I normally don’t eat burgers because I’m gluten free. Saw another review said they had great tasting gluten free buns. I gave it a go. Holy smokes. When that thing came out, I was stunned. It smelled heavenly, was gigantic. (Double chicken breast w added pickles and mushrooms.) Prices are incredible for the value. Chicken was well seasoned, and yes, the gluten free bread was the best I’ve had at a restaurant. Bun stayed together as it was eaten. Best burger experience I’ve ever had.

8/10 but I would recommend. I love the set up at this restaurant because they have multiple protein options for any of their signature burgers. I got the Tru Patty Melt with a Turkey patty with fries and it was delicious. I didn’t like the fries as much. My total for everything was $13 which is pretty affordable. The cashier was super polite and brought my food out to me. If you don’t eat beef this is a good spot to still get a good burger. The restaurant is located on Oak street so street parking could be a bit of a challenge.

The best burger we've had! You can customize any burger with lots of different options! Delicious! Plus Friendly service! We've been to this place several times since!! Always delicious!

Outstanding! Better than any other burgers in the vicinity BY FAR! The regular burger AND the veggie burgers are DELICIOUS. Seriously. Just try it & I'll say I told you so now 😉. All fresh, so hot, employees so nice. Every time I've gone it's been consistently good. Thank you!

No pictures of the food because we devoured it! My girlfriend wanted a burger and I recommended this place because I’ve picked up orders for Uber Eats and the staff seemed friendly. We got The Mississippi, The Tru, small fries, and a strawberry milkshake. 10 out of 10, would highly recommend! Everything is fresh made to order. Hot food and ice cold milkshakes with fruit! Plus the lady that helped us gave us a quick run down of the sauces on our burgers. Get the Tru!

Stopped here for lunch today. Had a Truth Burger and chilli chese fries. The Burger was seasoned and delicious. I didnt care for the chilli on the fries.. Also had a rootbeer float which was delicious. My wife had the Uptown burger. Also very delicious. The Onion rings are to die for. Seasoned and battered to perfect.

I had a delicious burger, shake, and fries. Condiments were on the table and water and soda was self serve. The hostess was helpful with suggestions and answered my questions nicely. The burger was fresh and handmade to order. I asked for a medium cook, and it came with a warm pink center so it was perfect! A large fry was enough for two and my chocolate shake was hand mixed and it came with chocolate syrup on the cup and on top. Sweet and delicious. The bathroom was clean. The parking was hit or miss, so be prepared. Wonderful spot and I will visit again.

One of the better burgers I've had in the city. Had a tru's patty melt with sauteed mushrooms and bacon. Onions rings are crisp and the vanilla milkshake is smooth. Plan to be here an extra hour so you don't wobble too much on the way out.

I WENT HERE TO SPECIFICALLY COMPARE IT WITH COMPANY BURGER. When I walked in it was empty, it reminded me more of a failing business rather than a popping popular busy burger joint. I ordered and got some of the sauces, about 16$ for a 2 patty burger with arugula and small onion rings. The onion rings were alright, they were priced reasonably but not something I'd waste money on again. The burger was actually good. I enjoyed the quality of the meat more than the company burger but it still felt low quality and cheap. I prefer company burger

Casual eatery on Oak Street. The burgers are delicious and are made to order! My personal favorite is the Uptown Burger, which comes with goat cheese and roasted Roma tomatoes. If that doesn't sound appealing, just try it! Don't forget the side order of onion rings. I swear these are the best I've had. The service is typically quick.

Nice employees and great burgers. They need to add fried pickles to the menu as the ones on our burgers were fantastic.

Everything is good here loveeee this place uptown, Mississippi, and the Charlie are my faves! And love the fries

Stopped in for lunch today with wife and daughter. I got the Mississippi, wife got a Patty Melt on a gluten free bun, and daughter did a build your own beef burger with 2 Patties with America Cheese, Bacon, and a Fried Egg. I also ordered onion rings and Jalapeño Poppers. They ordered some French fries. Of course I had to grab an Oreo Milkshake. Everything was excellent, food came out fast and was very filling. Lady that took our order and brought us our food was extremely polite and accommodating. Some of the best Jalapeño Poppers I've had in a very long time. One thing that stood out to me was I asked the burger to be cooked medium and my daughter wanted hers medium well. Normally when you request medium and medium well together well they both come medium well. Mine came out perfectly medium as requested. I highly recommend!

