My son had a turkey burger, I got a Bucky Burger with iceberg lettuce and we split the sweet potato fries... yummo! Wish there was one in Chattanooga!! Will definitely visit here again!! read more

My food was cold, and it was the most bland thing I have ever eaten (a basic cheese burger) but the fries were worthy of a return. Don't recommend the shakes, but a kid would like them. read more

Four stars for the food, one star for services. One waiter is so patient and kind to make me wanna ask him out.( just kidding) read more

MOOYAH - Burgers Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Not sure what the hype is all about. I ordered the badger burger and fries with a side of MOOYAH sauce. Service was prompt. The food was nothing special. The sauce is glorified thousand island just like every other place that has "special" sauce. The burger patty had way too much seasoning, and the fries were drenched in salt. The only major positive is that the burger stayed together and wasn't sloppy. However, I would much rather go to Dotty Dumplings two blocks away. This place is worth a try if you're in a time crunch and want a quick burger. read more

MOOYAH - Badger Burger - Burgers Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Always willing to enjoy a decent burger to be found here! Expensive but worth it especially if you add a shake, which proves a most delicious treat read more

This was a solid 3.5, but I'm in a good mood,, so 4 it is. The obvious comparison here is to Five Guys, and I think it matches or exceeds it in pretty much category: +Nice space (extra points for 90s rock) + Friendly, helpful staff. Instead of doing strict counter service, they call your name, you raise your hand, and they bring it to you. It's a small touch, but a nice one. + LOTS of options. They have four or five different cheeses, a few roll options, and a long list of condiments. You can also order a turkey burger, which like. They definitely blow 5 Guys out of the water here. + Good quality condiments. I had avocado, fried onion strings, and sautéed mushrooms. They were all fresh and tasty. The mushrooms seemed to actually be fresh, unlike 5 guys' canned BS. + Food was attractively presented on a metal tray covered with a piece of brown paper and a toothpick in the bun. Definitely nicer than 5 guys' grease-spotted bag. + Very nice bun. + Solid fries. - The burger itself was really not that good. It was undersized, overcooked, overseasoned and dry. This is the downfall of places like this. If I'm going to indulge in a burger, I want it to be juicy and delicious. There's no such thing as a juicy well-done burger. You can make it greasy, like 5G does, but you can't make it juicy. You have a grill. Figure out how to cook a burger to order and slap a warning on the menu. - A little expensive. $10.50 for a burger with avocado and a small fries isn't terrible, but it's nothing to rave about. I can get a better burger cooked to order at Roast Public House for that. - No nutrition calculator. Am I really supposed to page through a Byzantine table to add up each ingredient? Make a damn calculator. -According to their website, a single burger is 5.3 ounces pre-cooked. A double burger is two 3.3 ounce patties. That's total horseshit. I'd definitely pick this place over Five Guys, but I don't see myself picking either one in the near future. read more

The free add-ons sounded appealing and included items like fried onion rings, sautéed mushrooms, etc and then there's the option to add applewood bacon, avocado and cheese for an extra $.99. And interesting sauces like spicy ranch, Cholula and mooyah sauce. I totally loaded up with practically all the options available just to be served a flat burger. What?! Instantly, I was disappointed and thought how Five Guys would serve up a burger were I can barely open my big enough to take a bite. I opened the burger to make sure all the ingredients were there. Unfortunately, they were. The worse part was the flavor. Must be because I went right at 9:30 (they close at 10). But my entire burger tasted like oil. Couldn't taste the spicy ranch, couldn't taste the fried onion (but it did give texture) and I couldn't taste the patty. I gave it a try, but will probably won't be returning. read more

Just tried mooyah today and love it! The menu is highly customizable and the restaurant has healthy options. I was apprehensive about getting the turkey ice burg burger, but it was surprisingly very rich and moist! You can choose your own toppings. There's a list of free toppings and premium toppings, which are no more than a dollar extra . The sweet friends had such a wonderful warm aroma. Didn't feel greasy at all which is what I really like. And it also wasn't over salted , which is more of my own personal pet peeve. read more

