    I've been bummed ever since Punch Burger disappeared from Downtown. But I'm glad to say the waffle fries live on at The Burger Joint. Definitely stop in here if you're on the mood for a good burger and amazing fries. Staff were super friendly and the whole place was clean and nice. The food couldn't be beat!

    Small place located near the Walmart at 56th & Emerson/Fall Creek on the near NE side. Plenty of parking. Very cute interior, maybe 2 doz tables and also a bar area. My coworker and I went around 11:45 on a weekday, so right before any lunch rush. There was one person in the bar area but we were the only others at that time. I did notice theyr wer doing some take out, too. Not having been there before, we asked our waitress what her favorite was and she said "it's all good" -- which is a "correct" response for staff, but really, we were interested in what she would personally recommend. So that didn't help us narrow down anything. The menu has salads, sliders, apps, more ... but being "The Burger Joint" we decided we should try burgers. I had the Hawaiian burger with regular fries, and my friend had the regular burger but wrapped in lettuce (she has to be gluten free) and the sweet potato fries. The burgers were good, nothing great but nothing bad. The sweet potato fries were kind of thin and not too flavorful. The star of the meal were my fries-- nice thicker cut and served very hot. (IF they did their sweet potato fries like that, they would be amazing!) Over the time of our being there, a couple other tables did get filled, but nothing too crazy. The one thing that mgmnt should be aware of is, where our table was, it was definitely competing sounds with very loud music in the kitchen versus the dining room music. Made it hard to talk, and that was without many other people in there! And honestly, our service was ... off. I like to give grace and you never know what is going on with someone. We were not diffcult customers, really easy orders and trying to be friendly, just not getting any of those vibes in return. Given the number of different restaurants we can try, it puts this on the "probably not again" list. One good thing was the burgers were $11 , so that was reasonable for the amount of food. #ReviewsByRL

    This new restaurant is located in an up in coming strip mall. They have decent sized private lot that it shares with the other businesses in the strip mall. They offer dine-in and take out. I liked the restaurants hip and trendy vibe. The staff there was friendly, welcoming and helpful. They have a decent sized dining area with tables, chairs and high-tops. There is also a bar with seating. The bar is not a full service bar. They only serve beer. There is a seated waiting area up front, with padded benches. Additionally, there was music playing throughout the restaurant. I was solo, so, I just sat at the bar. As for the menu, they serve salads, chicken sandwiches, sandwiches, and of course, exotic signature burgers. They also have some savory flavored lemonades. I got the mango lemonade and it was very delicious. Just keep in mind that you have to pay for refills though. I ordered the Choriburger, which came with fries. It took about 12 minutes for me to get my food and it was hot and fresh. At first glance, I was like, "where's the beef", but it was very filling and, in the end, I could not eat all of it. It was very flavorful and tasty. A very unique burger that I have never had before. I highly recommend it. I also highly recommend checking this joint out as well. They have some delicious food, first class service and amazing atmosphere. You will definitely not be disappointed.

    If you've ever been to Indy's Burger Joint on Indy's southside, then you already have a good idea of what to expect from their recently opened sister restaurant The Burger Joint right at Emerson and Fall Creek Parkway in a strip center that houses Subway, ATI Physical Therapy, and La Cantina Mexican Restaurant. This spot is a little iffy already having housed two restaurants that didn't make it - Great American Pizza Company and Streeet Eatz. This is a super busy corner for restaurants with Lincoln Square, Peace of Mind Pub & Eatery, Hardee's, Taco Bell, and Burger King all joining the aforementioned right at this corner along with a couple primarily takeout joints - Golden Chef and Garrett's BBQ. The Burger Joint only opened soft this week. The word's not out yet. I'll openly admit that my 5-star rating is generous. I mean, hey, it's really just a burger joint. However, the atmosphere is welcoming and the service is super friendly. I'd probably call this a 4-star, however, in the spirit of supporting the new kid on the block I'm going with a 5-star based on quality food, fair prices, a good atmosphere, and friendly service. If you've been to the southside spot, then you already know this is a place that is casual but serious about burgers. The southside location reminds me of a Waffle House, but the food is quite a bit better. The southside location is definitely more run down and, well, dirtier. I would call it a relatively clean dive. This building really isn't that old. This spot is definitely not run down, though it's nothing fancy. There's accessible parking easily available and appropriate curb cuts. As you enter, there's a little bar area in the middle (If I understood right they'll have beer soon and hope to expand. I don't believe they have any alcohol right now and I don't see any on the menu) with a row of tables on both sides. The front window also has some high-top tables. There are booths and traditional tables and lots of spaces for a wheelchair user. The hostess, only in her second day, clearly understood accessibility and she and one of the servers moved a chair. The menu emphasizes burgers, of course, though there are other sandwich options, appetizers, salads, and hand crafted milkshakes. They do have iced tea and they serve Pepsi products. I ordered an "Original Burger" - essentially your basic burger. It says plain, though mine did come with lettuce, tomato, and pickles. The fries are very nicely seasoned. The serving size was decent, though not outstanding. I did get my always desired refill. My bill came in at under $15 without a tip. I think that's pretty good for a dine-in experience. These days, it's pretty easy to spend $10 or more at a fast food joint. For an extra $5, I got a better atmosphere, better food, and service. As Yelp Elite Jemmie likes to point out, Indy is heavy with burgers and this area definitely is heavy with burgers. Heck, it's not too far away to get to Culver's. However, I could easily see this place becoming a neighborhood favorite like Lincoln Square. While a couple restaurants haven't made it in this area, most of the restaurants on this corner are doing just fine. While it's arguable that we sure didn't need another burger joint, this neighborhood definitely needed another quality place to have a dine-in meal with good food and service. I look forward to returning. Welcome to the neighborhood, The Burger Joint!

