10 Best Burger Restaurants in Leesburg

“🔥 MELT in Leesburg, VA – Where Burgers Become Royalty 🔥 Today my taste buds officially moved to a new zip code — Flavor Town, population: MELT. My wife and I finally made it to MELT in Leesburg after hearing great things, and let me just say… shame on us for waiting so long. Debbie, the owner (and now part-time head-bopper), greeted us like we were long-lost cousins showing up late to the family BBQ. When I told her it was our first visit, she gave me a playful bop on the head with our table number and asked, “What took you so long?” Touché, Debbie. Touché. Now onto the burgers… and yes, they deserve their own paragraph. I ordered the A Jazzed Up Swiss Burger — and let me tell you, this was no run-of-the-mill meat puck. We're talking Gruyère so rich it probably pays taxes in Switzerland, Black Forest ham that must’ve taken a first-class flight in, baby bella mushrooms sautéed to perfection, and a tangy smear of whole-grain mustard tying it all together. Every bite said, “Sir, this is not fast food — this is fine dining between buns.” My wife had the Paris Burger — imagine garlic-kissed beef topped with brie so creamy it probably auditioned for a romance film, with balsamic onions adding the drama. Let’s just say she stopped talking mid-bite. That’s how you know it’s good. The vibe? Casual but classy, with staff who treat you like family (the good side of the family, not the ones who borrow your tools and never bring them back). And yes… in a moment of grilled beef-fueled euphoria, I may have proclaimed myself the Burger King. Debbie gave me a look. I instantly realized my mistake. This isn’t that kind of burger joint. This is a burger experience. Saying "Burger King" here is like bringing boxed wine to a French vineyard. Long story short — go to MELT. Go now. Go often. And when Debbie bops you on the head, just smile… because that means you're officially part of the MELT kingdom. 👑🍔“

“Best quick burger in Northern Virginia!“

“Amazing service and wonderful food“

“Lovely family who owned this place 👍🏾 very dedicated to their costumer ❤️ I recommend everyone to try their ice cream and food 🥘“

“Today service was not the best i have had in padt visits. No refills of water and coffee offered. I had to call on someone other than my server. No follow up check to see if I needed anything else. Disappointing.“

“The place was very busy tonight, but the staff appeared to work smooth together to get through it! They deserve a raise!!“

“So much better than Arby’s!“

“The condiment bar cannot be beat. It is nice to "have it YOUR way," not the way some kid in the back thinks you like it!“

“The gumbo and red beans and rice are so amazing. I want to have them every day? Every time I come to the Garage I want to try other things but I usually can’t pass up Bayou Nola. We have had their fries too, they’re also reallly good. They’re so nice here too. Martinsburg is so lucky to have them here.☺️“

“I worked for Sonic as a teenager in a different part of the country. Where I grew up Sonic is equal to the Golden Arches, it’s where you get spontaneous Saturday limeades when it hits 100* and families constantly saw each other at the location nearest to you. *Everyone* had a favorite Sonic drink. It was a big deal on the first day that slushes & cream slushes went to half price each Summer.

It sounds crazy, but one of my main disappointments when moving into NoVA 4 years ago was the lack of Sonic drive-ins - the closest one was 45min away. I recently traveled back to NoVA again and found that Leesburg now has a Sonic!!!

To say that I’m picky about Sonic food *and especially Sonic drinks* is an understatement.
Today, this location got it RIGHT.
The cream slush is usually where locations mess up - using too much slush and not enough flavor & soft serve - and it’ll come out too crunchy from the ice and too thin. Quickly turning to watery disappointment. This one was just right! (although it could have used another 10seconds of mixing for even flavoring throughout). The slush we ordered with nerds was a FULL cup with a really generous scoop of candy and it had clearly been mixed in as it should be (this is NOT the norm, many places don’t bother mixing these into the slush). The fried items were properly done, not undercooked or overdone.
I have only visited this location once and we didn’t order any burgers, so I can’t give the location a full 5-stars, but I suspect they are doing Sonic operations the right way - even located so far from where Sonic started ;) we will be back!“
