Burgers were the BEST! I think it should be higher than 75th! The owner recognized we were new, checked to make sure we were satisfied. He explained the use of oak wood. We'll be back. read more

Charred Foods - My son & I enjoying the sign! - Burgers Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Charred is hands down the best burger spot in Northern Virginia. We've been three times now, and every single visit has been mind‑blowing. The smoky, charred flavor hits you in every bite, and the burgers are massive -- packed with protein, perfectly sauced, and clearly made by someone obsessed with getting it right. Even my wife, who usually doesn't care for burgers, is all in on these. We've worked our way through the Roadhouse, Original, Jalapeño Jack, and Cowboy. They somehow look even better in person than they do in the photos, and the flavor matches the presentation. And the sides? Unreal. The fries, truffle fries, and Brussels sprouts are all top‑tier. The fries especially are something special. Honestly, these are the best burgers we've ever had -- in the U.S. or anywhere else. You can feel the passion behind every plate. (The owner is frequently there so you know they care about quality!) read more

Amazing food and amazing service! I was overwhelmed with choosing what to get and staff was very friendly and helped me pick. Another thing to mention, which I don't always see at places is the staff looks like they enjoy their job and want to be there and that was just great to see!! read more

had a great experience at Charred Burgers. The customer service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and made the whole visit really enjoyable. You can tell they care about their customers. The portions are super generous, definitely worth it, and the burgers themselves live up to the hype. You can see why they're so highly rated. The patties are hand-formed and have that fresh, homemade taste that makes a big difference. read more

Charred Foods - Ample seats - Burgers Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Great concept !!! Our Food was delicious, and our service was excellent!! Highly recommended read more

Charred Food is one of those underrated gems you're so glad you stumbled across. The moment you walk in, the space feels open, casual, and comfortable -- perfect for a quick lunch or an easy dinner spot. You order right at the counter when you come in, almost like a fast-food setup, but don't let that fool you... the food quality is far from fast food. My burger came out surprisingly fast, but still had that incredible smoky, char-grilled flavor that makes Charred stand out from other burger places. The fries were perfectly crispy, and the Brussels sprouts were honestly a highlight -- so flavorful and cooked just right. If you're craving a solid burger with great sides in a relaxed setting, Charred is definitely worth a stop. An underrated Herndon spot that deserves a lot more love! read more

Still the best burger in the area. They can dress your burger any way you like it and cook it to the temperature you request. Keep up the good work! Support your local family owned business! read more

Gotta speed up the food making process or something... it wasn't that crowded or busy but eating for 30+ ish minutes on 2 burgers... I think they can do faster and better. But other than slow cooking or prepping, The service was great Burgers tasted bomb as you expected Milkshake (pb) was so rich and creamy dude holy poop Mama-mia man That is why I'm still giving 5 stars because overall experience was doo-doo but the service and food covers the waiting time. Yum Yum Yum Go try fam! read more

Still one of the best burgers in NOVA. Wood fire grilled, Make sure you find time to stop in.

We originally walked into TGI Fridays, but after seeing Charred and checking out the menu online while sitting at our table, we decided we had to give it a try. We had the best brisket burger of our lives! We will definitely be back. The owner, Jim, was phenomenal, friendly, welcoming, and professional. The restaurant was also meticulously clean, which did not go unnoticed. Highly recommend! read more

Charred Foods - Brisket burger - Burgers Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

We returned after being unable to eat out due to medical issues. The burgers are still great and the fries, even better. The burgers are still done over an open flame and the fries are hand-cut and done in a special oil. On a weekend afternoon within the Thanksgiving week, we were the only people in the place. Many people seem to be missing out on trying this place. The only problem is the parking situation; hence the four stars. read more

I enjoyed their smoked grilled burgers and fresh cut fries. Nice customer service. Clean and well kept restaurant.