    Choriburger aka blob

    Service was good, if that. The food? Hell nah, i ordered 2 burger bro. Got two plates of mush. The sides. They needed sum salt (I got fries). The shake? Watered down. But I guess it's good for the price. ($5). I also ordered some chicken nachos. I said no jalepenos, and they made sure it came with it. Ambiance is cool. Keeps you hopeful for what's coming. I'm sorry, but I never experienced such disappointment before. This my first yelp review. That itself says a lot. If you looking for the best burgers here, they only have nachos.

    BBQ Burger with Garlic Parmesan French Fries
    Kellye H.

    My husband and I wanted to try something different for delivery and decided on The Burger Joint. We both ordered the BBQ Burger which arrived without bbq sauce or fried onions. There was also about a cup and a half of shredded lettuce on the burger. The garlic parm fries were okay, but I would not order them again. The burger was decent. It was cooked well, but had no seasoning.

    Chicken Nachos
    Patricia R.

    Doesn't look like much when you wall by. But I was hungry and popped in. The ambiance was very friendly. The service was fast and very welcoming. CHICKEN NACHOS: 10/10 SANTA FE BURGER: 8/10 CHORIBURGER: 10/10 Fries: 8/10 they are greasy but very yummy!

    Receipt

    I called in to place my order. I went in to pay and was greeted after she finished taking another to go order. While on the phone, she said I can add anything on my veggie burger. I added fried jalapeños and didn't know it was up upcharge until I got my receipt. They offered a black bean burger vs an impossible burger which was a plus. It looked somewhat like a mondo burger from Good Burger. But when I took the first bite, the whole thing crumbled. It wasn't well seasoned. They offer waffle fries, seasoned fries, tater tot, salad, or fruit for the sides which is a plus.

I came right around lunchtime and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't busy at all. I love having no line, quick service, and I was helped immediately. The worker was friendly and walked me through a couple options, like choosing the dressing amount and whether I wanted the bowl tossed. Nice little touch of customization. I also noticed they were offering $5 off if you join their rewards program, so of course I signed up real quick at checkout, I love a good deal! The caramelized garlic steak bowl was a hit. It was a generous portion, fresh, and flavorful. I ended up sharing it with my husband when I dropped it off at his job, and it honestly filled us both up. Inside, the vibe is very chill and clean, perfect for a quick bite. They also have outdoor seating if you want to enjoy your meal outside, but this time we went with takeout. I love that they have fresh ingredients, good portion sizes, and quick, easy service. It's definitely a go-to when you want something healthier but still satisfying.

However the last three visits I have had three different dishes (including ones I had order previously) and all three have tasted like cooking oil. Today I had the caprese toast. I decided to add salmon for added protein. Ya'll, when you see the word 'caprese', you think fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil, right? Not cooked, right? Well every item except some mint was cooked. Mushy apples, mushy tomatoes.... coated in a fowl smelling oil. The mushy-ness of it all got to the bread underneath. Then the salmon on top.... it was salmon but it was very, very smoky and it was shredded to appear like.... hate to say it.... cat food. Cat food instantly popped in my mind when I saw my plate. The item I used to love the sweet potato hash but it now has the same problem as the caprese toast. No flavor except that of cooking oil. I also ordered a kids plate with scrambled eggs. Eggs arrived with obvious signs of being over cooked with brown burn marks. Fine for a fried rice at a Chinese restaurant, maybe. But really? This is a brunch place that is supposedly 'health minded'. Eggs shouldn't be dry. I'm sure they also tasted like cooking oil but I didn't try them. I agree with another reviewer that the descriptions of dishes could be better. A cooked caprese??? I wouldn't have ordered it. Two stars are only beause the service here is decent.