MOOYAH - Turkey burger and sweet potato fries - Burgers Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I went to MOOYAH on a home football game night and got my take-out order of burger and fries under 15 minutes. I ordered the Mushroom Swiss Burger, which is one of the cheaper options. The beef was juicy and the mushrooms and mayo supplemented the beef well. I also like the potato bun, which had the texture of a brioche bun. Though delicious, the burger was a little too greasy. The potato fries were solid as well. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The individual-sized portion was very generous. They filled the fries cup to the very top and a lot of the fries overflowed into the bag. Don't be put off by its hectic State Street locale. If you have a craving for a warm, delicious burger, MOOYAH will do the job. I can't wait to try their milkshakes someday! read more

It's ok, but if I had a choice I'd rather eat at Red Robin and it's pretty pricey for a cheap thin burger patty's

Not sure how I've never heard of this place. But I'll definitely come back again. Made to order burgers than taste awesome and fresh. For 2 great burgers and fries for under $20 you can't go wrong! I got a turkey burger on a wheat bun with blue cheese, hot sauce and jalapeños and my husband got a double burger on wheat bun with mooyah sauce, sautéed mushrooms, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato and cheddar cheese. read more

The delivery service and timeliness is top notch. The fries were too salty to eat and the burger had so much BBQ sauce that I couldn't taste the rest of the toppings. Less is more. The fries looked amazing. The shake was amazing. You just don't need to overdo on the toppings. I still want to give them a another try and this time specify ez BBQ and ez salt on fries. read more

We were here on a weekday at lunch. It's a little pricey with a la carte menu, and not fast food so plan accordingly. It was a 30 minute wait for two burgers, a batch of fries, and two sodas. It could stand to be cleaner as well. Not terrible but so so. read more

We have ordered take out from MOOYAH in Sun Prairie several times and this was the first time our food was cold when we got it home. Picked our food up right away so it didn't sit very long. The potato chips we ordered had no salt on them. Tasted stale, greasy and bland. We've had them before so we know they can be good. We won't be ordering from them for a very long time. So disappointing. read more

As far as burgers go -- these are them. They're consistently decent and relatively inexpensive but they're not going make you say "DAMN!" after every bite or anything. Unless you've got a sore jaw, I guess. Anyway, they've got good fries. Decent service. If that were it I'd probably lean toward the 2 side of 2 and a half but where Mooyah tipped to 3 is because of their shakes. Any burger joint can have a shake machine but Mooyah manages to crank out some really solid shakes. I know what you're thinking, "Mr. T, why not get a shake from one of the ice cream shops around there?" Well, obviously ice cream shops have great shakes and if that's all I want I'm more likely to go there. However every once in awhile you want a shake and a burger and Mooyah is definitely one of my 1st thoughts when that impulse hits. read more

Great burgers. A little pricy but worth it. I had the Keto burger and the sweet potato fries. Hot and fresh. Friendly and fast service. Worth the trip. read more

This is probably one of my go-to places to chow down on a burger. MOOYAH offers so many options including regular burgers, turkey burgers, all kinds of toppings and condiments and even a lettuce bun(or whatever you call it). Their portions are very good, good size burger and huge serving of fries! I particularly enjoy the State Street location of MOOYAH. It has a friendly, fun atmosphere and is always lively, yet the service prompt and fast. read more

Best sweet potato fries! Regular fries are also worth it! We get the Badger burger, which is a must try.

