    My son & I enjoying the sign!

    Burgers were the BEST! I think it should be higher than 75th! The owner recognized we were new, checked to make sure we were satisfied. He explained the use of oak wood. We'll be back.

    Charred Food is one of those underrated gems you're so glad you stumbled across. The moment you walk in, the space feels open, casual, and comfortable -- perfect for a quick lunch or an easy dinner spot. You order right at the counter when you come in, almost like a fast-food setup, but don't let that fool you... the food quality is far from fast food. My burger came out surprisingly fast, but still had that incredible smoky, char-grilled flavor that makes Charred stand out from other burger places. The fries were perfectly crispy, and the Brussels sprouts were honestly a highlight -- so flavorful and cooked just right. If you're craving a solid burger with great sides in a relaxed setting, Charred is definitely worth a stop. An underrated Herndon spot that deserves a lot more love!

    Brisket burger

    We originally walked into TGI Fridays, but after seeing Charred and checking out the menu online while sitting at our table, we decided we had to give it a try. We had the best brisket burger of our lives! We will definitely be back. The owner, Jim, was phenomenal, friendly, welcoming, and professional. The restaurant was also meticulously clean, which did not go unnoticed. Highly recommend!

    My order: Cowboy Brisket Burger: 6.4 oz Halal Patty, Smoked Sliced Brisket, Fried Egg, Jalapeños, Monterey Jack Cheese, Tomato and Lettuce with Charred Special Sauce and BBQ Sauce. Add on: Bacon Note: A Halal Beef Bacon option is available My Review: This burger was absolutely epic. The brisket was melt in your mouth moist, and the patty was cooked to a perfect medium well. The Cajun seasoning on the fries hit just right, neither overpowering nor underdone, just perfectly balanced. And the portion size? Actually generous, which is rare in Northern VA, where you typically get mediocre food in tiny portions at inflated prices. I can't recommend Charred enough. The service was excellent, the food came out fast, and the whole vibe was fun and inviting, with great lighting and an authentic BBQ atmosphere--every single bite delivered. Excellently priced Generous portions that actually satisfy Friendly, attentive staff Locally sourced ingredients Spotlessly clean Top-tier flavor If you're tired of overpriced disappointment, do yourself a favor and hit up Charred!!!.

    I went back to Charred foods craving a tasty burger while near Worldgate. Anything wood-fired tastes better imo and I also really appreciate that they use high quality ingredients here. Its been a few years since my last visit. Still super good burger, filling and flavorful The place was totally empty and so I luckily got immediate, speedy service and watched my burger being made freshly made right there. The charred brussel sprouts on the menu were calling my name so I also got those but then vaguely remembered I had ordered the same thing last time! They are good if you eat immediately so that they are crispy but can get quite soggy quickly due to the sauce/grease so I could have done with out but the burger was perfect.

    me and my bf were passing thru here and decided to stop in here and we are so happy we did! our burgers were so good and fresh, the cajun fries were amazing!! the older man with glasses was so sweet to us and everyone in there the entire time and even offered us free cookie butter milkshake samples which were delicious! definitely recommend :)

    Absolutely top-notch service. Seriously, incredible. I asked if they had ketchup and they brought me 8 cups of mayo, ketchup, and a special burger sauce. As for the foods I genuinely cannot remember eating a burger this good. Not even kidding. I tried like 4 of their burgers all of them being sooo good. You feel special eating here. They ask how the food is, if you need anything, etc. You WILL get taken care of here. The ambiance is also incredible, feels like your local burger place, not some fast food joint.

    This is a pretty decent burger joint in World Gate. The setup, the bar seats, and the fancy lights take more than a normal amount of effort. I'm surprised there aren't more people hanging out here because the burger is good! I believe the patties are wood-grilled so you get that unique touch of flavor in your meat. I've also noticed that they source their ingredients locally. The sauces are homegrown as well. You place the order at the front and the staff delivers it to you when ready. It takes a good amount of time like a good, fresh burger should. My usual go-to is the obvious "Charr" burger. LOL It's so good! One thing I can only complain about is the price of the sides and drinks. I pay $10 ish for the burger itself. If you add fries and a drink, it gets close to $20 something. I wish there was a combo option for a more reasonable price. I usually grab a Charr burger and a ShareTea next door for the same price. That's a better deal to me. Another thing I can nitpick is that the place isn't lively if you know what I mean. Long story short, I'd still pick Charred over any other burger joints in the Herndon/Reston area. I'm going to Red Robins in Chantilly if I'm into a combo deal with a double-calorie count.

    Fairly quick walk up service

    Great burgers and fries! Hand crafted burgers cooked over a wood fired grill. Artisan bread, fresh veggies, and a smoky sweet special sauce that could make a roof shingle taste good. simple walk up counter service, and clean minimalist decor. Between the juicy burger and the sauce, it's messy in the best possible way, so grab lots of napkins.

    Charred Burger and Cajun Fries

    I decided to get a Charged Burger, Cajun Fries and a Chocolate Milkshake. The food looked delicious and tasted even better.

    Grilled Chicken Sandwich
    Liz R.

    I ordered Charred for delivery because I was in the mood for a non-fast food grilled chicken sandwich and the sound of theirs grabbed my eye. The sandwich was fresh and comprised of 2 large charred breasts + homemade pickles but was unexpectedly slathered in a sauce that was not mentioned in the sandwich description. I also ordered brussel sprouts and those things were deep fried to death! I honestly think they were from the prior day and refried, so, I tossed them because they were sooooo oily. The charred corn salad while fresh and tasty was missing the cheese and tortilla strips as described on the menu as well. Probably won't order from here again but may give visiting in person a try.

    Cowboy burger

    Great customer service and there's not enough words to explain how great the food it. I wish I had one near me but I would definitely make the trip out here.

    The food was phenomenal everytime I visited (3x a week for two months). Nothing ever came out wrong…read moreeverything was delicious. But the thing that sets this restaurant apart in my eyes is the hospitality and the level of service the employees of the establishment bring. Everyone from the GM to the servers exude the essence of top of the line service. Quick shout out to Hugh, DeDe and there was server I can't recall his name but he was English, really just the whole staff. All of them really made my time out in reston special and if you're nearby in search of great food, warm smiles and good vibes then this is where you'd want to be.

    Yesterday during lunch was my first time dining at The Capital Burger. I was greeted well as soon…read moreas I entered and seated immediately. Very good customer service, especially by the management team and they were very present and made sure that I was enjoying my experience dining there. The ambiance was very relaxing and not noisy or chaotic. I really appreciated that because that is hard to find nowadays. Also, the table was set well and it was very clean throughout the dining area. I had their Roasted Wild Mushroom and Swiss Burger. It was very good. I loved that they use Pat La Frieda beef for their burger patties, the mushrooms were so flavorful from the balsamic vinegar, the Jarlsberg Swiss cheese had a nice mild cheesy touch, and their truffle aioli was the best savory sauce to complement it all. 9.5/10 for the burger and 10/10 for the customer service. I definitely will be back soon.
