Atomic Burger

The restaurant is kinda dirty and wasn’t busy. Kiosk self order. I got a classic slider and it was good, definitely not the best I’ve had but still tasty. The menu has a decent amount of options. I really enjoyed the fries, crispy and fresh. I do like the slider packs that you can mix and match different kinds. The shakes are $6.50, and are served not even all the way full ;( not to mention it was dripping all on the side of cup, the Nutella marshmallow was delicious, the salted caramel was just plain. I would not go out my way to come here again

I had the mushroom and Swiss burger, a side of fries with spicy ketchup and a strawberry milkshake. The spicy ketchup tasted like someone spit in it. It was horrendous. No joke. This ruined my visit. I’ll never return. Oh, and the place is filthy.

The food is normally great, but last night we got there at 9:30 and we knew they were about to close. So we started ordering at the kiosk, we were about to pay when the employee walked up and said she'll take out orders. We told her it's too late and we're about to pay. She said it'll be much faster with her, and that's where the problems stared. She gave us an ugly face and walked away. The burgers were fine, but the fries were trash. All the little bits that get burnt or the ones that stay at the back of the Fri bin. I thought there were red skin potatoes. To top it off, we get out cups, and there's nonice in the machine, so we asked for some. She continued with the faces but I don't care when people do that. We get the drinks and they are flat. We asked for drinks from the drive through drink machine and she told us it's the same and no has complained yet. I showed her the coke and pointed out it had zero bubbles. So she get us our drinks and it was the same. She then said "well once they are poured the carbonation doesn't last long" I could have laughed in her face when she said that. I wasn't mad even when she saw us walking out and pointed at us clapping if to me finally you're leaves. I did get pist when I saw the fries

Went through the drive through and ordered two burgers and a fry. When given the bag, one burger was upside down and the fries were all over the bottom of the bag. The bottom of the bag was so greasy from the upside down burger and fries it was falling apart.

The food was really good. The Arnold Palmer does not exist if you eat in. We were told that the sweet tea and fountain minute maid lemonade were what were supposed to make them with. That was highly disappointing. I hope that's not what they give out at the window if you order take out! I would return to try more stuff on the menu. I had jamburger and atomic sliders and two was enough with fries and a drink to fill me up. Mind you I ordered 4 thinking I would eat at least 3.

These burgers were delicious. My kids loved the box of burgers. And the fries were so good!

Everything was delicious, however every table was dirty. Burgers were as close to perfect as you could hope for. Fries were crisp and perfect. The milkshakes amazing thick and flavorful. Just a little sad, the tables, drink machines well the dining room was generally sticky and crumb covered.

Hands down the best burger I've had in the area! The sliders are great, and an exceptional value! I've spent more at McDonalds and wasn't nearly as satisfied! I'll be back more! Thank you

This is one of my burger spots in the city when I'm craving a delicious burger. I wouldn't consider it fast food because the food is always cooked hot and fresh to order. The order turn around is also pretty fast you may wait 5 mins, but you can't beat that for cooked to order food. This time around I ordered the Atomic Burger with a side of fries and spicy ketchup. The burger comes with two patties and is fully dressed with their special sauce. The burger was well seasoned and so juicy. The fries were hot and crispy and paired just right with the spicy ketchup which wasn't that spicy at all.

Best sliders in the area! Love the fact that you can mix and match them in a combo. There may be a bit of a wait in drive-thru but the inside moves at a quicker pace. The drinks are self-serving and they offer an array of sauces. The fries are always fresh and the milkshakes come highly recommended. The dining area is a decent size but the parking lot is on the smaller size. There's kiosks and cashiers to assist with ordering. All in all a damn good burger spot!

Best burger ever! I don't come here often but when I do I enjoy every bite! I love their jam burger & atomic as well. I love their chicken sandwich too & side of sauces as well to dip my fries. The milkshakes are so good too! The service is always great! Coming back every chance I get!

