I came into NFA Burger on a slow Tuesday afternoon. The staff were extremely polite, attentive and helpful. The young men came back numerous times to check to make sure everything in my end was good. I got the double with all the sauce on the side and tots. Absolutely delicious! Overall, I love the fast causal vibe & the delicious burgers. Definitely coming back when I'm in the area. Bonus points: they had the World Cup playing! read more

I really hate leaving bad reviews, especially because this was my first time here and I was excited to try it. Overall, it was a good experience, but about 4 hours after eating here I got severe food poisoning. I've never experienced this after eating at a burger restaurant before so I wanted to share my experience so the restaurant is aware. read more

Parking at Avalon can be a nightmare, so be prepared and bring a little patience. The restaurant is located in front of the ice skating rink and soccer viewing area. Inside, there are plenty of TVs, a full bar, and ample seating. The atmosphere is very casual--you simply walk up to the counter, order your burger, and request any condiments you'd like. The staff was friendly, and I noticed employees constantly cleaning. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, the restaurant still felt humid, dingy, and not particularly clean. There was also a steady stream of people coming in and out to use the restroom, making it feel more like a public restroom than one reserved for customers. When our food arrived, I was disappointed. The burgers were much smaller than I expected, and the basic toppings weren't included. I later realized that you have to request the condiments you want when ordering. They also forgot to give me a drink cup, so I had to wait at the bar for the bartender to hand me one. The highlight of the meal was definitely the tater tots--they were crispy and delicious. Unfortunately, the overall experience didn't meet my expectations, and I don't plan on returning. read more

Coming thru Atlanta and was bummed that the Dunwoody location was already closed but then I discovered there is a second location in Avalon that is open later!! I ordered the Billy's classic and LYNDA'S-way loaded fries with a lemon drop cocktail. Loved the smashed burger but wasn't a huge fan of the loaded fries. I should have ordered the sauce on the side because it made them a little too sweet. The lemon drop was heavy on the vodka but light on sugar... I think they actually forgot the simple syrup so it was quite sour! (but I'd much rather them skimp on sugar than vodka!) Overall a fantastic stop!! read more

NFA Burger - Avalon - Billy's classic (double burger) - Burgers Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

This was actually a great burger. A friend shared the history of how they got started in a gas station and then food truck and wow . Tried this spot last month, I am a very picky burger eater and typically eat them at home or steakhouses. I will say this was a tasty, flavorful burger not too thick , I chose the single patty. No thank you to fries and tots fried in fat. The line was steady , staff friendly , and great location overlooking the green at the Avalon. Plenty inside seating and inexpensive. read more

Good burger joint located in the Avalon district. Burgers are small so doing double or triple is in order. They are delicious. Hot dogs are good too. Service is fair and staff is genuinely nice. I wish they had better selection of drinks such as beer as it would make it truly five star establishment... read more

NFA burger lives up to the hype and I understand why it has won best burger in Georgia in the past. There really isn't much more I can say as they keep the focus on the burgers. The service was fast and there was a lot of seating with TVs all around on the walls. We both got the classic double burger and it's a really delicious burger that I would recommend to everyone! read more

First time at NFA burger and i really enjoyed it! The inside is designed like a sports bar, so its a cool casual place to stop by if you're walking around the Avalon.

Great place for a quick bite! read more

NFA Burger - Avalon - hamburger and tater tots - Burgers Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

I had previously visited the Dunwoody location but this was my first time at the relatively new location at the Avalon. First of all, it's great that they have a dining area in comparison to the picnic tables at the original location. It's also amazing that they have so many big screen TVs. I visited on a Sunday and they had almost all of the NFL football games on the TVs in the dining area. The burgers are really good. I ordered the single based upon my appetite, but apparently the most common is the double or the Billy's classic. The burger was juicy and very flavorful. I also ordered a tots which come crispy with a side of sassy sauce. The overall service is good. The order taker who greets you is relatively friendly, but the people behind the bar and the ones who bring your food continue to check on you and ask how you liked your meal. I had a pretty good experience and I would definitely consider returning and recommending the restaurant to others. Cheers read more

The service was great. It was quick and convenient with a nice clean atmosphere. Food, not so great. For a hot dog for my nephew and a smash burger for me. Not seasoned well and not very good. I heard great reviews about this place and its original spot in a gas station. Not good in my opinion. It was just OK. read more

