Worst burger ever. I cannot imagine why anybody is impressed by this place at all. The service is meh, the burger was mediocre at best. Fast food patty on a fat bun. A fat bun? Yes. The bun is soaked in butter and almost an inch of bread on either side of a mcdonalds thin patty. My burger was pink, is that even safe? There weren't that many people there yet they forgot my grilled onions. Normally I'd say something but it became obvious after two bites it would suck with or without onions, so whatever. The taste I see people raving about is steak salt. Fries are ok. Not sure why everyone says the tomato and lettuce are so super fresh, I mean it's not rubber but I wouldn't call it fresh either. If I come through Phoenix again I'll try something besides the Modern Burger, I think the only "modern" thing about it was trying to sell people a shitty product for more money. read more

For airport food this was not bad at all. I ordered the BLT with fries and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The BLT had a ton of bacon with shredded lettuce (which I like), fresh tomatoes and was served on this really good brioche bun. They do have breakfast burgers along with regular and unique burgers. I will visit again when connecting in Phoenix. read more

Quite a good burger. The beef patty, which was purported to be 1/4 lb, was not so substantial, but the entire ensemble was great. The tomato was thick and fresh and the bun ! The bun was very good. The fries were very good. Nicely seasoned an perfectly cooked. Service was a little on the slow side tho. read more

If you're @ sky harbor terminal 4, do yourself a favor and mosey on down to modern burger. Treat yourself to the B.L.T.-if you are in the mood for a good ol' swine sandwich! If not- get the breakfast sandwich with avocado! That sandwich right there- hits u in all the right places! The bun's super delish, the tomatoes are fresh, the lettuce is crisp. You will not. I repeat- You will NOT be disappointed. Many of flights were nearly missed due to my desire for that breakfast sandwich! Try it! Just don't miss your flight! read more

Took 15 minutes to get my order. Fries were soggy. Burger was not the one I ordered. Staff was rude. Will not go back again.

I was having a layover when I found this place. I haven't had lunch so I was hungry for something tasty! Typically I'm very picky on what I put in my mouth as I would rather starve than eating some really processed food. And here I am, ordering a burger from modern burger. Everything was delicious and it all tasted natural! Would come to this if there was a chain in Cali! Now off to Orange County I go! Weee read more

Decent burger (comes with lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, and thousand island dressing) but I'd say slightly overpriced for nothing amazing. $5 for a single burger (no fries included). I added a fried egg for $1, which is definitely worth it cuz it made the burger way better. And splurged on the shake of the month (candy cane) for $5. The shake was surprisingly rly good though :) I guess it's a decent place for a quick airport meal read more

Zinburger - Single burger with fried egg. And candy cane shake - Burgers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Pretty tasty burger!! Very modern looking and refreshing. Sadly it's kinda small and people hover to wait for food, so you might want to bring your food elsewhere. However, I discovered that the space at the next door Olive and Ivy marketplace can be shared even though you eat at modern burger!!!! Hurray. Another tip for travelers, the wait is about 15-20 minutes during meal hours. So gauge your flight timing!! Finally, on to the food. I got the breakfast burger - bacon, fried egg, patty, lettuce, tomato and delicious mayo like sauce. It wasn't my favorite burger BUT I would definitely try it again next time. The fried egg was a little too cooked for my liking but it wasn't noticeable. You can also get extras or tell them to cook your meat a certain way or remove some toppings. My favorite part of the burger was the sauce!!!! The bread was alright.. Kinda soggy. Not the worst though. I also got the fries. Mmmm not my favorite and I wouldn't recommend it. Fat and soft. And although it might just have been sitting out for 10 minutes, it was cold when I got it. :( Overall really good for airport food standard. read more

This was a surprisingly excellent burger at a small hole-in-the-wall at Phoenix Sky Harbor Terminal 4 (in section A1-14) I got the double burger with cheese, thousand island, grilled onions for $9.75 plus tax. Devoured it as soon as I boarded my plane before it took off. I think it will take care of my hunger until I land on the other side of the country! This is a highly recommended burger if you are passing through PHX on American Airlines! read more

I can't wait to try the food, but Dominique needs to be taught how to interact with people on the most basic, elementary level. No one has ever actively made me want to end my life the way this gal has. Jesus Christ. Retrain her or fire her. It's not hard to take an order and not sound like you're about to burn the place down. read more

