BGR The Burger Joint

Not bad but better burger choices in the area.

I used a Groupon to try BGR for the first time.  So at least I felt like I got a deal.

The burgers were fine (mine was overcooked but my son's was spot on) and the fries were fine too.

No complaints but no raves either.  They do have beer which is a bonus.

In order for one to say that BGR's portions are small & expensive one must be both extremely gluttonous & just plain effing cheap.

The burgers are on the pricier end for this place being just a "burger joint" & not say, a "steakhouse." HOWEVER, $2 for a drink & $3 for fries is NOT a lot in Fairfax County or anywhere else in the United States for that matter.  Especially when 2 people can EASILY share one order of their perfectly crisp always piping hot amazingly delicious fries.  

I've tried almost every burger on the menu & have never been disappointed, but the real reason why I return is for their fries.  If you like garlic fries (or garlic in general) do yourself a favor & pay extra for them, mash the roasted garlic up with a fork & toss your fries around in it.  You can thank me later once your food coma subsides.

Great burgers and fries! After moving from Arlington to Burke, it's great to have a high quality burger joint on par with the places in Arlington nearby.They have a lot of different kinds of specialty burgers but I'd recommend making your own.  Stick with beef too, I had the lamb and a turkey burger, and they were OK but not great. The fries are also excellent, and the custom soda machine is great (coke zero vanilla anyone?).  And they've got Yuengling on tap.

Everything is freshly made so it can take a little while to get the food, most of the times I've been here they're behind on orders.

I really can't figure out all of the hate on the prices here.  The specialty burgers, especially the lamb burger, can be pricey but a regular burger without premium toppings like bacon is priced well. You get what you pay for, if you want something cheaper go to Burger King.