I've been driving my electric car to their infamous gas station spot in Dunwoody for the last couple of years. I concur with all the hamburger lists that this smash burger is second to none. My amazing son came to visit me from Massachusetts and requested his obligatory NFA burger as expected. I have been wanting to try their new sit down concept since it opened so I invited my best friend Matt to join us for his first NFA experience. I live downtown so to go OTP for a burger, it better be award winning. NFA Alpharetta didn't disappoint my friends. In fact, I'll be making this (even longer) drive in my Tesla instead of the Chevron location because not only do they have EV chargers but the sit down service was off the chain! read more

Loved the fries, the service was friendly, and we didn't have to wait in line. Wish they had fountain soda instead of a can. As for the burger? Just way too salty. Cheers! RS read more

NFA Burger - Avalon - Burgers Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

The owner of the store was on the radio yesterday (92.9) telling how he had won 1st prize at the Burger Mania competition in Miami. I had to be in the area this morning, so wanted to give it a try. The young lady taking the orders knew nothing about the win. As usual, parking at Avalon is a pita ( not the bread). I ordered the "Billy Special" double with no cheese and a side of fries. $14.25. Self-serve water to drink. I prefer thicker burgers less well-done, but the bun and sauce are tasty. Fries were under-cooked and not crisp. So a decent lunch but nothing really special. read more

The burgers are quite tasty. The tater tots and fries are also good (large portions that can be shared). The meals are a little pricey (but then again so are many drive thru restaurants these days). The seating is fairly comfortable and the large screen TVs are great. I counter 4 very large ones and 6 large ones). read more

NFA Burger - Avalon - Double burger with fries and tater tots - Burgers Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Another social media hyped place I have been wanting to try, NFA Burger in shee shee Avalon was pretty good as far as burgers and hot dogs go. That's what I tried! This place is moderately priced and moderately hostile towards ketchup which cracks me up. The burgers were your basic smash burgers, simply dressed and well seasoned. A good burger should stand on its own hence the hostility towards ketchup. I get that. That hot dogs though! The one I got was the Southsider which was a Polish sausage simply dressed with mustard and raw onion. This dog had a kick to it which I loved!! The tots were tots and nothing special. I got the Sassy sauce which the greeter/ cashier couldn't describe very well. I'm guessing it was mayonnaise and ketchup and some spices. We really didn't get great service until we sat down and got our drinks. We weren't warmly greeted when we placed our order. I also wasn't sure how to get a refill on my soda. I guess I could have asked but it wasn't very clear and I didn't know who could have made that happen. My wife asked for just water and you had to get that yourself at the bar. (Weird) The place looked pretty clean, modern but retro and it had a full bar. I saw that the people who delivered the food were fast and efficient. Will I crave this place? Probably not. It was kind of an odd experience service wise. I just wasn't too sure how their type of service worked. The food was good though for burgers and hotdogs. I will give them a thumbs up for their Giving Kitchen support. Love that! read more

This is my first time at this location. My previous experience was the one in Dunwoody at the gas station. Food - I ordered the double patty NFA Burger, the quality here is just as good as the original location, it has a crispy exterior for the smashburger, as well as the quality taste in the meat. The burger is 5/5. Also ordered the tater tots, it has a great perfect exterior crunch, but felt a little bit dry and over fried. 4/5 Service - 3/5 - I think that this place needs some reevaluation. The line very is long especially when you are waiting on a Saturday at peak lunch time in Avalon. The issue is that there is one line and that there is one register to take orders. That's not okay when you're waiting 30 minutes in line. Another issue is the the water, just as reviews have said in the past, they tell you that the waiter will bring out water for you but they don't and you have to ask them when they bring out your food. Next, the water cup is so small that after you finish your serving, you have to either ask the waiter to refill your water cup or go up to the bartender to refill it. If you're making it self-serve, you should have a water station to fill up your own cup. Otherwise have a larger portion size for the cups so that customers don't have to keep on refilling their cup. The food is great and I'll come back for it. But the logistics aspect needs some work. read more