It's been over two years since I ate here. Don't know how that happened because it is an amazing atomic burger with turkey meat substituted at no charge. Love it

First time here , was service cold slider hamburgers.. very disappointing when I had to wait over 5 to 10 minutes in the drive thru. Just to be served cold food. Love the seasoning on the burgers. I'm sure it would have been a great experience if served hot.. It's a big no for me.

The milkshake was excellent but I ordered all my sliders with no mayo and they were all covered in mayo so I was unable to eat them.

Went here on a Wednesday. Not much business but great burgers and great service. Staff was nice, attentive, and very accommodating. I had the chicken sandwich and the mushroom burger. I knew I'd like the mushroom bc I'm a sucker for mushroom. Chicken sandwich was mid tbh. Something was def missing like seasoning or a better sauce. I also tried the jam burger which was also yummy.

I was in the area and needed lunch. I had never been to Atomic Burger but had heard from a friend that it was worth a try. I ordered the Beyond Burger substitute and a side of edamame, no drink. My total for those two items was $16! The burger was very average- better than at a McDonalds per say but not worth the $12 I paid for it. It wasn't a huge burger either. The restaurant itself was clean and the staff were friendly enough. The edamame was a nice surprise, I've never seen edamame offered at a burger joint.

This place is a shadow of its former self, yet according to the website, this location in particular still serves as the chain's "Flagship". I would encourage ownership to look up what that term means, as it falls comedically short on all fronts. 1) The big liquid nitrogen fueled shake machine that was the centerpiece of the restaurant is not only broken, but appears to have become just a dusty old decoration piece at the center of the restaurant with absolutely no indication that there's any effort to repair it. That used to be THE reason you'd come to the place, and the burgers were a nice plus. I didn't mind paying 50% more for a milkshake there because it was worth it. But now, a soft serve ice cream machine has been placed on the counter obstructing the once-working nitrogen machine, and they're making shakes with that. Y'know, just how McDonald's and Burger King do. But they're still charging 50% more. For what exactly? IDK. 2) The logo on the wall is literally peeling off. This is the "Flagship" location and they can't even care to keep the logo looking nice. It's literally the core piece of marketing in the place (along with the nitrogen machine) and they can't even ensure it looks nice. It's a reflection of the brand, and that reflection, like the brand, is falling apart. 3) IDK if the building has settled, but the bathroom doors don't close without slamming them shut. God forbid someone of meager strength, such as a child or something, has to use the bathroom alone, they may be able to get the doors to close, but opening them is a different story. I'm a big dude, and even that was a chore. 4) The French fries they serve are just little scubbles. Not a single French fry longer than an inch in either order we received. Sure, maybe I could have complained and gotten a better order, but there's got to be a manager back there watching this stuff go out and thinking that's perfectly ok to serve someone paying $20 for a burger lunch. The fact that they allow such poor quality to go out and not blink an eye speaks larger volumes about the brand. I honestly waited to share this review, I did reach out privately on their website and never had anyone else reach out. So yeah, "A shadow of its former self". Go to Five Guys.

No idea why this place is not packed & a line outside. The Green Chile Burger is my favorite but I get the sliders so I can eat a few others. The fries are super crispy outside and tender inside, perfect in my opinion. The shakes are delicious as well. I suggest getting a few sliders so you can try a few different burgers since they are all unique if you are new to Atomic.

Came here because my son wanted a burger and also wanted to try this place out since we've never been here before. I can say they left a good impression on us which the burgers and fries were good and fresh. Not many burgers to choose from which is ok because it just makes it easier for me to choose what I want. Seating area was pretty straight forward like any burger shack, but at least clean. Staff always asked for assistance when needed, so service was good. Would definitely come back for another burger if i'm near by.

I walked in and was not greeted right away. In fact the person I think might have been the manager was on his phone not paying attention at all. However, Justice did take my order and she was great. She told me her top three burgers and what she would put on them. So I ended up getting the Atomic burger with bacon, and made it a combo. The burger was really good, this particular one came with AB sauce which had a spice to it. Burgers taste homemade and not frozen. The fires were also really good! The only reason for the four stars was the service that was initially provided when I walked into the building. I would definitely eat here again, but would order at the drive through instead.

