    Truly hate that I'm paying 20 dollars for a burger meal but when it tastes as good as this, I can't really complain. A few coworkers and I stopped by for a quick lunch and I was pleasantly surprised. The food did take quite a bit to come out which defeated the purpose of our "quick" lunch but other than that, would very much return to try their other burgers. I didn't get the fried brussel sprouts but best believe I'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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

Fresh and warm, they had a crispy crust and a soft interior. They resembled mini ciabattas and were scrumptious with the butter. The salmon en croute blew me away!

Instead, I walked into what felt like a scene straight out of Ratatouille--an intimate Parisian French Bistro escape hidden in plain sight. Everything was exceptional: the ambiance, the service, and especially the food. Candlelit tables and soft French music from the 1950s and '60s filled the room, creating one of the most romantic settings I've experienced in a long time. The only thing missing was my beautiful wife! I couldn't believe I had the restaurant almost entirely to myself. I'm certainly not complaining--it made the evening feel even more special. Like Anton Ego discovering that unforgettable plate of ratatouille, every bite reminded me that truly memorable food doesn't require a professional critic's approval. It simply needs to make you feel something--and this meal absolutely did. From the incredible food and attentive service to the charming, romantic atmosphere, this restaurant earned a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. If you haven't been yet, bring someone special and experience it for yourself. You won't regret it!

It can be a bit overwhelming looking at the wall mounted menu at first, but give yourself a few minutes and you'll be pleasantly surprised. First of all, I really like that they show you how many calories each item is (I'm not sure if that includes salad dressing/sauces though). Second, I like that you can fully customize your salad and add standard things like portobello mushrooms and blue cheese. I also noticed that they serve a wide variety of other items which include bulgolgi and lo mein (My coworker who went there before me informed me that he wasn't able to get the bulgolgi on his salad despite what the menu said). Third they have a really sweet selection of chips and that means a lot to me for some reason. Anyhow, I ordered the East Coast Vegetarian Wrap. It cost about six bucks and was filled with a nice vinaigrette, avocados, tomatoes, lots of lettuce and some kind of cheese. It was a solid wrap, but next time I'll probably opt for a salad that I can build myself. Last, I just want to say how friendly their staff was. Seriously, the seemed to know everyone who came in by name and what they usually ordered. The lady behind the counter who saw me taking a picture of their menu smiled and ran around the counter to hand me one of theirs. Can't wait to go back and try some more stuff!

    Like Trios, but even better. Get ready for a bunch of superlatives…read more.. This place has some similarities to Trios in Merrifield. Both Heirloom and Trios are attached to--and share a kitchen with--a Roadhouse Grill, and all of them are owned by the same parent company. However, Heirloom is much smaller, which I suspect makes it easier to control quality. Based on my experiences--one visit here and many visits to Trios over the years--the quality of just about everything is better at Heirloom. My meal consisted of their Smoked Manhattan, the Burrata salad, and the Heirloom Burger. (The burger was so good that they named the restaurant after it!) The Manhattan was one of the best Manhattans I've ever had. It had a wonderfully mellow, balanced flavor that edged toward sweet, despite being made with rye. Maybe it was the aroma--and eventual taste--of the large toasted marshmallow suspended over my glass where the cherry would normally go? I guess, to be sure, I'll have to go back and order another. The Burrata did what all great burratas do: each bite felt like a mouthful of sunshine. The cheese, tomatoes, arugula, and balsamic vinaigrette combined to create pure culinary happiness. The only better burrata I can recall was at Mikrolimano in Athens. However, once you factor in travel time and parking, Heirloom is definitely the better value. The Heirloom Burger was absolutely delicious. This past week I've been waxing poetic about burgers because one of the Hackney's restaurants back home is closing after 70 years, so emotionally, I'm not prepared to bestow any new burger honors just yet. However, check back in a few weeks, and you may very well see this review updated to say that the Heirloom Burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had. Other logistics... The service was OUTSTANDING. We were seated right at our reservation time, greeted warmly by several staff members, and waited on nearly hand and foot by Alex. She explained the menu, helped us select our beverages, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the meal. It was attentive service without ever feeling intrusive. Parking is free after 5 and on weekends in a multi-story garage about half a block away. Happy hour is 5-7. They call Heirloom a speakeasy, but it feels more like a small restaurant with an eight-stool bar and a few high-tops. It's intimate compared with the Roadhouse, but not exactly speakeasy-intimate. And, finally, Heirloom is inside Roadhouse. You walk down a hallway, turn left into a very short hallway, open an unmarked door, and then go through a second door marked only by a red rose on the handle. I suspect the obscure entrance is their justification for calling it a speakeasy. But with food and service this good, they can call it whatever they like.