I love this place! For the last 5 years, I have been going to Tru Burger whenever I crave for a burger. Their burgers are well made, great quality, and their price is cheaper to most other burger places around this area. The place usually is not packed with people, so it has been a spot for me to retreat to during lunchtime. The ambience here (imo) really gives off old school American burger place like in movies. The bgm is not loud. It doesn't take longer than 15' to receive your order.

The Food, the service, and ambulance is the best. I had the build your own burger with there own Gluten Free bun. I go there 3 time a week.

Best chocolate milkshake I've had in a while. Service was very friendly and my patty melt was delish!

I have returned to this place multiple times and am always so pleased with the service, quality of food, and ambiance! The people working are always so so kind, the standout menu item is definitely the milkshakes!! mint chocolate is my new favorite definitely go try it out

My wife had the Mississippi burger, the fried pickles were absolutely amazing on it and the special sauce was great. I had the heat, which was my favorite had jalapeños and Sriracha mayo. Super delicious. The chili trees fries were so good the chili on it could definitely be its own side. I recommend this place and will be back for more!!!!

Food was overpriced, Crappy fries that tasted like they came from a bag and the milkshakes are just vanilla with syrup inside. For being the only burger and milkshake place around I should be better. Also the wait for only a couple milkshakes and fries was so long even though it was empty. Steer clear when your on oak street.

I've been here a few times before and always left unimpressed. But I came again today to give it another try since I hear they are under new management. And wow. So much better. Uptown burger - this burger was so good! My bf ordered it medium, but I normally like it medium rare. So of course I thought it could have been a little juicier. It was topped with garlic mayo, roasted tomatoes, arugula, and goat cheese. That combo! Everything just melded together perfectly. Such a good burger. Chicken burger - I wish I could say as much good things about this burger. The chicken was cut thick and a little dry. It came with some type of dressing and fried onions. I loved the fried onions, but I think it needs more veggies or something to it. Cheese fries - melted cheddar on top of hand cut French fries. I also ordered a side of chili since I don't like my fries soggy. These fries were so good. They weren't shoe string fries, but they were cut pretty thin, which made is soooo super crunchy. Even with the cheese melted on top. And it's a pretty good size.

I am giving 5 stars to Tru Burger for a few reasons. Great and friendly service, fresh angus burgers, and lastly the very best milkshakes I have ever had. You can order the burgers how you want, I recommend medium rare if you want medium and they are nice and thick with fresh bread. Only criticism is their fries were a little on the not as fresh as you want side but I really like this place. These are can't miss milkshakes, exactly how I like them. I appreciate them staying in business during and after the pandemic. Thank you Tru Burger!

Delicious!! I thought the food was so great and so did my friends. I went during Mardi Gras.

Tru Burger on Oak St is a stellar, family-owned burger joint that deserves your attention. In addition to burgers they have wings, shakes, hand dipped corn dogs and more sides/apps. It's casual/counter service, a laid back space, and the service is friendly and inviting. The next time you're craving a delicious burger give them a go.

Best hamburger we have ever eaten. Truly. I had the patty melt the first one I've eaten in years and is everything I could ever possibly have dreamed of in a hamburger. Juicy and Rich. The beef was deliciously cooked the fries were perfect and the chocolate shake was to die for handmade. What a gem in the garden district.

I had a craving for a good burger so I stopped here and they did not disappoint! The ingredients were fresh,the bun was buttery and toasted,fries and onion rings were hot. The burgers were delicious! Social distancing was maintained and the staff disinfected each table after the customer left. I have no complaints at all! I'll definitely be back!

