    Popped in for a quick bite before a meeting. You order from a kiosk and you can select dining in or out or to go. A very relaxed atmosphere and they have a PAC-MAN game. They have a full bar and ice cream. They offer breakfast on Saturday & Sunday. Good food, friendly service.

    The burger was juicy, fries were top notch and the milkshake was cold and fresh! You can order on a tablet or at the counter and the staff will bring it to your table. awhile you wait you can play Pac-man (Score!) All the staff were very helpful and kind. Can't wait to go back!

    I want to like this place because we always need a go to burger joint. But if I get a burger with a flavored sauce like bourbon or horseradish I need to taste those FLAVORS! Meat was moist and juicy. Cooked perfectly. My last bite was sans bottom bun. Juices won that war. Still was a good meal. A little on the pricey side $35 burger fries beer.

    So delicious came back for more the very next day, even considering placing a catering order for upcoming coming event. Service was excellent also! 10/10 highly recommend

    Upon walking in there was no greet, no acknowledgement and they weren't busy... lots of workers to dine in customer ratio. Anywho the burgers are pretty pricey, but I did want to give them a shot anyways. They do have a food varity of diferent burgers and chicken sandwiches, they don't offer grilled chicken options either. You just have to request it...odd. My partner got the Shrlington hot and subbed it for grilled chicken. I got the hot and hefe, add mushrooms. We both wanted lettuce wraps which they didn't offer. Instead the cashier insisted a bowl...which we did not want. Not a salad bowl...just a lettuce wrap. Cajun fries was a must, we love cajun fries and always want to see what each place may taste like. They should definitely offer it being that a lot of people do low carb or keto. It's a corner spot with ample outdoor seating and a small 10 sitter bar. Taste? Shrlington hot? Not hot...very bland in my opinion. We rated it a 3/10. My burger? Super soggy like everything fell apart on first bite:( the taste was ok, but I would not do it again. 5/10. I just didn't understand why my burger was so wet...it was a big disappointment. Cajun fries with their chipotle sauce was amazing 10/10. Great flavor and perfect crisp! Overall i wasn't impressed, but will come back for the fries!

    Big Buns is such a great spot. The food is always good, and the staff is honestly the best part. Everyone is super nice, welcoming, and makes you feel comfortable right away. They're always smiling, helpful, and happy to help with anything. It's the kind of place where you enjoy being there, not just eating. Really good vibes all around. Definitely recommend and I'll for sure be back.

    My time at "Big Buns" was a very good experience. My granddaughter loved her kids meal & my food was enjoyable as well. I can't wait to come back to see Natalia & Aj. They both ROCK!!

    First time here, and was really craving a burger. I got the build your own burger option, and was pleased with the amount of options to customize your burger. I had a well done patty with Gruyère cheese, sautéed mushrooms, jalapeño, lettuce, tomato, red onions, pickles, applewood bacon, and a side of fries. The burger was better than I could have imagined and definitely hit the spot to satisfy my burger cravings. The side of French fries were very good too. The fries were crisp and shoestring style. I def will come back here.

    Classic BYO

    This place was quaint but definitely could feel the bring your crew here vibes. Still gotta get used to these QR code menus. The burger and truffle fries were absolutely packed full of flavor. I was pleasantly surprised that they didn't skimp on the truffle cheese. But the MVP of the night was the Unicorn Float! I got a lady in the window who stopped to gaze at the glorious stead filled with sugar, twizzlers and marshmallows! The taste was as amazing as the aesthetics. It you're in the area or this town center definitely give this place a try!

    Whitney L.

    Pretty great food for the cost of what I ate. Roughly $17 for a customized burger with a side of fries. I really enjoyed the angus burger but I appreciate the variety of proteins you can choose from. Service could improve as they're a bit slow when it comes to taking orders. Otherwise our food came out fairly quickly. It's a casual vibe with live music on Thursdays only for a temporary time.

    Super tasty burger joint in my favorite little neighborhood in the DMV! I absolutely loved the Oreo milkshake. Wow! The service was great, and the fries rocked too. I didn't *love* the burger; at its price point, I was hoping for a bigger patty and a richer, less stale bun. But it still had a great taste overall! I look forward to coming back here in the future.

    Ambiance: (5/5) Great seating. It is very spacious. I liked the decor. Price: (4/5) Prices are average for the area. Food: (4/5) I enjoyed my burger and fries. The burger was cooked medium just as I had asked and the fries were crispy. I also like their soda options, similar to Cava. Service: (5/5) Great staff and food comes out quick.

