a greasy mess. Ended up throwing half of it out. You get a better meal at almost any of the chains like Wendys, BK, even McDonalds is a better deal. I noticed most of the good reviews are pretty old, so I have to assume this place has gone WAAAY down hill in the past year. read more

Born and raised in Buffalo and in my 35 years this was by far the worse experience ever. They had me on hold for 15 minutes and seven seconds. You'll see pictured a screenshot when the guy finally picked up the phone. I had no understanding because i could hear the cashier communicating with other customers. When he finally got on the phone he said "i forgot." Upon arrival i placed my order and asked if they were willing to do anything to offset my frustration, they said "absolutely not" with a very unsympathetic posture. Just horrible. Not sure how the food was because i ordered this for someone else however i posted this experience on FB and many said the food was trash. NEVER go here. The kids working there are the absolute worst. read more

Best burger I've ever tasted in buffalo I'm gonna try their whole menu because all are the food is so delicious

I am a burger enthusiast and so I was dying to try this place. A friend and I ordered our burgers (We were quarantined) and were salivating just by looking at them. Our burgers came with cute little flags in them wrapped in shiny aluminum and undoing it was like opening a present on Christmas. These are probably the best -if not the top three- burgers that I have had in WNY! I would definitely buy again. read more

Underrated place- wonderful fresh burgers cooked to desired temp, piled with really fresh toppings. Fries are really great- we had garlic and the sweet potato and both were crisp and awesome. Much better than that place with a 5 in the name. The (owner?) cashier was super nice when I brought a card that wasn't working and had to go home to get money. I'll go out of my way to support this biz. read more

We stopped here while adventuring in Buffalo, and what a pleasant surprise! For a little hole in the wall place, these amazing burgers were massive with tons of toppings. We decided to split a jumbo sized side of fries that we didn't even put a dent in! Definitely worth your money with the serving sizes you get. Try them out!!! read more

Burgers were good. French fries were delicious. Smokey chipotle Mayo on the burger was a nice change. Have to give it a try at least once. Service was great as well. read more

These burgers are truly amazing!! I had the cheeseburger with beef bacon and I was amazed. Tastes very similar to a shake shack burger which is smooth and fulfilling. Also great location right next to UB south campus. read more

Ordered delivery from here. The burgers and fries we ordered were really flavorful and the bun was not soggy and the fries crispy. The same cannot be said for the onion rings, like only 5 of them and generic frozen product. Would definitely order from here again but would stick with the fries. It's a shame they don't offer milkshakes as part of delivery read more

Came in one day with my dad, he really wanted to check the place out. There was little seating When we walked in so I was worried we would have to take out. After making our order, we sat down. Because of the tight seating it was very awkward. And waited, and waited, and waited. It took 35 minutes, for a burger. And chicken fingers to be made. And when we did get our food, it was pretty meh. The chicken fingers were small, and minimal. And the burger was ok. Overall not the best experience. 3 stars! read more

Great service yummy food:) food was quick but quality! server Rochi is very kind and nice ! Great place for lunch/dinner to takeout read more

Been meaning to check this out. No nonsense cafe style decor yet comfortable. Daughter had grilled chicken sandwich and mango smoothie and enjoyed both. Nicely seasoned grilled chicken, very tasty. Son had masala fries which seemed to have little to do with masala but he devoured those after a sprinkling of their cajun-like house seasoning. He also had a chocolate vanilla shake that looked to be of the old fashioned variety. I had burger with garlic Parmesan fries. Freshly made and crisp. Burger done exactly as ordered. All on all a good experience and can see myself going back next time I am over that way. read more

Smoothies are too thicc and I expected garlic on the french fries like the last time. shit restaurant As salam restaurant better.

The owner is very nice, excellent service, amazing burgers, the New York Times burger is a must have, very juicy, perfectly cooked, would definitely visit again next time I'm in buffalo. read more

A must try burger joint. The spicy burger was so good and they are so freindy.. Will be back.. Love this place.

My burger was outstanding and the fries were perfect. This will now be my preferred place to get a great burger.

Long story short, food was so good I forgot to take a picture. The burgers are very high quality. The brioche bun was toasted to perfection and did not break apart and provided a reassuring firmness to hold everything in the burger. The meat is superior quality and you can ask it for medium rare, medium well, and well done. Personally I'd get medium rare but can't go wrong with medium well. The ingredients were fresh and each burger is very unique and full of flavor. The fashion avenue burger incorporated smoked Gouda to give a Smokey flavor to the burger and it works so well with the beef, garlic mayo, and avocado. The addition of mixed green besides just lettuce really made the burger stand out. The New York Times Burger is a meat lovers dream I also highly recommend that. The price is justified for the quality. Also note this place is HALAL. Gibson, the guy behind the cash register, went above and beyond to explain the menu and how this place is halal and was extremely considersate and courteous. Will be coming back and I see this being a mainstay in buffalo. read more

NY City burger chain with NYC prices. Sterile, cafeteria feel to the restaurant, seats maybe 20. Chilly in the cooler months, predicting quite hot in the summer as the whole front is glass. Burgers were just ok, nothing special. Nothing all that exciting in the menu to want me to go back anytime soon. Service was polite but somewhat slow and disorganized, but they were newly opened at that time. read more

I got the chicken Slovakia and the chicken was amazing... for the price I thought the portions would've been bigger. Customer service was good. The wait time seemed a little long (15 minutes) for being the only one in there at the time. read more

My friend and I were looking for somewhere to eat after the movies. He looked on Yelp and found this place. I had the Basic burger meal, it came with fries and a can of soda. It was amazing . The fries were awesome and had the right crispiness to them. My burger was cooked just like I asked them too and the roll it was on was also delicious. I definitely recommend this place. They have a variety of foods and smoothies. read more

Fantastic hamburgers and I had the New Yorker unbelievable and a tropical treat shake too thick and unbelievable In taste. I would come back just for the homemade fries. The staff is very very friendly and willing to work with you and your order. read more

My friends and I were all looking for a good burger place for lunch and we came across Burger Authority on Yelp! We are so happy we did, the workers were very friendly, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere is great! I highly recommend if you're looking for a good afternoon burger! I'll have to stop back and try a smoothie soon! read more

burgers were yummy. nice variety of options. staff were very nice. i will go back and try some of the others

I've eaten here a few times - both pre and mid COVID adjustments. I honestly think that you could make a case for Burger Authority having some of the best burgers in town. The Hell's Kitchen burger & garlic fries have become two of my favorite menu items. While they're currently in a take out only mode, that's not that big of a hit given the small size of the restaurant. They have a pretty diverse menu, but I have to confess that I've stuck with the burgers so far! read more

Some of the best halal burgers we have ever had! We had the New York Times and Burger Authority burgers and both were delicious. Order was ready on time and workers were wearing masks. There was hand sanitizer available and the place was not crowded at all, so felt safe picking up takeout. Highly recommend! read more