So excited to see NFA opening up in a new location - this one will be right on the green next to the gelato shop, just as we were asking for more casual, easy food to be at the Avalon! Went on a Friday night with a concert on the green so the place was packed, took about 30-40 minutes to order but the staff were doing a great job controlling the line and making sure the kitchen wouldn't get overwhelmed. Food would come out pretty fast after ordering. Burgers were great if mine was a little on the done side but would definitely go back. Tots (and fries) are fried in beef tallow which gives it a bit of a deeper and different flavour than you'd probably be used to. Grilled cheese was fine, nothing special, but definitely hits the spot when we were looking for one. Prices are extremely good, $7-8 for a double burger, $5 for sides, beers are also $4-5 and seemed like everyone had a beer out on the green from here. Place has a good amount of tables inside, a bar top, and lots of TVs for a very casual feel. Maybe would have been more appealing to sit in on not as busy of a day. Recommended and glad we have it here now read more

Second time at the location and had a good experience. Ordering was easy and quick to receive. Only thing I didn't like was they put the bacon on the bottoms bun and it constantly went everywhere. I assume I never had that problem is bc it's typically on top and adheres to the cheese. Nevertheless, the tots were good and everything was hot and correct. read more

Ed have been to the original NFA Burger in Dunwoody and decided to give their new restaurant in the Avalon a try. Parking is either valet or metered parking on the street throughput Avalon. We parked and walked a block to Billy's new location. It was midway between lunch and dinner hour so there were none of the long lines to order that I had read about from other Yelpers. We placed our order and were given a number for our table. Our order was delivered quickly and all the burgers and fries/tots were piping hot and freshly prepared to order. My better half ordered a double burger and added chopped onions (a 75 cent up charge). I ordered an off menu item, a patty melt, that I have previously ordered at the original location. My patty melt was essentially a double patty with grilled onions and cheese on Texas toast. It was delicious and very filling. My better half ordered the tots which are served with Sassy Sauce on the side. NFA tots are the best and are cooked in Beef Tallow. The fries are sprinkled with a healthy dose of Sassy Seasoning (similar to season salt but spicier). Their fries are cooked in Beef Tallow and served with a side of Sassy Sauce. This new location looks like a Sports Bar inside with rows of Big Screen TVs across one wall and above the bar. They have 4-top tables and high top tables in the bar area. All the wait staff are dressed casually to align with the Sports Bar concept. All things Considered, I can certainly see why this restaurant gets long lines to order during peak hours at the Avalon. This location is an hour plus drive from our home so I will wait for the planned other NGA locations to open but the Avalon location is Great for those living in the surrounding areas. Give them a try soon! read more

The food was amazing and the service was great. I a (stupid) customer only had cash when the transactions are card only, so when I went to meet up with my friends at the restaurant I went to just hangout with eating until I got home, but the manager, completely unprompted, paid for my meal, saying that she didn't want anyone to go hungry. Would most definitely go again when I get the chance! read more

Very attentive service! The burgers were very good. Only thing I didn't care for was I ordered it with bacon, and it came to me with bacon bits? Thought that was odd. May have been noted on the menu but didn't see it. read more

I was hesitant to come here because I'd heard the lore! I had heard that the line was long and never moved and it is a challenge to get the toppings you want on your burger. But one day I was walking by and there was no line! So I decided today was the day to give it a shot - and I'm glad I did! The burger was phenomenal!! Probably my new favorite burger in Alpharetta. It is true that they are sort of weird about toppings (no lettuce, no tomato, they won't put ketchup on the burger, only American cheese...) BUT just order it as it comes and trust. It is SO GOOD. Now the fries and tots? Trash. So dry. Threw them away after a taste test. But I'm still giving this place 5 stars because the burgers are just that great. 1-star tots and fries but 5-star burgers!! Go get one! You will love it. read more

Overall I give this a 5/5! So to remove some concerns from the beginning...yes, this is at and inside a gas station! Did I have concerns at first as well... yes! BUT did those concerns disappear after I pulled up, after I ordered my food, and after I absolutely devoured and digested that smash burger (my first smash burger )? 100% YES. I made sure to do my research: YouTube, TikTok, Google reviews... you name it! So when we arrived, it was literally in a gas station... and there was a line out the door! That alone told me something was up. My wife and I ordered the Double The Classics (Two 2.75 oz patties, Mt. Olive pickles, American cheese, French's mustard, Sassy Sauce on a Martin's Potato Roll) and the Sassy fries (thin crinkle cut fries deep fried in beef tallow with a dusting of Sassy seasoning and served with Sassy Sauce on the side). Let me just say this is easily one of the best spots! The Dunwoody location is a MUST visit. No seats inside, but there are some picnic tables out back or you can take it home... trust me, it's worth it either way. Trust me on this...burgers at a gas station like this?! GOLDEN. And there is another location at the Avalon !! read more

