This is the Burger Man with the Best Burgers in America Association, and stopped by to try the Boaz, AL location to see how they fare. I have scored their burgers at the Gadsden, AL location, and it is always great. I got their Triple Burger with cheese, and my wife got their Fried Chicken Wrap, and both were great. I think that Burger 101 is better than Culver's. Great job, and thank you for the Military Discount that shows you care for the Military and our service. read more

Great spot for a quick lunch. Found myself in this area and saw the sign, I was hungry so pulled right in, and found it to be a pretty nice operation with a solid menu of recognizable buger/fries/ice cream type stuff, a clean and tidy space, and good prices. The food itself was simple and well prepared. The fries were crispy and hot and the burger was quite tasty and just the right size. It's advertised as a smash burger, but not as smashed as some that you might find...but that's ok. I'd order it again for sure. Overall this seems like a predictable spot with a familiar menu and they did a great job of keeping the line moving during a busy lunch rush. Friendly people, clean space, good food and great value. Would definitely visit again. read more

Food was very fresh. The burgers are kind of like smash patty burgers crispy around the edges. Very delicious. The fries are really good for shoestring fries, better than McDonald's. Service was quick even with a line around the building. Order taker was very polite and professional. We will be back next time we are in Gadsden! read more

The burger and fries were terribly salty, the fries are thin and greasy .the poor girl working there was very polite. I guess for $10. First and last time I will be going there I'll go next door to Jack's. read more

Good burger but on the thin side, you may want to order a double which would make it a standard hamburger. Fries were hot and crispy.

Came through and grabbed a quick dinner at the tail end of a long drive home. This is a locally-owned burger joint! They have a drive-through if you're in an extra big hurry but I figured I'd come inside and unwind a bit before finishing the last leg of my journey. It was clean inside, with a decent amount of indoor seating and a large outdoor patio too. I was a bit miffed to realize I'd stumbled in right behind a very large group of 10-12 people, but to my pleasant surprise, the staff got their orders in quickly and I didn't have to wait long. Everyone's food was out fast, too -- in total, I was waiting maybe 5-7 minutes. Not bad at all. The staff was more friendly than I'd expect for a quick-service burger place, way nicer than your average Wendy's or McDonald's. They were super helpful and patient and seemed to be working hard. The burgers are smash burgers -- think like Steak n Shake or Freddy's. That means if you're really hungry, you'd probably do better with a double! I wasn't famished or anything, so I just got a single patty hamburger combo. The price was right -- wanna say something like $8, but can't remember exactly. Less than $10 for sure. I can't remember what the standard burger has on it, but I got mine with lettuce, ketchup, and their special/comeback sauce, which to my tastes is your standard (albeit yummy) slightly vinegary, pale orange mayo/ketchup fusion. My burger was cooked nicely and the bun was soft, if a little greasy. My fries were standard but also cooked nicely and I found ketchup to dip them in easily. They make milkshakes if you want dessert, but I was eager to get back on the road. Bathrooms appear to be for one person at a time, and whoever went in ahead of me was taking way too long for my patience, so can't comment on that, lol. I can't promise your mind will be blown with the best burger and fries you've ever had, but if you're looking for locally owned, very clean, friendly service and tasty food on a budget and short timeframe, this place fits the bill exactly. read more

Burger 101 - Single patty burger and fries combo - Burgers Near Me - Gadsden, Alabama

Found it on Yelp a few months ago to help someone who was travel to Gadsden and wanted something different, they have great reviews about it when they ate there and told me I got to go, so I was in Gadsden for a Model Train show, and my family and I ate in, it was great, got the buffalo chicken sandwich combo. Staff was nice but not over friendly but food was hot and quick. Inside is basic but clean read more

Great place! Food is always very good and service is great also! I love the option to eat in doors or out!

Great burger and fries. Staff attentive and efficient. Cleanliness very high. Overall great experience

Enjoyed our burger take out-reasonably priced. Will definitely be back. They did get our drink order wrong unfortunately.

Fries and burgers are so greasy it's inedible. I rarely ever find a place where I don't finish the fries, but this was an exception!

You will not find a better hamburger, wings or chicken fingers! We go 2 to 3 times a month.

