Came here because one of my brother's friends was very interested in coming. Got there right as they opened on Saturday at noon, which was a good choice because apparently they are pretty popular and there was soon a line out the door. Inside seating is minimal so if you want to dine in plan ahead. Overall I think it might have a little more hype than it is worth. I am a vegetarian so I got their vegan burger and it was pretty good, definitely a unique type of patty that it seems like they make in house, but a bit of a weird texture compared to other meat substitutes. My husband tried to get a cocktail but apparently they do not make cocktails... which is strange for a place with a bar. It is definitely a place that has a very one-of-a-kind feel, but almost like they are trying too hard to have that. Others in my group really enjoyed their (meat) burgers. They also don't do substitutions on their burgers so that is unfortunate. read more

I saw a shirt there that said "come hungry, leave greasy" and felt that it was pretty accurate (in a good way!). The burgers and fries were delicious and music appropriate for the theme they had going. Music might have been a tad loud for the kids, but they weren't complaining. Will be back for more. read more

The burgers and fries are amazing. This is fun little, laid back joint to have a great meal in Churchill.

Decent burger. Grossly over-priced. Ambience is weird, annoyingly loud (music). Five Guys is better and if you want to support a local burger joint, I'd recommend going to about 5 or 6 other places before this one. Aloof customer service. read more

Great food, but it took 45 min to get a burger. Music was so loud my brains came out of my ears and I had to eat cerebrospinal fluid on my sandwich. Would recommend takeout when not hangry. read more

Love the marketing and attitude (though not all people will enjoy the heavy metal music). Service great. Enjoyed the personalities behind the bar. Food wise, it's an okay burger. read more

Seating is first come, first served. Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and there were plenty of tables available. We were informed before we ordered that it take about 20 minutes for our food to come out. Timing was spot on. Righteous amount of fries come with the burger (I recommend the cobra fries). Since they are smash burgers two patties are a must to get a good meat to bun ratio. I wish they would have had more sugar free/diet options for the beverage choices that day instead of just water but as people say "hydrate or die". read more

Would have been better if everyone working took like one less bong rip before clocking in. Finished order sat by the window for a solid 20 minutes while the person working the window very intently organized receipt copies instead of distributing burgers. Everyone just kinda shuffled around in there and seemed to have a different perception of time and space. I just really wanted my burgers but God or whoever must have wanted me to wait while I process one's existence. Also burgers were far tinier in "real life" than as portrayed on the internet. Maybe the simulation is broken idk. read more

If you want mediocre burger and extremely salty fries scattered on the burger wrapper making it greasy and nasty in a to go bag with sauces leaking everywhere, this is the place to go read more

please read this review!!! Great spot when you know how to order!!! Fries are fries pretty good no complaints but if you're ordering a burger the patties are slim! so order a 4 patty burger and will be the best burger you've ever had!!!!! The people their are pretty cool! Every burger tastes different in a good way just keep trying till you find your taste. read more

We'd heard about this restaurant, excited to try it, checked the latest hours on website, saw they were open until 9:00pm on Thur nite. Posting on the door confirmed the hours. Showed up to find chairs on top of tables as if closed. Workers surprised to see us and asked "how did you get in?" Ummm open door? We sheepishly slinked out, apologizing all the way (for what, I'm not sure why), feeling like intruders. Disappointed by the lack of regard for us customers and the shared chuckle between them, we left. Musta been a slow night, but we drove in from the west end just to try them out. Not sure if we'll be back, but we still are curious about that Cobra Sauce. Boys were nice but a little condescending. read more

Forget about all the other burger chains around town....On Friday July 23, 2021 my bride and I decided to check out this new venue after reading the recent RTD article about Cobra Burger...! When two 60 year olds are blown away with the delectable taste of the headliner burger along with the pickle fries and smoky sauce....Well then you know where to go. You order at the register, get a beer, and enjoy the vibes and interesting decor. And then your burger feast arrives.....Now it is your turn...! read more

Got takeout from here recently and was blown away with the burgers and fries. The burger was flavorful, well cooked, delicious, and juicy. The pickle flavored fries and ranch were plentiful and crispy. I don't think you can order by phone or web, I could be mistaken as I didn't place the order. My companions enjoyed their food so much that after we ate they went back again for more burgers and fries. Will definitely return. read more