Dropped by after seeing The Mandalorian and Grogu at AMC theater next door! Five burgers. Orders of Cajun and regular fries. Four milkshakes and waters all around. Three cheeseburgers, one veggie burger and a Brisket burger. Cooked to order medium and hot when served. Everyone loved it! We will be back to see Anson and Jim! You should add it to your Burger go to list! read more

My order: Cowboy Brisket Burger: 6.4 oz Halal Patty, Smoked Sliced Brisket, Fried Egg, Jalapeños, Monterey Jack Cheese, Tomato and Lettuce with Charred Special Sauce and BBQ Sauce. Add on: Bacon Note: A Halal Beef Bacon option is available My Review: This burger was absolutely epic. The brisket was melt in your mouth moist, and the patty was cooked to a perfect medium well. The Cajun seasoning on the fries hit just right, neither overpowering nor underdone, just perfectly balanced. And the portion size? Actually generous, which is rare in Northern VA, where you typically get mediocre food in tiny portions at inflated prices. I can't recommend Charred enough. The service was excellent, the food came out fast, and the whole vibe was fun and inviting, with great lighting and an authentic BBQ atmosphere--every single bite delivered. Excellently priced Generous portions that actually satisfy Friendly, attentive staff Locally sourced ingredients Spotlessly clean Top-tier flavor If you're tired of overpriced disappointment, do yourself a favor and hit up Charred!!!. read more

Charred Foods - Cowboy Burger with Bacon and Cajun Fries - Burgers Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

I went back to Charred foods craving a tasty burger while near Worldgate. Anything wood-fired tastes better imo and I also really appreciate that they use high quality ingredients here. Its been a few years since my last visit. Still super good burger, filling and flavorful The place was totally empty and so I luckily got immediate, speedy service and watched my burger being made freshly made right there. The charred brussel sprouts on the menu were calling my name so I also got those but then vaguely remembered I had ordered the same thing last time! They are good if you eat immediately so that they are crispy but can get quite soggy quickly due to the sauce/grease so I could have done with out but the burger was perfect. read more

This is a pretty decent burger joint in World Gate. The setup, the bar seats, and the fancy lights take more than a normal amount of effort. I'm surprised there aren't more people hanging out here because the burger is good! I believe the patties are wood-grilled so you get that unique touch of flavor in your meat. I've also noticed that they source their ingredients locally. The sauces are homegrown as well. You place the order at the front and the staff delivers it to you when ready. It takes a good amount of time like a good, fresh burger should. My usual go-to is the obvious "Charr" burger. LOL It's so good! One thing I can only complain about is the price of the sides and drinks. I pay $10 ish for the burger itself. If you add fries and a drink, it gets close to $20 something. I wish there was a combo option for a more reasonable price. I usually grab a Charr burger and a ShareTea next door for the same price. That's a better deal to me. Another thing I can nitpick is that the place isn't lively if you know what I mean. Long story short, I'd still pick Charred over any other burger joints in the Herndon/Reston area. I'm going to Red Robins in Chantilly if I'm into a combo deal with a double-calorie count. read more

Great burgers and fries! Hand crafted burgers cooked over a wood fired grill. Artisan bread, fresh veggies, and a smoky sweet special sauce that could make a roof shingle taste good. simple walk up counter service, and clean minimalist decor. Between the juicy burger and the sauce, it's messy in the best possible way, so grab lots of napkins. read more

Absolutely top-notch service. Seriously, incredible. I asked if they had ketchup and they brought me 8 cups of mayo, ketchup, and a special burger sauce. As for the foods I genuinely cannot remember eating a burger this good. Not even kidding. I tried like 4 of their burgers all of them being sooo good. You feel special eating here. They ask how the food is, if you need anything, etc. You WILL get taken care of here. The ambiance is also incredible, feels like your local burger place, not some fast food joint. read more

Charred Foods - Charred Burger and Cajun Fries - Burgers Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

I ordered Charred for delivery because I was in the mood for a non-fast food grilled chicken sandwich and the sound of theirs grabbed my eye. The sandwich was fresh and comprised of 2 large charred breasts + homemade pickles but was unexpectedly slathered in a sauce that was not mentioned in the sandwich description. I also ordered brussel sprouts and those things were deep fried to death! I honestly think they were from the prior day and refried, so, I tossed them because they were sooooo oily. The charred corn salad while fresh and tasty was missing the cheese and tortilla strips as described on the menu as well. Probably won't order from here again but may give visiting in person a try. read more

Charred Foods - Cowboy burger - Burgers Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

