Nothing was particularly amiss with our large order. In fact, I'll say we ordered about 10 burgers, all different, and they were all correct, so there's that! As for the burger itself.. It was fine! But nothing blew me away. I appreciate the edamame option in place of fries if you're into that. There seem to be plenty of these 'backyard gourmet' meets fast food type burger joints popping up. I wouldn't count this one as my favorite read more

I was very pleasantly surprised by the burgers at Atomic. They're made to order and I know this for a fact because I waited forever in the drive-thru. If I had to compare it to something, I would say the burgers almost remind me of Shake Shack but much meatier. The fries were also very good- thick and freshly fried and crispy. And if you check in on Yelp, you get a free slider if your choice (which I didn't realize until after I left). Until next time, Atomic.. read more

Absolutely delicious food!!! I love going here. The mushroom burger is my absolute favorite. There fries are also amazing. They never last the drive home. Wish they came in bigger sizes. But everything they have is so good. Great now I'm going there for supper. Lol made myself hungry. read more

I got a burger on Sunday and had to go back on Tuesday. In my opinion best burger in New Orleans. Both were fresh.

Definitely been on my bucket list after seeing Atomic Burger being listed as one of the top burgers in the country. It was a great burger...awesome bread, and great quality meat. Was very impressed. As well, the truffle mayo was superb. I would have given Atomic Burger the 5th star had it not been for the cleanliness of the place. The chairs looked like they never get a good wipe down. I didn't see one table get wiped down after use the entire dining time I was there. Worrisome. Makes you wonder what the kitchen and bathroom look like at that point. read more

Atomic Burger - Mushroom Swiss Burger - Fast Food Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Had it for the first time and was not disappointed. I ordered the atomic burger with no cheese, added bbq sauce. My boyfriend loves milk shakes, so he had gotten one mixed (chocolate and vanilla). That burger was relatively cheap and not greasy. It was delicious, but more than delicious!!! The price was nice. The portion of fries are incredible. A small portion can be split between 2 people. All in all. I wish I had taken a picture but it was so good I started to dig in. read more

I really like this place! There are four types of burgers and they are all good. My personal favorite is the Jamburger. It's got a sweet bacon jam on top of a beef patty with a soft buttered bun. There are two sizes of fries and each order comes with a dipping sauce. The fries are crispy and seasoned well. The garlic aioli is fantastic. The service quality is always great and the restaurant is clean. I've been here 2 times already and expect a third visit soon! read more

one time i went here on accident but it was the best decision i've ever made on accident. i usually get the nashville fried hot chicken, absolutely amazing. i have tears in my eyes when eating that sandwich every single time because of how good it is. the fries are pretty mid but they have good dipping sauces. the garlic aioli and spicy ketchup are the best tbh. i tried the turkey burger one time just to switch it up. absolutely amazing. i ate in 2 minutes i didnt even breathe while eating i had to digest it right then and there. the shakes are good too. good stuff read more

Absolutely the best burger I've ever had in my life, as well as the best fries, hands down. Burger perfection. The pickles really stand out. I'm kind of a "pickle snob" when it comes to burgers and the pickles here are amazing. Perfectly steamed bun, fresh veggies, I can't find a single complaint about the food or the service. Thank god I don't live anywhere near this place, I'd be broke and overweight. read more

Definitely worth the try - we got the Atomic burger and the mushroom Swiss , both were great. Also enjoyed some fries and a cookies and cream shake. Pretty cool to see them use the nitrous to make the shake read more

Atomic Burger - Menu - Fast Food Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Can be a little pricey for the burgers but amazing fries & burgers. Haven't tried the shakes but they look good, I just can't seem to find room after those burgers & fries read more

The burgers are fresh. The shakes are very good. The fries are great. The service is on point. What's not to like about this place?

