This is not fast food. And that is a good thing because you are guaranteed a freshly prepared top class burger. Not something you encounter much anymore. It is slightly more expensive than McD's but for sure in a different league. I'd say that you should expect to pay about $10 a person for dinner here and no one will leave hungry! You order your meal and grab a table. About 10 minutes later you experience burger heaven. It's called burger 25 because there's 25 burgers on the menu including a veggie burger but I don't think this is really a vegan hang out... You come here when you're in the mood for a 100% Angus, FDA choice burger although you can also experiment with pulled pork, roast beef, chicken, lamb or bison burgers. Their other specialities are shakes and floats and though we did not try any, they looked magnificent. Home cut fries are served with a home made garlic ranch sauce that reminded me of the pommes frites that you buy at the street vendors in Belgium who serves them with mayonnaise and other creamy sauces. Extremely excellent! The blue cheese dressing that they serve with their wings have big chunks of blue cheese in it and I bet they are also home made. The lightly coated wings were perfectly prepared although I prefer mine naked and I did not like the buffalo sauce they were drenched in. It was a tasty sauce, don't get me wrong but I'm a fan of the original wings that they serve at the Anchor bar in Buffalo - crispy and tossed in Frank's red hot and melted butter. The place was humming when we were there but the 2 ladies behind the counter were cool and calm and we were impressed with the their service and especially Janine's seeming passion for the place and the food they serve. If you're in Toms River over lunch or dinner give Burger 25 a try, you will definitely not be disappointed. Call them with your order in advance if you're in a hurry or just kick back and enjoy their hip, retro decor as you wait for your perfection on a plate. read more

There are times in your life when you just want an AWESOME BURGER. I was talking to a friend about this and he mentioned Burger 25. Never had been there, passed it numerous times going to work, thought they had been there forever. My buddy said no.....they had changed hands a few years back, and he just went on and on, even the fries are amazing, him and his girlfriend go once a week, etc.....figured I would make a point to stop there. Holy crap, I'm glad I did. Had a bacon cheeseburger with these fries with a garlicky dipping sauce....just so ,so good. The burger was really one of the best I've ever had. Same for the fries. It's funny, so used to people exaggerating, this time it was on the money. So glad I stopped here, can't wait to go back. read more

Burgers are amazing. Fries and the garlic ranch are amazing. Shakes are great! Edible cookie dough is so good. Best burger in Jersey!

Total disappointment. I ordered a regular cheeseburger with fries. I received what seemed to be an entire loaf of bread with a Wendy's kid's meal hamburger patty wedged in between. I wish I had taken a picture of my plate afterwards because it was filled with bread that was peeled away so I could find the burger. Oh- and it was cold! The fries were ok, I have to say. My boyfriend got chili cheese fries and he really liked them. I'd been waiting to try this place for a while as I consider myself a burger connoisseur- I wouldn't ever return- the burger, in my opinion, was vile. read more

If you're looking for an excellent veggie burger and fries, this is the place!! They will substitute a veggie patty on any of their other burgers. Also, try the fried pickles. You won't be disappointed! read more

I thought it was good. The roll especially had a great taste and seemed quite fresh. The fries were great as well. I had the A1 Bleu Burger, but subbed BBQ sauce instead of the A1 sauce. The crispy onion strings were small, almost like crispy onion crumbs, but the taste was there and they added a nice crunch. Overall I was quite satisfied with my lunch and will certainly be going back. My only complaint was the speed; there were about 4 tables of people in the dining room already eating, myself, and 2 other people waiting for food. So for 3 people waiting to get food, it took about 12 minutes. Not overly slow, but compared to a place like Bobby's Burger Palace where I get my burger in 5 minutes tops, no matter how crowded it is, it seemed slow. I do realize they haven't been open a month yet, so I'll cut them some slack. But as far as food was concerned, the burger was good, big, fresh, etc. I can't wait to try some of the others on the menu. I'll update my review after future visits. Oh, one more thing, they serve milk shakes and have ice cream (maybe its only for the shakes, I'm not sure) but they're next to probably the best ice cream in Ocean County; Rich's II. So I'm not really sure how many shakes they'll sell. They should team up with Rich's next door and offer some kind of deal where you get a voucher for an ice cream cone. Something simple like that; buy a burger and drink get a coupon for free small cone from Rich's II. read more