My husband brought me here after he raved about this burger place. I got the red white and blue no cheese with added mushrooms, and fries. He got a regular cheeseburger. To my surprise, the fries tasted like fresh fried potatoes which made me wonder what do fries normally taste like? My burger had a great smoky flavor and was great - not too greasy or juicy. service was friendly and attentive. The place was clean but was empty, and my husband said the last time he was here it was also empty! I hope they are able to stay in business! Best burgers and fries! read more

Great food, great portions, great prices. The farmhouse burger hit the spot and the fries are perfect. The restaurant has a great vibe to it! read more

This was a nice casual burger place. The staff was very friendly, gave recommendations and checked up on us. I got the Charred burger which had good flavor with the sauces. I really liked that they put a lot of sauce on the burger. The Cajun fries had good flavor, but I would've preferred it a bit more crispier. Overall, I would come back again when I'm in the area. read more

They have very good burger! We come here all the time and they never disappoint us! Love their beef bacon!

great food, burger is cooked over a wood fire grill, milkshake is super yummy - chocolate and/or vanilla! i would recommend sharing fries if going with more than one person, and do try their sauce with the fries too. i would recommend improving the burger patty to bun ratio, every time i had eaten here the burger has not been wide enough to ensure every bite to the end is yummy. BUT i will absolutely come back again to eat here in the future. read more

Solid burger joint in the heart of Herndon, next to the Worldgate Center. I swung by here on a holiday (President's Day, Monday) so it was even a miracle this place was open. Parking is sufficient and there are always open spots in the lot outside. If that's not enough, there's even a covered parking garage a bit further in, but I've never had occasion to use that. It is nice that plentiful options exist, of course. As mentioned, came by on a holiday and they were indeed sorely understaffed. The nice Indian dude who took my order was also the guy who grilled my patty and made the burger. So, that chap clearly wears multiple hats at the workplace; I would gladly tip my hat to that. First time here, debating between signature burgers, I decided to try the Charred because it's kinda their name and all. Asked for a cup for water but that's about it. I tried to get a shake too but they were out of it, this being a holiday and all. Bummer, maybe next time. The burger was good enough. Meat was well cooked, medium rare as requested. Came with bacon too and that was just ok. The burger as a whole was nothing too fancy, but solid enough. No complaints on my end. A good spot to grab a burger. I'll most definitely be back next time I'm in the area; maybe the Roadhouse burger on the lineup for me. I look forward to it! read more

Charred Burgers is a standout in the DMV area's burger scene. The burgers here are nothing short of phenomenal. Grilled on real wood, the patties boast a natural, distinct taste that sets them apart from any other burger joint. Each bite is a perfect blend of smokey, juicy goodness that keeps you craving more. We tried their signature Charred burger with bacon and insane Cowboy burger with beef patty, bacon, brisket and jalapenos (so good!). Generous fries portions ensure you're getting great value for your money as well. In my opinion, Charred Burgers has truly mastered the art of burger making. Their combination of excellent food, ample portions, friendly atmosphere and superb customer service easily earns them a 5-star rating. If you're in the DMV area, this is a must-visit spot for burger lovers. read more

This was okay... part of my problem is I did takeout... so bottom bun ended up soggy which was unfortunate. What I ordered... was a cowboy brisket burger... description is Premium Dried Aged Patty, Smoked Pulled BBQ Brisket, Fried Egg, Jalapeno Pimento gouda blend gouda blend cheese, Charred Onions, Tomato on Cha's Sauce I also asked for raw onion, medium rare, no sauces, and where possible minimize salt... Instead of getting raw onions in addition to the charred onions I got NO onions... unfortunate... Also ordered a kids burger with mustard, ketchup, raw onion... got as ordered but was extremely dry... Adding to this is what appears to be frozen fries... really???? For the price point I'm disappointed read more

If you like burgers Charred Foods is the place for you. They grill their burgers over a wood stove which gives the burger a nice taste. The burgers are a good size and they have a diverse list of burger options. The burgers also come out fairly quickly. I had the "Combo 1" which came with the cheeseburger, fries and a drink. While I enjoyed the meal, I found it interesting that when I asked, I was told the only burger available with the combo was a cheeseburger. Besides the food, the staff are also a great part of Charred Foods' atmosphere. They are friendly and patient (especially when you are trying to figure out what to get). Overall, I would definitely stop by Charred Foods again and recommend stopping by if you are in the area. read more
