Best smashburger I've had. Perfectly done and great fries. Ice cream machine wasn't working. The only disappointments.

The meat quality is good, but I ordered the juicy Lucy and was disappointed. I'm from Minnesota where the juicy Lucy is from and this juicy Lucy wasn't even close to what it should be. They use cheddar cheese which doesn't melt like American cheese and instead just becomes a crispy crust on the burger. Maybe their other burgers are better. read more

I was annoyed they started cutting corners swapping out fresh cut potatoes with frozen. They suck and taste flavorless like the other cheap fast food fries. Come on guys, get it together. I also noticed the employees are too relaxed around the customers - joking around with each other and eating in the kitchen. You are charging premium prices for your food. We expect more since you operate inside a rundown kabob place. read more

The juicy Lucy wasn't Minnesota style but delish none the same. It's like Juicy Lucy meets Smash burger. Loved it!

This place really lived up to the hype. Perfect thin/crispy smashburger type burger with the soft bun. Very reasonably priced. Even had great milkshakes. There's not a ton of seating (counter ordering) so if you go at a peak time have a back up plan or be prepared to wait a min for a table. read more

Ran across this place in wow the burgers are amazing so it is the chicken sandwich. The fries are outstanding. Their service and hospitality is truly from the heart. read more

The burger was great! Very juicy and well seasoned. The fries were not seasoned but there is a section to put the seasonings you want on the fries. The decor is very nice. There are many portraits on the walls. Has a deli type of vibe. The service was okay. Not bad but was not good either. read more

Every time I come to this place, I leave with a smile on my face. This is the best Halal burgers in town. Must try if I could give 10 stars I would. Burger is a handmade to custom order amazing beyond words. read more

Jon’s Joint - Burger is being smashed - Burgers Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Came in today 8-30-2025 at 12:00 pm. While at counter to give my order, I said "Hi". Guy in back mocked me by repeating "Hi" and other guy in back laughed. Having unprofessional workers who mock returning customers is not good for business. Both guys wore hats and should be training in professional behavior while working. I will not spend my money at an establishment who employees this type of people. Should be noted, when I stated that was unprofessional, they both just laughed and said nothing. Instead of apologizing. read more

Nice place. Love the movie theme. The Justice League was playing which was nice. They give you a lot of fries (you have been warned!! lol) I have never had a smash burger so this was my first time. I got a single because i have an issue with two pieces of meet sitting on top of each other (don't ask.. lol) Tue meat was seasoned well and I love that the onions were finely sliced. My only critique was that they put a bit too much sauce on it which made it unnecessarily messy. I would definitely go again but ask for no sauce or put it on the side. read more

(4.15) ~ Very good overall food & service. You should be able to park in the CVS lot. MENU: ** Dubai Kunafa = (5) Excellent! Hard to find treat. Love the Pistachio & Kunafa:) ** Oreo Milkshake = (4.25) Very good, make sure to ask for a big straw;) ** B.Y.O.B. Triple Burger = (4.25) Very good, although I will get a Double next time, b/c the Triple was too big for the potato bun. These are 3 oz. smashed bexef patties. Got mine w. American Cheese; Tomato; Grilled Onions; Fried Egg; Jalapenos & added mustard. ** Beef Bacon = (4) very good * French Fries = (3.75) Good, although it would be better if they fried them in Beef Tallow;) NEXT TIME: *** Kit Kat Milkshake *** Patty Melt read more

delicious burgers, great lace, ours were a touch dry but probably just a one-off. tried the jalapeno, okc and regular - okc was the favorite - great flavor from the fried onions right in the patty. fries were solid - very filling with the smash burger on top. they were out of ice cream but will be back to try it and more burgers - one of the better smash burgers in the DMV. also for anyone complaining about size you should always order at least a double for any smashburger anywhere. read more

I had the smasburger and it was worth every penny. Very fun decor and friendly staff.

Jon's joint is definitely a spot to come to if you're in the DC area. I was recommended this mom and pop shop from a co-worker on travel for work. This place didn't disappoint. I had the patty melt with a fried egg, fries and milk shake. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend. Staff was on point and the atmosphere was like I've been a regular for years. I will be back before heading back to VA Beach. Run here!! read more

This was one of the best burgers I've had in such a long time. The loaded fries were amazing as well! The food came out quick and and the atmosphere was really cool! I got a classic with all the fixings as my burger. I'll definitely be back here. I ate it all so fast I didn't have time to take a picture of the food read more

These smash burgers were delish! Nicely cooked and crispy around the edges, perfect. Had the OKC which had griddled onions and melted American cheese. Fries were fresh but not as outstanding as the burgers. The single Classic was also great and good size for my kids. Oreo milkshake also yum. Great addition to all the burger options. Will definitely be back. Want to try the jalapeño burger. We ate so quickly didn't have time to get pics! read more

So I'll start with the good-- the food is great. My 3 year old scarfed down their classic burger, as did my husband. I had the regular fried chicken sandwich and honestly better than Shake Shack. Juicy and crispy, perfectly seasoned, great sauce-- really enjoyed it. The fries are good, not great/nothing special but good fries. My husband liked it so much he went back a few days later to try a different burger and a milkshake which he said were awesome. The bad-- it seems the popularity and press have been a blessing and a curse. The owners are so nice, but they can't keep up with demand currently. The first time we went was a Sunday and my kids and I waited in the car. It became clear it was going to take a long time so I took the kids home. My husband waited over 45 minutes (which for me is enough to not return until they get it together) and then ubered home. He thought maybe it was just a weekend thing so he walked back (walked bc there's very limited parking) on a Wednesday and he said he waited a long time then too. His texts to me read, "I stopped at the burger joint. They're a mess. Not at all ready to do business yet. Ordered at 12:05. I was the third person in line. Still no food." This was at 12:31pm so he waited at least 26 minutes probably more. They have a good thing going, but I hope they are able to hire a few more people and get the food out faster. read more