One of my favorite burgers ever!! The buns are so soft, the meat tender and juicy, and toppings are fresh. I always get the bacon jam burger which blows my mind. They also have the best fries!! Tried the vanilla milkshake and that was just ok...not very creamy or flavorful. Also I don't like the pickles bc they are homemade and I feel they don't "pickle" them long enough...they are on the hard side and still taste more like cucumbers vs pickles. Customer service is wonderful bc last month they forgot two of our fries. The next time we came, they gave us three fries on the house to make up for it. read more

I eat at Atomic a LOT. Like...a lot. Like I know the menu by heart. But every time, what keeps me from recommending it to people is the service. It's a crapshoot. They have some really friendly, knowledgeable employees, and then they have people who are in it for a paycheck and to go home. (Which I totally get! We all have off days; we all have days where we just want to go home, take the pants off, and have a beer.) Today, a friend of mine volunteered to pick up dinner. She suggested Shake Shack but the line was too long, so I suggested Atomic. They're having a special milkshake event, and I was hyped up, since these shakes are AMAZING. But lo and behold, my friend pulls up to the drive through and is told they are only offering the four milkshakes on the menu--chocolate, vanilla, cookies and cream, and mint chocolate chip. But when she went inside to finish the order, as there was some issue with the drive through, suddenly the full menu of shakes was available, specialty shakes and all. In her words, "First and last Atomic Burger trip for me." Y'all. A Shake Shack just opened up right down the road with a line out the door and you're gonna lie to your customers about shakes? Yikes. The food quality here is SO GOOD--this won't stop me from going. But it definitely stopped her from going back. read more

This place was really good! Definitely a very upscale fast food restaurant. Everything is super clean and much nicer than your typical drive through. I ordered the regular atomic burger which was aweeesome. Lots of melty cheese and two thin burger patties (I was too hungry to remember to snap a pic!) and a cookies and cream milkshake, which was also super delicious. If you're in the mood for a quick burger that doesn't feel too guilty, this is the place to go! read more

I had wanted to try Atomic Burger for a while, they finally were not busy long enough for us to give it a shot. The menu is simple, the restaurant is clean and the service was outstanding. I was pleased to see edamame on the menu as an alternative to French fries. The choice of milkshakes was quirky and inviting. I won't revisit the whole milkshake making apparatus as this has been described in previous reviews. It looks like something out of the original Willy Wonka movie. I had the Atomic Cheeseburger hubby had something else and daughter had a cheeseburger too. All three burgers were so greasy, that they were wet. For lack of a better word, they just seemed....sweaty. The bread wasn't soggy or anything, but the meat was just yuck. The oily dampness was off putting. The bacon was basically flavorless. I ate two bites and threw it away. My husband ate a couple bites, hoping it would get better. It didn't. My daughter said hers tasted fine. The edamame were a bit over cooked and bland, but edible. I ate almost all of that. The fries my husband had were not memorable in any way. The milkshake my daughter had was very, very, good. I cannot complain about the service, but the food is just blah. If you are looking for a good clean casual stop with something to fill your stomach, this may be a good choice, especially if you add a milkshake. read more

I am a burger aficionado. I love burgers so much that I make people uncomfortable while I eat them. To me, the most important thing about a burger is the meat; I'd say the meat makes up about 85% of the grade I give a burger. I like a medium to medium well burger that's slightly charred and not overly seasoned (basically a little bit of salt and pepper). If you like burnt up hockey pucks with egg and garlic and fennel or whatever, then you and I aren't going to jive when it comes to burgers. Other than the meat I'd say the bun makes up about 10% of the score. That means that I can have an A+ burger with no toppings. So that's my scale. If you don't like a pink center in your hamburger, then go by someone else's review. Also, you're eating burgers wrong. This is the best drive through burger I have ever had. Better than In-n-Out. Better than Five guys. Better than Lee's. Better than Frostop. There are 2 types of burgers here; regular burgers and sliders. The regular burgers are big, I'm guessing somewhere between 1/4 lb and 1/2 lb. The sliders are also pretty big. Definitely not sliders, more like the size of a Five Guys single. The sliders are where it's at. They are cooked perfectly, a little bit of char on the outside and a little bit of pink on the inside, which is very difficult to do to a patty that thin. The Jam Burger slider in particular is where it's at. It's got bacon and onion marmalade which I think is just onion confit with chopped bacon. What ever it is, you need to get it in your mouth. The other 2 sliders are also good, but seriously, get the Jam Burger. The fries are fine. They are only good hot and fresh out of the grease, so don't dilly dally. The fact they offer edamame is weird, but I guess to each his own. I have not had a shake because I refuse to pay $5 for a 16 oz shake with no booze. read more

