Food here is fire! Definitely a slept on burger spot. Shout to Ali as well he gave me his personal favorite order when I didn't know what to get! I'll be making a return visit for sure! read more

The food itself was good. I had a smash burger that tasted like a classic, old-fashioned burger with a well-done smash patty, though it could have used a bit more sauce. The fries were good as well, just on the thinner side. Service was great and I had no issues there. However, cleanliness is where this place loses stars. The food trays were stored outside in a crate next to the trash can, which was concerning. The outside tables were a bit dirty, and the inside was uncomfortably hot to eat in. Overall, my main concern was food sanitation more than anything else. Because of that, I'd have to think about returning and would possibly consider trying a different location that may be cleaner. read more

I am nit a you must have a port o call or swamp room burger person The location must be new. So I will go back. Working in a kitchen that sells a $26 burger( with fries) this is not a post about the price but yet the quality. the sear on the burger was magnificent. the bun is the average potato bun. the fries were bought from restaurant depot. this makes me wonder if the meat is also from the depot. the patty was aggressively seasoned. the cheese options are non existent. i had one slice of tomato and three slices of pickles. i try to dress my burger where every bite consists of all flavors. also i paid for bacon thinking that it would enhance the burger. It did not. one broken piece that was nicely cooked. they ran out of Brussels and ketchup to go. the napkins were c-folds just placed on a table. Atomic burger, Backyard nola, Shake Shack, Company etc are much better at the moment. I would go back to try again. read more

Came here to eat with some friends and we ended up eating both inside and outside because it's so cute both areas! The food was delicious Burgers and chicken cooked to perfection. Of course there was a bit of wait because there was so many of us but besides that we talked to the workers as we waited and had a great time as they were very friendly and personable. We're definitely coming back here and making it a hangout spot read more

Excellent Queso burger. Simple and tasty. Me and my family are already addicted to it

Burger Nerds makes an extremely crisp and crunchy smashburger style here. I'm not a big fan of these smash style burgers that are crunchy and crisp but many people seem to love them. They have opened in Metairie now in the old Poboy King spot. It is an alright burger but just not the style I prefer. I like a big 1/2 pound patty that is cooked medium and full of juice and great beef flavors. I liked their location at Courtyard Brewery better and I miss Poboy King. This new location seems very popular. Hey Yelp moderators stop deleting my reviews over ridiculous accusations that I posted the same experience to multiple reviews. I very clearly have pictures for very different locations proving I was at different locations. The food is the same at the locations and my review of the food is the same for those locations (even though I hoped for improvement). If I'm magically posting a duplicate review then delete my pictures as well that are totally different for each location. Yelp has deleted so many of my reviews for NO valid reason over and over and over and over.... Seems to mainly be when I give a less than good review of places that advertise with Yelp... Maybe if Yelp gave a way to actually respond to the emails about removing my content I wouldn't have to post it in the actual reviews over and over and over.... read more

There is a cute little area outside. The staff was less than courteous. The burgers were dry and overcooked. The need sauce and queso helped some but I won't be going back. read more

At Burger Nerds the Queso Burger isn't here to play nice--it's a full-on flavor uprising. This bad boy smashes juicy patties with a generous helping of melty, defiant queso that gives bland burgers the middle finger. It's the kind of burger that makes you question all your life choices about low-carb diets. And then there are the Brussel sprouts. Yes, you heard that right! Crunchy little anarchists that crash the party with a tangy kick, flipping off your taste buds with every bite. (Side note: I hate brussel sprouts in general and I was converted after eating them) read more

For the good: Very friendly welcoming place. Good service Not so good: The shoestring fries very basic, good for little children. Totally lacking in flavor. Really not so good: The burger! It was well smashed, but of very poor quality beef, no flavor profile at all. I had the double and honestly if I was blindfolded I might not know I was eating a burger except for the smell. Lettuce, onion and pickles and cheese ok but nothing great. The really bad: The shake. Just. Don't. Get. It. Awful. How can someone truly make ice cream & chocolate awful? They use straight out of the plastic squeeze bottle Hershey's chocolate syrup. Some off-brand vanilla ice cream. They mix it up in the blender and there ya go - a "shake". I only had a few sips. Awful. Rip Off. The verdict: I wanted to like this cute place, but for $20+ bucks I will never go back there. Too many nearby places have quality hamburgers so save your money and just drive on by. Check out Guy's or Shake Shack and Martin's Wine for quality burgers. read more

