50 Best Burger Restaurants near Potomac

“Great food and service was good“

“Great burgers. Salted peanuts in the shell are a nice treat. They know how to cook beach fries the right way (2 baths). Price is a factor, but the food is well executed. Potomac location has a few nice outdoor tables.“

“You won’t go wrong with anything 🦚❤️👍🏻“

“Food is what you expect from McDonald’s. I’m not giving McDonald’s food in general five stars but the level at which the staff here produces food so neatly and quickly is impressive. I have yet to get soggy fries or a messy sandwich or wrong order from this location.

Parking here generally sucks but I have my own solution that I won’t share hah. But do keep that in mind.“

“Without a doubt the best place in Rio. The customer service is exceptional and the staff really pays attention to you as a person, not just a customer. The food is excellent and the place is well maintained.“

“It was amazing“

“The food here is extremely delicious and they have the best fries I've ever had from a restaurant. Scrumptious... if it wasn't as unhealthy and expensive as it is I'd eat here every day. It's my favorite vegan food place in Rockville. I always get the Egg Sammy and fries. 1000/10 Updated from previous review on 2026-01-12“

“You will not leave hungry. Had to wait in line for awhile“

“Quite simply the best burgers and fries I have ever tried!
So good you wish to hug the staff (but don't do it without their consent).
So good I forgave my schoolmate who stole my favorite toy car in 2nd grade (but I still want it back!).

Try for yourselves!“

“Recommended, did not disappoint, had the Po Boy, very filling, parking can be a challenge, but overall, worth the travel.“

“Our favorite place ! We live closer to a different location but the Olney one has our hearts. Our 4 & 2 year old love the food just as much as the adults. We recently had them cater a party for us and we will definitely be doing that again in the future“

“My family and I love PLNT Burger. It is always a special treat because the closest location is 40 minutes away. You can't go wrong with the cheeseburgers, fries and a shake. My kids love the grilled cheese kids meal. Marlon (Tysons location) always provides friendly service with a smile! I always know we'll have a great meal when he's working.“

“Reviews are spot on. Haha fantastic Gold Rush burger which was tender and juicy. Really liked their home made pickles that added a nice touch. It's a bit tight dining inside and the metal chairs could be uncomfortable to some. Looking forward though to trying some of the other menu items soon.“

“Wonderful experience, excellent customer service, delicious food, ambience was well lit, and the owner was exceptionally friendly and went out of his way to entertain us and give us free food to sample. We will definitely be going back there again.“

“Plenty of frys. the shakes are cold and good I love to come here often the food is very good the hotdogs are one of my favorites because they Come in hot and ready to eat very good restaraunt would recoment 5 stars the staff is kind and cool I made a friend here so yea 5 star“

“Was in the mood for a good cheesesteak so we decided to try out a recommendation from the Vienna Foodies group! Our experience was great, great service and the food was good. My husband got the double double on a pretzel burger and I had the original cheesesteak! We were VERY impressed how the fries at the bottom of the basket were still crispy! We’ll definitely be back! 🔥💯👏🏽“

“Wonderful place! Greatest crowd excellent food super bartenders“

“ Big Buns in Arlington, VA is where it's at! The place has this cool vibe going on – you walk in, and you just know you're in for a good time. The food? Man, they've got all kinds of stuff on the menu. Burgers that'll make your mouth water, and they even have this insane Unicorn shake for dessert – it's like something out of a dream. And don't even get me started on the drinks. They've got some seriously killer cocktails that'll knock your socks off. Oh, and did I mention the location? It's smack dab in the middle of Arlington, so it's super easy to get to. And the service? A+. The staff is friendly, and fast. So yeah, if you're in the mood for some good eats and a chill vibe, you gotta hit up Big Buns. Trust me, you won't regret it“

“I recommend eating in the establishment. It is very clean and the service is top notch.“

“When I read the reviews, talking about the generous portions and the tastes, I had to try this play. The only issue that I didn’t take seriously, was a couple of people said their food was too salty. Unfortunately, the portions were not generous! My fries ($4) portion was somewhere between the small-medium of McDonald fries. And my double patty was burger was very tasty, BUT so so salty that I think I drank at least 2-3 bottles of water within 30 min of finishing my food. Unfortunately, won’t be back and won’t recommend, unless they address the salt issue which is absolutely the dealbreaker.“

“I love a good chicken sandwich and this one is halal so I was extra excited to try this place! Red bird is located in the shopping between a nail salon and hair salon. There are 6 tables, each seating four guests. The cashier was very polite, assisting me with my choices and helping me understand heat levels. The chicken sandwich is on a yummy bun (potato bun?) dressed with a crunchy veggie slaw which is really good. It's not as spicy as Hangry Joe's (where you have to sign a waiver to order the hottest level) so feel free to lean into the spice!“

“We visited for a celebratory lunch today, and Ryan took wonderful care of us! We ordered the focaccia appetizer, one Caesar salad (which we shared), and we each ordered the half-size Fusilli Bolognese. All items were outstanding and Ryan gave us some extra touches to make our event special. We’ll be back for our next celebration!“

“My apologies for the late review!!! I had a great experience at Checkers a couple weeks ago thanks to one of the employees who really went above and beyond. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything in my order was right. You can tell she actually cares about the customers, which made the visit a lot better.The food was also on point. The fries were fresh and tasted like they were cooked in clean oil — which makes a huge difference because sometimes they can taste old or mixed with other fryer items. Everything came out hot and fresh. Overall, excellent service and great food. Employees like her really make the experience stand out.“

“Okay, one gripe: I asked for a burger with ketchup, and never mentioned pickles. When I got the burger, it had pickles and no ketchup. Not a big deal, I took the pickles off and put some ketchup on it. It was a great burger, as usual. They just need to pay a little more attention. I still put a couple bucks in the tip jar because people have kids to feed.