Wow. Maybe people have never had a good burger before but this place does not have it. The crab burger was mostly filler and had a slimy wet coating ? And the Trenton had this gross kraft singles-esqe cheese. The patty was very thin and the meat had those gross fat nuggets that get stuck in your teeth. Overall I would have liked a McDonalds burger better and it's been about ten years since I walked in that place soooooo.... The biggest issue for Burger 25 is that the owners are trying to cut corners. They are using poor quality product and smashing it between two huge buns and hoping you don't notice. I would rather pay a dollar more and get good quality ingredients - or at least a patty that isn't paper thin. They need to take a drive to any major city and check out the burgers or even a Ruby Tuesdays. read more

I came here once before when it opened and didn't like my burger I ordered because the bread was dry, but my friend wanted to go so I thought I'd give them another shot. The space is small, casual, and cozy. This time I ordered the French onion burger my friend ordered the chili cheeseburger. The meat and the toppings on the burger are pretty good. My big problem is the bread. For me it's far too thick and dries up the burger. I know they can't really do much because it's a chain, but I prefer a softer airier bread than a deli or kaiser style bun. The reason why they got 2 stars from me was because of their shakes. I got the red velvet milk shake. The presentation was great. It came with a red velvet santa lollipop which was pretty cute, but that's where it ended. The milk shake didn't taste like anything. I had to throw it out. (And I hate wasting food and the milkshake cost 4.79 so def not worth it for the price) We ended up going to five guys after and got their peanut butter milkshakes which are the best!!! read more

See all

Believe the hype. This place is amazing. Ordered four different burgers for adults and one kids meal. All the burgers were cooked as ordered and juicy. We were a little overwhelmed at all of the selection for fries so we just went with the regular boardwalk fries and an order of onion rings. They were delicious. Nice and crispy and their ranch is probably some of the best ranch I've ever had they must make it in house. I had the A1 burger with bleu cheese and I really enjoyed it. My wife had the burger with mac & cheese on it and she loved it. We will definitely be back as I can see this becoming one of our go to spots. We didn't try any of the milkshakes but they looked delicious. Definitely next time. Just to note, we tried going here are a couple of weeks ago but the line was out the door and I see why. We ended up going to five guys instead, huge mistake. This place blows five guys out of the water read more

Really good burger spot in town. In my opinion it's is better quality then Smash Burger which I love. The staff was very friendly and attentive. My burger was cooked perfect and the buffalo fries were amazing. Only thing I didn't enjoy much were the wings. This place still deserves a 5 star rating! read more

We ordered Burger 25 delivery and it was AMAZING. The French onion burger is to die for. We also got the loaded fries with cheese, sour cream and bacon and it was delicious. We love this place so much that we also got burgers to put in the fridge and eat as leftovers. This is one of the best burger spots I've ever had. Don't have one complaint read more

I was very upset with an situation that happened one night with a take out. I wrote a scathing review. Since then the owner has taken the time to reach out to me. And he was well composed in doing so. So...the food is great. You will not be disappointed. But kids will be kids so you may not meet that kid at the register in their most shining moment. I respect an owner who cares and can be even tempered. That is a good sign of how things are handled across the board in his business. read more

Nice clean place, AMAZING burgers. And who doesn't like free stickers? We went on a Tuesday which also happens to be kids eat free night with the purchase of a burger salad or wrap, which was a pleasant surprise so our son got chicken fingers. Will definitely be returning and trying one of their milkshakes with my burger! read more

The order was ready quickly and the pick up window made the process very easy. I got the mushroom swiss burger and it was just ok. A little under seasoned and kinda dry. I'd go back but wouldn't be my first choice. read more

This place has really good burgers and fries which I enjoyed. My only problem was that all the cashiers were wearing their masks but didn't cover all the way up to their noses. I also saw that none of the cooks in the back wore masks at all. One even walked through the waiting area without one. read more

After begin down at the Jersey Shore for a week and seeing signs that is was voted the best burger spot in the State, we decided to give it a try. Let me say the service was great the place is nice and clean, but it gets crowded. After eating the cheddar bacon cheeseburger, the one thing I can say is it mediocre at best and I can't see how it was voted best burger place in Jersey. After seeing only professional pictures of the food it should have been a big tip off too. read more

Good restaurant for the whole family, just not my cup of tea. It's set up to look and feel very kid friendly but the dining area is small so don't be surprised if someone's poor child ends up at your table looking for the non existent play area. It's cool this place is open a little later though. I made the mistake of ordering an italian dog instead of a burger. After discovering they use just a regular hot dog for it I was a little heartbroken. Not something I would order from them again. Don't be dissuaded. I hear the burgers here are pretty good. Overall it's a good place to stop if you're on the way to the beach or looking for a more authentic burger. This place is very popular with the locals. read more

Overall my family really enjoys this place. The burgers are great, the shakes are even better. Love that the menu is constantly changing.