Wanted to try a different burger spot than my usual haunts. Went to the metairie location. It's pretty small and there's very limited street parking. Was able to snag a table inside. I guess I thought the name Burger Nerds would come with a variety of burgers. There were only 2 burger options. Got the regular smash burger and fries. It was fine, but I don't think I would drive out of my way again to have one. Lots of competition out there. Service was good and efficient though. read more

Hello to the burger of my dreams... I barely took pictures because when the food got to my face it was the first time I thought "phone eats second" . The meat itself was smashed to perfection with caramelized onions and the perfect sauce. The buns were buttered deliciously and were the perfect parting. The space is small on the inside but there was outdoor seating. It is def a place that is mainly togo. Service was quick and food was fresh! I would say that this place is a bit of a splurge but worth every penny read more

So delicious! Everything came out perfect. Got the queso burger and loaded fries 10/10

Food was delicious!! Staff was very nice. Menu was a little confusing but staff was super helpful. Burgers were the smash style and cooked perfectly. Will definitely go again. read more

Food was horrible , entire order was wrong , fries undercooked, no cheese on the burgers even though we ordered CHEESE burgers. They ran out of fries and asked if we wanted a milkshake instead , we said yes BUT got no shake, the girl along with the rest of the staff DO NOT know what to do OR how to run a burger joint. Boy on the grill looked completely lost , girl clueless , guy with pink hair doing the bare minimum. We waited over 30 minutes and watched our TWO burgers sit there. Place is small and over crowded . Don't go here . read more

Service is very good. They tend to smash the burgers a little too much at times. Good fast place read more

The cashier on 5/3 at 4:28 greeted us immediately. We were pleasantly surprised it wasn't crazy busy. It's our 3/4 time trying to come. We all got burgers and fries. We waited almond enjoyed the yummy smell. The service team were in sync. He cleaned the grill between rushes. I'm impressed and we have not eaten yet. Easy lil burger joint. Not fancy but efficient. Loaded fries that were supposed to have bacon but they didn't have bacon and they didn't tell us and we got two orders and that cost$6 extra. But they rectified it without a prob but only after we asked. read more

I finally got to try Burger Nerds! Im so glad they opened up a spot in Metairie( next to CVS near Bonnabel). We wanted the whole experience since this was our first time so we ordered a single & a double signature queso burger, brussel sprouts and loaded fries. Burger- loved the crispy edges, soft potato bun, perfect size(I ate the single) and the queso added the perfect craveable touch. I was actually skeptical of queso on a burger that their recipe is awesome. Now all I think about is that queso! Brussels- obsessed! Even our 3 yr old couldn't stop eating them. Fries- As a self appointed fry connoisseur, they were pure perfection. Just the right size and amt of toppings. Have your fork ready! Customer service- this puts them over the top honestly. Its an open kitchen and everyone was smiling and genuinely happy the entire time. Super accommodating and made us feel appreciated. We will be regulars because of this and the fact I cant stop thinking about the delicious burger. Sorry Bubs, I'm in love with someone else. read more

Ordered pick up. We both had the classic with fries. Solid burgers. Good crispy smash to the patty. Fries were somewhat akin to a Rally's fry. My dining companion had a side of queso to dip. He reports that it was good queso. Not my speed. He definitely came home smelling like a smoke stack. That is understandable since this is a new establishment. They will get the ventilation worked out soon, I'm sure. Great fast, casual addition to the area. read more

So I guess I am not a fan of a paper thin dry crumbled burger. Lesson learned. Friendly staff, small dining area, grill puts off a lot of heat. read more

Burger Nerds is a cute little burger joint with a fun vibe. I tried the queso burger, and it was definitely yummy, but keep in mind--it's a bit pricey for the portion. Still, a nice spot if you're craving something tasty and don't mind paying a bit more for a boutique burger experience. read more

Burger ok - sautéed onions were good - but soggy, greasy, chewy & cold fries? They had been sitting there awhile. Not for $18.00. No thanks... read more

Burger Nerds - Smash burger & soggy French fries - Burgers Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

not gonna lie went here early 2025 I was disappointed, queso burger was okay , fries were hard as chips !