5 star shakes. Glad I ordered it. I had it for lunch. My bestie has raved about this place for years. I ordered atomic burger dressed no mustard or cheese. I got the thinnest burger I ever had in a bun with pickles. No lettuce tomato or onion. I wondered if I had pissed someone off with my order! Fries were hot but mushy. Not to my liking. If it had not been raining I would have let the management know but they got the review instead.

I love this place. Happy to drive to Metairie. Veterans even. To enjoy these wonderful burgers. And fries. And edamame!!! And Italian spring water! Haven't been inside but the drive through service is excellent. This is the very best of fast food.

Ordered online thru Door Dash around 8 at night. Burger and fries were cold. Burger was unusually small and the fries were all little pieces. Most were like an inch long. Very disappointed. Will never order from there again.

This is THE best fast food burger in the entire world!!! It's a freaking bomb on your tastebuds! An Atomic one! My ex sugar momma turned me onto this beast...wish she was still buying! Like edamame?! Shoooooot that's on the menu too! Delicious, yummy, I could keep going but I gotta eat more! Peace out foodies!!

Terrible. Never in a million years will I spend money at this place. I had high hopes based on other reviews. Smoke was so bad inside I had to take whole family outside. We sit outside in the hot sun because every table is taken. I asked for someone to help me tilt the umbrella to block it. I am told the owner will not allow them to touch the umbrellas or they will get in trouble. So, we baked until a cloud finally blocked the sun. Order was wrong. I sent back. It never came back. Even after a polite employee came out and asked how to remake burger, Waited 30 minutes, and it never made it back out. Went back in and no one knew what I was talking about. They also left a fries off my order- no big deal but the meal never came out. So my family ate, I did not. $50 for small, thin burgers. I make better burgers at home and I venture to say a Sonic burger rivaled what I saw, even though theirs is not even fresh. What a terrible experience. I went back in and asked for a refund. We struggled to get that done; allegedly, I was refunded. Expect a chargeback on my credit card if it doesn't get refunded. We had to leave and the order still never made it out an hour into the visit. Fail. What a joke. The only thing atomic about this business is how it bombed the customer experience and satisfaction. We will never return, and I will advise others to stay clear.

I had only recently tried Atomic Burger for the first time, but I have to admit they have me hooked! It's a real treat to get a burger from here. They are hot and freshly cooked every time I have stopped by. They are so much better than the chain restaurants and for the few extra dollars it costs it's totally worth it. Every item I've gotten any item, from the burger to the fries to the milkshakes are all exceptionally good. The service is also exceptional. They are friendly and kind and it's refreshing to be greeted with happy workers. I'd highly recommend Atomic Burger if you are looking for a great experience and are in the mood for a great burger!

They have a great chili dog their burgers and sliders are top notch we love it. Bacon jam burger ricks

Very good. Similar to shake shack. Little cheaper. I like the soft bun too, goes well with the burger and absorbs the sauce.

Just had the worst experience there. Person taking my order was so rude and just decided to have an attitude and then stopped taking my order and forced me to drive through without ordering food. Decided to go down the street to a different establishment with good customer service and way less attitude.

I mean... it's fine. Food is good but it's hella $$$ for what it is. The restaurant was gross. Oily fingerprint covered touch screen to order. No one takes your order (but then they want you to tip?) cmon big corp! Pay your workers a living wage!

Food is good as always, veggie atomic burger, instead of fries I opt for the edamame and they were seasoned well. Wish there were nondairy milkshake options.