Best burger in Richmond. The fries being "salt and vinegar" is genius and delicious. Meals from Cobra are everything I want with a burger and fries combo. Sauce work is great and anything I have ever ordered has tons of flavor. read more

Heard all the hype and story of this place, really wanted to like the food. We tried the cobra burger, garter snake veggie burger, pickled fries, and regular fries. The cobra burger and veggie burger were so mediocre, nothing standout. The cobra burger patties were thin and well done, nothing like a good juicy burger. The pickled fries were extremely tough and chewy. We asked and that is the way they are supposed to be. They gave us some regular fries which were good. read more

Took my family there today the girl at the front counter was a combination of weird(acting) and kind of unhelpful it was our first time. My wiffe asked about lettuce for our burgers it's was like a foreign object unavailable. Not impressed burgers where okay not great. As a 25yr Business owner and a decorated that front counter can make or break an experience. A Smile and being able to explain your menu without making people feel uncomfortable should be priority number one! Read I edited wierd to Acting weird just Bad customer service not wanting to be helpful (Mr Owner). And after looking at the reviews. As I expected the owner response is trying to sound intelligent but is still somewhat belittling it speaks volume why the service is uncomfortable. Not a solution. It explains our experience and the other customers concerns. If most of your bad reviews seem to be centered around customer service in a service oriented business. Everyone is not making this stuff up. It's scary. The owner missed the whole point. read more

Tried the new brick & mortar restaurant in Churchill neighborhood, right near 8 1/2. Only doing a walk up window at the moment which had a line, but was moving pretty quickly! I got the baby butter burger which was pretty good. I would compare it to a Five Guys burger, but slightly more expensive (but support local, so hey). I did go out on a limb and try the Cobra fries which were the best part! They soak the potatoes in pickle juice before frying...delicious and unique!! read more

This was one of the best burgers that I've ever had! Everyone in our group of four said the same thing. I had the zMSG Burger with the sea salt and vinegar fries. Intried the salt and pepper fries and will have those next time. The atmosphere was very interesting with a heavy metal motif. The pricing was very fair. The restaurant is very small with only a few tables and seating at the bar. read more

Hot tip: walk up and order...way faster than ordering online for pick up! The people who work there seem really sweet and are communicative about the wait time and everything. I have tried a few things: cobra burger, butter burger, the vegan nuggets. Out of those three, I would say my favorite was the Baby Butter Burger. I've ordered it twice now and am happy to have it in the neighborhood. Cobra was ok, and I wasn't really feeling the vegan nuggets which I am kinda bummed about. I will definitely go back for the butter burger though! read more

Best burgers in RVA. Favorite is the Sting Ring. Enjoy the fries as well. Burger travels well, but the fries benefit from an air frier if you have one. read more

I'll make it short and to the point: Burger-wise, in Richmond there's Cobra Burger and then there's everyone else.

Some kinda good burgers and fries with some tasty IPA's and mixed drinks du jour !!! ... love the relaxing music from local favorite Lamb of God !!! read more

I had the best burger of my life at Cobra Burger! Did you know that they use grass fed meat? That they only use premium ingredients? That makes all the difference! It doesn't get better than this! Trust me! read more

Cobra Burger - Burgers Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Really great burgers, good fries. Fry sauce and the cobra sauce are really good. Probably the best burger spot in Richmond.

This place is kind of small, but it makes up for it with the vibes and the food! I got the cobra burger (double patty) with cobra fries and it is definitely one of the best smash burgers I have ever eaten. The fries were also very good especially with the cobra sauce! Highly recommend read more

Cool dudes making good burgers. Get the pickle fries, a order contains no less than 10000000 fries. It's amazing. The house sauce is amazing. Nom nom, do it read more

Be by briskly - buy Big baby butter burger - best burger by bounds - burger breakthrough.

