Iconic gastropub known for its famous double-stack cheeseburger
"You should stop by this casually upscale restaurant at Colony Square for a quiet work lunch or for dinner at the wood-paneled, amber-lit bar. But no matter when you come, the thing to get at Holeman & Finch is the burger. The beef patties (ground daily) are slightly charred and sit between soft, housemade buns with melty cheese and pickles. This juicy patty ranked high on our best burgers list, and the salty, crispy hand cut fries are the perfect companion to the sandwich." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
"To the joy of everyone who appreciates elevated comfort food, Holeman & Finch found a home at Colony Square in 2023 after its beloved Buckhead location closed in 2020. With its memento-filled, dark-wooded dining area, H & F is the kind of warm environment where you can dress up or play down in nice sweats and enjoy your meal either way. The lightly fried Carolina flounder pairs brilliantly with roasted potatoes. And as ATL diners have come to expect from the brand, the double-patty cheeseburger is still a gooey revelation on a toasted bun." - demarco williams, nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"For close to a decade, Holeman & Finch has been the burger of the A. Available in the Braves stadium, Ponce City Market, Mercedes Benz Stadium, and this upscale Colony Square flagship, the H&F burger is an always reliable, always accessible go-to. The beef patties (which are ground daily) barely need chewing, and they're just charred enough to give it some texture without carrying the overwhelming flavor of the grill. With a soft, housemade bun, gooey cheese, and tangy pickles, it's the quintessential burger—just done really, really well." - jacinta howard
"As long as Linton and Gina Hopkins continue to offer iterations of this iconic smash burger in Atlanta, it will almost always find a spot on a best burger list. What originally started as a limited, late-night offering has since grown with H&F Burger restaurants in Ponce City Market as well as Truist Park and Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Their namesake gastropub, Holeman & Finch, serves arguably the best version of this burger made from griddled beef patties using a blend of fresh brisket and chuck topped with American cheese, red onions, pickles, and house-made ketchup sandwiched between a butter-toasted pan de mie bun. Best for: Atlanta’s original fancy smash burger" - Michael Tran
"Every legend has an origin story. Holeman & Finch’s began in Atlanta’s Buckhead in 2008, when each night at the stroke of 10pm, just 24 burgers could be found sizzling on the grill. Word spread, which led to stakeouts and Spartan-level battles to win a taste of their double patty cheeseburger. Nowadays, the burger is available all day—and the rest of the menu isn’t just participation-trophy fodder. The steak tartare and a creamy spaghetti carbonara peppered with bits of guanciale are good enough for return visits. Verdict: The small menu doesn't miss, burger or no burger." - bryan kim, team infatuation, molly fitzpatrick, garrett snyder, candis mclean, john ringor, bryan kim, aimee rizzo, juli horsford, julia chen 1
