This is exactly how smash burgers should be done!! Fresh, hot, and incredibly juicy! Jon's Joint makes everything fresh to order. It only took a quick 10 minutes to receive our entire order, which was 3 burgers, a crispy fried chicken sandwich, loaded fries, and 2 milkshakes! I was very happy with how efficient the service was and the most important part, how delicious every bite was! The smashburgers are made with 100% halal beef and they come out HOT with perfectly crispy edges on the patties and a juicy center. We ordered 3 burgers and each of them stood out in their own way. You can get a single, double, or triple patty burger and add whatever toppings to it too. The jalapeño burger was the star of the show, it had a such a nice and spicy kick to it. I wasn't expecting much but this burger had HEAT! Another favorite was the Juicy Lucy. It was packed with grilled onions and the patty was stuffed with cheddar cheese. A super messy and cheesy option that was definitely worth every bite! I liked that Jon's Joint offered other options too such as loaded fries and fried chicken sandwiches. What I found unique is that for the loaded fries, you can get it with falafel and make it spicy! This time, they had run out of the falafel so I am excited to try it next time. If you're in Arlington and craving a casual burger spot, you need to go to Jon's Joint. You'll get quick service and a delicious meal! read more

Happed upon this place while driving. Was hungry, it was close, had good YELP rating, so I came in. Basic. Nothing at all spectacular. Cute posters. You can tell the owner is really into Superheroes. I ordered the grilled chicken. The good thing is that it is cooked to order. Loved that. Downside, no seasoning, AT ALL. This would be fine, I understand dietary considerations with sodium. What had me perplexed was they had NO PEPPER in the entire restaurant. I've NEVER been at a restaurant that didn't have any pepper. Plenty of salt, seasoned salt and even more salt. No pepper. Burgers seem to be popular. Wasn't very crowded, but seemed popular by locals. It was a "meh" for me. I do however really like that the food is cooked to order. read more

What can I say about Jon's Joint that many others haven't already said? This place is INCREDIBLE! In Arlington you're not short on burger places, from Burger Billy's Joint in Cherrydale to Big Buns in Ballston, and Best Buns in Shirlington. And to be clear those places are good but Jon's Joint on North Glebe Rd always has me wanting more because of their incredible smash patties. I usually get a Juicy Lucy and can't recommend it enough. If you love a cheesy cheeseburger, please get that! There's plenty of seating and parking in the area and it's one of the few places in Arlington that's open past 10pm (Jon's Joint closes at midnight Sun-Sat) which is a rare feat in Arlington which seems to close down everything around 10pm-11pm unless it's a bar. The inside is nice it's got a nice mix of gaming themes and pop culture; but if you go during peak hours you may have issue finding a seat. read more

Absolutely loved this place best Smashburger I've had in a long time!!! my favorites were the classic and the juicy Lucy. I also really liked the spicy jalapeño burger. Fries were also incredible and service was super friendly. Hope to return soon! read more

We visited Jon's Joint, Arlington, VA and it was DELICIOUS . I'm not even a beef burger eater, but I enjoyed this one. They also have a falafel burger for non meat eaters, and a chicken burger as well. And the milk shakes??? Are made fresh with quality ingredients. We heard from someone that they are opening other locations if this one is out of your travel scope. With on premises parking, this is definitely a place you should try. #GoodFood #goodeats #Foodie #fypシ゚viral #fyp read more

Visiting a restaurant for the first time and having a great experience is fine, but consistency is what really matters. I went to Jon's Joint recently and decided to dine it to see what that experience was like. I ordered the OKC burger combo and it was just as fantastic as the first time I had it. - juicy and well seasoned beef with crispy pillowy fries. You can tell that they've improved their packaging with their own branding. There was plenty of seating. The service could be a bit friendlier but I'm willing to accept kind of a cold presence from the person taking my order in exchange for great food. All that to say that Jon's Joint is my go to burger spot in the area. read more

Jon’s Joint - #2 OKC Burger combo - Burgers Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This place came highly recommended for authentic burgers and fries. From the outside it may look a bit shabby, tucked away on a corner, but step inside and you'll find a cosy atmosphere--and long queues that say it all. The burgers were huge and tasted fantastic, and the fries came in generous portions. The kids especially enjoyed a proper Sunday meal that didn't feel mass-produced, but rather locally made with care. Service is counter-based, so there isn't much to comment on there--you order and pick up yourself. Bottom line: big portions, great taste, and a very satisfied family. We would happily go back again and again! read more