Yum yum yummy! If you want a dripping juicy burger PERFECTLY grilled with the most squishy delightful bun- this is your place! Super friendly service and happy employees here. We enjoyed the outdoor seating and fun goofy sights on State Street. Great burger stop. read more

I'm taking a star away for today's order from Mooyah because my items were not tamper proof when prepared. Usually there would be a red tape over the shake so no one can add anything b to the shake and the bag of food was not really secure. Someone could have easily reached in and tampered with my food. Ugh!!!! read more

Great service, Great food. Tons of options and nice atmosphere. Prices are reasonable! Haven't tried their shakes but I'm sure it'll match up to the great food they have there. read more

So in Madison for the day and got handed a flyer on the street for Mooyah Burgers 10th Anniversary! Offered a free tshirt and a free cake pop with purchase of a shake. Okay......I needed a burger and a shake. I ordered the Double with lots of goodies included no Mooyah sauce. Had it lettuce wrapped.....just cause. Ordered fries and a shake as well. Burger and fries came out nice and hot and made to my order specifications. Shake hadn't arrived yet. Burger was nice and juicy. Now folks these are SMASH burgers so they will be thin.....but oh so delicious. Fries were really good as well. I asked for my malt and wound p waiting 10 minutes to get it....that's why 4 stars and not 5. Not sure but it seems they have just one shake making thingie......not good when the place was packed. When the shake arrived it was amazing and the added cake pop was a nice touch. Yes I would come here again. Yes I would try some differ not options on my burger. Yes I would get another shake....if it comes out quickly. Long way for me to drive from San Diego though....but if you are in the area give em a shot. read more

Sometimes health is a priority, and other times you want french fries. When I find myself stuck in this catch-22, I go to MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes. That might seem a bit confusing, but seriously, you are provided with numerous options to make your burger stand on the healthier side of things and still walk away with some killer fries. Life is about balance, right? I always build my own burger using their iceberg lettuce as an option instead of a hamburger bun. Then, I load up on the veggies until I feel like my trainer would be proud and order a side of the best french fries on State Street. The vegetables are always nice and fresh; your burger is cooked on the spot, and the staff is always approachable. In regard to the "fast" part of fast food, I would say that MOOYAH is about as quick as a burger and fries would be at any semi-specialty burger place (think Five Guys). The one major advantage to this is that you will get to your destination on time and with food in your belly that won't leave you feeling oily and gross an hour later. If you are finding yourself already on State Street and on the hunt for a good burger in a sublime location (and newly with casual outdoor seating), look no further! read more

I ordered this in September of 2017 and the fact I can remember everything about it, says a lot. Now I had heard things about Mooyah but I didn't know who they were or what they did. All I knew was that I was hungry and had just moved into Madison. My first thought as I looked at my turkey sandwich, the little moo shake and the fries (a size, I will never admit to). I customized the turkey sandwich on a potato bun with sliced avocado, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, fried onion strings, Grilled onions, Mooyah sauce and Frank's Hot Sauce. I remember the first bite and I felt my soul leave my body. I inhaled so much. . . in so little time. I know my coworkers looked at me in shock but dude, it was good. read more

Went to Mooyah today while strolling up and down state Street, it's alot like five guy's. The Mooyah burger was juicy and the fries were some of the best I have tasted especially with the cheese sauce I was pleasantly surprised! read more

This place is wonderful. They are no frills and really serve the menu that they say that they're going to provide. The ingredients are fresh and the burgers are to a level of perfection that is hard to find in most places. I've been there every time I need a decent sustenance in Madison and I haven't been let down once. Really keep up the good work and I am so happy that you guys are so far my favorite restaurant in Wisconsin. read more

Well, they have a few healthy options so that's nice. I got the turkey burger club. The bacon was way too crispy and there was too much seasoning on the patty but the rest of the sandwich was pretty tasty. My favorite part of going there was the fries, for sure. They're the perfect amount of crispy-ness. Overall, I'll probably be going back but it's not a first-choice kind of place. read more

They've really gone downhill. I ordered an iceburger, which is a burger with iceberg lettuce as the buns, and the lettuce "buns" were so small and thin that they didn't even cover half the patty. The contents inside were so tossed up and mushed together that I don't think they even tried to make it resemble a burger. If I wanted an incompetently made salad with overcooked beef I would have asked my 11 year old to make it, and he probably would have done a better job. Would not recommend. read more