Came here with some friends last night after reading some hyped-up reviews about their shakes. The place itself was pretty empty at 8 on a Thursday; I believe not many people know it exists. The inside is a-okay - simplistic but trendy design. Service was a little slow with two workers (considering the lack of people), but the staff seemed friendly. The shakes themselves were mouth-watering. My friends got an oreo and a vanilla shake, and I went for the mint chocolate. What's cool about this place is their relatively minimalist, no-frills menu. The shakes followed in the same vein: simple, tasty, good quality. We will definitely be returning for more and will try their burgers (they have veggie options!!), at which point I will write an updated review.

For sure, the beet/vegetarian burger beats any other vegetarian burger I've ever had before! (You see what I did there lol). You have option of swapping out the beef patty for a vegetarian one made of beets. It's a thick (at least one inch thick) patty, and comes with tomatoes, lettuce, and onions. You can build your own and add toppings like grilled onions or jalapeños for 50 cents more or add toppings like avocado! They also have speciality burgers with cool and unique combos. I ordered the Deep South burger that comes with pimento cheese, lettuce, fried green tomatoes and onions. I swapped the cheese for jalapeños and got grilled onions instead of raw onion. They also make sriracha mayo, and I put that on my burger. The burger is so filling! I was full after eating half of my burger and fries (but I still ate the whole thing). You have the choice of shoestring fries or steak fries. The burger isn't served with fries, so you have to order it separately. Everything was perfect! I wish I had tried their milkshakes, but I had no room. The setup isn't anything special, but they have a high counter that faces the sidewalk and is at the window, so that's nice! Please note: it's on Oak street so parking sucks. And the food does take a little while to cook. It wasn't as fast as I expected it to be.

I was in the mood for a real burger and stumbled across Tru Burger. My burger was so fresh and tasty. The staff was so friendly and talkative. A great selection on the menu to try. If you are looking for a really good burger I highly recommend trying Tru Burger. I will definitely be visiting this spot again.

Review for delivery order. They really knocked it out of the park. Burgers are enormous (tall and wide) and delicious. Had a double Mississippi. Onion rings are great. Jalapeno poppers were the best I've ever had. Not sure if they are making them in-house but they tasted fresh on the inside and were actually spicy. My only note is that the small-cut fries could have been cooked a little longer to help them survive the steam from being boxed for the ride. Have ordered from here twice and both times were much better than expected.

This used to be my favorite burger place in the city. Burgers were always so delicious. After new management, not so much. Burgers are always well done and dry. They do still ask if medium is ok, but your burger isn't coming anywhere close to medium. Also, the Fest sodas are gone as well. Those were so good. I really miss the good old days

I feel like NOLA offers a burger shop on every other street. While Tru Burger was recommended to us I don't think I would recommend it to you. We picked up a lunch order on a Friday afternoon. Phone service was pretty meh, the woman on the phone didn't really listen as well as she should have. We only live about five minutes away but by the time we got home the burgers were cold and dry and the fries were extremely soggy. I knew with ordering to go our food wasn't going to be piping hot like the restaurant; but the styrofoam containers that Tru Burger uses are horrible for transporting hot food- and horrible for the environment- just saying. We also ordered a grilled cheese which was just two buns turned inside out causing way too much bread on the inside- I suggest you pass on ordering one. To top it off they were out of ice cream and weren't able to make shakes. I was disappointed in our visit and like I said above, check out another burger place.

So many unique choices of burgers. I love bringing my friends here when we spend time in the city, not only because they get a student discount (Tulane and Loyola) but because it's on a fantastic street and really fills you up. Not to mention their very indulgent shakes. I recommend just parking on a street adjacent to Oak - never had problems doing that.

I didn't care for the beet patty that they offered as their veggie burger. I thought the fries would've been better if they didn't have so much salt on them. I don't think there will be a second run for me at this place.

Got the blu burger with jalapeños instead of mushrooms, was really good, but macdonalds bun which sucks, have to try different bun next time. The setup was kind of 60s diner, minimalistic sort of vibe

Great burger the young lady will ask if medium is okay just say yes it was well but juicy! I had the Mississippi burger by suggestion and it was great 4 out of 5 burger was not cooked as I ordered it.