Great location! I bookmarked this spot for National Burger Month and I am glad I did. I love the interior, it's contemporary and hip. I ordered an Atomic Burger (classic burger). It comes with cheese and AB sauce. I thought the burger was well seasoned and very juicy. The bun was soft and the fries were pretty good too. The fries were a little salty, but good. I enjoyed my meal with a wedding cake atomic liquid nitrogen milk shake. Woah!! The nitrogen milk shake machine is front and center, and believe me its a show! Great experience. read more

I visited Atomic Burger on Saturday. Saturdays in Metairie are normally traffic filled days so be aware of this. This specific location has sit down as well as drive thru. Minimal parking and can be a little tight getting out of spots, so be prepared for these possibilities. Burgers. The burgers were not what I expected at all and I mean that in a good way. I went with a Bacon Cheeseburger. This consisted of a double patty, which cheese, bacon and fully dressed. It taste very fresh and just like it came straight off the grill. It was delicious and filling. You could probably go in and order just that and get yourself filled. I also tried a regular size order of fries which was a filled cup of fresh fries that is more than enough for one person. They are pretty tasty, not too salty just right. Shake. I think the shake is what will get me to go back. It was my first time trying a wedding cake shake. It was so delicious I taste tiny little chunks of cake in this yummy treat. Each shake is made individually on the spot and freeze slightly with nitrogen. Talk about a delicious treat. It's a bit much though. Don't go here unless you are extremely hungry to get your money's worth. In addition, staff is very friendly. It can be a little slow but I think it's due to this location being new in the area. read more

I've read the non-positive reviews, and I have to say that I, personally, was impressed with the food and service here. My boyfriend complained that the burgers weren't cooked to order, but I didn't expect that from a baby chain-type restaurant, so I have no complaints there. The patties were well-seasoned. Not New Orleans-spicy seasoned, but definitely better than I have had in cities outside of New Orleans. (Who hasn't traveled to Boston after living here a while and asked "Hey, who stole all the seasoning?") I ordered a bacon cheeseburger, and everything tasted fresh and hit all of the right notes. There was a taste of char, but I really don't like char at all and still enjoyed the burger, so it wasn't that bad. I'm not a fan of fries but ate all of mine, so that should also be a testament to their food. Some of the fries did taste a little burnt, but once again, it wasn't the end of my relationship with Atomic Burger. The reason I'll really be going back is the milkshakes. Yes, they are on the expensive side, but in Florida, I was spending around $7 for milkshakes at my favorite coffeehouse. Also, these milkshakes are so good. They are also customizable. I was all ready to order a Nutella milkshake with its dreaded marshmallows (too sweet and bland) when the cashier asked me if I wanted just the Nutella. I was very happy, and I was even happier when I tried it. It was pure bliss. So, in short: Perfectly serviceable burgers, fries are a little on the crispy side, but the quality of the burgers and the awesome Nutella milkshakes will keep me coming back. read more

The burger was juicy and good. A touch of pink was not my concern. It is how they are made. The fries were good and I wash everything down with a nice chocolate shake. The place is clean and friendly. I will be back. read more

Atomic Burger really demonstrates that I'm very behind on my reviews.... Within a month after my original post, the manager of Atomic Burger private messaged me and said that he was disappointed that I didn't thoroughly enjoy their food. To make up for this, they gave me a $10 gift card. So I used it to buy two things I've never tried: the turkey burger and a chocolate espresso milkshake (when I order my shake, the girl behind the counter suggested I combined a couple of flavors. Since I was craving a mocha, I just went for it.) YUMMY! The turkey burger finally solved the greasy and salty issues of their mushroom burger. Perfectly seasoned, it was great to the last bite. Same with the shake. Super thick and refreshing, I can honestly say it's the best shake I've had. (I usually don't order a lot of shakes. And they're usually from ice cream places.) So 5 stars for the shake alone! And their customer service. Everyone there is so nice and obviously they care about their reputation since they understand that Yelpers aren't above bribes. BUT if your food isn't good, no amount of gift cards will change that. Luckily for Atomic Burger, theirs does. read more