MOOYAH - Iceberger - Burgers Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

The good - Shakes here are better than anything at competitor burger joints. Better than anything Shake Shack has to offer. Fries are decent and they give a lot of them. The cashiers are also friendly and helpful. The bad - The Shakes are so good, but the sizes run rather small. The ugly - Both times I've come here, the burger patties were super thin and drenched in grease. While the customization of toppings is great, the actual meat is the worst at this price point...significantly worse than Shake Shack, In n Out, Five Guys, Red Robin, etc. Heck, I'd rather have a Burger King patty. Come to MOOYAH Shakes for their great shakes and maybe an order of fries. Skip the burger. read more

Very good burgers. After the Badger game there was a line but went super fast and got our food fast. Very tasty and very fresh!

Normally I like the food and it's usually a lot. When you get a burger they warn you the large fries are a lot. And when you eat in it is, a little too much for 1 person. So I thought I would get a family size fry to go. When I got home it wasn't any bigger than a large it seemed. Very disappointed. I seriously could NOT feed a family on this. It was a waste of money. Like most places near State Street never order anything extra you don't ever seem to get it. read more

MOOYAH - This family size is about half the size of a Culver's family size for the same price. Don't order that. - Burgers Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

TOOOOO PRICEY! The cheapest no frills cheese burger is $7. The smallest sized fry order is $4. I ordered the Bacon Jam burger for about $9 - without fries and drink. It looked nothing like the picture on the menu board which showed what looked like a glistening 1/3 lb. pub burger patty popping out between the buns. The first impression I got when it was served to me was "where's the beef?" as the disappointingly average sized patty was hidden inside the bun. The burger tasted OK though the meat was a little gristly. I really enjoyed the light and airy fresh baked bun but I had better burgers for A LOT less elsewhere. The restaurant atmosphere and decor was modern, hip, fun, and pleasant. But after dropping almost $10 at this place for a burger, my belly still felt empty while my wallet was even emptier. Perhaps I'll return here again for a burger or two AND a side of fries......when I'm lighting my cigars with burning $100 bills. read more

Got our office lunch from Mooyah today and I have to say I'm impressed! All the orders were correct, assembled correctly, in each individual labeled bags. When I arrived to pick up the large order, the manager apologized for a slight delay for the fries because they wanted us to have the freshest, warm, crispiest fries possible! They even offered me a fountain soda to 'compensate' for their good intentions. The large windows added welcoming sunlight during this visit. Terrific staff, and lively atmosphere. We all got different versions of the burgers with having both white and multi-grain (they also offer lettuce wrapped), loaded with different toppings (additional meat, cheese, bacon and avocados are the only extra $!), and all reported back satisfactory. I personally liked the white buns better than the multi-grain, the multi-grain had a sweet flavor and distracted from the juicy, lean, savory burger patties. The burger patties are what I would describe as a little more thicker than Culver's, but not as wide like Red Robin's. The beef patty are advertised as 100% lean and never frozen, and you can definitely taste it in the uncompromising beef. I elected to get the sweet potato fries with my order ($0.50 more than regular fries) and it was a good bet, crispy outside and cooked throughout, none of that limp-y nonsense. The small order of fries was plenty for me, served in a small to-go drink cup, I still have some leftover for a snack later. Try dipping them in the Mooyah sauce (a runnier Thousand Island)! It is a la cart ordering system, so you are surpassing Culver's in cost, but comparable to Five Guy's. read more

