I love this place for a casual dinner with friends. They have a good selection of burgers, sandwiches, and salads, as well as tasty sides and apps. The burgers and shakes are delicious, and the staff are always friendly. Would recommend this place.

Ordered takeout.
Make your own 3rd pound +
(Beef medium well, crispy onions, spinach, sunny side up egg with thousand island sauce)
Make your own shake+
(Brownie+Banana)
Side parmesan fries
The burger was perfectly done, the egg was just slightly over sunny side up but that was likely due to the heat during travel after takeout.
Shake was one of the best I've ever had.
Fries were decent, only thing is the cheese wanst spread evenly thoughout, otherwise very good as well.
Overall I would definitely go again.

Great burgers. Wide range of burger menu options plus you can custom build your own. My BBQ bacon burger was huge and delicious. Fries were very plentiful and perfectly crisp. They have other items like salads and meatless burgers. Food wasn't cheap, but it was well worth the difference over fast food.

Upscale burgers with a chic diner vibe! Less stuffy attitude than another high end burger option nearby and kid-friendly. Food is reasonably priced for being well above the level of fast food burgers. Only letdown were the potato🍟 on the 50/50 - too thin and salty.
James, behind the bar, was super friendly and we exchanged stories about our kids. He even kiddie milkshake on the house as we were headed out the door!

Ordered carry out. It was waiting when I got there.
The mini burgers were very tasty. The side of fries have good flavor and enough salt. However they would be better fresh out the fryer. So next time I won't get fries to-go.

First time here and loved it. Service was great. Food was incredible. Burgers were delicious. Nashville chicken was perfect. Wings were some of the best. Will definitely be back! One of the best burgers spots

In here you have the option to REALLY build your own burger.
Several buns, hundred sauces, and million toppings to select from. It is a really pleasant experience.
The only thing is, this fancy collection won't replace the beef patty. A perfect burger needs a perfect patty.

Good burgers. My kids like these burgers over Bobby Flay’s burgers, but I prefer the latter. Great burger over Sonoma bowl, and also they gave me a military discount. Quick and attentive servers. Sloppy paint job on the chalkboard wall though. 😅 love downtown Reston; going back again. 👍🏼👍🏼

Delicious and high quality burgers! We got the Counter Burger, Juicy Lucy, Bison is Gouda, and Nashville Hot. Sides were fries, onion strings, chili, and coleslaw. The coleslaw was not good (bland) but everything else was yummy. Server was also super friendly. Note that all the melted cheese slid/fell out the Juicy Lucy burger after it was picked up