According to signage, they've worked a deal with the bank next door regarding parking. Woot. That had been my only complaint from my first visit. read more

We went thru the drive thru and took our lunch home. So this review is based on the drive thru only. The menu is a bit small, but that's ok. We hoped they would have sweet potato fries, but they don't. I ordered us 2 cheeseburgers and an order of fries. Upon inspection of being handed the bag for my order, it looked like everything was in there. However, when we got home, we found they only gave us one burger and fries. So, we just split it. The food tasted fine but there wasn't much to it. They put 2 very thin patties together instead of 1 regular size one. It kind of reminded me of school cafeteria patties or something. Not exactly what we were looking for. Overall, it was edible, but I don't think we will be back anytime soon. read more

I have been to a lot of burger places and this tops them all! Great and friendly service. Speedy food and the best burger I have had in a long time! It is also reasonably priced! I would come back to Louisiana just for this burger! This is a must try if you are in the area! read more

I have improved my diet to the point of not eating low quality greasy ground meat. I'm happy to say this does not include Atomic Burger! They use a high quality meat and grind it on the premises. Then cook it to perfection; not well done or burned but with a delicious pink center. The flavor is high quality. I had a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a chocolate shake. What more can I say? I'll be back this week! The kids loved it! read more

This place is a very young and budding empire waiting to happen. The burger was great once and good the next time. The fries need a bit of work, but there is not doubt in my mind they'll be sorted out in no time. I've had 4 shakes from the liquid nitrogen machine and they were outstanding. The burgers were tasty, juicy and seasoned well. I will return multiple times. This place is fantastic, and it's only one week old. Imagine where these guys who created this brilliant concept will take it in the future. Highly recommend. Also pink is not raw you fucking clowns! read more

One of my favorite burgers! I live on the Northshore and SOOOO wish there was an Atomic Burger over here! It honestly rivals Company Burger. I try to stop here as much as I can. Also, thank you, AB, for offering a cauliflower bun! It's awesome! read more

Pros - cute place with a decent amount of tables, friendly service, interesting shake flavors Cons - expensive, the meat is tasteless, I'm not a huge fan of the fries I ended up getting a kids meal because I didn't want to spend 10 dollars on a burger meal. The kids meal consisted of a small version of their regular burger, fries, and a small drink. The meal was a nice size. I didn't get a shake but some of the flavors really intrigued me. I may go back for a shake but not for a burger. read more

Im going to start by saying I am not a burger expert. I like them but it's not something I go out and eat often although I think they make a pretty good one. I mainly come here when my sweet tooth is craving dessert. They do a really good milkshakes. The Nutella marshmallow milkshake has little morsels of marshmallows in each sip, one of my favorites! Today I had the wedding cake milkshake and I also liked that one :) service has always been good too. read more

First time coming here today and my whole order was horrible. I got the Jamburger combo, took one bite and literally vomit. The burger taste like a spoiled beef patty with some old tainted sloppy joe on it. And I know this is fast food, but the burger tasted and looked like it was pre-made. The fries was all crumbled, and the orange soda taste more like tap water, no flavor at all! I will NEVER eat at this place again! I wasted $12.00! People in this economy don't have money to be wasting on food. They are charging Five Guys prices for this poor quality of garbage!! Don't eat here!!! You have been warned! read more

I will start this off by saying I will be back. The turkey burger was really good. I heard it has been opened since last November, but just made an entrance. The sales associates were very professional and the place was clean. My order was ready in under 2 minutes which isn't bad for a grilled turkey burger. read more

Not a huge menu but Mmm are the burgers melt In Your mouth. I had the poblano burger. Awesome and flavorful. Get the sliders and have one of each. Fries were too salty for my test but they had that home cut texture read more