I feel like everyone needs to just try this place. It's amazing. I can't seem to stop myself from coming here for a burger each week. The burgers are all absolutely delicious. I have tried the King Cobra and Big Baby Butter Burger (my personal favorite) and they are absolutely amazing. They have a special cobra sauce and you can pick from regular or Cobra fries (pickled fries ). They also do brunch burgers on the weekends. Along with delicious burgers you get amazing service... I think her name is Marge and she is the greatest! She's normally at the front window taking orders or handing you your online order. I totally recommend placing an online order early! The only other thing that has stopped me from going here more than I should is when they sell out online . Follow them on Instagram @cobrabruger for live updates, they normally post on there if online ordering is closed and they are also sold out so that can save you a trip! Also photos just don't do the food justice. read more

Normal greasy burger. Good amount of fries. You get what you get. Very much over priced but for a local business in a historic section of town it's to be expected. I ordered the single butter burger (nothing overly special) and the garter snake which was cut too thick and cold in the middle. My goal was to support the local business, but there are better options around. read more

Seating is lacking and staff are rude. Food may be amazing but the overall environment is lacking and honestly everything could be improved. Avoid if you have a family and are in your 20's trying to figure life out. read more

Ordered Big Baby and regular fries. Burger was swimming in yellow mustard. Fries would've been good but were incredibly over salted. Couldn't eat more than a third of them. Bar tender was nice. Restaurant is a bit... cold. Limited drink options. The music was a true turn off for me personally. I don't know enough about it to classify it beyond metal. Biggest downgrades due to the crazy amount of mustard, salt, and metal. You do you cobra - just not enjoyable for me. read more

If you are easily offended, picky and/or don't have a sense of humor this isn't the place for you. Quite possibly the best smash style burger I've ever had. Perfectly executed burger with crisp edges, super crispy shredduce and a structurally sound bun. Bar has a small curated selection of beer and liquor. The social media pages are also a source of daily entertainment unless your name is Chad or Karen. Keep rocking! read more

Awesome burgers. That is all I have to say. Also the word limit on these reviews is in essay.

Just walked in to try this place for the first time. Waited for about 5 minutes and walked out. We stood at the entry way as we waited when we first walked in, was never greeted, no one said we'll be right with you, absolutely nothing. Employee walks by us to get to the cooler with the attitude of "watch I'm coming thru" never saying one word. Just expected us to move so that he can pass. Not the place for me. Good Luck! On our way to Citizen Burger! read more

Cobra burger makes my favorite burger ever, the butter burger. I've also really enjoyed their non-meat options too! If you're feeling really indulgent I would recommend checking out their brunch. read more

My son, daughter, their significant others and I agreed to meet at Cobra Burger Sunday, Sept. 24, for lunch. My daughter loved this restaurant, and we've gone there together a number of times over the past couple of years. My son arrived at the restaurant first, and after entering through the unlocked door, was advised the restaurant did not open for another 15 minutes. He said the employee was quite rude in the way this message was communicated, but the five us decided to have lunch there anyway. My son, daughter and I requested our orders come without a bun because we do not eat gluten. We had burgers with fried eggs on top. My daughter paid the bill and included a 20% tip. When our orders were arrived, my son was given a fork, but my daughter and I were not. My son got up and asked the employee who brought our meals, and with whom he initially spoke, if we could have two more forks. The employee was again rude and told him he had been given him a fork. He explained we needed two more, and he was grudgingly given more forks. After my son returned to our table, the employee could be seen complaining to another employee about the exchange with my son. I don't understand why this simple request was met with an argument. A burger with an egg on top (and no bun) is not finger food. It seems the employees at Cobra Burger have earned a reputation for being rude to their patrons and management defends their behavior. This was not an episode of Seinfeld, and I don't feel the food is worth tolerating the unnecessarily rude and aggressive staff. I will not be returning. read more

Really don't see the appeal, was excited because of their antics online, and it seemed they were good, but the patty was smashed to hell, and peppery. Average sauce, bun was alright, I walked in not knowing it was fast casual and the the guy was just like yeah cool. I was like can I get a water not knowing it was self serve but he didn't explain it to me and I didn't see the station, was excited, I liked the guys, like the antics; average food. read more

Burgers are great and the bacon is on point. Plenty of fries so you won't go hungry for sure. People are cool and care too.

We made it a point to go there one weekend because of how much people were recommending it. Prices are a little high, but the interior set up was nice. I was underwhelmed by the burger itself (I ordered the cobra burger), fries were pretty good though. read more

This is a really nice spot! My friends and I got take away for dinner here and really enjoyed it- I got the sting ring w regular fries (but I recommend the cobra fries). The employees were also attentive and made sure we were receiving our orders on time. read more