We went through the drive through. Service was great. Burgers had a really good flavor to them. Fries were thin and very crispy just like we like them. The only very small issue was that the fries and burger were a little bit too greasy. I would still go back again though it was worth the trip. read more

I haven't found a lot of good local fast food places, but I really like this one! I pop in when I'm working in Gadsden, and their burgers and fries are really tasty! I find that if a place has a good burger, the fries are usually so-so. But not these guys, very good crisp on the fries, and make sure to order the BBQ sauce! Tastes home made! Great spot if you're needing a quick meal. Not expensive, and really tasty burgers! read more

Great service,It's was fast ,Friendly,also the restaurant was clean very clean .We go here any time you want a real hamburger they will add take away whatever on your burger.I did see the had salads a lady in front of me got one it looked delicious.So far everything we got from them have been great . read more

New place, seems to be doing pretty good out of the gate. Nothing is easy about Covid and opening a restaurant during these times can't be easy. They really seemed to have it together as far as keeping people social distanced and staff wearing masks. They were pretty busy when we came in here, I'm guessing everyone is just happy to have a new option .... hopefully they will last, nothing seems to stay in this building very long. Staff was friendly and answered our questions about menu items and took our orders. Food prep took about 10 minutes, not too bad considering how many people had ordered a head of us. They call out names (or maybe #'s) when the food is ready, we grabbed our and were pleased to see that the orders were correct the first time (any of you that have eaten with me know I rarely order something the way it's called out on the menu) .... food was fresh and burger had good flavor. Definitely a step above the other traditional fast food burger joints we all know. That being said I will agree with some of the other reviews - the burger is the only thing warm on the bun - everything else was cold (well bacon was warm too). So if you're looking for melted cheese and things like that, not happening here - but, I actually don't mind my burger that way so no deduct on stars from me. We enjoyed our meal and would recommend this place (and have) to others. read more

Great salads. Full and plentiful for the money. I'm not a burger fanatic and opted for the salad due to rave reviews. The fried Club chicken salad did not disappoint. Will definitely recommend and try this salad again. read more

Love the food but the last few times my sandwich looked like the bun had been smashed which made it really a mess.

Service was good! Food was pretty good too. I wouldn't drive there for another meal but if I was going that way and needed food would stop again! read more

Best and fast and delicious burgers to eat here , many more locations coming but man, do they know how to make a basic burger. With really great price and fast service, a little small area but it's still worth every penny. Great deserts and of course it's only milkshakes and scoops of ice cream but it's still great to eat. Owner would be around here and there but he will be more welcome to serve you. read more

10/10 recommend. Bacon burger 10/10. Chicken fingers 10/10 Milkshakes 10/10. Fries 10/10 read more

Burger 101 - Chocolate milkshake - Burgers Near Me - Gadsden, Alabama

I went through the drive-thru, and ordered a single burger combo, add cheese, with fries and a vanilla milkshake! Everything was hot and fresh, the fries were crispy, and the milkshakes taste like they're made fresh with ice cream. The cheese was melted on my burger, which is a must for me. The young lady working the drive thru was wearing a mask correctly, which was really pleasing to see! Sadly the only recyclable item is the plastic lid on the cup and the brown paper bag. This place definitely gives off classic diner vibes. Only complaint is how long it takes to receive food, which, for the quality, it's worth the wait! read more

Actually, my wife and I decided to check this place out yesterday and have been wanting to ever since it took over the Hot Heads building. We were not able to go in but given a choice I think we'll dine in next time. We had heard the service was slow because the burgers are made to order so it was not unexpected that we waited in "drive thru" for over 10 minutes. Now for the burgers...Worth the wait! We ordered the combos (burger, drink & fries) and while the fries were a bit salty and not anything special, the burgers were fantastic! Be warned... the standard combos start out as doubles and go up from there but you can special order single combos. I order the double bacon cheeseburger combo and my wife ordered the double cheeseburger combo. They use a special sauce that tastes like a cross between Guthrie's sauce and Jack's comeback sauce... Fantastic! I didn't realize until it was too late but you can substitute Sweet Potato Tots for the fries. Will definitely try that next time! May have to go back today! read more

The quality of food seems to have decreased lately. The burgers used to actually look like the pictures and taste amazing. Several times lately, they've been squished and burnt on the edges like some of the fast food burgers.The fries are always good though. read more

I love the burgers and chicken fingers! a bit pricey but good food and its always been fresh.

