32 Best Burger Restaurants in Arlington

“Delicious smash burgers and shakes! Got the classic (as a lettuce wrap) and the jalepeno with oreo milkshake and cheese fries. The fries come unseasoned - but they have a seasoning station to add it yourself - always measure with your heart!
If you want the fries I recommend just getting the regular fries.“

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

“Great food. Very friendly staff“

“Great food and service. Family enjoyed very much. We will come again.“

“We loved the hot dogs, turkey burgers, and sweet potato fries, but also had regular fries and burgers too. My husband gave the hotdogs a five star rating!“

“This is probably the best run airport restaurant/quick food option I’ve seen at an airport in years. They are friendly, efficient, and you can tell they actually care about the quality and presentation of the food they serve. The manager is doing an excellent job!!!!“

“Have done delivery and take out from here before and it never disappoints. Burgers are great and today went post workout and ordered to go while waiting. It was happy hour so got $2 off my drink and the woman at the bar was so patient with me and let me try several of their options before I finally decided on something delicious to drink.

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free buns and modifications for all items are available

Parking: Free garage parking 2 blocks away and paid 2 hr street parking“

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

“BRING BACK QUESADILLA MARINA! That’s was the best quesadilla ever!!!“

“This is the best Five Guys I have been to in a long time. When I heard they were essentially reopening the first five guys I had to check this place out and honestly it was like they were working at a higher standard than most other stores to live up to it being the original or something. My burger was great, the fries were perfect, the people working there were friendly and helpful and there was even a neat Mural on the wall that made this location feel special. Good Job!“

“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“

“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!“

“Had Kyle as a server who was FANTASTIC!! Food and atmosphere were great! Would definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️“

“Great Food!!!!! Thank you!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“I recently stopped by District Pizza Palace for some halal eats and left really satisfied. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, perfect for grabbing a slice or sitting down for a relaxed meal with friends.

The food is honestly the star here. Their handmade, create-your-own pizzas are delicious, with fresh toppings and a one-of-a-kind taste that sets them apart from your usual pizza spots. Everything came out hot and exactly how I wanted it.

Customer service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff was polite, helpful, and made the experience even better. The place was also very clean, which I always appreciate. As a Muslim, I love having a halal pizza spot like this that delivers both on quality and service.

Overall, District Pizza Palace definitely does not disappoint. I’d highly recommend giving them a try - 10/10 experience.“

“Fresh ingredients, great customer service.“

“Epic SmokeHouse – Arlington, VA Overall Rating: 8/10 Parking lot upgrades at the Pentagon brought G-FORCE to Arlington, but we didn’t expect to stumble upon BBQ royalty just a mile down the road at Epic SmokeHouse. Let’s just say… the name fits. We kicked things off with the App Sampler—and every bite hit like a flavor freight train. Smoked wings so tender they felt like they’d just left the hog pen—crispy skin, juicy interior, absolute perfection. Burnt ends? Melt-in-your-mouth with just enough sauce to whisper "I’m fancy" without screaming it. And the Kalua Pig Rolls… I still don’t know what’s in them, but I want to shake the chef’s hand (or hug him). Then came the showstopper: Brisket Poutine. Hand-cut fries crisped to golden excellence, smothered in rich brown butter gravy, melty cheese curds, and that sweet smoky brisket—topped with green onions and sesame seeds for that crunch-and-pop finale. This dish is dangerous… the kind of comfort food that makes you forget what day it is. The House Secret Burnt Mac rolled in hot in a mini skillet—smoky, cheesy, and just saucy enough to coat every bite without drowning it. Balanced, bold, and addicting. Don’t sleep on the Collard Greens either—just the right amount of flavor, a lil’ bit of spice but not too bold. A solid side that holds its own. Final Verdict: If you’re in Arlington for business, BBQ, or just breathing—get to Epic SmokeHouse. And if you're lucky, G-FORCE might’ve just made the parking lot a little smoother on your way in. #PaintAndPlateCrew #SupportLocal #EpicEats #BBQNearThePentagon #HIREAVET #GFORCEApproved #8OutOf10 #WINWITHVSB #PAINTCORPS“

“I stopped in one night for a takeout order. I was helped immediately was able to place my order. I got a cheeseburger with everything fries and an Oreo shake. All the food was really good. The burger had a lot of toppings and the fries were huge. I also got a bottle of water which came out to $29. I will say that the food was good but as other of you to point out, this is very expensive for what you get. I’m glad that I ate her, but I would try another place next time.“

“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.“

“This is a really cool spot. The inside is nicely decorated, with lots of dog pictures!! They have lots of options. You can get the hot dogs as beef, veggie, or chicken. I got the Buffalo (blue cheese crumbles, chopped celery, sriracha, and ranch) and House (onion relish, mustard, mayo, celery salt) I really enjoyed both, especially the House Dog!! This is a Black owned, gourmet hot dog spot! Very cool!“

“Been to his old location in Arlington and frequent his current location. Not only a great person, provides great food and hospitality!“

“Friendly staff…good food and coffee!“

“My wife and I had lunch here earlier today and it was awesome! My half-price blue moon burger was excellent. High quality beef that was cooked to perfection. The Wrangler grilled salmon was was not overcooked and ithad great flavor. And my cup of cowboy chili really hit the spot. 😋. We ordered Texas barbecue brisket and another burger for takeout, and I’m sure both of those will be great as well. Thanks Karen for the great service!“

“Wow, I'm SO excited to have a great sandwich shop in Ballston!!!! The sandwiches are so freaking good, and I'm usually not big on fries or home-made chips, but I finished it all, they're both so delicious. The bread is so good too, and everything is reasonably priced. This is going to be my go-to sandwich place in the area. I can't wait to try their cocktails next!“

“This was a very satisfying burger. The Lucky Bun burger had Gouda, arugula, and charred red onions. Very hearty. Complex flavors. And i love the malt vinegar mayonnaise that comes with the fries.

You're also in the environs of Union Market, which is fun.“

“Si pero hay vamos en Burger King“

“So cute, attention to every detail, delicious bagels and latte! This place exceeded expectations with the floral exterior decor on a cold day, friendly and patient service, and neatly packaged, hot, fresh bagels. They have variety of unique bagel flavors and cream cheeses to choose from.“

“In DC for a layover. Chick-fil-A was closed, and we were really craving burgers. I love all of the different options for toppings, and the food came out relatively quick. The french fries were tasty. Not super crisp, but salt usually helps make everything taste better. I got a burger without a bun, and the foil container. It came in, was really nice. It was very convenient and easy to eat. I will be excited when Chick-fil-A opens back up, but this was a worthy substitute.“