It only took a quick 10 minutes to receive our entire order, which was 3 burgers, a crispy fried chicken sandwich, loaded fries, and 2 milkshakes! I was very happy with how efficient the service was and the most important part, how delicious every bite was! The smashburgers are made with 100% halal beef and they come out HOT with perfectly crispy edges on the patties and a juicy center. We ordered 3 burgers and each of them stood out in their own way. You can get a single, double, or triple patty burger and add whatever toppings to it too. The jalapeño burger was the star of the show, it had a such a nice and spicy kick to it. I wasn't expecting much but this burger had HEAT! Another favorite was the Juicy Lucy. It was packed with grilled onions and the patty was stuffed with cheddar cheese. A super messy and cheesy option that was definitely worth every bite! I liked that Jon's Joint offered other options too such as loaded fries and fried chicken sandwiches. What I found unique is that for the loaded fries, you can get it with falafel and make it spicy! This time, they had run out of the falafel so I am excited to try it next time. If you're in Arlington and craving a casual burger spot, you need to go to Jon's Joint. You'll get quick service and a delicious meal!

You can tell the owner is really into Superheroes. I ordered the grilled chicken. The good thing is that it is cooked to order. Loved that. Downside, no seasoning, AT ALL. This would be fine, I understand dietary considerations with sodium. What had me perplexed was they had NO PEPPER in the entire restaurant. I've NEVER been at a restaurant that didn't have any pepper. Plenty of salt, seasoned salt and even more salt. No pepper. Burgers seem to be popular. Wasn't very crowded, but seemed popular by locals. It was a "meh" for me. I do however really like that the food is cooked to order.

    It's World Cup season, and a VA resident asked me where he should watch the game. I had not been…read morehere in years, but I usually remembered all of the TVs around and those epic wings and cocktails. He took my advice, and we decide to make it a full outing. We showed up an hour and a half before the game started and got the last table in the entire bar. If you know this place, you know it is huge. I knew it was a good option for watching the game, but I didn't realize everybody else knew too . Since my last visit years ago, they have switched to QR code orders -- unless you are sitting at the bar I'm guessing. As I said, the place was absolutely full, but there was never a long wait time between ordering and receiving food and drinks. They had a fun 20 wing platter for $25.99 with some unique flavors representing different countries... USA (Buffalo Garlic), Spain (pollo asado), South Korea (SPICY), and Mexico (Creamy Cilantro)... I think I got those right, but wow what a feast! Yeah, I didn't take a pic, I'm sorry lol. The cheapest cocktails were $6, but others ranged from $8-12, so not bad at all. Everyone had a great time and I forgot how fun it is. But my special someone is a 5 minute walk away, so I ought to be returning more regularly :). Oh, the only thing was that we had to ask for water and it wasn't brought otherwise. It was a hot day, and there were 6 of us, so we needed a lot of water haha. But a simple ask and it was brought out quickly. In my opinion, they should do it automatically though!

    We arrived at our hotel fairly late and the hotel restaurant was already closed. This place was…read morelocated directly across the street and was open super late. Perfect. I did not want to eat fried or super unhealthy food since it was late but this place looked like the best option. We decided to sit at the bar area right by the entrance since it was empty. It did not take long for the bartender to approach us and offered drinks. Hubs and I both ordered beers on tap, which were delivered not too long after we ordered. I was in the mood for wings and decided to go for the boneless option since hubs only likes those and I definitely was not going to finish. I also wanted a veggie option so I went with the veggie wrap. Hubs ordered the Tex-Mex eggrolls. Our food arrived at an appropriate time and was correct. The food was okay but not out of this world, which we were expecting. We both enjoyed the veggie wrap though. This place is a good option for watching sports and if they're open late. The place is also big in size.

There was music, games and all the other diners. My server was pretty good but drinks and food was mediocre. WARNING-- if you're planning to order wings--just know that you only get 6 for $18 because the count isn't listed on the menu. I felt like I was taken advantage of because that's RIDICULOUS!!! I've never been charged that much for party wings, even at upscale restaurants.When my wings were sat down in a tiny bowl, I was livid.....I felt like it was highway robbery and definitely not worth the price. The only cool thing about this place was the free Photo Booth I noticed when leaving. It was free to take videos and pictures then send to your phone via text messages. I wouldn't recommend the food or drinks here because the price gouging is insane and there are way better places to eat and drink in the area. Also, there wasn't a Dj present because I kept hearing the same songs being played as if there was a playlist being played from a device of some sort. On a good note --the restrooms were pretty clean and they have board games to play on the first level where you enter at. It was ok, but I highly doubt I'd return.