The walls in the bathrooms have toy robots and other childish moments. The restaurant itself is in a building too expensive any of us normal people could live in. Target market: expensive children. The process of ordering at MOOYAH was really easy. The person at the register had a real opinion about food and was pleasant despite my normal all-too-inquisitive question process. The short menu has its highs, and the burger itself had just a few options. Cheese is listed twice because the clientele here is unlikely to realize that is a real option. Dummies are welcome here! I may sound negative to you if you don't like the idea of being a child, but you're the one looking up a yelp review for a burger place that was built from a template. I can't say I'm any more mature than you. If you've suffered through four paragraphs of this I suppose you are entitled to know how I felt about the burger. The patty is smashed, which is great. I think the plancha could have been a bit hotter for more sear - you are getting a well done burger anyways, so like, we might as well go full char. I think to double down on this well-done-anyways mentality I would be stoked to have a *smaller* patty and triple patty burger as the large option. I mean, to me the choice between single vs double is really "sensible" vs "celebration of gluttony". I would even take the same overall weight of burger if I could get more sear. The burger options are absurdly long. This is where it reminds me of Five Guys. The part where it reminded me of McDonalds was the secret sauce. And the corporateness of it all. The employees all seemed relatively happy, and the food was better than McD, so like, the only sad part here was my wallet. I have devoted all the time that I wanted to on this review. I know it's not perfect, but hey, it's here and at least one of you dorks will message me about this so win win ***They have malt vinegar and tiny totally out of place cups to let you put that malt vinegar in. I very much 100% respect this manuever by management. Aesthetics are cool, but hey, we need that malt vinegar even if you can't get the MOOYAH(tm) paper cup. read more

Our first time at Mooyah. We were greeted by a friendly employee who explained the menu to us, and our party of 7 ordered 2 children's meals, several burgers, and an order of family fries. The food was delicious! The grilled cheese that came with a kids meal was a bit underwhelming, but hey, grilled cheese isn't what they're known for. We loved the burger style, with a ragged edge. The family fries order was more than enough for our crew, which is saying something! We would love to eat at Mooyah again. read more

I really enjoyed my burger there last week. We were visiting from Kansas City. You get to choose from 20 different things to put on your burger and you really only pay for bacon & cheese. The burger meat is fresh, buns are cooked in shop and fries are great. They slice them with the skin on and taste great. I would highly recommend. read more

If I could give them 0 stars I would. Absolutely terrible service. I was delivered the wrong order and called to get ahold of someone and the first 5 times it rang and went to voicemail and after that it went straight to voicemail because they disconnected the phone line. There is no easy way of reporting an issue and no way at all to get it quickly resolved!! Order from any other burger place in Madison. Even McDonald's. read more

The food was amazing!! The burger was moist and full of flavor. The fries were hot and delicious. It is pretty cheap for the area and amazing food. Well done MOOYAH read more

As a new restaurant on State St that has a fun Wisconsin theme, I was excited to try out MOOYAH. I ordered the traditional MOOYAH burger on a white bun with American Cheese along with sweet potato fries on the side. This is a very basic route, as the menu permits a great deal of customization from lettuce wraps to turkey burgers-- though it comes at a slightly higher price depending on the number and type of additions. The set up is very similar to Five Guys, just with more options. In terms of the actual burger, I was extremely underwhelmed at MOOYAH. The meat was pressed so thin that I didn't really feel like I was biting into a juicy burger. It was over-seasoned beyond reason-- very salty. When licking my lips, I felt as if the grease that would spill over to the meeting of my lips was drying out my tongue. I wasn't left completely full after eating the burger. The sweet potato fries were pretty yummy-- very crisp and thinly cut. Almost had the quality of frites, which I did not mind. The "one serving" option of fries that I paid $2.99 for gives you plenty in terms of quantity; it covered nearly half of my metal tray. Luckily that was there to fill me up to make up for the burger that failed to do so. The service was great, overall. The staff announce your name and deliver your food over to you, and even take your tray away if they see it in passing. Great customer service and friendly attitude by the staff. The reason why I am giving MOOYAH 2 stars is highly influenced by their burger, which is their main item on the menu. It is overpriced for the product. I spent a total of about $10 for fries and a sup-par burger. I would go to Five Guys over MOOYAH any day. read more

Excellent customer service! Thought we ordered a double burger, but the receipt didn't reflect this. The man helping us made a whole new burger for us! read more