Yes, it's fairly expensive... Yes, it's worth it! I first came here in October of 2016 and was looking forward to coming back here on a recent trip. My only regret about this place is I won't be back for a while! I had the green chile burger, fries with truffle mayo, and a Nutella-Marshmallow shake! Everything was great! The burger was seasoned perfectly and the condiments exceptional! The truffle mayo is perfect on their fries! If they ever franchise this concept, I'd own one in a heartbeat, which is saying a lot, as I am a franchisor of my own business! read more

My wife and I just happened to stop in and we were extremely impressed. The whole experience was so well put together, that I assumed this was a new boutique fast food franchise, but it's just this one location. The restaurant is very clean, attractive, well laid out, and plays good music. The menu is simple, yet offers something for everyone (my wife is vegetarian, and loved the portobello burger). The service was fast and courteous. And of course, the food is delicious. They even have some great craft beers available in bottles. We've been twice in the last two weeks and will be back soon. Hopefully next time we won't be so full that we can justify ordering one of the shakes. Not sure yet if they will topple Company Burger for my favorite local burger place, but they are definitely in the running. read more

The cheeseburger was worthy of at least three stars and I enjoyed it as it was a thick patty of juicy meat. Everything was downhill after the burger... the fries were rather limp and not so good... the strawberry milkshake I got had ZERO flavor and was so bland I threw it away after not even consuming half of it. I attempted to sample a slider also but they were out of those. I might go back for the cheeseburger but everything else was pretty disappointing and would distract me from wanting to make a return visit. The bathroom floor was also super slippery and is a lawsuit waiting to happen so they probably want to address that ASAP!!! read more

A brand new burger joint on Veterans and the hype immediately begins to build up wanting everyone to try it out. Sadly it does not meet the expectations and I did not think this place was any special. My parents were actually the ones to tell me about it and asked me to go buy some for them so we can try it. I ordered one cheeseburger, one bacon burger, one mushroom burger, and a large fries. I noticed that they cook their burgers medium so I asked for them all to be well done since I do not like to see any red. I do not think this affected the taste much. When we all were eating the burgers they seemed pretty plain and had no unique taste to them. There was barely any sauce or toppings. Might i add that the burger did give us a weird grumpy tummy feeling. I feel like I can make the same burger on my own grill at home. The fries are average and a little soggy as well. I feel like I may be a bit harsh since they are understaffed, which may be the rush of how they are preparing everything and maybe they have not worked out all of the kinks yet. I do wish I was able to try a milkshake though since one of their gimmicks is the liquid nitrogen machine by the register that spreads smoke everywhere. Maybe in a month after they have settled down will I come try it out again. For now, What exactly is so Atomic about their Burgers you make ask? nada. read more

Atomic Burger - Inside - Fast Food Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Don't ever order Uber eats from this place. They've never gotten it right. And the last straw was an entire box of sliders left on the counter admittedly in full view of the staff. They offered no help in resolving and after staying they had worked for Uber eats themselves insisted that the third party would remedy the situation over the phone. There is no such option. A 24 hour waiting period to "resolve" the issue. Incompetent staff and management is the issue, not Uber eats, who I'm confident will refund the cost of the wasted food but not the wasted time on lazy staff. read more

My screaming two month old robbed me of the opportunity to enjoy the inside, so I went through the drive thru, and I have to say this in CAPS. THESE WORKERS WERE THE NICEST people I've ever talked to in a drive yhru setting. The seemed to take pride in Atomic Burger and they even persuaded me to tru yhe chili cheese dog. Now mind you I didn't look at the prices at all so once everything was placed and she told me my total I sneezed, coughed, and used a couple of bad foul words at the same time. However, she then swooped in and made mw feel like it was all worth it. Soo I perked up and forgot about the price. Now on to the "crack shake". I enjoyed every drop of milk that came out that dawg gone cup. I hate coconut, however, I didn't care at all. I kept drinking while driving and by the time I got home it was gone! The hot dog was not all that, but the Atomic burger was pretty good. Next time I will go inside child or not. I really enjoyed my drive thru experience it was amaze balls!! The best in the city hands down! read more