That being said, great burger, great fries (and still a generous portion), and lots of Diet Coke.

Also a plus: terrific music on the speakers! I had Shazam open during the meal, and grabbed seven good songs that I'd never heard before. Yes!“

“The brunch charburger was fabulous…… only complaint would be that the grill cook burnt the bottom of the fried egg 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️“

“❤️ Neutral Ground Bar & Kitchen“

“A good stop for a great burger in Great Falls
This location is one of the over 1500 locations in the United States and over 70 locations in Virginia. THis is the only one in Great Falls. It is located at the intersection of the Leesburg Pike and Georgetown Pike. up on a hill. It seemed easy to find and get to. There seemed to be ample parking in front of the restaurant and to the northeast side of the building. There was inside and outside seating. The inside dining area has about 10 tables of various heights and sizes with metal chairs. You enter through the front door in the corner of the store. You order at the counter, pay, receive a number and wait for your food to be cooked. The staff was very pleasant and efficient. You can see your order being prepared behind the register. The cost of 2 hamburgers, 2 drinks and 1 order of french fries was over $30 so it is not as cheap as it once was. The food was excellent. Drinks are from a serve-yourself station with 2 large electronic coke machines, ice, and condiments. All the tables and surfaces were kept very clean. Overall a very pleasant, delicious experience that was a little higher priced than our previous visits.“

“Great hamburger. Very friendly service and everything was cooked to order“

“I love this place ❤️. Highly recommend“

“PERFECTLY cooked burger! Our meal was expensive but so worth it. Everything (wagyu burger with gluten free bun, kids burger, hot dog, sweet potato fries) were delicious. There's a nice green commons area directly outside that is so relaxing.

We were a little turned around for parking - there's a big garage but we parked at the elementary school on that weekend (not sure if we are supposed to do that) and then the place is a block down the street.“

“Great food, but a bit odd that they chose to do QR code menus in a building with no reception. Wifi is available, but still.

Service was great, made us feel comfortable.

Based on the crowd and decor, looks like it might be a popular lunch spot for cops. Something to keep in mind if that bothers you.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free buns available“

“Very good expirience, tried the cheesteak and the wings. Both were amazing. The woman serving us was very nice and offered great customer service. The old bay wings were perfectly crispy and well seasoned. The cheesesteak had a great combination of sauce, bread, topping and beef.“

“Ballston Local is an amazing place to dine in, or order out. Everything in the menu was delicious and the brunch was far better than expected. Loved it every single time“

“Their burgers are delicious, the meat tasted so fresh I forgot I was eating in public. I got the sandwich with mushrooms, I like mushrooms but it has to be cooked a certain way and they nailed it. You can barely taste them and blend in perfectly with everything else. They have a special sauce that tastes like homemade BigMac sauce that I’ve only had here and goes great with the meal. Their fries tasted like they were right out the fryer and perfectly seasoned, overall a great experience but it’s the type of food you have to eat instantly or it’ll get soggy on the way home. Their sodas are a hit or miss, they can taste watered down but they have some of the best shakes I’ve had.“

“We have eaten here several times now and the pizza is always amazing! their black truffle mushroom brie pizza is to die for. Today I tried Pizza Bianca and it tasted soo fresh, you can always taste the individual ingredients in the pizza.. and the Stubborn agave vanilla cream soda is addictive!“

“This is my go to burger spot for the last few years! Easily my favorite burgers in the area! They are very fast and friendly. I always call and place a phone order when I am 5 minutes away. My food is always fresh and ready as soon as I get there! The burgers always taste amazing. I always get the elevation burger. 100% would recommend to everyone!“

“This place may be small and not very fancy, but the food is absolutely on point. I’ve also used them for catering, and everyone loved it. My favorites are the khachapoori with egg, the beef kabobs, and the chicken shawarma. I truly love this authentic restaurant.“

“The burgers and fries are very good Very expensive to go frequently“

“Great Food!!!!! Thank you!“

“Great place with great food and a good atmosphere“

“Amazing customer service delicious food and fast service please go check it out“

“Stopped by Shake Shack and had a great experience! We tried the strawberry shake and the root beer float, and both were delicious. The strawberry shake was creamy with a nice fresh flavor, and the root beer float had that perfect balance of bubbly and sweet. The staff was friendly and the service was quick, making it a smooth and easy visit. Definitely a solid spot when you’re craving a classic treat!“

“Fresh ingredients, great customer service.“

“Great dogs and beer selection. Cheese fries were also delicious. Would recommend to try this spot if in Bethesda, MD.“

“Shake Shack Ballston is great - food, service, interior cleanliness, and Covid protocols. The staff went the extra mile to ensure my family didn’t just have a quick bite, but a great dining experience - bringing drinks to the table, offering custard for the kids, and taking our trays.“

“best burger ever“

“Great local great food , gotta go early, sadly don't take reservations“

“Food was good. Lemon ricotta pancakes didn't even need syrup. My friend asked for more coffee midway through the meal and the server never brought it. More attentive service would have been appreciated. But overall it was a good experience.“

“Five stars for what they do alone...proceeds from Stray Cat Cafe and Lost Dog Sandwiches and Pizza next door donated to animal rescue. The menu at Stray Cat is a bit more sophisticated than the sandwiches and pizza next door - reliable comfort food. Pictures of cats adorn the walls. What's not to love here? Good craft beer list too, just like next door.“