The service at this place is so ridiculous and it's ridiculous because the employees are ridiculous you walk in there's nobody at the counter. I know they can hear you walking in. I said excuse me three times no one ever acknowledged me then the girl comes and asked me am I picking up for someone? Yeah I am. I give her the name she kind of like flings it to me. You need to retrain these people you need to retrain these people

If you're craving a delicious, juicy burger, Atomic Burger in Metairie LA is a must-visit spot! The burgers are cooked to perfection and come with a variety of tasty toppings to choose from. I got the lettuce wrap burger! They can also substitute fries for edamame. The fries are also fantastic - crispy and perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere is fun and casual, with a cool retro vibe, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Plus, the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. Overall, Atomic Burger is a great spot for a satisfying and delicious meal that won't break the bank.

Delicious fries and smoothies tho burger patties could be seasoned a little more! I recommend!

My sisters & I went to Atomic Burger, Metairie for the very 1st time the day after Christmas 2023! It was great! Delicious food, clean restaurant & outstanding service!! I have to rave over Tiffany, the #1 employee at Atomic burger in Metairie! Tiffany went well beyond her job description to help me out & I will always remember her for her kindness!! She has made a true Atomic Burger fan out of us & we will be back! THANK YOU TIFFANY & Atomic Burger! Appreciate y'all, Linda

Ordered Atomic burger medium rare and got two criminally over cooked patties that were totally devoid of any moisture. I would rate this as the worst hamburger ever!

I came here specifically for a mushroom swiss burger and it was not the best. It was medium-medium well and not like I'd prefer. It also was bland and tasteless. I think if they'd put a little seasoning on it, it'll taste much better. Food can definitely be seasoned without salt but most places do not incorporate any herbs to build a good flavor profile. I mean, a dash of Mrs. Dash won't hurt. That said, I'll go back and try a different burger and request it to be seasoned and well done and update review accordingly :/

Atomic Burger is sooo good and yet I feel like people don't know about it. I got the Jamburger with fries and truffle mayo. The drive through service was just fine and fast. Let's talk about that jamburger. The patty was perfectly cooked but the bacon and onion jam was the star of the show. A great added texture and sweetness it will be different from your average burger, no doubt. These are some of my favorite fries too. And they had such a good selection of dips. This time I went with truffle mayo, but they also had siracha mayo and roasted garlic aioli, like c'mon that's outstanding! They also have your classic milkshakes which is a great addition to this meal. If you're in Metairie or nearby, you can't go wrong with a stop at Atomic Burger.

YUM YUM YUM! Support local and grab this burger/chicken sammie from Atomic Burger! They offer boxes of sliders too which is enough for me. I love the chicken sandwich!! And their sauces are amazing! The fries are so good too. They are like duck fat fries. The grease doesn't even spread on the bag which means there isn't much!! I can't wait to go back and try more items like the bacon jam and different versions of the burger!!

This is now my new favorite burger joint. Their meats are ground in house daily! They offer different sauces such as garlic mayo and AB sauce. The burgers were juicy and taste so good. We order the atomic burger and some sliders. One of the opt for sliders was the jamburger. It had bacon and onion jam on it and that's where I feel in love lol. So yummy! Fries are fresh hand cut. I'll definitely be back for and to try out their shakes!! The restaurant looks like a chain place but it's actually locally own with another location in Baton Rouge.

Delicious burger that melts in your mouth. Try the one with green chilies! Fries are always fresh and crispy, staff here has always been on point. Perfect little dining area for a quick lunch/dinner! Possibly the best burger in Metairie. 98/100 Pretty much a perfect score from me, I don't give hundos. Well done!

Super solid Burger joint! We ended up here after failing to find parking around the quarter lol. This Burger was awesome. Very well seasoned and a great size. The fries were hot and fresh hand cut. There's 5 or 6 sauces to choose from as well. This is one of the best restaurant burgers I've had in a while.

Great burgers! Fast service. The food has never disappointed. If you're looking for a burger with good quality and creative shakes, this is a great place for you to try. I appreciate that their products are different- despite being another fast food restaurant.

