Z-Burger

Solid three and a half star place. The shakes are awesome, and the food is good, but sometimes they screw up your order. Not a huge deal if you’re dining in, but if you take out, you’re probably not coming back for your correct order. Also, the cashiers can be rude sometimes. I’d say to try it, definitely go for a shake, but check your order before leaving.

I came in to avoid the cold for a bit longer and orodered a single burger. It was mediocre, yet more expensive than the other burger joints in the area. The burger was a bit bland.

I’ve been here several times I gave him 5 stars because where else can you get as many toppings as you want just about for one price my friends love the burgers I don’t eat beef but their chicken sub is fantastic for the price the fries are fresh hand cut right there they have great soda machines the decors updated the restrooms are always clean the food is fresh and hot and sometimes worth the wait

Food is delicious. Always has been. Atmosphere is cool. But each of the past few times I’ve been here, the space outside both at the entrance area and parking lot had street litter and food parts scattered about. I know that this place is busy but appearances count even at the street level. I’m sure good hard earned money was spent on putting on a cool face. It’s hard to have their ‘experience’ if you see litter. They really need to sweep up every hour or so. I have even mentioned this at times– just to say it was there (figuring that any employee or mgr would be aware anyway), but each time no one actually did anything. My visits by the way we’re not at busy times. Just the opposite. Missed the 5 star rating on that one issue.

Z-​Burger has gone downhill recently.
Z-​Burger has so much potential. And for a time, I was a fan. But lately, my experience has been not so great. They have gotten the order wrong the past three times we have been there, which stinks because we do carry out. By the time we get home and realize the order is messed up, it’s too late to come back. Three times I have paid for an onion ring on top of my burger; three times, it has been missing. And that’s the least of it – they have gotten the order wrong repeatedly. We just can’t open up the entire order before we leave the restaurant to check each and every burger to see whether it is correct. That’s just dumb.
Tonight was the end. It was crazy-​crowded, to be sure, as they had a special on. But when we got our order home — after an hour of waiting — three out of four burgers were wrong. The Turkey Burger was replaced with Beef and had cheese and nothing else on it. My husband’s burger had all the wrong toppings on it, including grilled onions, which he really loathes. And my burger? It had cheese on it (I don’t eat beef with cheese), it was burnt to a crisp on the outside and red on the inside, and… wait for it… missing the onion ring which we once again paid extra for.
My husband was so annoyed after waiting for an hour for burgers that were all wrong, we have now declared we will no longer go there. We had the most unpleasant dinner. Bummer, as I really liked the place for awhile. Z-​Burger, you are driving us away.

I went here for lunch one day while attending a short course at nearby GMU. I had a hamburger and their seasoned fries. I had their standard toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickle) and added jalepenos. I enjoyed the hamburger; it was cooked just right. I thought there was too much lettuce; it made the bread slippery and was mostly the white core rather than the better tasting green leaf part of the lettuce. The seasoned fries were good but I would have liked the seasoning to have been more pronounced. They have one of the Coca-​Cola soft drink machines that allows a large selection of fountain soft drinks. This was my first visit to a Z-​Burger. Based on this experience I would return to this location and be willing try other Z-​Burger convenient locations.

I’m probably feeling more 3.5, but I’m feeling generous today and rounding up. I like this place — not an all-​encompassing love. Like. Try it, though. They make a decent burger.
On one hand, this has the feel of a Five Guys knock-​off (including price point). On the other hand, I can eat one of their burgers without feeling disgusted with myself afterwards (not that there’s anything wrong with that). It seems both the burgers and fries come slightly smaller here than aforementioned chain and that actually works out really well. It’s not health food, but I don’t feel a heart attack is imminent upon finishing a meal, even with an occasional milkshake (drool…). The fries are fine and I almost always get them. It’s been a while since I’ve been bowled over by a deep-​fried piece of potato and theirs have not broken that spell.
I haven’t had their cheesesteaks, so I have nothing to say about those. I know I’m not in or near Philadelphia, so I don’t want to anger myself by trying. I just can’t.
Staff’s been ok, free wifi while you wait, and there’s a little bit of parking. Since «my» Five Guys (with ample parking) closed down while I was living out of the area, this has been my replacement burger joint — since there’s nothing aside from MickeyDs really in walking distance of my place.

This is the only Z-​burger I’ve ever been to. I’ve been to the VA Square location probably 5 or 6 times since living in Arlington.
I typically tend to gravitate towards Z-​Burger more because it makes me feel less gross than if I eat Five Guys. I will say I don’t think it’s as good as Five Guys — espeically the fries. The service here can also tend to be sort of slow sometimes.
One big point for Z-​Burger though is that since they have a parking lot, it’s easier to access than a Five Guys. Service is generally very good here as well!