Stopped in after hearing great things, but ended up having a not great experience. Ordered the Juicy Lucy and it was smothered in the house sauce. So much so it was extremely messy to eat and took away from the burger itself which didn't seem to have much taste. Actually asked for a fork and knife due to the messiness, but they couldn't find any forks. Other minor negatives for me were the off-brand ketchup, and the lack of fountain soda (and no Diet soda at all). I appreciated they had Old Bay available for the fries. read more

Fantastic burgers, fries and shakes. The super hero movies are a nice touch. People that work there are very nice as well.

The burgers were great, and the fries were crispy, though they were just average. Cons: A 45-minute wait for 2 burgers and 1 order of fries is ridiculous! The kitchen and restaurant are staffed by teenagers who vape in the kitchen while they're preparing food. The person preparing the meat wasn't wearing gloves. An adult supervisor is definitely needed to manage the operation. read more

Visited Jon's Joint for the first time and was blown away by the delicious burgers and exceptional customer service! We met the owner who was so wonderful, he made our night. Go check this place out! read more

I came in for business trip and my colleagues raved about this place but of course I was skeptical. One bite and I was hooked!!!!! The restaurant gives mom and pop restaurant vibes and flavor and the price was amazing as well. Definitely will be a go to for sure. read more

I love how thin their beef is and love that it is halal. I'm glad that we are starting to have more halal burger spots in the dmv

I'm giving 5 stars because I can't give 6. I got the OKC. As good a smash burger as you can ever hope to get. Can't wait to try the others! Fries were also solid. Guys who run the place are awesome too! read more

Smash the 5 starts while eating smash burger. Great food, decent service, and ambiance is sub Arlington but the burgers make up for it.

Our first visit. They were out of chicken but went above and beyond to be sure we were happy. The burger meat is delicious and the owner was very welcoming. Definitely worth a stop if you need a fast casual meal in Arlington. read more

First and foremost Jon, please make your cooks wear gloves. Waiting 40 minutes for my burger, I couldn't help but take notice of gloveless cooks putting onions on the burgers and flipping the buns GLOVELESS. Big time ick, and such a bare minimum thing to do. Having reluctantly finished my burger with germs (I wasn't going to let a 40 minute wait go to waste), I'll say it was quite good. Above average burger with good vibes inside, but will go to Big Buns instead assuming gloves are used there. read more

The interior is stylish and clean. The food is sooooooooooo damn good !!! I got the Juicy Lucy, when I tell you , orgasmic ! So damn flavorful and fresh! I will come back this weekend with my man. 10/10 highly recommended and it's affordable too! read more

Finally a good smash burger place! They got it all that I've been looking for in the DMV - classic smash burgers, Oklahoma smash burgers, hell, even a Juicy Lucy from Minnesoooota. Definitely recommend if you're a connoisseur of burgers. read more

Honestly was ok, but feel like this place is overrated, especially for the price. I think my biggest turnoff is how dirty everything seems.

The smash burger was incredible. Honestly it was the best one, I've had. The spicy loaded chicken fries were also great. I think the sleeper hit though, is the ice cream. I initially didn't get the ice cream, but got it and was also great, read more

I had high hopes for this place since I'd seen it on social media and a good average here of 4.6 stars. However I was disappointed. The place is kinda small so they don't have a lot of seating options. My boyfriend thought the wait was long for our food, but I thought it was fine. My food was really good. I got the patty melt with fries. FYI they give you a huge amount of fries that you could easily split with two people. I don't eat a lot of burgers, but my boyfriend who does said he thought five guys was better. My main concern with this place was that it wasn't clean. There were crumbs all over the window seat. There was hair on the condiment dispenser. The floors had food and hair on them as well. It did not make me want to go back. read more

Didn't want to do this cause I don't want everyone flocking here and making it busier than it already is.. but gdamnnnnnnnn!!!! I've tried every burger spot in dc and although not exactly inside dc (Arlington).. this hands down the absolute best! Came for the juicy Lucy and nothing else will come close to the crispiness of the cheese edges with plenty of grilled slithered onions (u can ask for raw onions as well) a nice tart pickle and some of the softest buns.. I got the house sauce on the side but you can build yours however u want! Tried to order the spicy chicken as well but they were sold out so gotta come early. Thanks again and will def be back on the regular.. You def got a lifer here!!! read more

Come for the burgers stay for the fries! I got the Juicy Lucy combo and it's unbelievable that the coke in a can was the best part of the whole meal... the fries were CRISPY! and the burger was good but not amazing and for $22 you'd think you'd be getting something mind blowing. It's like a went to in-n-out only worse! The staff was cool they took my order and that's it no recommendations or suggestions. The vibe of the joint was kinda all over the place but I think they were going for a nostalgic movie theme. Good not great! Not the worst I've ever had but better than McDonald's so check it out just be ready to pay up! read more

Great food even better service, definitely worth the trip !! Don't forget to try a milkshake , strawberry was my favorite . 10/10

Food was okay. I stars because the lack of crispness on the smash burger. Honestly felt like something I could have made at home. Overpriced but expected when you consider the location. read more
