"Went in yesterday with my friend. First time we heard about this place and it was amazing. I’m not a burger girl at all and I left not one crumb on my plate lol. Burger was very tasty. Made to order and the ingredients fresh. The atmosphere was cozy that mom and pop feel. Customer service amazing all around from the time of placing the order until we finished eating and yapping. 10/10 recommend I’ll definitely be back again!"

"Stopped here for lunch on a whim and was very pleased. The tater tots and fries were well seasoned, hot, and crisp. The Josie sauce served as a dipping sauce was addictive and the burgers were some of the best I’ve had. The crunchy edges of the smashed burger, soft bun, fresh lettuce and Josie sauce is created perfection. The best part though was the service. The place is clean and well designed with a fun mural and the people were all super friendly and helpful! If you have room, they have tasty gelato and yummy salted chocolate chip cookies. Highly recommend!"

"Perfect addition to Williamsburg. This hidden gem also has a wall with a pay it forward option which I love! My husband, who loves burgers, is particular and enjoyed this burger. I got a chicken sandwich and we split tots. The Josie sauce is also on point! Can't wait to go back and support this small business! Highly recommend!"

"Absolutely loved my visit to Burgers on the Edge! The smash burger was phenomenal—perfectly seared, juicy, and packed with flavor. Go with the tots as well, crispy and delicious. You can really tell they take pride in what they serve. The service was outstanding as well; everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure guests had a great experience. There’s plenty of comfortable seating, and even had a steady flow of to-go orders during the busy lunch hour, the staff handled it effortlessly. The atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming, making it an easy place to kick back and enjoy a meal. Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the level of service. Overall, I was really impressed. This spot is a true gem in Williamsburg. I definitely recommend stopping by, and I’ll absolutely be back!"

"What a wonderful addition to Williamsburg’s EDGE District. Family owned & operated, and you know it by how they treat their team and guests. Fabulous food, nice local beer selection, and a chill place for a pop-in or pick-up. Don’t sleep on the breakfast burritos!"

"Fantastic. I was surprised how good it was. All the kids agreed. I got the jalapeño burger, they got the OG, kids burger, and kids tenders. They ate every last crumb. Prices are reasonable. Nice beer selection. Whatever they are doing they’re doing it right"

"We're from Tucson,AZ visiting family. We stopped into this local joint based on reviews. BotE did not disappoint. Kids both had double Pimp my Patty (build your own base burger) and wolfed them down. My wife had the Virginia Hot Chicken and was surprised at how much she liked it. I enjoyed the Nashville hot Chicken-not overly hot just well fried and seasoned with the right amount of spice. We had both fries and tots as sides. I preferred the tots over the fries, but both were crisp and hot and well seasoned. Their Josie sauce keeps you coming back for additional dips. Service was fast and we were checked on after our first few bites to ensure everything was good and to ask if we needed anything else. Overall, I'd highly recommend This spot of you're in the area and have a hankering for a well made smash burger or fried chicken sando."

"Burgers on the Edge is a fantastic find! I've been twice now and both times got the Bacon is my Jam burger on a gluten free bun and tater tots. The tots we're perfectly crispy and the burger...delicious! The GF bun did not fall apart and the flavors hit just right. As a celiac, I felt comfortable with their process and didn't get glutened. This is the only place I'll get a burger now!"