This is my first review in a while and the first draft was longer (just had words backed up into my fingers, I guess), so I edited. Here's the short version. The Order: Hot Dog Kids Meal, Mushroom Swiss Burger, Green Chile Burger, Fries, BBQ sauce, Spicy Ketchup, AB Sauce, Sriracha Mayo, Truffle Mayo, Roasted Garlic Aioli, Fountain Drink, Salted Caramel Milkshake. The Taste: The Hot Dog was legitimately good, which surprised me and made me happy when I ended up eating it because my son decided he didn't want his hot dog. Mushroom Swiss and Green Chile Burgers were BOTH delicious. I've only ever had one mushroom burger that I liked more, and I have to drive 40 miles to get it, so score. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the chile burger. The Green Chiles were mild, but had a robust--not overwhelming--flavor that I actually preferred over the Mushroom Swiss. While the flavors were great, I'm dinging the burgers for execution and presentation--they were greasy and the buns were smashed. I expect a lot more from an $8 burger. The fries were average. Skin-on, which I like, a little crispy, well-salted, but somehow not particularly stand-out. Fries I like better: Red Robin steak fries, Rally's, Wendy's, and Luke's duck-fat fries. Atomic's fries aren't bad, they just aren't particularly good. BBQ sauce is Sweet Baby Ray's so it's reliable if sweet. Spicy Ketchup, Sriracha Mayo, and AB sauce were the favorites at our table. Truffle Mayo and Roasted Garlic Aioli just tasted like weird mayo to the person in our group who actually grew up in Belgium, where mayo is the standard condiment for fries. Coke products in the fountain. Salted Caramel Milkshake was THICK and DELISH; that's going on the list of cravable eats. The Price: $40. Kinda pricey for two burger combos, a kids' meal, and a shake. The Facility: Circa 1950s-inspired industrial design. Not particularly anything, but ok. Tables were ALL dirty. There were three other groups dining in when we sat down. Their tables looked dirty. All the other tables were dirty. I went to the bathroom, got a wet paper towel, got a dry paper towel, and got to work. On the upside, the mens' room was clean, though DIMLY lit. Two high-chairs of differing heights were available to accommodate the rugrats. There's an outdoor dining area for those who wish to imbibe in the exhaust fumes from Vets Blvd. The Service: Good, not great--definitely fast CASUAL. There's a self-serve station available for orders. The soda fountain was clean, but only had lids for the large cups. The Bottom Line: Not my favorite place to get a burger--pricey for a fast casual place where I have to wipe down my own table--but it's ok. It's gonna be a while before I come back for a burger or fries, but I'll probably be back for a milkshake before that.

I'm really getting tired of ordering food from places and constantly getting stale ass fries that clearly were cooked hours ago. I placed an UBER Eats order @ 7:47pm and received it by 8:34pm. There is no way my food should be cold; my food was not freshly made. Like why would you give somebody that because you're too lazy to make fresh food. But they want to make $15 an hour ‍

Wonderful burga and fwies. Wondaful shakes. Yum yummy delicious thank you Mr atomic burger.

Indoor dining has returned to Atomic Burger after about a year. I came to Atomic Burger after maybe about a 3-5 year drought from the place. For some reason, I remembered them for having high prices when really, that's not the case at all. My slider trio meal, fries, drink + fiancee's burger, fry, and drink only came up to about $22. That's cheaper than other options like Mooyah and Five Guys. As for the food itself, it's pretty good. Is it the best burger I've ever had? No. But it was worth the price. I had the Jamburger, Green Chile burger, and Atomic burger slider trio. All 3 were good with the green chile being my favorite. That jamburger packs a bit of a punch! I did not have any shakes, and am sad to see they don't utilize their high tech shake machine anymore which was suppose to be one of their gimmicks, so I'll have to come back and see how the shakes are because they hype their shakes a lot. All in all, I enjoyed myself at Atomic. The staff was good and nice. I also vlogged my experience here as I continue my quest for the best burger in New Orleans! You can check it out at https://youtu.be/ZDR2boj3V0g.

