Best semi-gourmet burger places in NoVa? (self.nova)

So far my go-to places are Hangry Burger in Springfield and the Big Buns Damn Good Burger spots. I'm kind of a fan of those brioche buns with the seared logo and all the fancy toppings that make you end up spending $20 on a burger. Any other recs?

They're really really good, they make the buns fresh in-house, and the taste of the burgers is so good.

I haven't been there in a while, mostly because I'm (ineffectively) trying to watch my weight, but whenever I want a nice burger, I go straight to them.

Only downside of Melt is because they're so popular, there's always a bit of a wait. But I do like how they also partner with animal shelters and put up posters of different animals up for adoption.

Whoa thats dedication making buns in-house. Will have to try this place for certain now. And yeah I'm with ya on that diet plan.

Pro-tip - if you donate a pint of blood it's equal to 600 calories to replace. And there's a blood shortage for O and A type rn in this area. 😉 That's at least half a burger for "free".

Interesting to know the caloric hit for donating! I have a rare blood type (O-) so I tend to donate double reds rather than whole blood. I wonder if that affects it differently.

But yeah, I try to donate whenever I can since O- seems to always be low for this area.

And yeah, it's really good, I love that place! Just a heads up though, if you order fries, they take the Five Guys approach and give you a large platter full of fries, so I'd definitely recommend splitting it with someone if you're able!