Solid food. Service is fair, and the setting is like a hole-in-the-wall burger joint. Not a bad thing. And great for hanging with friends. You'll order at the counter, with tables to eat at. I ordered the OKC burger. Decent for an Oklahoma burger, but could use a little more char in my opinion. My son had the smash over fries, which he enjoyed. And my wife the jalapeño burger. All in all worth checking out. read more

One of the best smash burgers I've had. Edges were perfectly crispy and the cheese texture was perfect. Way better than Five Guys and Shake Shack. Price was not too bad either for a double patty. Highly recommend! read more

Jon’s Joint - Juicy Lucy - Burgers Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Instagram really sells this place. I was excited to try Jon's joint but left underwhelmed. Walked in on a Saturday Afternoon and the wait time wasn't long at all. I talked to the cashier and he advised I get the #1 Classic. Even told me I wouldn't be disappointed. I took him up on his offer. I added the combo for $5. I must say, $2 for a can soda is NUTS. My food came out and everything was hot. They give a large serving of fries which was a plus. They have old bay seasoning on the counter which definitely gave the fries some flavor. Onto the burger. Extremely fat patty on a tiny potato bread bun. The patty is so big and flat that it was kinda dried out. The bacon was solid. Overall it's a decent experience but not worth the hype at all. I see why this place is a tiny whole in the wall with limited signage. read more

Decent smash burger but not my favorite in the area. I ordered the Classic (standard with American cheddar, lettuce, onion, tomato - hold the sauce). The patty is a bit thin and flattened a bit too much - it was the size of a pancake and overtook my tiny bun! And the way they smashed it made the meat a tad dry. The toppings seemed to be an afterthought and smeared on there. The price isn't bad for a burger at $8.95, and if you level up to a combo, you get a drink and fries. Fries were soft and unsalted. I had to douse it with old bay and malted vinegar for extra flavor. My partner ordered a chocolate shake that came with whipped cream and stripes of chocolate syrup, which was tasty! The service staff seemed disconnected and pushed for us to order faster. The night we went they were playing a UFC fight on pay per view, and a whole slew of guys came to watch with the TV turned up pretty loud. Seems cool if you're going out with the guys. But pretty loud and hard to chat, if you're looking for place to catch up with friends while eating (which was what I was doing). My favorite smash burger is still Joia burger in the city. But this will do if you're in Arlington! read more

Been craving a smashburger and wanted to try this place out. Saw something in Instagram that was mouth watering. Knew my next post office visit would weaken my will power. So glad it weakened. I got a single without a pickle. And a side of fries. It was perfect!!! Oh so good. Maybe next time I'll try the double. Fries were crispy and good too. I just got water with it and not the combo with soda which is the same price (I don't drink soda). There is a wait as they make everything fresh. But worth the wait! Tables were clean. Place had a steady turnover. Loved the decor. Will definitely return!!! Next PO trip! read more

Immaculate vibes in the restaurant, had a movie playing while me and some friends ate. Server was friendly and attentive. For a place that opens up super late I wasn't expecting much but everything was so fresh because they're made to order. I got the double Patty Melt with beef bacon; while the beef bacon was inconsistent (one piece was crunchy, the other was a little soft) it's still an amazing burger. I also got the loaded fries with fried chicken. Now this is good loaded fries, the chicken is still crunchy even after drenched in cheese and sauce and the fries still had good texture. That said the only thing I would change is the cheese, I would've used shredded cheese over the sauce as everything gets soaked up too quickly. Overall if you like burgers you'll love this place just note that you will go home smelling like grilled onions haha. read more

I loved all the pop culture art and decor & they were playing a great alt rock playlist! With only a line of like 10 people ahead of us, it took nearly 40 minutes to get our food. The actual beef patties were very good and it's halal beef. We also tried the loaded fries and an Oreo shake - I'd skip on the loaded fries next time but the portion was huge. Oreo shake was pretty good too. read more