I think this is a great little burger joint. The burgers here were fantastic. The potato bun is a really nice touch The chocolate milkshake isn't as chocolately as I would prefer it. It's very vanilla with a slight hint of chocolate. It's crazy how long the line is but I know why! It's very casual here. Staff was great and service was pretty fast. read more

NFA Burger at Avalon absolutely never misses! I got The Classic with tots and a side of their signature Sassy Sauce, and it was everything I hoped for and more. The Classic is a smash burger done to absolute perfection--thin, crispy edges with a juicy center, topped with melted cheese, mustard, and pickles. It's simple but beautiful, and every bite hits just right. The tots were hot and crispy, and dipping them in the Sassy Sauce took them to another level. The quality, flavor, and consistency keep me coming back. If you're looking for an unforgettable burger experience, this is it. read more

NFA Burger - Avalon - The Classic with Sassy Tots. - Burgers Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Came here for lunch on a weekday. The setup is a bit awkward. You walk in and the hostess podium is actually also where you order your food, take a number, and then get seated. I don't know if I missed the menus further back than the actual stand, but it was annoying having to decide what I'm getting with someone staring at me, and a line forming behind me. I got a standard burger and tots. The tots were perfectly crispy. The burger didn't seem special on first bite, but the deliciousness of a simple burger and how it all melted in my mouth was perfect, and I get why this place is so popular. The second I finished my burger, someone came asking if I was done. That was super annoying bc I had most of my tots still. After the third time being asked if I'm done, I gave up and left. There were empty tables so I'm not sure why they were insistent that I leave quickly. It was quite a turnoff actually. If I go back, it'll probably be for takeout. read more

Tried this burger place after all the hype on social media, this particular burger joint was started in a gas station and have opened their 1st location on Avalon.

NFA is considered by many to be Atlanta's best burger. Does NFA live up to the hype? Partially. Their smash burger delivers good flavor and juiciness, without dazzling. Their fries and tots hold their own but are not memorable. In terms of condiments, I really enjoyed their so-called "sassy sauce." One pet-peeve: if you want water, additional condiments, or napkins, you must flag the wait staff. I'm partial to the DIY approach that most burger joints employ; I'd rather just help myself to condiments, water, and napkins. We literally had to ask for extra fry sauce four different times. Final verdict: NFA offers good burgers. Perhaps verging on very good... I'd say 3.5 stars, so I'll round it up to 4 stars. But they are not the best the city has to offer. Chains such as BurgerFi and Shake Shack are superior, especially BurgerFi. read more

I ordered a triple burger with turkey chili and grilled onions for which I paid extra. Burger was way too well done. They do not ask you how you want your burger prepared. Virtually no chili, onions or cheese on the burger. I asked a employee for more and he brought out extra chili and onions in very tiny cups. Ridiculous! The only item I enjoyed was the frozen wine. read more

I guess it's a slightly different kind of burger. Maybe a bit too much like meatloaf slow cooked in a crockpot, for me? But, not bad by any means.

I've been wanting to try NFA burger since I kept hearing so many people rave about the original location in Dunwoody so I am beyond happy there's a location in Alpharetta now. I went opening weekend and the interior has a good amount of seating, and an expansive bar space. There is also limited outdoor seating. Both my husband and I got the classic burger as is and shared between fries and tots. The employee at the ordering stand was really nice and kept the long line moving efficiently. I also caught bits of other customer interactions with other staff and whom I believe was the manager/owner - everyone was so so sooo nice. The food came quickly after ordering. I enjoyed how the burger was cooked and seasoned but personally, I wish there were more veggies or an option to add lettuce and tomato to it. The mustard and pickles gave a good tartness to the overall burger. The size of the burger and quality is very reasonable given the price point. The fries and tots were both crispy and hot. We both preferred the fries slightly more because of the amount of seasoning on them. I would happily return here again to try other menu items. read more
