Double with Tots
James B.

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!

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...

LOL!

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!

My pride and joy!

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!

hamburger and tater tots

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. The smashburger was great and the tots along with the side sassy sauce were perfection! The staff was also very friendly and helpful, they constantly checked on us. Great place for a quick bite!

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

Double burger with fries and tater tots
Dave B.

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).

Double Patty NFA Burger
Brian X.

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.

Burgers, tots, grilled cheese. Heck yeah
Daniel H.

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

Only tried the shakes from the walk up ordering but super great, fast service and my girls loved the peach milkshakes. Thank you and can't wait to come back and try the burgers! Love that they have a location at Avalon now.

Ashley M.

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.

Andrea T.

Great Burger! Great Location! Right in the middle of everything at the Avalon. Fast service! Cute inside & has outside high tops available as well! Will def be back!

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!

This is just a small place in a strip mall that I found by searching Yelp…read more It is only 15 mins away from Alpharetta and is more than worth the drive. The location was clean, there are only a few tables and bar seats, (no alcohal) there are several TVs playing different things (the guy at the counter turned on the Minecraft movie for my son while we ate!! Super nice. My oldest and I order the Gouda burger... and my youngest ordered the hot dog. All with fries. (Prices seemed a bit high but honestly it was more than worth it!) The food came out pretty fast... and it looked awesome! (See pictures) the Gouda burger has lettuce, tomato, onion, Gouda, bacon, and shoe string potato chips on top of a good sized black angus patty. This was maybe the best burger I have had since I moved to GA! How are people not swarmed all over this establishment eating here! This was amazing! It was "ohhhhhh my Goddie to dam Hottie!!!" The burger was juicy and packed with amazing flavor! The addition of the shoe strings grave it a crunch that I just loved! I didn't even put catchup on it... I ate it as they brought it... nothing added nothing removed. It was phenominal! My son's hit dog was huge.. and loaded with condiments... onion, tomato's, relish on a monster dog. He couldn't finish it. The fries need to be cooked in hotter oil so that they get crispy.. some were kinda crisp some were not and salt the fries! The fries were ok... but the burger more than made up for it! I'm telling you this is burger heaven! If you're looking for the best burger around head on over to the Burger Factory... I know I'm going back to try a different offering soon!

There are several tables but it looked like they do a lot of takeout business. I like that there is a screen to order from or you can order at the counter. There seemed to be lots of parking too. The tater tots and mozzarella sticks were really good. Perfectly crispy! The mozzarella sticks didn't seem straight out of the freezer like at most places but the little cup of marinara was really cold. I ordered the salmon over brussels sprouts because I don't eat meat. (They do have a mushroom sandwich for vegetarians.) The salmon was perfectly cooked, and it also had tomatoes, nuts/seeds, and fried onions so the flavors and textures were great. It came with a sauce on the side that was yummy. The only annoying thing was that I got my food way after everyone else. Two friends got burgers, one got the spicy chicken sandwich, and one got the steak sandwich. All really enjoyed theirs but noted they are very messy to eat. One friend was annoyed that she didn't see salmon on the menu, but it is kind of hard to find! I only knew because I looked at the order screen and saw the salmon section. I think three of us had leftovers. Overall we enjoyed our meals and the prices weren't outrageous.

The driveway from Hwy 9 has a huge pot hole so be careful while pulling into the parking lot. Walking in, it's a nice big space with lots of Room. There are high chair areas and normal seat areas with lots of big screen TVs. I definitely would love to watch some NFL tv while eating lunch here. You seat yourself here and get your own drinks and condiments. Sorta reminded me of a smaller verison of the Magic Kingdom food court. I ordered the Green Mile burger which came with the following: Single Beef Patty Pepper Jack cheese "The Sauce" Green Chilies Mashed Avocado Baby Arugula I opted to get the sweet potato fries side which came with a drink. I will say this place is more on the pricey side but what isn't these days. You will be paying close to $18-$20 for a burger, fries, and a drink here. But then again 5 Guys and other fast food places will be in the $10-$18 range as well. I really enjoyed my burger as it was very tasty and flavorful. The portion is decent and on the medium size. Not small but not super big. I really enjoyed the sweet potato fries here. The sweet tea here was amazing and I really did enjoy it. All in all, I enjoyed eating here as you get up to get your own refills. I probably will come back and try a different burger next time I am in the area.

Visited Barleygarden 3 times now and I can conclude some pretty stark conclusions:…read more Beer is great! They have abuse and an awesome selection of beer. If this is all you will enjoy here - this is a 5-star establishment. Location in Avalon is another strong point of this establishment. Super convenient, although small. Food - is just not good. If you are drunk - then it is all right, otherwise it just doesn't cut it. I had hot dog - and I must say $1.50 Costco hot dog is way better. Wings - below average. Chicken tenders - the same. Fries are probably the best thing here. Service - just terrible. Outside of bartenders who are pretty happy and funny, the rest of service is hit or miss. First time I visited was awful. Second time around I had to walk up to server to place an order and ended up getting wrong beer multiple times on refills (how is getting the same refill a problem?). So 3-stars for this review is me being generous on account of great beer. I will however never order food here again.

There was live music outside and the patio areas were packed. Where we sat inside though had a few tables open and we were sat right away at 7pm on a Friday night. No complaints there. This is a great place for families and it's super loud inside and out so bring the kids and let them go nuts. I think the let down for me was the food. They are known for their burgers but for some reason I ordered the "Nashville Hot" chicken sandwich. I LOVE this sandwich and if I see it on the menu I tend to order it. I put the name in quotes because this was NOTHING like a Nashville Hot chicken sandwich. This was a fried chicken sandwich with a squeeze of hot sauce and honey. Absolutely horrible. The breading fell off immediately and it was just gross, greasy and slippery. No flavor, no heat. The second disappointment were the onion rings. Greasy, Soggy, mushy, and again, the breading immediately fell off. They were like eating fried spaghetti. The final letdown was the service. Our server was nice when she greeted us, but we saw her maybe once during our meal. Never filled our drinks and she checked on us once during our meal. The food took 45 minutes to come to our table. I am not sure if she was new. Tonight in general was just a bust. On the bright side, my wife said that her meal was good. Lesson learned. Stick to the burgers and fries.
