    What A Burger is correct! Service is always friendly. The dining area is clean and simple. Today was a score because they were offering a few specialty items. One of which was the Carolina Slaw Burger. slaw, chili, onions and mustard. I added cheese. Many was it good! Also check out the Nacho Fries! They are always consistent. Check them out.

    The people here were really nice and the food was good. I hadn't had a fried beef bologna burger in a very long time. More than 10 years ago and this was delicious. My daughter had the burger and she was it was very good. The place was pretty empty... which was good for me... but I would go back.

    Very good flat top grill hamburgers (don't get the name confused)

    Fries are crispy on the outside and tender hot inside. Juicy hand formed burgers cooked and flipped on a flat iron grill. Thick diced onions you'll scoop up and eat when they fall on the wrapping paper. The name is suspect and the place isn't much to look at but it's clean and designed for the purpose - provide you a seat and table to enjoy your greasy spoon goodness. You'll have to spot it or know what your looking for based on the location and plain design of the building or else you pass right on by. It shares the space with some other light commercial businesses and is first on a side street off the main road. Not much else right around it so parking isn't a problem. Lunch is their main focus but they also have breakfast items on the menu.

    I have been coming to What-A-Burger since I was a child. Definitely nostalgic for me when I visit. The location moved sometime in recent years, but still serving yummy food, and the new place is more fancy! I can only speak for the cheeseburger and fries. Both are big quantities and delish. You can choose what you want on your burger, but the standard toppings are lettuce, tomato, chopped onions, and mustard - to me, that's the perfect combo! Unfortunately, I forgot to take picture of my food because I devoured it! Lol But will upload next time. I did get a couple pictures of inside the restaurant. Hope this place never closes!

    I got the bbq sandwich combo and it was delicious! The service was nice as well and I liked that they had bottled water because I don't drink soda.

    Great burgers and dogs at a reasonable cost. Employees seem happy to be there. Burgers remind me of Sonic (in a good way), but dogs were all on their own. Huge and grilled! Husband said chili was delicious. We will return!

    It's something about cooking on a flat top grill that just makes the burger.

As it happened, we got out for lunch a little early. Mentioned it to the group, and the next time I know the whole squad ended up at Sabera's! The cashier was a little taken back, we must have seemed like a uniformed invasion! She took it in stride, and worked through everyone's orders. Burgers, hot dogs, and sandwiches were available - no entrees although they do serve breakfast. Our instructor mentioned that the burgers were fresh made, so that settled it for me. Big burger (1/3 lb) with bacon, and fries. Everything is fresh made, so the orders took a while to be finished. This was as close to a home made burger you can get commercially, yum! Fries were thick, hot, and delicious too! There was about 16 seats in the indoor dining area, so we pretty much had it to ourselves. Sebera's is supposed to get crowded with government workers on their lunch from the Prince George courthouse and city hall across the street, so I'm glad we came early. My bill came out to about $7-8, not bad for the size of the meal and considering it is made to order. Sebera's is the kind of local hole in the wall that we Yelpers love to find! Definitely have to repeat before I finish the course and highly recommend!

It was our first time here and we were taking forever looking at the menu. The staff were very helpful and made great recommendations. Now, the food! It was pretty damn good. I'm a fat guy at heart and well, actually I'm just fat. The platter I ordered was so dope. The BBQ chicken sandwich wasn't big but it made for that with the flavor! It was crunchy and tasted awesome! Nice juicy white breast, it was ittie bittie, but I'm that committee. The fries were smacking and there was a lot. The chicken nuggets were fresh and crispy. The BBQ sauce and special sauce they gave me were freaking delicious. I poured some of it on my pillow because I knew I was going to dream about the food and chew on my pillow. My Coke float was perfect! It had the right mixture and the soft serve was on point. I gave this place 5 stars because you know what you're getting, it's open late as hell, and finally it's a great change of pace from the normal westernized fast food garbage that gave diabetes to the Middle East and Japan. If you're in Virginia give this joint a chance. I purchased food for the wife and pigs and it was $38 clams. Too dope

    SERIOUSLY LEGIT 'QUE HERE FOLKS! Wanted a little barbeque and collard greens. After a Yelp…read moresearch, Le'Poughs fit the bill. Like his namesake, Pepe Lepew, that tantalizing smell from the smokers hit me nearly a block down the street. From the little history on the menu, that was one of the reason's LePough started his barbeque stand when he was stationed at Fort Lee- there were a number of restaurants that called themselves barbeque but didn't have smokers working right outside. They either barbequed their items off location or didn't do "true barbeque". Very casual ramshackle joint, but it could easily fit large groups as I imagine them to have on the weekends. Knew I had to go to a graduation dinner, so I just ordered 3 bones of pork ribs and a container of collard greens. The ribs smelled so good I had to try one right away! Succulent, moist, and falling off the bone! Best ribs I've had in awhile! Total for my snack- $10, very reasonable. LePough's specializes in the Carolina mustard barbeque sauce, but I believe you can ask for a tomato-based one instead. You don't need much, the barbeque is pretty flavorful by itself. Can't wait to go back and try more of his offerings the next time I'm in the Fort Lee area. Definitely repeat and recommend!