Came in @5:45pm after work. The place was bustling. There was a steady flow of patrons while we were dining in. Plenty of seating for dining in. The place isn't quite divvy but it's teetering. Aroma of was strong, to me. Maybe it's the grilled smash burgers. SO didn't smell anything. First time here so I had a few questions and they were promptly answered before we placed our order and grabbed a table. I ordered a single patty OKC and customized it with cheddar cheese, pickled jalapeños, beef bacon and house made sauce in the side. SO ordered a three patty Juicy Lucy, no customization.We both agreed the patties and fries needed seasoning but we liked the texture of the house ground patties. Would have also liked bibb lettuce opposed to shredded. Ingredients were fresh. The beef bacon was good but the fat wasn't rendered out enough so it was chewy not crispy. We left smelling like the grill, smokey...not pleasant on the drive home. read more

Solid smash burgers!! I had a craving for a burger so came by with my boyfriend. We each got their classic smashburgers and shared their loaded chicken fries. We agreed the burgers were probably the best we've had in the area. Next time I'll definitely try their jalapeno one. The fries were good and definitely worth it for all the chicken they put on it. A little pricey but would still get again. Service was okay, friendly enough. Ambiance is super casual. Probably more of a takeout spot but they do have casual seating. read more

Jon’s Joint - Classic - Burgers Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Walked in on a Saturday around 5pm, only one person in line but as I waited for my food about ten people came in. Ordered 3 burgers, one as a combo for $5 which includes fries and a can soda. The fries were big enough to share in my opinion. Also ordered the smash over fries which was fantastic. The toppings were well spread out and layered so every bite was equally good. It's located on the corner, next to townhouses, with plenty of parking. Aesthetic is retro but simple, its giving family owned. I think it's owned by two friends or brothers?! read more

TL;DR: Spectacular smash burgers and other halal eats like loaded fries. Jon's Joint is a newer restaurant serving up halal eats including their specialty, smash burgers. They also have other items such as chicken sandwiches and loaded fries. Food: Smash burgers--You can custom order your own smash burger or get one of their specials. I tried the Juicy Lucy which was stuffed with cheddar cheese, and true to its name, was super juicy. I also had the Jalapeño Burger which had a TON of jalapeños and wasn't overly spicy. Loaded fries--Seriously loaded! They come smothered in their house sauce and a cheese sauce. I added a chopped smash burger. Would def get again! Vibes: Chill and easy-going. Lots of places to sit inside if you dine-in. Parking: There's a few spots out front. Parking wasn't an issue. read more

Quick service. Delicious burgers. I was craving a burger and stopped by Jon's joint after finding them on yelp. On a Sunday night they had a steady flow of business and after trying them I could see why. I ordered the OKC and my partner ordered the #1 with fries and a shake. The burgers were delicious and the fries were tasty. Loved the shake as well. Will definitely return read more

FOOD I had their juicy Lucy, and my boyfriend tried their jalapeño burger-- each with a side of fries and a soda for an additional $5. Both burgers were delicious, though we were glad to have gotten the double patty as a single would have been quite small in ratio with the buns and onions. The fries were also a bit of a letdown as they got soggy/stale quite quickly. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly, and the burgers are made to order. Condiments are available by the soda fridge and include mustard, mayo, ketchup, BBQ sauce, and hot sauces. A bathroom is available inside the store. AMBIANCE Ample seating is available inside the store with tables for 2-4. PARKING Limited parking is available in front of the store that is shared with the neighboring CVS. Side parking is reserved for residents of the nearby apartment complex. read more

With this new burger spot popping up everywhere on social media, I was easily influenced and had to give this spot a try. The Food: I went with the double patty "#1 Classic" burger. It was kind of a let down. For $15, I expected more flavors and a little bigger of a burger. I get that its a smash burger, but it really just looked like I overpaid for a single patty. The char and crispiness of the patty was nice though, I did enjoy that. But overall, it was just an average smash burger, that is overpriced. The Service: Service was just okay. I believe I waited for about 20 minutes for my burger to come out. And that's all I ordered as well, no sides or anything that I thought would take any longer. There wasn't a big crowd before me either, so it could've just been an off day? The Atmosphere: The place had a nice old and retro feel, which was pretty cool. There wasn't a lot of seating available, so maybe ordering to-go would be the better move. Parking is a little tight as well, so something to keep in mind. Overall, a 3/5. Just an average burger, but just very pricey for what you get. If you're curious about this place, I'd say give it a try. But for me, I probably won't be back. read more

Halal smash burgers. That's it. No frills. Fries and fine as long as they are fresh. Burger is elite. I get the okc and the juicy Lucy (which becomes a mess sometimes).