I used to love this place several years ago, but it has lost any charm it used to have. The service was terrible, the food was disappointing, and the atmosphere was dirty and run down. They have completely changed the quality of their burgers and fries, and are clearly using frozen pre-packed food products now. Photos online still depict the old hand cut fries, but those seem to be gone. After waiting 30 minutes I was served unseasoned soggy fries alongside an unseasoned, burnt, dry burger. It was completely bland and uninteresting. Paying $15 for the meal was the most disappointing part. I will recommend any other burger place in New Orleans before Tru Burger. I will not be going back.

Hands down one of the best burger and fry experiences I've ever had. Hand formed patties cooked to your specification, friendly, and quick service. If this has not been franchised, I have a feeling it will be in the future.

Great service. Low key one of the best burger joints in the city. Delicious burgers and don't leave without getting a milkshake. It's a must!

Today is a sad day for me. A day I must admit defeat. I've been defending Tru Burger for quite sometime, but after lunch today, I can no longer. If I were to have eaten there I would have complained about a few things, but I got take out. 1) no bacon ??? Can't one of the four employees smokin and jokin run to the store ??? Where's the manager making command decisions about some bacon ??? One guy even came up to ask about bacon on his burger and one of the ladies said there is no bacon today, but they were happy to charge him the Buck fifty. Communication other than joking around is non existent. 2) I ordered a double burger with cheddar cheese, not a single slider. The pics speak for themselves, can't even fill the bun. The tomato is actually larger than the burger, thanks. Hmmm, not even sure where to begin with the lettuce 3) the cooks spent more time pulling up there britches than cooking, probably too busy pulling instead of pattying a regular size burger. 4) one actual pro.... They had mayonnaise for the half cooked onion rings. Sadly the standards are gone. Hopefully the owners take a couple minutes to let this marinade. You won me over Company Burger. I can no longer defend Tru Burger.

Pretty decent burgers at a fair price. Fries were just so so. Awesome milk shakes. Nice ladies running the place. Pretty basic restaurant. Not one for a romantic date. :-) Cold tea however no hot tea. Clean.

If you're in the mood for a fresh, grilled burger or hot dog then you've found the place. Burgers starting at $7 but more like $9 with what you really want on it,.... I had The Charlie (Swiss, bacon, coleslaw) and added fried onion strings - DELICIOUS :0) The table next to me got a hot dog with chili, relish and cheese which looked amazing as well. Fries are crispy, shoestring style which I loved as well. They also sell shakes and malts (maybe next time;0) All in all a great place for a great, quick meal.

Best burger place in NOLA!! it's so laid back and chill and the food was amazing. I got the Uptown burger and my boyfriend got a Build Your Own with a side of large fries. The fries were crispy and perfect. Ugh, will be coming back regularly. Hopefully they have milkshakes next time.

This is the worst place I've ever been to when it comes to the service I got no notice of the time it would take. She kept telling me mine was coming but it took 47 minutes... again, it took 47 minutes. I timed it. I had 1 Charlie burger. Pathetic

The burgers are delicious, a little pricey for a burger but you get what you pay for. The cheese fries were also delicious. I believe the onion rings would be better if purple onions were used. My wife also ordered a cookies and creme shake before we left and finished it before we got to the car.

I really want this place to be good, as I frequent happy hour and the bars on Oak, and I would have loved a nice quick place to grab some food. Unfortunately after several visits and giving it several chances I can't see ever going back again. Way too overpriced for what it is and the decor looks like they just ripped it off a 5 Guys Burger. On my last visit my burger and bun just disintegrated and crumbled apart as I attempted to eat it and they were completely out of iced tea. The place was also nearly deserted on my last visit but all the tables were covered in trash. They actually want tips even though it is exactly like any other fast food burger joint and they don't provide any "service." Bud's Broiler is better. They might be able to redeem themselves with some major work but it will take something major to get me back in here as Camilla Grill is a far better and cheaper burger of the same type and nearby GB's is far superior.

SIDES DON'T COME WITH? WTF? Truburger is an incredibly uneven experience. So do your homework and do an Elite sort to navigate through the menu. My few recommendations: 1. Call-In Or Go Off Peak - because the wait at the counter is glacial. 2. Spend The Extra $2 & Order A Double - because the singles aren't filling. 3. Get The Onion Rings Not The Fries - because the fries are shoestrings that when overcooked are inedible. Alternately, the onion rings are thick and house battered.