Looking for a new burgers to try out and I decided to give Z burger a try. I love how many smoothie flavors you can choose from. I got a single cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, ketchup, A1 sauce, and fried onions. The Banana Oreo smoothie was good. I love how the establishment is set up. Will definitely be back

Holy crap. Never have I ever tried a veggie burger until now… and let me tell you I was blown away. Just a rush of different flavor a in each bite. I’m usually a turkey burger kinda girl but Z burgers turkey burgers aren’t my favorite.
The reason for the three stars is bc I asked for light mayo and light chipotle mayo. Whoever placed the sauces on the burger obviously didn’t get the «light» memo. After wiping some of the mayo off I was really able to enjoy the veggie burger.

Z Burger is really a fantastic burger joint. The burgers are cooked very well and come with stellar toppings. The Philly Cheesesteak was phenomenal and delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very upscale and modern, it’s a very interesting design. The place is clean and well maintained. The staff are friendly and outgoing. The only negative is parking is a real problem… barely any spots and a giant pole in the middle of the parking lot. Also, the milkshakes are a bit pricey but besides that a wonderful establishment.
I will definitely return to Z Burger! Well deserved five stars! Fantastic!

Z Burger…“not really” grilled to perfection… sorry!
If you’re hungry and want to spend $ 4.29 — $ 8.19 on a burger, then be my guest. If you add fries, you’re looking at $ 8 — $ 14 bucks for both. Milkshakes are $ 4.75. Sorta pricey for a milkshake in my honest opinion.
I ordered the bacon cheeseburger, cooked well done with all the traditional toppings which includes, mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles, fried onions (more like sauteed), sauteed mushrooms, ketchup, mustard. I got everything except for the mushrooms.
Service was quick and polite. Burger was sort of tough, not tender, lacked flavor. The bacon was way too thick and chewy. I really had to chew sorta hard which was distracting actually. Veggies were fresh and plentiful. I asked for a side of the chipotle mayo, which was tasty and had a spicy kick to it.
They have a huge range of milkshakes, but its sorta bogus. They start with vanilla or chocolate ice cream and add flavored syrups… I guess it works.
They also serve hot dogs and Philly Cheesesteaks.
Clean dining area, very open not cramped, red and silver stools and counter tops. Has a modern diner feel to it. Pop music/​top 40 playing overhead.
Will I return??? Not for the burger. I prefer Five Guys or Mike’s in Springfield for a juicy burger. However, I plan to try the cheesesteak the next time.

Burgers are commonplace these days. Seems there’s a new burger place sprouting up everywhere you go. Z Burger seems to offer a better burger for the money. Your burger is thoroughly cooked to order and topped with fresh ingredients of your choice. Good selection of sandwiches to include cheesesteaks, chicken sandwiches and more. The fries are steal the show as they are fresh, seasoned and perfectly crispy. Bring a friend — the fries are enough for two but if tempted, the fries are tasty enough to be devoured by one!
You must indulge in a shake as you can knock yourself out with the many flavor combinations. There is no favorite as there are simply too many flavors to choose from. This definitely sets Z Burger apart from the other burger joints.

Add another notch in my belt… more so to let my pants out because if I ate here on any semi-​regular basis I would look more like Buddha and his gloriously rotund belly.
I have been meaning to try Z-​Burger out for awhile now and I finally discovered that they had opened up one near my work, I immediately made a trip to try them out. Im gonna forgo any comparison to other burger joints in the area because I think all places have their own spin on things to make them unique.
That being said, I think this place has an amazingly great burger that rivals any other burger place around. The burgers are perfectly cooked, with the right amount of add-on’s and they are priced fairly cheap.
Im always in the mood for a good burger and this place has me craving them more and more when Im passing by.
I also need to come back to try their other menu items. The cheesesteaks sounded fantastic and looked really good from what I could tell so ill have to give that a whirl.
Just go put it in your mouth… I need not say more.

My go-​too after bar food in the area. I visit friends often right near here, and I was surprised at the quality at Z-​burger, I was expecting it to be just another typical crappy burger joint.
The interior reminds me of Pizza Planet from Toy story, its very clean and bright.
As for the food, everything I have tried has been good! I like both the burger and the cheese steak, if you get the fries get them seasoned and ask for some z-​sauce.
There are so many different flavors of shakes I could never try them all, but they are thick and creamy and delicious.
You should definitely stop here after going to the bars in Claredon!

I really wanted to like this burger joint but it was pretty meh. The burger didn’t really have a taste, they slathered on way too many condiments further impeding said taste, and the concrete was some of the worst custard I have ever eaten (and I have eaten plenty). The fries/​onion rings combo — good idea in theory, poor idea in execution. The batter on the onion rings was very mushy despite having just come out of the fryer. The fries had the same cut of Five Guys but none of the taste.
Price point: $ 20 for a single bacon cheeseburger, half and half fries/​onion rings combo, and a strawberry banana concrete. That’s a LOT of money for meh food.
Oh — the unisex bathrooms are horrible. I hate this trend. It needs to go away.
Shake Shack does this so much better.

Went here late night after touring the bars in DC. The place was about to close but they still let us in. I got a loaded burger and an order of fries with their zee sauce. The burger was good, nothing special. The fries however, were delicious. Just writing this is making me hungry. The zee sauce was a little sweet according to my memory, but nice and creamy.
They should bring one to jersey!