Best burgers in town! The burgers were flavorful, incredibly juicy and absolutely delicious. The staff are total rockstars - when we called to check their closing time, they told us they'd stay open to take our order. We got caught in a parade and thought we'd miss out, but they patiently waited for us! The only regret I have is not getting a double burger instead of a single and ordering more fries. The single is definitely filling, but I didn't want it to end! read more

I love a good smash burger and Burger Nerds has quickly become one of my favorites and must haves when I'm in the neighborhood. I love the queso burger. All of the ingredients tasted so fresh! The loaded fries and brussel sprouts are also phenomenal. Get the nerd sauce on everything. Trust. The people working are always super nice and I love supporting a local business. read more

Burger Nerds - Queso Burger - Burgers Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Hubs and I have to give a huge shout out to this establishment!!! The owner was awesome!! There was an estimated 45 minute wait, and we can honestly say, even through the mild sweating, we didn't mind. The place was booming with business, and to combat the wait the owner offered complimentary queso fries and water while we waited. He was super appreciative of our business and our patience! We were top of the line impressed! FYI, it was worth every bite!! We both had the queso burger(single and double) with the perfectly crispy fries!!! I think the little patron sitting next to us concurred when exclaiming "this is the best burger!!!(something like that) Anyway, she was correct! As I stated there was a wait, but a pleasant one. Ladies, gents, boys, girls, and all families looking for a spot to have a burger, give burger nerds a try, they don't disappoint!! read more

The burgers were good!! They were a bit overpriced for everything. Wanted to see what the hype was. Tried it and...

AMAZING!!! Some of the best service I've had yet. The employees made sure I was taken care of and the food was a 10/10.

I had heard of burger nerds and since I was in the mood for one I figured I'd go to closest to me in metairie. It's a straightforward menu which suites me fine and naturally I went for the classic as one would when trying a burger specialty eatery for the first time. The burger was good or ok. Truly nothing special. As a whole it tasted good BUT only because of I think is a sauce? And the grilled onions on it. The Pattie itself was bland but again as a whole with the dressings it was good. I can't say that this burger is special or outstanding. NOW for some harsh reality. I opted for the double Pattie $15!!! The single is $12 in my opinion that's a ridiculous price BUT I'm sure there's always a reason. I reluctantly got the fries $4 I wish I didn't No drink and so now it's $19 for a burger and a portion of fries that was about the size of a kids meal. $4! Sorry but that's more like a $2 side. $25 later (I left a $2 tip) looking back, it's just too expensive. No drink. I think at $12 or $15 it should come with that side of fries. Skip the fries save the $$ other sides looked too expensive too. It's a hole in the wall burger spot (not an issue ) but the pricing is ridiculous for what you get. I won't be going back but curios to know how others feel. $25 I can get a boutique burger WITH fries and a genuinely top notch meat with a taste to it. My final thoughts : double Pattie dressed with fries $12-$13 tops! Single Pattie with fries $10 Give me that pricing I may reconsider. I can't recommend this place knowing how much you'll spend but one can only give an opinion if one pays and tries. read more

My dad and I went to Burger Nerds today and we thought the food was GREAT! We both got the Queso Burger and one Queso fries. My dad said he liked the Burger better than the fries but the fries are still nice I thought the burger was really good and juicy! I thought the bags that they give you for your food was really cute! Also the staff were really nice ! We will definitely be going again. read more

Its a delicious smash burger. Nicely prepared. Would repeat. However its really just the food. Ambience is just about turning out great food. read more

Food was delicious! Loved the queso burger. It's small inside with only a few tables but there are also tables outside.

This is my first time visiting this establishment. Food in itself was good. Burgers are small for the price. Restaurant is small with limited inside seating. Outside seating is available under umbrellas. Customers are too lazy to put their trash in the garage can. Inside of restaurant is warmer than usual bc you are basically sitting in the kitchen. Interior of restaurant is very clean. When ordering online, you can not order your drink. It has to be ordered when you pickup your order and paid for separately. read more

First time back since my last review. Everything still delicious. They have upgraded the air conditioning situation. read more

Absolutely amazing smash burger! Queso burger was amazing!! The service was quick. Ambiance is what you'd expect from a small restaurant. Definitely should give it a try. I know we will be back and for a family of four with drinks and fries we only spent around $60 not bad! It's honestly one of the best hamburgers I've had in awhile. read more

It was OK nothing to write home about parking is tight. Seating is tight. Prices are pretty high for a burger and it was pretty average.

$60 for 2 burgers, 2 fries, 2 drinks, 1 side of Brussels sprouts. The burger was mid but even if it was the best burger of my entire life I wouldn't be back at that price point. read more
