big burger spot

first burger in greensboro. don't let the location deceive you, this place is awesome. it's located in a gas station, or i guess you could say connected to one. i ordered the backyard bbq burger and a side a sweet potato waffle fries. the burger was grilled perfectly and was nicely seasoned. the bbq sauce was tangy and complimented the bacon and crispy onions. thefrieswere also delicious, they make a homemade sweet sauce that tastes like liquid apple pie. i will definitely be back, and often.

my burger was ordered medium and it came out well done. the "aged cheddar" on the bacon cheesefrieswas actually cheese sauce out if a dispenser. not the best.

best burger in greensboro. love this place! lots of variety to choose from. not only do they have awesome burgers andfries- the specialty sandwiches and salads are great too!

must try!. excellent burger! had the pimento burger which came with bacon and was cooked to medium perfection. trufflefrieswere the perfect side. everything was fresh and top quality. odd location attached to a gas station but don't let that put you off!

staff was extremely friendly as well. will stop in again when in greensboro.

didn't get what i ordered. i will admit the burger was good this place was recommended by a co-worker. unfortunately i never got the garlic pestofriesi had ordered. i was told someone would bring them out and they never did. they did refund the money since i had no more time to wait. i guess they have a hard time multi tasking and they weren't even that busy.

what took me so long???. i am very embarassed to say that i am practically walking distance from this gastro-heaven. my wife and i tried it for the first time yesterday in honor of national cheeseburger day. my wife said that it was better than cook out and five guys combined. this is no lie. she had an almost sized angus beef classic and an almost side of seasoned fries. i had the almost sized bacon burger with an order of almost specialtyfrieswith garlic and parmasean. my, my, my. fantastic food here. i even got the chance to sample the beef brisket. so many options here. we will be back and often. you won't be disappointed. friendly service and worth the venture into the northern corners of battleground avenue to find it.

burger spot = cool spot......... as a fan of mom-and-pop eateries and small places with a big food presence, the burger spot not only warms the cockles of my heart but amazes me on nearly every visit. we were patrons of the previous restaurant in this unlikely location and became curious when a new sign was erected a few months ago. much to our delight, it was so much more than we expected - but certainly hoped for.
where to start? obviously the burgers. as a fan of burgers at several greensboro locations (fisher grill, emma keys, etc.), i will say without hesitation that these are the best in town. excellent ingredients (angus beef), perfect preparation (be not afraid!! get it the way they wish to serve it: medium), and tasty accoutrements. you will have many options for burger choices (fixed combinations of ingredients or your call) so just go for one and dive in - you will be making many return visits to try all the others.
thefriesare topnotch - nice bit of crisp, soft interior, goldilocks size (not too big, not too small), and with flavor options which will impress for a place of any size. in particular thefrieswith truffle oil will make you quietly cry as you are overwhelmed by the musky infusion, while the pesto/aoili ones will bring uncontrollable smiles to your face during your entire dinner.
as far as other items go, here's a quick overview:
a) salads are unexpected for a burger joint but i sometimes come here just to get one. beautiful versions of cobb, garden, and greek.
b) above and beyond the call of duty for a burger place is the smoked pork and smoked brisket sandwiches. i have many of these types from around the country and have rarely been as impressed as these versions.
c) grilled chicken clucked its way deep into my heart, soups were like mom's.

as i understand it (and have tasted so far), everything on the menu is made in house: hummus, dressings, slaw, etc. this is one of the holy trinity for a restaurant's success..................okay you want to know: in-house prep, skill, fresh ingredients. all the rest is marketing. i could talk about the decor, the ambience, the new outdoor picnic area and mural, but really, do you care?! i'd eat sitting on the hood of my car if more places cared served food as skillfuly prepared and fairly priced as this.
get yourself to the (now called) big burger spot and support a great addition to the local cuisine.
