    Ring of Fire burger for $13.50 lol

    The price for just a burger is crazy to me like it's not a gourmet burger lol I can understand if it was but it's just a regular burger with onion rings and it's not even spicy like that so idk why it's even called ring of fire burger lol

    The food was just ok. I liked that the bun doesn't get soggy, but in every other aspect we all agreed 5guys is better. Where they might be a good place for you is if you are vegan or vegetarian. Service was ok we walked in and there was no line so we were helped quickly. I thought the chicken fingers were better than the burger. I was a little disappointed my burger did not come with all the condiments I asked for. We were all tired and wanted a quick bite so I didn't feel like going back to ask for the condiments I wanted. I was eating my burger and then noticed a worker in the kitchen with their fingers in their mouth like biting their nails or something and then just back to work. I was grossed out. Maybe they would wash their hands before preparing more I have no clue. The cook prepares burgers in an open kitchen. He seemed to be efficient and hard working. It's laid back with a few tables if you want to eat in store. Previously I saw a lot of people order take out. We probably won't be back but if you have family members with certain dietary needs this might be a good option for you.

    I love their build-a-burger concept-- you choose your bread, cheese, temperature, toppings, and burger size (4 or 7 oz). I had to get the lettuce wrap because I'm GONNA eat their delicious fries (and you gotta cut somewhere)! Their combo (burger, fries, and drink) isn't the cheapest, but this is the tastiest, juiciest burger I've had in Alexandria. One bite and the juice oozes out of the sandwich-- all over your fries. Messy and mouth-watering! Inside is brightly lit, clean, and has a TV (captions on that day). Cashier was efficient, got our orders right, and brought them to the table. I needed help getting my dad's walker to the car and 2 of the guys came to help us to the car and refused a tip (even though they do take tips for the food service). So nice. We left stuffed and satisfied. I'm sure I'll be coming back here again and again.

    Found this place by accident trying to go to another spot. The inside was pretty nice and clean. The food came out fairly quick considering the fact they make it on the spot. The burger itself was really juicy!! I loved how each bite was packed with juicy flavor. I also thought the size of the burger was great for the price! The fries were just okay, nothing special. Overall I would def come back for their amazing burgers if i'm nearby (:

    Best burger place I've been to. I've been coming here pretty often and they haven't missed once. Try this order: BYOB - Brioche bun + American cheese + mushrooms/pineapple/ketchup/mustard/onion/lettuce The meat is cooked fresh. The burger just tastes so fresh itself. Comes out burning hot after about 8minutes or so. Staff is typically friendly and willing to help and be patient. Place has plenty tables and chairs! Would definitely give this place a shot!!

    Pretty good burger place that rivals other burger joints in the area in terms of food quality. Came here on a Sunday and it was relatively empty. The service was quick and the place seemed clean overall. The burgers came hot and the fries were very tasty. Compared to other similar burger places, the prices are pretty good for what you get. Overall, stop by and try these burgers.

    Love finding new spots to eat at. I wanted a burger and the first place I had selected was not open. The Burger Shack came to the rescue! Located in a small shopping center, I was quite surprised. The burger shack has a little bit of everything burgers, fries, hot dogs, milk shakes and even vegetarian options. You can build your own burger or they even have several specialty burgers to choose from. I decided to go with the pineapple teriyaki specialty burger. The burger came with a pineapple slice, teriyaki sauce, bacon and cheese served on a brioche bun. They have 7 bun options to choose from! The specialty burgers come in the 7oz size while the make your own burgers come in a 4oz or a 7oz size. You can upgrade and make your burger a combo for 3.99 which includes fries and a drink. Now pack your patience. Each burger is made to order. There's no mass making of burgers around here. The burger came out fresh and juicy. I wish it had a smidge more of salt. The fries were crispy and the perfect amount of salt. I would definitely consider visiting Burger Shack again if I was craving a burger.

    If looking for a decent burger to quench a craving,this place will do it. Reasonable price and you can build your own or select from one of thier signature burgers. I rolled with a basic cheesebuger with some add-ons (extra onion, pickles). The veggies were super fresh & dressed up the burger. Mine was a little over-cooked which is why I held back a little on the Stars. My wife's burger was as she ordered it. She also loved the curly fries. Will definitely be back when the craving hits and give it another shot.

For the food: can't go wrong with the bacon & egg classic - the potatoes were tender with awesome flavor and the side of fruit was a nice touch. The cinnamon rolls - another classic came out hot & soft, the glaze seemed to have a hint of citrus maybe orange it wasn't overpowering but noticeable so worth mentioning. The chicken biscuit came with two pieces of chicken which is something to brace for - I suggest opting for one piece or ordering if you're really hungry. Not pictured, but the cheese grits were ordered too - they weren't awful, but also didn't add much to the spread.

And the shrimp had the perfect smoky flavor.I don't like spicy food, and this had some spice (think how your lips burn after eating) but it was still good. This restaurant comes across as a basic neighborhood spot but I think it has some yummy sounding items on the menu and I would definitely return.

Service could have been more responsive, but I think that's mostly because the servers are spread too thin. And it was never made clear if we paid our server or go to the cash register. When our server never came back after dropping off the check, we just went to the register. If service had indeed been more responsive, this would have been a four star review. As to the food, we started out with the chicken wings. They had a great texture and were topped with feta cheese and an oregano sauce. JP ordered the daily soup which was chicken lemon soup. Flavor-wise, it was good and very similar to avgolemono soup, but thinner. JP also ordered a burger. The meat and bun (not Brioche, yay!) were very good. Though, we would have preferred they use a lettuce other than iceberg. The fries had an unpleasant crispy salty exterior and were mediocre at best.