Burger...No I bought a Hot Dog here. Yes and a Chicago Dog at that disguised as their Modern Dog on their menu. Poppy seed bun, glow in the dark relish,sport peppers, onions, tomatoes and mustard...all for $5.75... at the airport. Located between A4 and A5 gates for American. A great deal!!! Yes hamburgers, fries and shakes available at reasonable price$. read more

So disappointing. Waited in line because of gluten free bun on menu. My husband wanted a milk shake, only to be told they are out of gluten free buns and all milkshakes. Oh and onion rings, too. This at 12:45 pm! Ridiculous. read more

Average burger - ehh. I arrived at the airport hungry, and was craving a good burger. I stumbled across this hole in the wall and decided to try it. The burger satisfied hunger but my taste buds were slightly disappointed. Good service however. read more

Avoid this place unless you have at least 20 minutes to wait on your "fast food". As I type this, there is literally one person taking orders and delivering them on the other end of the counter. read more

I have never been to a Modern Burger. I tried the one in the Sky Harbor Airport during a business trip. The food was prepared fast. The seating was very limited, although I was lucky to end up with a table. The burger was good. The big thing that brought the whole experience down was the soggy bun. Even though I ate my burger pretty quickly after recieveing it, part of my bun was soggy. The fries were okay. I also tried a shake. I don't like chocolate (I know), so the only other option was a vanilla???? A vanilla shake? I think you should call that a cup of soft serve ice cream without a topping. read more

Stopped to eat here on my layover and I have to say, this was the most disgusting burger I have ever eaten. I got the El Diablo burger and it was DRENCHED in caramelized onions that were extremely soggy and flavorless. The bun was soaked with grease and a sad excuse for chipotle mayo to the point that when I picked the burger up, it fell apart. Meat was not very good- almost no flavor. Staff was not very friendly. I would never ever recommend this place to someone for a meal and would absolutely never go again. Disgusting. A McDonalds burger is better. read more

Back in October when I posted the review I was contacted by someone who identified himself as a Multi-unit manager and offered to refund the purchase. I responded with the information that he requested and never received a refund. When I messaged him back about the refund I he never responded. Clearly their customer service is as bad as their over priced burgers. read more

I am absolutely shocked that I have never written a review for this place! I am not really a big fan of Hamburgers, an even lesser fan of Ice Tea. However, Modern Burger has the best Ice Tea I have ever had. I get it without Ice, it is really delicious. I bought one for my friend as we were passing through Phoenix and changing planes. I told her it had to be tried. She loved it and she is from Georgia, they know good Ice Tea. The Hamburgers are great! Cooked fresh and they will put anything you want on them. I am going to say the Fries are only good hot. Not so good once they get cold. But, they serve everything nice and hot. This is always a great place to get some good hot food in the Airport. It is located on the Low A side of Terminal 4. They are always busy , but service is very quick! read more

Of course there are a lot of mixed reviews here. This location is in the Airport. Term. 4 Sky Harbor on the US airways side. Kid working the counter was nice and tried to handle everyone as well as he could. The lady behind me was yelling because, there was no Bacon left. It was 5:00 at night on Easter Day. I got a Burger and Fries and an Ice Tea. I thought they were all really good. Not too bad of a price either. I did not wait too long for my food and it was nice and hot when I got it. The woman was still yelling at the kid because they were out of bacon. Hey, everyone just remember, it is not the fault of the emplyoees when things run out. That is management that does the ordering. Plus, you are making everyone work on Easter,I am sure they would all rather be home with their families. So spread the Joy not the Hate~ read more

Double burger with grilled onions was good and at $8 was the best value compared to other airport food. My go to place for meat in airports. read more

Well, someone beat me in being the first to write a review for this burger joint at the airport. Wondering around looking for a place, my options were not appealing to my taste buds because the option were very limited at the airport, or at least at the concourse I was in. I approached the information desk and asked for guidance and was ask , are you looking to a Burger King? Oh heck no something wayyyyyyy better. I was directed to Modern Burger which meant 4 moving walkways from my location which would mean a total of 8 (round trip) UGH! I still went for it. I was not disappointed, the burger was good but its the bread or bun that makes this hamburger. It has the slight sweetness of a brioche. mmmmmmmmmm. The fries? crispy and seasoned. I did not have a milkshake but not like I needed it since there Iced Tea was enough for me. Why 4 and not 5 stars? The wait on the first visit was alittle too long, orders are made fresh to order but still I had a chance to sit down and eat as well as catch my plane. On my layover, guess what I did? Yep headed back to Modern Burger for a redo of my previous order. This place will be on my radar for a few months as I head to Arizona for business and luckily my layover is in Phoenix. read more

