While driving through the area I stopped in here for lunch. I came here after reading many…read morepositive reviews and then checking out their menu and I knew they were a fun and interesting place for lunch. I chose the Becca Burger, without mushrooms and their Steak Diablo Fries. They make everything fresh, to order with fresh ingredients. The burger was clearly freshly hand-packed, the jalapeños were freshly sliced, not pickled. Since they make it all fresh, you might wait a few minutes longer than the typical burger joint, but that's fine considering the amazing eats you're about to enjoy. My burger came out looking beautiful and it was definitely sitting tall! The flavor was excellent! Meat was great too!! I definitely liked having their chipotle mayo on it!! Those steak Diablo fries were incredibly tasty, with a nice kick, but sooo much more flavor than heat! The fries themselves were great, perfectly crispy and tasty, but adding all those toppings truly made it special! Service was nice... I had a few questions and she was helpful with the answers. Lastly, they have birch beer here, which I loved! Highly recommend stopping in for a great burger and fries experience!!

I was in Norfolk recently and it was lunchtime, so I decided to go to Manny's Burger, located on…read moreLafayette Boulevard in the heart of Norfolk. This place is a Norfolk institution, or at least it should be considered one because it has stood the test of time. They have stayed in business for so long because they are doing something right. Let's get into it... Manny's Burger is a little hole in the wall takeout burger joint. There are no frills here. If you're lucky you can score a seat at the one picnic table outside. You place your order through a window and when it's ready they yell out your name. It's very nostalgic and perhaps that's one of the reasons why they have been around for so long. It's a reminder of a time when life was much simpler and far less stressful and complicated. They have many items on their menu but my favorite is the Manny Burger. It's a beef patty served with lettuce, tomato and pickle with boiled ham on top. I know what you're thinking, boiled ham??? Don't knock it until you've tried it. For reasons that I still don't understand, it all just works together so wonderfully well that I wouldn't dream of changing anything. Check out Manny's Burger on Lafayette Boulevard, you'll be glad you did and you can rest assured that you are supporting our local restaurant community.

The customer service was so bad , I tried to place my order and was told they went to lunch at 3:45 on Friday I thought she was playing then she said "I told y'all we at lunch " with the nastiest attitude I don't know who the lady was but she only had four teeth in her mouth and her attitude was nasty.

So I dragged one of my children to go and eat a burger. It's nothing fancy inside, only a bit of nostalgia from the old BK layout. We got there right at opening so no crowd. The food was fresh and the fries were hot. Pretty much that's all I need in a burger meal. I upgrade one of my drinks to a milkshake and again you can't go wrong with that either. While I really did enjoy my meal here it is still a bit out of my way to really say it is worth making the trek for their . If I am in the area and craving a solid classic I will definitely drop by again.

Great gourmet burger options! I had the French Dip, which was divine!…read more Fries are crispy and fantastic. Everyone was vey happy, especially those in the party who ordered the spiciest burger on the menu. (MAYBE it had Reaper or Ghost, but I don't recall. ) Definitely a pub feel, but not obnoxious and still great for non-drinkers like me. Excellent option for non-chain burgers. Ours was a business trip group of 10, and it was a great venue for casually meeting co-workers, many of whom had never met.

Everyone plays on their phones through a QR code, so the room stays pretty calm. No shouting answers or chaos, just a lot of people quietly locked into trivia. I was seated immediately and ordered The Big Cheese burger. At first glance, it looked promising. The beef seemed like quality meat and not a frozen hockey puck. The vegetables were also very fresh. No sad, limp lettuce or those weird mushy tomato slices some places try to pass off as fresh. But here's where things went sideways: the patty had almost no flavor. I'm honestly not convinced it met salt at any point during its journey to the plate. It wasn't bad, just noticeably under-seasoned. For a place that positions itself as a serious burger spot, seasoning the meat feels like Burger 101. The fries were good. They offer different seasoning options, but I kept it simple with salt and pepper. I also ordered the Cheerwine sangria, which sounded like it would be something special. In reality, it mostly tasted like regular sangria that someone carbonated. Not bad, just not particularly interesting. Service was friendly and quick, which I appreciated. Overall, the meal was fine. But when your whole mission is basically "we're the burger experts," it's a little surprising when the burger tastes like the seasoning got left in the kitchen.

The restaurant has a modern, industrial style: concrete floors and benches along the walls. The restaurant was fairly busy when we there with only one server working.

We were extremely pleased with her friendly, efficient, and smooth service.

At the entrance…read morethey had barrels that also doubled as ash treys and on the were placed all over the restaurant and even used to as light fixtures from the ceiling. The waitress and bar tender were super nice and helpful with menu recommendations. I order their fried shrimp appetizer which came with 8 large shrimp and a side of tater tots. It was tasty but lacked seasoning. When I sat down, I noticed a lot of salt on the table....i understood why haha as I found myself sprinkling salt throughout out. They were crunchy and tender on the inside. Getting to this location was super easy and they own their own parking lot which is free for patrons. If you're not able to find parking, they have plenty of paid street parking. I also want to add that they do offer discounts but to service members who are in uniform. Service members rarely ever wear their uniforms just to dine out unless they are on official orders or are working full time. I find that a bit unfortunate because the value veterans and military service members bring should be honored while they are and are not in uniform so I hope that the management changes that policy someday. They offer no other forms of discounts as I asked about teachers and emergency personnel too just to give people something additional when seeking this place out. It's still a good lunch spot tho.

Do you like fries that are limp and doused in salt, or a wait staff that doesn't care. Then McDonald's is the place for you! But if you want a burger that tastes great, fresh fries full of flavor, and staff that clearly love their job, then go to Smashers! Easily the best burger in the 757 (no offense to Frank & Patty's or Jack Brown's - you're good, but this is just better). Prices are reasonable, even if you're ordering from their food truck going around the area. And the burgers themselves are amazing - wonderfully smashed, perfect balance of meat flavor and seasoning, cooked to perfection. The burgers themselves are always juicy, but not overly so - a problem I've always had with places like Shake Shack. I love the owner's story and will always support this small business. Keep up the great work!

It was something we fussed at her about lol so my son and I decided to have cheeseburgers in her honor. Craft Bar was recommended when I searched best burger on Yelp, so we gave it a try. We were able to be seated pretty immediately and our serve came to wait on us quickly! I ordered the Black and Blue burger with sweet potatoes waffle fried, and my son ordered a bacon cheeseburger with regular fries. I got my burger with a little pink, and it was cooked to perfection! Sometimes I am hesitant to get pink because it's been to raw. The burger was not only cooked to perfection, I really loved the bleu cheese sauce and grilled onions. The waffle fries with the cinnamon/brown sugar sauce were great as well. My son also really enjoyed his burger, but he did say his fries tasted like shrimp. I tasted them, and they didn't taste like shrimp but they did have a distinct taste. I can't really describe it, but I didn't like it. Otherwise we had a great visit, one of the best burgers I've had, and really good, quick service! I am sure we were in and out in under an hour with everything still being super fresh!