Great burgers and fries but I think they are even better at making excellent shakes. I am always looking forward to the burger and shake of the month. I have always had a great meal here and the staff is always friendly read more

All their food is amazing. Tonight we ordered a tex MeX burger, gyro burger and veggie burger. We came for pick up & by accident they mislabeled two of the burgers and I already had taken a bite into one. The manager immediately replaced them at no charge. That was very nice of her and shows their customer service. So yea tonight I tried my first veggie burger by accident...but being from burger 25 it was delicious anyhow. We come here regularly & will continue to do so. Also def try their Nashville chicken sandwich. read more

Great burgers! The milk shakes were good also, I got the s'mores and my boyfriend got the fired Oreo! The fried Oreo was 100X better than the s'more. We got the fires with cheese and pork roll on it and they were fantastic! read more

Absolutely amazing burgers and shakes. Have never waited more than 10 or 15 minuets from the moment i walk in to the moment my food is delivered to my table. Don't even have to pick up your food yourself. The dog friendly option is also awesome! read more

I love Burger 25! I love the unique assortment of specialty burgers side and shakes. The garlic ranch is perfect for dipping your fries. The place is always hopping , def not fast food and that's perfectly fine because the food is delicious! Great friendly staff and nice dining area very comfortable and relaxing. Can't wait to go back! read more

Ate here last night and had 4 burgers with fries. The fries with the sauce was great and the burgers were also amazing. I have never seen a place with so many different burgers. Can't wait to try them all out. read more

I ordered 3 things for 3 peoples dinner. 2 burgers and 10 chicken wings. The chicken never came. Delivery fee and a generous tip later one person had nothing to eat hearing that you get a credit doesn't fill a belly. Very disappointed can they not handle even a small order? read more

Can't say enough.....the burgers are amazing and so are the milkshakes. I just hope one day I'll be able to actually finish a whole meal without wanting to explode! Well worth the 30 minute drive from where I live to come here. One of my favorite spots read more

Delicious. Delicious. Delicious. One time didn't properly sum up the burgers and French fries. Service was fast and friendly. I didn't get a picture, because the meal didn't last long enough! 10/10 will visit again. read more

Overpriced underwhelming Burger jointLots of choices every little thing cost extra money, any changes same thing... It's OK but you could find a much better burgers and much better place to go. Was not impressed at all read more

Best. Burgers. Ever. If you're local or visiting, make it a point to stop by Burger 25. Generous portions for the price. Delicious food. Plenty of variety between the everyday menu and monthly specials. Shakes are to die for! Forget your diet and splurge with one of their special super shakes. Yum! Service is amazing. Friendly and helpful. Just understand this - this joint is popular. If you're going to pick up a burger at mealtime, you may have to wait a bit. You may have to be patient or flexible with seating if you stay in. Just remember, the wait and the seating challenge you may face is because this place is THAT good. There's a reason they've been named Best Burger in Jersey! read more

Food was good but cold. Also one of our bags was not stapled closed. So food was exposed to delivery driver.

My literal favorite place to eat. They have amazing burgers and there wraps and salads are to DIE for. Also the garlic sauce they provide with their fries is out of this world. Not to mention they have the most A m a z I n h super shakes OMG Super friendly staff as well! read more

Saved our vacation. The food was just that good. Made everything going wrong a million times better! Best food of my life. Still talk about it to this day. AMAZING. read more

Their meat makes my buns happy!! my bf and friends travel from south Jersey to meat and eat at Burger 25. Sooo good!

Pretty overrated. The place doesn't exactly have the best burger in town. It's the staff are fairly nice, but are pretty unhelpful if you ask of anything. If you're ordering takeout, make sure to repeat your exact order 4x. If not, they'll definitely mess up your food. read more

Soooo good. Amazingly friendly, attentive staff, delicious burgers, tons of choices, yummy shakes and the GARLIC RANCH is everything!!!!! We frequently get burgers and this is our go to spot!! read more

Massively large and delicious burgers. Boardwalk fries are also great. They have specials on different days of the week.

40 min wait for a burger that wasn't the Junior burger that I ordered. It was burnt and inedible. They must have run out of soft burger buns because it came on a dreadfully hard roll. Definitely not the best burger in NJ. Five Guys would have been a better choice. Help was very friendly hence a star. read more

Love Burger 25!!! So yummy & always have great food! I miss the donut burger with the pb sauce!

Not just a burger place. Great salads and chicken sandwiches. Also always look forward to the super shakes every month!