Mmm Delicious Black Bean Veggie Burgers with fries, onion rings and a shake. Yes i probably gained 2000 calories just thinking about it but wow its delicious!
They have over a 100 different flavors for shakes… don’t think you’ll find that at any other burger joint. Been here many many times especially since they are open very late night on weekends. As long as you don’t mind dealing with folks who have consumed higher than average alcoholic beverages, yes, watch out for the drunks.
Who doesn’t like a nice juicy burger with fries and onion rings after a night of hardcore partying, it’s either that or pizza. Regardless of all that, very friendly staff and they keep it very clean. They have outdoor seating available as well.
So far i’ve tried about 7 different shake flavors…93 to go. YUP! See you soon Z-​Burger!

About a 3.5…
I find it really hard to find a casual burger spot. You know, a place that’s just maybe a level or two above a McDonalds but obviously a step down from a gourmet burger you’d get at a sit down restaurant paying $ 15+ for a burger.
And due to recent experiences, Shake Shack unfortunately just gets worse and worse.
First, everyone reach for those Groupons! It doesn’t hurt to have you try it while getting back a couple bucks. Here are a couple of the things I did and didnt like:
— The Cheeseburger: I’m a fan. You’re obviously not going to get Grade A Angus Beef, but it’s juicy enough to curb that burger craving for $ 5!
— The Philly Chicken Sandwich: Another one that I’m a fan of. They can get this on whole wheat and is pretty flavorful.
— The Turkey Burger: Just get the cheeseburger
— The Philly Cheesesteak: Just get the Philly Chicken Sandwich
— Fries and Onion Rings: Good but eat it ASAP.
Swear that I didn’t eat all of that in one stop! Got it over a couple visits and split a couple of them through a couple days. Swear! :)
And all the folks at Z-​Burger are really nice; great customer service! Thanks Z!

Uhmmm… Sorry, it’s okay! But, when I want to step to the bad side… I really want to ride dirrrrtay!
Today was my cheat day and I really wanted to clog my arteries by «going-​in» on a greasy, doubled stacked burger with extra bacon, cheese and the works. Not to mention a large order of fries… and gargle it all down with a milkshake! Well, let’s just put it this way… my cheat day was bummed.
I have been on the fence about this place for some time now. Since its opening, I have made several visits to this particular Z Burger due to its proximity to my workplace and the occasional peer-​pressure of team lunches with the coworkers! You know what I mean… the kind of lunches where you don’t always want to be around your coworkers for your only break in the day… but somehow get dragged along! LOL
Well, needless to say and to my dismay after several visits… the verdict is in: Certified — NOT «Hittin’ n’ Stickin’!»
The burgers here are just not all that! Filling… Yes…Looks good… Yes…Taste & Flavah… No! On this day, I ordered the Z Burger loaded with standard toppings, milkshake and a order of fries. First, my burger was prepared well and stacked just how I like it, but it lacked that…“WOW!” factor. Maybe it was because of the unseasoned burger or perhaps the lackluster, untoasted bun… whatever the case may be… something was missing. The salt and pepper was clearly playing hide and seek on me! The same goes for the steak and cheese sandwich. I have tried both items; several times… to only leave Z Burger with a stuffed-​potbelly stomach, the need for over-​time at the gym and an unsatiated feeling! And, believe me… I’m easy to satisfy me when it comes to good, greasy food.
Frankly speaking, Mario’s Pizza House across the street is more my style when it comes to good, greasy food or rewarding yourself on a cheat day! You know… a place where the grease and dried up seasonings have been on the griddle since the 80’s…and all that goodness gets all up in your food! LOL
In all, the burger eats (including cheesesteaks) at Z Burger are just okay. It lacks the depth of flavor and is quite bland for my taste. The fries, on the other hand have good flavor but it tends to need to be spiked with malt vinegar and ketchup. The portions are generous, the toppings are very fresh, and the price-​point is fare. Just know that it pretty much is like Five Guys in my opinion. And, I have the same sentiments regarding the burgers at Five Guys too. The only differentiation from Z Burger vs. Five Guys comes in the form of additional menu items — like cheesesteaks, onion rings and about 50+ different milkshakes, with flavors ranging from Rocky Road… Birthday Cake to Peanut Butter & Jelly.
While I don’t care for the Z Burger or Cheesesteak, I am a fan of two items :
** The Half n’ Half — Fries and Onion Ring combination. For some extra flavor, add the Malt Vinegar or try dipping them in the Z Sauce, which is essentially a hybrid of Russian dressing and remoulade sauce.
** The Krispy Kreme Shake — It’s the bizzzness… and delicious! Add Mellow-​Yellow Peach soda (from the self-​serve machine. lol). It taste like a ice cream float! Heaven!
Unfortunately, these two items will not complete a meal. Taste wise, this place does not really stand out on its own compared to local burger joints in the area. Although Z Burger is not quite my «go-​to» burger place, the customer service is always great. During each visit the customer service has been courteous and satisfactory.
Would I come back??? Maybe. Only if… I get dragged on the occasional peer-​pressure team lunch with the coworkers!