This place was amazing. I was delayed over a day. Given multiple food vouchers that didn't work. The manager was so kind and helped. This was delicious and the service was excellent. read more

This place gets busy... Quick. I ordered my food and suddenly 15 ppl was behind me. But that is pretty normal for food spots in the airport. The burger n fries was just ok but I didn't expect anything special. The cashier was quick and courteous. Nothing grand about here but if I am ever in Phoenix starving about to board my plane... I would eat here again. read more

Ok, so I was quite hungover and exhausted when my best friend and I stopped in Phoenix on our way home from Vegas. Our flight was early, we didn't want to leave Sin City and I was a tad cranky that we had a 45 min layover (Grr..) While we were walking around the US Airways terminal looking for a snack, we came across Modern Burger. I'm pretty hesitant re: airport food but I decided to give it a try. Oh My God. Modern Burger.. please open an outlet in NY. Please. Your Cheeseburgers are amazing. The beef is great quality - as was the salad I opted to put on to of my burger. However - the fries were the best part of my meal. Beautifully cut and seasoned to perfection. I am literally now going to transit in Phoenix every time I fly west now - just to have my Modern Burger fix! read more

Eating a modern burger makes one wonder what is so difficult about making a delicious hamburger in the first place. Fresh lettuce, flavorful sauce, soft bun, appropriately cooked meat, that's about it, right? Ok, maybe the 'fresh lettuce' part is hard to do in an airport, but this place even gets that right. I'll make this review easy for you to decide...I ordered one on a layover, and then had to have a second one for the road. You won't be dissappointed. read more

One of the best burgers I've ever eaten in my existence and I try it at an airport in Phoenix. Who would've known?! I can't pinpoint what it is exactly that makes these burgers so extraordinarily good. Maybe it's the extra melted cheese on my patty, or the super fresh veges that they add in. It also might be because I was as hungry as a pair of starving hyenas. The buns were so puffy with a bit of a crunch to it. They must have made it fresh! If I find out that any of the food there is frozen or processed, I will instantly become a fan of processed frozen food. Yep.. THAT'S how good those burgers are. read more

I ordered the breakfast burger and the smoothie of the month (which was double chocolate-strawberry). The burger had plentiful portions and tasted yummy. I was pleasantly surprised!!! Price was $7.50 & smoothie was $5. The staff were friendly. The only bad thing about this place is the non existing seating area. Apart from that it is a great place to catch a good American burger while waiting for a layover or picking up a quick bite onto your next flight. read more

Last time we were in PHX we spent $75 for a terrible meal at Zinc so we were looking to spend a bit less and I checked out reviews and this place seemed popular and well rated (and cheap as far as airport grub goes). They were pretty busy but hustling along so we placed our order. The burger looked great, but tasted not so good. As I always try to point out the positives, I will say the buns were really good, like a brioche or egg enriched bread. The main issue was my burger tasted and smelled like dishwater. It was subtle, but definitely a distinct off taste. I deconstructed the burger to figure out why it tasted like dishsoap, and I think I narrowed it down the the lettuce and tomato? the tomato was also pale and unripe. Maybe somehow the veggies were not rinsed well? They had a stale industrial sink sanitizer taste. I tasted the meat patty seperately too and it was not good, also had a bit of an off taste, kind of the taste of meat that's been cooked and refridgerated and reheated, even though I know the patty was cooked to order and not reheated. My kids were not interested in finishing their burgers, and my husband shrugged and said "it's airport food". The fries are standard frozen fast food fries. I don't think I'll be eating here the next time I'm traveling through PHX. read more

