Burger In the Square

First time dining here — definitely wont be my last! Food was awesome, fresh and tasty burger and the best hamburger bun ever!

I love these guys. Food is great, employees friendly and helpful. Best burger ever! Try the Brunswick Stew on a cold wintry day. Warms your tummy and lifts your spirit.

So I’m posting this after a few weeks of visiting. I needed to marinate on my experience. This is somewhat of an institution in Roanoke so we gave it a try.
The menu is jam packed with options, seemingly wonderful combinations. Definitely some really great ideas in theory. The problem lies in the patties and the buns. The patties lack flavor. There is no robust beef flavor to their meat. The buns are thick and dense, they actually take away from toppings and meat.
I’d suggest they revisit their bread supplier for a more suitable bun. And maybe rework the beef mix. There aren’t many more burger joints I town but I’d give Beamers a try if you want better quality.

Best burgers in Roanoke. Always hot, fresh, and juicy. The service is quick and the staff is friendly, and I’m never disappointed by the burgers or dogs. The only real problem is the size of the parking lot – it’s small, on a hill, and can get crowded on a good night. But for those who want a good burger, this is a place worth checking out, as they have a very nice variety of basic and fancier items at reasonable prices.

Our whole family loves Burger in the Square. Definitely the best burgers in Roanoke. The waffle fries are such a treat and the service is great.

Best Burgers in Roanoke County!!! I had the double cheese burger & wife had the Dreamer. Fresh beef & toppings. Will definitely return for the onion rings and more!

Every burger is the best burger. Fries are great. Can’t argue with the affordable prices for the great taste.

Great place for burgers! I had blue cheese and ranch on mine and it was great! I had waffle fries and cheese sauce and it was so good! This is the type of place where the same person who takes your order, cooks your food and delivers it too. Customer service was great and if I’m ever back in the area, I’d definitely go back. I’m a team of one and felt comfortable finding a table and sitting and eating. They have two TVs hung on the wall and everyone was very welcoming.
Thanks for the recommendation Unilocal

I am so glad I Unilocal burgers in Roanoke VA. This was one of the juiciest burger I have ever had. The roll was out Of this world don’t know what the roll was
Before but I don’t know now how it was better then the one they use. The service was awesome. Also you know it’s a good place when you are sitting eating and the the line expands almost out the door.
Thanks form the hospitality

Love going with the family to Burger in the Square. The food is always tasty and definitely a notch above some of the chain burger places in southwest county.

I just don’t get it. I really really wanted to like it. I tried a year ago and wasn’t impressed. Nothing has changed. Service was welcoming and efficient. My problem is that the burger is just OK. Nothing memorable. I guess I just don’t like the no seasoning approach. I do have to admit that the waffle fries were very good.
The biggest problem I had is that the place is just downright dirty. I understand the concept of old, run down facility, but this was just dirty. Big muddy areas on floor, trash littering floor, etc.
You can get a better burger at many places in Roanoke.

Sloppy, finger licking good burgers. If your conscious about calories or cholesterol, this is not your place. Love this place if you crave for a truly delicious burger.

Burgers are the best!!! Very tasty and fresh meat, waffle fries full of flavor and fresh too .
Need to improve the kids menu …
Definitely a good inexpensive place to stop for lunch.

Excellent burger joint.
A bit crowded and small space, even after trying to dodge the lunch crowd and arriving after 1PM, the place was packed. But worth it and not a problem.
I had the Bleu Cheeseburger with bacon and LTOM, combo with the waffle fries and soda. By the time I filled my soda a table opened up and I sat. The plate arrived and the burger was perfectly cooked and delicious and fresh. I think the quality and flavor of the beef was better then Five Guys and there’s a reason, this is fresh ground and hand pressed the day its cooked. Awesome flavor!
The toppings were all fresh and hand prepped and the bun was perfect for handling it’s contents. Delicious!
Highly recommend if you’re in Roanoke and want a great burger.

Probably some of the best cheeseburgers I have ever eaten. The hand ground beef really makes a difference here. The waffle fries are delicious as well. The burgers are not «over the top» and the prices are very reasonable. They have special cheese blends once in a while such as ghost pepper jack cheese or horseradish cheddar — both were fantastic. A simple restaurant putting out simple recipes that trounce many «fancy» restaurants.

Definitely lives up to the ratings in Unilocal!
Awesome Winter Bleu Burger and great waffle fries!
Skip the chains and come here !

Love the burgers. Clean and nice atmosphere. We live out of the area and ever time we come we make sure we visit yo have a good burger. Unilocal Star Rating
5 stars: I loved it. Will be back and bring others to try it.
4 stars: I liked it. Will be back and suggest others to give it a try.
3 stars: It was good. Will be back but there was something that wasn’t just right.
2 stars: It was okay. Would return if others wanted to but won’t drive far.
1 star: Will not be returning.

Customer service was ok. I was really excited to try this place since it had such good reviews on Unilocal,but was very disappointed. (Prices are higher than what the online menu has.) I ordered the mushroom and swiss burger, it was just your typical hamburger. The bun was soggy and the meat was nothing special. Five guys is a much better option. Waffle fries was good but nothing different than Chick-​filla-​a. Can’t say that I will come back.

OK — I stumbled upon this place by accident Décor was OK, ordering was so-​so. But my mouth went alive when I chomped on the burger. Oh my, this was an oral orgasmic expeience. Yep, no doubt about it, this was a serious burger with incredible taste. Yea, I like 5 guys, and the other places, but the taste of these burgers is an experience you will not want to miss.
What are you doing reading this review? Shut the computer and get yer back side in gear and experience a wonderful burger. Perhaps the best ever!

Likely to be the best burger on our 17 day road trip. I got a BBQ burger with onions and lettuce, and it was fantastic. Waffle fries also excellent. No way any other burger joint in the area is anywhere near this good.
Thanks Unilocalers.
