We both got a bbq burger, fries, and a malt. The food was delicious, and we both enjoyed the fries and malts. The atmosphere is cozy, and you can see them making your food. The staff were pleasant, and overall, i am so glad we decided to eat here.

I generally wait until I've been to a place at least three times before I review it, but I'm not going to wait for Burgerfry. I've been there twice and I'm highly impressed. And, hey, it's hard to impress me with a hamburger and fries.

The concept is simple. You order a burger, single or double patty, add cheese if you want and then choose from an assortment of toppings. The caramelized onions are perfect. They even have a fried egg as an option. Not many burger places around here do that. In fact, I can't think of another.

Don't be fooled by the people complaining about the prices. Yes, they're a little higher than, say, McDonald's or Burger King, but you're getting a much higher quality product. Isn't it worth an extra dollar or so to get a burger that really tastes like a burger? These burgers are thick and juicy and nicely charred on the edges. The wait time is not a big deal, either. No, it's not fast food speed, but they aren't fast food. When a burger is made fresh and to order, I think it's worth a five minute wait vs. the factory assembled garbage at the fast food joints.

I almost gave Burgerfry four stars, but went with five. The reason I hesitated is that the bathroom could be a bit cleaner. No, it's not hog lot nasty, but it's not as clean as it should be, either. Other than that, both experiences at Burgerfry have been marvelous.

UPDATE: I just got finished having lunch at BurgerFiend and wondered if I ever reviewed this place. Turns out I did, nine years ago, when they were Burger Fry.

I have the day off from work and for days I've been telling myself I am getting a big, juicy burger and a chocolate malt for lunch. I was not completely disappointed. The burger was certainly hot and juicy and big. The fries were nice and hot, too. The malt was perfect. The girl at the counter was friendly. Yet, I felt compelled to change my former five star rating to four star for one simple reason. I had requested tomato, onion, and lettuce on my sandwich. Oh, they were there, but I had to look for them. Looking at the photos BurgerFiend uses for promotions, I see nice, thick tomato slices, onion slices, and enough lettuce you can see the leafy green stuff poking out from under the patty. What I had were a few scrawny little pieces of tomato, a few tiny chunks of diced onion, and a small piece of wilted lettuce.

In my previous review I stuck up for the place for having high prices, since what you get is much better than a typical fast food burger. However, now I feel that for the price you pay, you should get condiments that are better quality and more abundant than you get on a typical fast food burger.

A fantastic burger place! The burgers are all very customizable, with their menu almost working like Subway's menu where you build what you want. Great friendly staff and delicious food for a good price! Fantastic place to go to!

I recommend the loaded fries with lamb meat, grilled onions and jalapeños and cheese. The small order is enough for two people. It’s an excellent price and once the girls know you’re in there they pretty much got my order down now I try to get it at least every other week, I consider it a treat on

My friends and family go here every year now to celebrate my brother's birthday. Service is great and the food is tasty. I got a gyro, strawberry malt, and medium fries. The menu has a variety of items that you can choose from, but not so much that you get overwhelmed.

Vegetarian options: There are veggie options on the menu.

Parking: There's a parking lot. ?

Wheelchair accessibility: It's street level so you can get your wheels inside.

Atmosphere was great! You can tell it’s a family owned business or it has the feel of one like they take pride in everything they serve. The place is super clean too. There’s a cute lady in the kitchen that makes delicious Baklava! The burgers were put together with care and were tasty! The small fries were the size of a large at a fast food restaurant. Great experience, would definitely recommend!