Needed to feed an 80 person film crew last minute and they were super helpful and accommodating, and they even had the order ready early. Really enjoyed their food! read more

Burger 101 - Cobb salad. Yummy - Burgers Near Me - Gadsden, Alabama

The food was okay but I had called to tell them I was missing my second patty on my Double Bacon Cheeseburger and was basically told that I was lying although I double-checked my food just to make sure I am highly disappointed with the experience. Thank you Miss Kaitlyn. read more

After a long appointment elsewhere, I wanted to come here today to give this place a try. I never visited when it was briefly "Hot Head Burritos" some time ago, so this was my first time in the building itself. There was around as many people in the drive-thru as there were people in the restaurant itself, and my grandfather and I chose to dine in. The staff, who did well with keeping their masks on, kept things moving at a decent pace. For my meal, I ordered a single cheeseburger with everything on it (meat, cheese, tomatoes, pickles, and restaurant-style sauce), and I got a 3-piece chicken finger combo with fries. I got a cup of buffalo sauce and ranch dressing to dip my chicken in. I had a Coca-Cola as my drink which was fresh. Almost instantly after receiving our order (around 10 minutes after placing it), my grandfather had to go back to the counter twice to get bacon put on his burger as he ordered. Everything in my order was prepared properly, though I wasn't impressed by the food itself. Everything on my burger was cold except for the meat. I feel like I've had that same kind of burger at other restaurants before, and to put it simply... nothing stood out with it. As for the chicken and fries, I did like them, but they also weren't outstanding. The chicken was very crispy, but almost a bit too done; many hard bits of the skin. The fries were thinly cut and decently seasoned. Both the fries and chicken were reminiscent of what I've had at Hardee's in the past. If you come here for a meal, choosing the chicken and fries while skipping the burger would be my recommendation. I got a small cookie dough milkshake as a dessert, and I didn't like it. It was the thinnest milkshake I've ever consumed, like someone threw cookie dough bits into a glass of milk. I watched her prepare it, so maybe it's just something wrong with their machine? The milkshakes and ice cream are from the Blue Bunny brand. As for the restaurant itself, the inside is decorated with various wall art dedicated to Gadsden and it's handful or attractions. There were a few flies, some of which were near the ice cream counter. One of them obstructed the news playing on the ceiling-mounted televisions; I thought the news station was having a glitch with their weather SkyCam, but nope... it was just a fly on our end. There were multiple unclean tables and booths. The bathrooms were mostly clean, no complaints there. The atmosphere and design of the inside reminds me a lot of the "Cook Out" chain, though Burger 101 is about half its size. The outside dining area is a suitable size for larger crowds. Other than my overall dissatisfaction with this restaurant, I do understand that it is a new establishment and has some things to be worked on. The staff were decent, so I wish them the best with keeping this new burger joint up. For the moment, Burger 101 may need to retake the class. read more

Went here the other day with the hubby and was waited on by the nicest people. I ordered the double cheeseburger and fries and he ordered the chicken finger and fries. Everything was excellent from the service, to the wait time, to the foot itself. The price was good as well. The burger was off the chain. We will definitely be back for sure! read more

Loved the fresh cooked burgers! They were so good! I also tried the sweet potato tots! They were delicious!

Not good. Burgers were pre-cooked and cold. My wife's cheeseburger was so cold the cheese wasn't even melted. The food is very mediocre. If you've read their advertisement, don't believe it. read more

This burger place is AMAZING. I was craving a burger in my dorm lol, and decided to try this place out. It does take some time for it to be made because they make the burgers to order but the wait was fine because my burger was fresh and SO yummy. The fries were absolutely delicious to me as well, if you like crispy fries then this is your place. Sauce is a big factor for me as well and I got ranch and they're ranch is literally one of my favorites now. This place is a must and super cute aesthetic too!! 10/10 read more

Tried it for the first time and was very dissatisfied, the burger had wilted lettuce and no tomato or onion it was very cheaply dressed...the quality of the meat was hard and rubbery ...and they did not refund my money altho I had a reciept... for the amount I paid for this meal it should have been better ....spoke with manager on the phone and got no results I would not recommend anyone to eat there Wendy's is better! read more

Waited for quite some time for this to open. Was looking forward to what I thought would be a decent burger place. It's average at best the fries are bland and the bread was no great joy , kinda dry and bland I guess that's the theme for this place. The price is the only thing that compares to five guys burgers. If you can't drive to Anniston then try to get into Chiefs for a much better burger read more

I absolutely love this place. I honestly thought it would bomb because it's next door to Jack's, but their burgers beat Jack's by a mile. They may be a little pricey, but you get a quality burger. read more