Passing through Phoenix and I yelped all the eats between Gates A20's and over to A1-10 - all places seem to hold a 3.5 star rating. I really like burgers. Usually will try to find a good burger place whenever I travel. Modern burger had the same amount of stars but the prices were REALLY reasonable and we could get an egg on our burger. My husband was over me yelping all the restaurants so we went with modern burger with low expectations. I did like the design of this place (white brick wall, metal white industrial chairs) The lady who helped us was really nice! Ordered a single patty ($5.50) and added an egg. ($1) She instinctively asked us if we were splitting (we were!) and said she'd cut it in half. How kind! Added an order of fries and asked for 2 water cups. She gave us 2 large cups of ice water. The burger was cut in half and individually wrapped! also very thoughtful. Took a bite and immediately wished I got my own burger ;) The burger was very good and tasty! It was really juicy with the thousand island and full with lettuce, tomatoes and the fried egg. I liked the bun but it was on the thin side, could have been a little better. The fries were okay but the salt seasoning they added helped with the taste and made them smell delicious :) Overall, I'd definitely eat here again. Really impressed with the service and quality of food - i never really leave a review after I go to a place but this place left an impression... plus I'm waiting to board my plane ;) thanks modern burger! read more

I gotta day for an airport burger this was great. Burger was out in five minutes, fresh and cooked to perfection. For $12 at the airport they pretty fairly priced too. Chopped wedge was great and they gave me extra dressing when I asked. Fries were a little cold and undercooked but overall a good experience read more

Just kilt my breakfast burger & it was pretty good. Nice size burger & it wasn't to dry, 1000 island dressing helped. I don't eat ketchup so I always use bbq sauce but they didn't have any. What burger place doesn't have bbq sauce? read more

The food was GREAT when I initially ate it. Egg + burger + in n out like sauce + grilled onions + affordable pricing in an AIRPORT = heaven. However, I believe I got a stomach flu from this joint. I hadn't eaten anything other than my burger at Modern Burger, and when I flew back to my home city I experienced the worst sort of nausea EVER. Up came the burger and all it's leftovers. Sick. Eeek!! Methinks not so much. read more

After an over night flight from Hawaii this place was my breakfast haven. Naturally I ordered a breakfast burger and my only disappointment was that I didn't get fried too! The burger was everything I like in a burger, juicy and flavorful. It was like a BLT on crack really. Personally if a burger isn't messy to eat, than its too dry. Just my opinion and I ate this burger from its wrapper to minimize the mess in public. I mean I am a lady. I also thought the price was reasonable. Actually I thought it was cheap but I did just return from the land of the $5 ice tea and $16 omelettes. In short, stop by and grab a burger when you are hungry. I don't think you will be disappointed. Notice, no photo. It was too good to stop eating. read more

Simply amazing with delicious charcoal flavors on the meat, great burger sauce, fresh toppings, and crispy French fries.

Basically fast food. My BLT was slapped together and looked like a mess. Also about 3x too much mayonnaise. Yuck. Fries were good as were shakes. My kids said burgers were ok. Can't recommend this place. read more

Salad was pretty good, but the burger was straight poo poo. Super dry, and the patty wasn't the original thicc patty but two dry patties that tasted worse than fast food. Gotta go to a real zinburger I guess for good burgers. read more

Layover from Orange County, CA to Orlando, FL. After flying for literally only 45 minutes, I was a bit peckish! Decided to try a "Modern Burger Kids Meal".... Boy was that an understatement! I wasn't "THAT" hungry, until my order came out. Big, juicy, and well seasoned burger, with delightfully tasty fries! Reminded me a lot of Shake Shack. Awesome place to grab a bite if you are in the airport! read more

I tend to stay away from airport food (especially quick service) because it's usually a big trap and what you get never seem to match what you just paid for it. Modern Burger restored my faith (if there ever was faith there to begin with) with its reasonable prices, fast service, and most importantly: seemingly really good food. Have I lost you yet? Good food from a quick service counter in an airport? I do have to say that being absolutely starving after having landed for a layover and not really expecting too much has a lot to do with it. Modern Burger was right by the gate I exited out of and being a burger guy through and through it seemed like a sign from heaven. I got the Breakfast Burger and it ended up being about $8 with the addition of a fried egg. Fries and a drink would've been an additional $3. The burger was cooked well, flavorful, and hit the spot. I didn't have to wait long either which justified me getting the burger in the first place knowing full well how short of a layover time I had. Check it out if you ever find yourself passing by here. Definitely gave me enough fuel to endure a long flight. I've yet to find better quality/tasting airport quick service food. read more

Slowest airport fast food. Took 20+ minutes for a burger. I don't recommend stopping here if you have a shorter layover.

Pretty awesome burger for the price. Got the double, it was juicy and cooked right. I'd visit if you're craving a burger in the airport.