I loved the Beyond Stack here. Many places don't cook veggie burgers well, but Atomic Burger does an excellent job. I usually get my burger with the edamame, and hubby gets his with the fries. I can truly say that the fries are so freaking good. Every once in a while, we will indulge in those delicious shakes. The cookie and cream is my favorite. Each time we have had excellent customer service especially pre- COVID19. I used to love going in because it was always clean, and the workers are nice. I will say that this place is on the expensive side, but it is worth it.

Hands down best fries in the city. WOWWWW. Perfectly cooked with that perfect crunch. UGHH SO GOOD. I like the truffle Mayo, but they have a nice variety of sauces you can choose from. Consider me a regular now

My friend and I wanted to try a new burger spot so we picked Atomic Burger. We decided to go in and order our food. It was pretty empty and looked clean! We ordered: Turkey Burger & Mushroom n' Swiss with fries and a drink. They fixed our food in a timely manner and were very helpful in helping us elect our meals. We got our order to go. The presentation of the food was subpar, reminded me of White Castle lol The food was just okay. Wasn't really "fresh" like we've gotten from other burger places. My friend ended up getting sick after. So much for that!

So we did get some sticker shock rolling up the speaker to order. I had no idea the burgers/combos here were so pricey but I have to say, after biting into my jamburger (you read that right) and tasting their fresh cut French fries with truffle aioli (!!!!) I was hooked. This could definitely be a once in a while splurge; $28 for two burger combos was a little much. Everything was being made fresh to order which I always appreciate but that did make the drive-thru experience a little slow. It was a solid meal and I'd get it again next time I'm shopping on that side of Vets.

One of the Worst food experience in my life! Food was not good!! Customer service was horrible from the manager! And the ambiance wasn't that great, once you take a look at the back in the kitchen area, I was shocked at the uncleanness of the area. I only No this because I had to go up to the area of the counter where the cashier wasn't standing to see the mess, we just toss our food and left!

Where is the beef? The beef patty super thin and the fries were too small and scrappy.. will not go back with such high price burgers and paper thin beef

Delicious burgers-- smash burger style but honestly Better flavor. Loved the variety of sauces available. Garlic aioli was my favorite. Filling, freshly made and fast service. Drive thru is kind of dark but overall definitely a place we will revisit when in the area.

The atomic burger slider is delicious. I see why it's their namesake. Why mess with perfection? The bacon jam slider was unpleasant. I didn't like the flavor of it oddly enough (cause bacon is wonderful). I ended up inhaling the bacon jam slider so I could savor the atomic burger slider a bit more. The hand cut fries are wonderful. Salted perfectly. I had a full sized atomic burger and a milkshake on a subsequent visit. Burger tasty as expected. Shake was a bit too sweet for my liking. Overall it'll definitely be a place I'll look forward to visiting in the future

HONESTLY! I've been living here my whole life and I was just driving around the area and I decided to go get a burger from a place I've never tried & it was 9/10!! Burgers were amazing however the fries were cooked a little too long, you can definitely tell they were homemade as well. The green Chile burger is my recommendation if you like spicy things because of the poblano peppers. And the atomic burger is good for a regular burger with the special AB sauce. I recommend this place, good service, good food. ( didn't go inside )

I went here last year and it was amazing. The burger looked almost exactly like the ad. Crisp lettuce, big slices of tomato, nice juicy burger. I also got the milkshake combo. Not TODAY. Sad looking burger with a few strips of iceberg lettuce and burnt fries. The milkshake was grainy as if it was on its way to becoming butter. I paid too much for a burger that looks like it came from Mcdonald's.

I thoroughly enjoyed my burger! This is a really nice fast-food spot for burgers. I'm definitely not a McDonalds or Burger King type of girl, so I am glad this place exists. It's almost like the faster version of Five Guys although Five Guys' burgers are a bit better. My fries were a little on the greasy side and "choppy." It was almost as if I got the last of the fries in the pack. LOL. Nonetheless, I could tell that they are normally tasty. Oh, and the pickles....yuck. But, they are easy to take off, so the burger did not lose any value there.
