"A barn-shaped Chevron in Dunwoody houses NFA Burger, a smashburger operation that always hovers at the top of our best burgers guide. They have a second outpost in Alpharetta with a large brick-and-mortar and bigger menu. At this OG location, the line is usually snaking around aisles of candy and chips by noon. And the red picnic tables out back fill up with people enjoying ATL’s famous “gas station burger.” Crispy-edged with a lacy halo spilling from a bouncy bun, all for under $7— it’s a burger that deserves the buzz." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
"After roaming pop-up NFA Burger opened its permanent digs inside a Dunwoody Chevron, it quickly gained a fanbase, its flowers, and the nickname "gas station burger." And we’re happy to report this burger joint is worth the hype. You can smell the burgers cooking the moment you pull up to the parking lot. The perfectly seasoned thin patties have a crunchy halo that peeks out from beneath a pillowy bun. Plus, a single patty burger runs you about $5 (a double is only $8), which only ups our love." - jacinta howard
"Open For: Lunch & Dinner (Closed Sunday & Mondays) Price Range: $ Short for “Not Fooling Around”, NFA Burger excels with a no-nonsense approach to a classic smash burger. Owner Billy Kramer uses a high-fat ground beef ratio to achieve an almost “lacy” burger that can magically be crispy and juicy cohesively. His classic offers two patties, melted American cheese, pickles, mustard, and a signature “sassy sauce,” all sandwiched between a soft potato bun. Fans can find his restaurant charmingly located inside a Chevron gas station in Dunwoody, and should also be on the lookout for his second location opening up in Alpharetta’s Avalon this May. Best For: no-nonsense, smash burger hidden in a gas station" - Michael Tran
"Atlanta has knighted a few white tablecloth burger giants, but our current obsession is grilled inside of a Chevron gas station. You can smell NFA Burgers—Atlanta’s famous gas station burger—cooking the moment you swerve into the parking lot. But this isn’t your typical grimy gas station, it’s a tidy barn-shaped building that looks like it was ripped from a scene in Charlotte’s Web. There are also picnic tables out back for you to inhale your perfectly seasoned burger with thin crunchy edges that peek out beneath pickles, melted cheese, and a pillowy bun." - team infatuation, carlo mantuano
"Started as a pop-up-turned-counter at a Dunwoody gas-station location, this chef-driven burger concept is known for viral, no-frills smash burgers and an obsessive attention to the math behind the recipe. The core offering is a simple double-patty smash with cheese, mustard, pickles and a secret “sassy sauce” sold for about $8, and a stadium outpost briefly served a three-count slider version for $14 across eight events. The operator decided to leave the ballpark to focus on opening his first full restaurant and bar, preferring the control of the original site over the logistical and licensing complexities of stadium operations, though he says the short-lived stadium experience was fun and memorable." - Henna Bakshi