Update 28 March 2013: There appears to be no quality control in the kitchen. I haven't been here in months and when I go back they serve me the worst onion rings I've ever seen. How could they serve me a fist full of greasy onion rings with some half assed batter! (see photo) My order was to go so I didn't realize till I got home. They were unedible! I wanted to bring them back and throw a fit. But what's the use. I quit Truburger based on this experience and my previous experience. They now have 1 star instead of 3. Ba BYE. I like Tru Burger. I like it because they offer a veggie burger. Now, here's a place where I can take the the vegan-ish wife and not have to worry about her just having a salad or french fries. So we go there about once a month. I have the burger with cheese and sauteed onions: Simple. Classic. Tasty. I tell them well done because they have the tendency to under cook them. The french fries are big enough to share so we just get one and split it.. They are the stringy/curley kind with skins on and can be a bit soggy/wimpy depending on the day. So I'm happy. The wife is happy. Until the last time. And it could be the last time for the wife. The veggie burger made her sick. So sick she has sworn off and cursed Tru Burger. What can I say? (head shake shoulder shrug stupid lip contortion)

Went there tonight for the first time. We had the patty melt which was a special and a regular burger and both were so good! The onion rings were good too! Not that fake, frozen onion rings. ALSO! The best part was the Oreo Malt and Shake that we got! To die for! My husband ordered a chicken sandwich, which they ended up being out of chicken, so he just ordered the burger. The super nice guy who worked the register made a shake for my husband as an apology for being out of the chicken! How nice is that!? We will definitely be back.

Great taste! The burger and fries were cooked well (really loved the shoestring fries) and the milkshakes were quite tasty. Minus star for the service and overall price. The hostess made me feel badly for not knowing the menu well (that all sides were a la carte), that I wanted a well done burger, and finally that I wanted a gluten free bun- but was ok with fries (they are exposed to cross contamination in the frier). I wanted to ask her just to slow down and be a bit more nice. I'm not actually allergic to gluten, but appreciate her telling us about the cross contamination in case we were. However, I don't really need the added, "Oh, so you're not really gluten free then *scoff.*" after I still wanted the fries. Be careful, the add-ons really add-up! With 2x burgers, 1 order of small fries, and 2x milkshakes - we paid $33 prior to tip! Oi. In my mind, that meal shouldn't cost that much... Would consider going back again since I know how to order now. But there's other places with great burgers where the service matches the food a bit more.

Their veggie burger was delicious!! Best one I've had so far. It was almost bright purple because of the beets. I tried to ask for it wrapped in lettuce though and the lady told me they'd only be able to put the lettuce on the side which I thought was strange so I just got the bun. Also their fries were those shoe-string fries and they were delicious! Would definitely come back here again!

This is a cute little burger joint on Oak St. Its menu is limited, as the name would indicate, to burgers and a few sides. They even have a veggie burger options which I didn't try. We had the single burger with cheese. It's a fine $5 burger. They are on the thin side, but I love the topping options. I had swiss cheese, sauteed onions with the gluten-free bun for $1 extra. It was really good and totally worth it! I loved the thin fresh-cut fries, I wish mine had been a little crispier. I would try it again.

A burger is a burger is a burger. Oh contrare readers with big derrières. Here you can make your own burgers to spice things up or simplify it down. They also have a few good choices of set burgers. I chose the uptown burger which was goat cheese and arugula which I must say was a good combo it tastes fresh and savory. Their fries however comes in only two sizes. Too small or too big. Which I would advise to go with neither and instead get a milkshake. Milkshake was the highlight of the lunch. Their strawberry milkshake had actual strawberries in it. Very whole flavored. I would go there just for the shakes. Well worth the cheap price of $3.50. By the end I had a huge pile of fries but my shake was licked clean. Hey you're lactose intolerant that's right the shake was that good! Highly recommend: the strawberry milkshake (duh!)

