New Orleans’ Best Classic Burgers | Eater New Orleans

"This delicious smash burger pop-up grew into not one, but two locations: Uptown on Maple and in Metairie, at 805 Homestead Avenue behind Dr. Jones. Best known for the queso burger, which is gloriously gooey, there’s also the classic smashed patty topped with grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles, American cheese, and Nerd sauce. Make it a double or try an Impossible patty. Best for: Ordering the amazing queso sauce to-go, for later." - Beth D’Addono

Randomly discovered Burger Nerds this weekend and surprising liked it. The vibe here is cool, with regular tables and a little lounge area in the back. Plus we loved how they painted up the walls with characters from various video games. We were in a rush so only tried a few things The Chopped Chicken Wrap and a Classic Burger. The chicken wrap had perfectly marinated chicken with bell peppers and onions. And the classic burger was just a burger, but I loved how it was cooked a little charred on the outside, but keeping all the juices inside. For a quick bite to eat I recommend this place.

Not even gonna lie, this burger was WORTH IT. Had a double, beef patty was perfect, onions were on point, cheese was just the right amount of melty. I live in Lafayette and still think about that burger. Can't wait to get back. Great deco too if you are a retro kid raised in the 80s and 90s. Highly recommend checking them out, they are doing some good work!

I’m always looking for a great burger. I found one here. Had the 1/2 lb. pub burger. It was cooked to perfection. We also had fries (very good) and Brussel sprouts (yuck!). My wife likes them, but I really don’t, but these were actually pretty good, I ate more than a few. This is not a fancy place, but it’s clean and spacious. And the food was great. I only have one criticism: everything (burgers, fries, alien miniature space cabbage) was somewhat over salted.

Burger nerds is about to be apart of my routine. Pair the meal with a sit down and friends or take it home to watch Andor. This burger and the loaded fries goes with anything.

Today was me and my son’s first time visiting this establishment. I was beyond impressed. The magicians in the kitchen did their thing! Food came out fast hot and bursting with flavor. I had the 2 classic burger, queso fries with a side of Brussel sprouts and 2 fountain drinks. I spent $46 dollars, it was worth it! The service was great, friendly and inviting staff. Will definitely be back…

Super yummy food. Had the fries, classic burger and milk shake. Came out quick and delicious! What more can you ask for?

Not sure how this place was so highly rated TBH. Friendly and attentive staff, and interesting pop art, but the food was unremarkable. Patty was too salty, bun is the bare minimum. Fries were not salty, and a bit soggy. At $50 for two people, I expected more.

Good smash burgers, ok fries and a great milk shake!! Server was busy but capable. Atmosphere seemed like it had seen better days but bright and cheery murals with video game content.

Stumbled upon Burger Nerds this weekend and was pleasantly surprised. The vibe is great--laid-back with standard tables up front and a cozy little lounge area tucked in the back. One of the coolest touches? The walls are decked out with colorful characters from a variety of video games--super fun and nostalgic. We were in a bit of a rush, so we only got to try a couple of items: the Chopped Chicken Wrap and a Classic Burger. The chicken wrap was a standout--tender, well-marinated chicken with sautéed bell peppers and onions that packed a lot of flavor. The classic burger was simple but done right--nicely charred on the outside while staying juicy on the inside. If you're looking for a solid spot to grab a quick, satisfying bite, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out.

I ordered the single, dressed burger and a side of brussel sprouts. The dressing was tomato, lettuce, both cooked and raw onion, mayo and I think mustard. No ketchup. Pros: The burger was delicious. I think they probably choose and grind their own cuts of meat because it was definitely better than most hamburger places I've been to. They had a mix of caramelized and raw onion that elevated the flavor of the meat. The bun was soft, chewy and an excellent companion to the burger itself. The brussel sprouts were roasted to perfection. The vibe in the restaurant was relaxed. I felt like I could chill with friends for a couple of hours. The staff was very friendly and the pricing wasn't bad. It might seem expensive to some, but this isn't McDonald's and Five Guys is just as pricey for not as good of a burger. They had fountain Pepsi, yay! Cons: Inconsistent seasoning of the burger. Most of the burger was well seasoned, but I took a couple of bites of burger that were definitely oversalted. Over-saucing of the brussel sprouts. Way too much vinagrette and mayo on the sprouts. I couldn't finish my order. That was disappointing because the sprouts themselves were very well made. And I couldn't figure out whether I was expected to bus my own table, or leave my mess in place. Overall, I totally recommend. If you like burgers, you will definitely like this place. I hope they keep brussel sprouts, because that's such a great pairing, but tweak the recipe.

I attended one of the soft opening days, so I can't say what this will be like in the long run, but I can tell you about my experience so far. Everyone was super friendly and fun when I walked in. There is a variety of seating - bar, hightop, lower/regular seating, and bench. I was there right as they were opening so I chose a lower (and more comfortable to me) seat with my book. Order at the counter: a can of Pepsi product, a cheeseburger, and the Brussels sprouts. I could give or take the Pepsi. The cheeseburger was flavorful, but not much difference between this any other smash-type burger with cheese. I was most looking forward to the Brussels sprouts, so that's my focus. They are "Flash-fried & tossed in house spicy vinegar, topped with okonomi BBQ sauce, Kewpie mayo, & shizo furikake, and finished with crispy shallots." Overall, the flavor was so delicious, but after eating some, the tartness just got to be too much. I didn't want to take home leftovers because they wouldn't have the crispness left after reheating, but it was hard to finish them because of the pucker power after eating about half. Overall, I'm excited to have them in the neighborhood. I can't wait until they do a full launch!

I went at 1:30 in the afternoon and there was only one other patron when I entered. I followed directions on the sign and ordered at the register. The young lady that took my order and subsequently brought my food was really nice and when asked for her recommendation she suggested the Queso Burger which I had seen other reviews on already, most were good. The food arrived quickly, I chose the Brussels sprouts for a side, they were piping hot with crunchy French onions on top. The flavor was great and they were cooked to a tenderness that was good, and not over done. The burger......well I didn't take a photo because once I opened it, I got cheese on my fingers and so I thought I might as well take a bite before I wipe my hands, and I didn't put it back down until it was almost gone. Anyway that should tell you, it's a great burger. The venue is easy in and out, with decent music and a pleasing atmosphere.

It was my first visit so I always order my burger just as the chef prepares it. I had the single queso burger which had all sorts of stuff on it in addition to the Nerd sauce and the queso. I am not sure what it all was but it was delicious!!! We also had the Brussels sprouts and an order of fries. Both were excellent! The only criticism I would have is that they don't serve Coke products and they do need some more substantial napkins. The burger was awesome but it's juicy and skinny napkins don't do the trick. Still, the burger was great and I will definitely be back!

We waited an hour for our food because the cashier never informed us our food was ready after she asked me my name and told me to sit in the restaurant. Once I inquired about my order and received it, everything in the bag was cold, and the cashier blamed me for not doing her job. I then proceeded to leave and discovered my order was incomplete; now, I have to go back in to get my order correct. All the burgers we ordered were extremely salty and very disappointing. I had high hopes for this place, but I will not be back.

Burgers are so so good. Queso burger is a decadent treat but their classic smash is as good as it get, imo!