That seems to be a case for a lot of these local places that expand too quickly (ie flavor hive) read more

Hey friends! I worked at Pentagon City Mall this day and a Yelp search led me here for lunch. I ordered the Classic Burger combo($16). While the flavor was good, I wish I ordered a double patty as the single was not enough for me lol. Obviously since it's a smash burger, the burger had no height. Fries were crispy, tasted slightly freezer burnt. Their condiment station was well stocked. I appreciated that they had Old Bay seasoning lol, it's a must have for fries! Customer service was very friendly. The cashier was so tickled that my real name is Capri lol. The restrooms were clean and stocked. Parking is free but limited. Hope you enjoy!

A relatively average burger spot. Inside had a cool vibe and service was pretty decent. The burger quality itself was good. But the burger sauce didn't have too much flavor.

Probably the best smash burger I've had in a longtime. I got the OKC burger with onions grilled with the beef and I added the lettuce, tomatoes and raw onions on top. The fries are crisp and decent.

It was a takeout order, so it's never gonna be as good as eating it there. However, that's not my gripe. They charge extra for lettuce and tomato. Ok, I sorta ok with that. Look at the wilted weak a$$ lettuce and a single super thin sliced tomato. If I was at the restaurant, I woulda asked for some actual lettuce. My patty also had too much of the crispy edge stuff. A bunch of it. Not sure what that's called. Flavor of the burger was pretty good. Would I try them again? Yes. Would it be take out? No. Make sure you get quality toppings not like what I got. read more

Jon's Joint is a newer halal smashburger place, and we decided to check them out for an early dinner - We tried: +the OKC Burger - you can to choose from a single, double, or triple patties; topped with thinly sliced onions, American cheese, and house sauce on a buttered potato roll; extremely tasty and juicy! +a side of fries - this seemed to have been overcooked ever so slightly; would have loved if there was some type of seasoning on them, as they were just naked fries +and, a strawberry milkshake - using custard, this was pretty good; their machine seems to be out of order often You order up at the counter and listen for your name to be called out; note that this place does get busy pretty quick, so you may have to wait for one of the handful of tables to become available. Staff are pretty friendly, and I loved the decor of the place. They were playing 'Karate Kid 2', which I thought was so funny. Small lot outside, but limited parking spaces. +tasty smashburgers +avoid the fries +try their milkshakes +friendly service read more

Great spot with a lively energy. People were constantly coming & going and hanging around with friends, giving the place an energetic buzz. With its dark red walls, a TV playing a mix of movies & shows, and vintage decor spaced oddly around, it isn't what I'd call thoughtfully decorated--but it definitely has its own distinct character. I got the OKC burger and smash over fries. They're made with similar ingredients, so I was expecting them to taste alike--however, the fries were somehow significantly more flavorful than the burger. My two friends agreed. The burger wasn't bad, but it did not compare to the fries. No notes for service. Neat local spot overall! read more

I've been meaning to enjoy a burger from Jon's Joint ever since they opened within the past year. My friend was craving burgers and a shake and thought the peak DC humidity in mid-July was the perfect weather to enjoy them. We stopped by last Friday evening for dinner. The interior has a classic retro vibe, as if the joint has been around for 50 years, not less than one. There were plenty of folks enjoying a burger, fries, and shakes. #3 JUICY LUCY - 9.95 + 5 for fries and soda combo + 3.50 to upgrade soda to milkshake If you've never had or heard of a Juicy Lucy before, it's a beef patty stuffed with cheddar cheese (instead of the melted cheese slice on top of the patty) that originated from Minneapolis. This patty was thin, but there was a lot of melted cheese oozing out of every bite I took. The grilled onions were a nice touch, and the buttered potato roll was soft. This was pretty good! The fries were on the blander side and didn't feel deep-fried and overly greasy, which we kind of preferred more to balance out the already greasy smashburger. Our milkshakes didn't come out until 10 minutes after we got our burger and fries. I got the strawberry milkshake, which was incredibly creamy and indulgent, with small chunks of strawberries mixed in. Overall, this hit the spot and satisfied my friend's craving for burgers and shakes. I liked that the food was not overly greasy to the point where I felt absolutely disgusting eating it. However, it's pretty pricy for what it is, given we paid close to $45 after tax for two burger meals and milkshake upgrades. read more