Tru Burger is a welcome addition to the casual restaurant scene in Uptowns Oak Street neighborhood. Serving well made, tasty hamburgers and hot dogs with a special "Tru" sauce and other fixings, including bacon, various cheeses, chili and sauteed onions, at a reasonable additional cost. The "Tru" sauce was a deliciously semi spicy BBQ tasting dipping or slathering sauce, depending on ones mood. Tru Burger also provides its patrons "real" Coke and other Mexican sodas, made of course, with actual sugar, no high fructose corn syrup here. Other drink options, such as Saratoga Springs fizzy and flat bottled waters are available as well, a real plus that they are presented in glass bottles and not plastic. Service is prompt and courteous, the decor is a little mixed, with industrial Edison style bulbs which hang a little too high over over the counter, metal stools which compliment the metal door frame of the kitchen and comfortable, yet oddly mismatched chairs (to those at the counter) and long benches built against the wall. The stained glass partitions, while nice, are somewhat of a style distraction, as they don't blend well with the part industrial, part laid back decor of the wooden chairs. My only objection is the use of Styrofoam containers, which can take up to 1 million year to decompose, for the in house dining hot dogs and plastic condiment cups, which given how quickly they are used, should be made of compostable paper.

Burgers are one of those foods where everyone is very opinionated on the best way to make it. Personally I like a thinner burger cooked medium. I'm so sick of 1/3 lb, 1/2 lb or even bigger. That's not a burger! That's a meatloaf sammich! Burgers should only be cooked 1 of 2 ways; on a charcoal grill or on a hot ass griddle. Truburger meets all of my expectations of a burger. They are thinner patties with just a touch of pink on the inside and cooked on a hot ass griddle. The cheese is melted on top and it's placed on a small bun that is soft on one side and grilled on the other. Perfect! Lately burger buns seem to have too much bread. I had "The Truth". It's a burger with swiss, a few fried onion strips and Tru sauce. So good. The large order of fries is enough for 3 or 4 people and are fresh cut. They only lightly salt them which I prefer. They also have really good milkshakes with straws that are the size of a garden hose so as not to get chunks stuck. The only issue is their spelling. I am no linguist and border line grammatically retarded but I can spell "True". Duh!

This place has a lot of potential, but I think there are still some kinks to be worked out. On the whole though, I had an enjoyable experience. The burgers here are certainly good. Their house sauce is kinda weird though. And I feel that their burgers should come with a side included, rather than charging extra for fries or onion rings. I tried their onion rings and they were ok, but not great and certainly no plentiful. For an extra two dollars, I was expecting a lot more. The onion rings here aren't beer battered, as all good onion rings should be, but rather I felt these were more along the line of onion strings, with a thin, flaky batter that is a tad salty. Thankfully they were not bad, but they were disappointing for having to pay extra. Also, I'm told this place is in the process of getting its liquor license so it can serve beer. For a place that has been open since summer of 2011, I feel like it's not on top of its game. Not that a burger joint needs to serve beer - I don't care either way personally - but to intend to serve beer and not have your license months after opening, well, something is up with management. Finally, there seems to be a lot of discussion about the fact that the burgers here are cooked medium unless otherwise requested. I like to see how the establishment I'm eating at thinks things should be prepared, and I'm not put off by a medium burger. The quality of the patty seemed fine to me and the burger was pretty good. Medium cooked is fine.

This burger place is pretty decent. I heard some people say that the burgers were really greasy but I didn't find this to be true. I did feel a bit rushed while I'm ordering - I was debate no between The Heat, Tru Blue, The Charlie, and The Deep South. I opted for The Heat and fries (even through I wish I got the jalapeño poppers instead) and an iced tea. Now, I know people buy off brand sugar substitutes but -seriously - if I want to poison by body with Splenda or Equal offering me some off brand sweeter in the same color packet isn't the same. The burger was a decent size and the small fries was more than I could eat.

Consistently great burgers served with a smile by super friendly staff in an extremely clean space. The buns are always perfectly toasted and the toppings are fresh. The veggie burger is made with beets and you won't miss the beef at all. The thin cut fries are always crispy and hot. The super thick milkshakes are super yummy. Hands down one of the best burger restaurants in the city.
