    Lunch on the patio!
    Tiffany G.

    I don't even go out for burgers often, but this is a spot that I have loved every single time I've gone! Whether I've ordered a burger or chicken sandwich or a Philly cheesesteak or corned beef special (around Saint Paddy's Day), they have all been moist, juicy and phenomenal! The place is small and whenever we are there during nice weather, we sit out on the patio, service is always good and the owner is friendly. I keep an eye on their Instagram to see what the specials are because sometimes there's just one that I see that I have to try. They've won awards and I love supporting this Newington staple! I am also a sweet potato fry lover, so it makes me happy that they have them! But if onion rings are regular fries are your jam, then they've got those for you, too!

    Good Burger & Rival's Rodeo Burger were both delicious. I'd go back and try other stuff on menu when in the neighborhood. Service was warm.

    My son and I went to the DMV and wanted something to eat in the area. I had Goldburgers in my bookmarks for a place to visit, so we decided to check them out. We entered the establishment and were immediately greeted by the owner, Matt. He was very friendly and told us about the menu. My son and I ordered the Double Goldburger, which consisted of Lettuce, Onions, Pickles, American Cheese, Potato Chips, and Goldburger's Sauce on a seeded bun. We also ordered a small fully loaded French Fries that consisted of Nacho Cheese, Bacon, Jalapeno, and Sour Cream. The burgers were delicious and juicy. As we bit into our burgers, the juices flowed out. The burger was seasoned well, and the Potato Chips gave the burger a nice texture. The sauce was very flavorful and took the burger to another level. The French Fries were okay. It was small, and my son and I shared the fries, so a small is good enough for two people. In my opinion, the French Fries had too much Nacho Cheese, making them a bit soggy, but the food was delicious. The customer service was excellent and the owner was very friendly. I would definitely come back.

    Best Burger Everrrrrrr

    THE BEST BURGER EVERRRRRR. Once you try it, I promise you will be hooked forever, and that is a good thing. My husband & I LOVE a good burger, and a good Burger is very hard to find, but look no further; this is it: fresh, juicy, and delicious. We have been going for years, and for years the delicious taste and quality have never changed. The owner always greets us with a smile. Tell them Silvia sent ya

    When you convince your parents to get you McDonald's, they'll most likely tell you that "we have Mickey D's at home!". If you want fresh and really good Mickey D's, then try Goldburgers. Trust me, it is a solid choice over super-sized fast food for their good quality hamburger. I went here myself for the first time last Friday and let me tell you here... It is almost like fast food but it indeed is quick-service and for only a "thrifty" price, you can build in / customize a hamburger the way you want. Want pickles? They're really good. Want chips in your hamburger? Yes, they do put potato chips on your hamburger patty. Seriously, they actually do that. May seem odd to some but that's the way I like it. I had a Bacon Cheeseburger with pickles and potato chips on that sandwich and it actually was really good. Although not enough seating inside, there were plenty of outdoor seating during that beautiful Friday evening. Jill (waitress) is a wonderful lady who took time to provide us food and customer service. What a pleasant experience. I'd rather patronize this restaurant over fast food any day. Now that's fresh and really good McDonald's hamburgers that you would expect at this restaurant.

    (Last visited March 9, 2025.) GoldBurgers is everything you want a straightforward burger place to be! Here's why GoldBurgers is one of my favorite burger places in existence! Atmosphere/Appearance: Located right on Main Street in "downtown" Newington is this gem worthy of the name! There's parking spots along the front of the place, some more further down in front of other places and of course the big parking lot behind the spot. Once inside it's pretty straightforward. There are some tables right up against the window then there's the counter where you order. After that it's all tables and stuff. It felt like a nice, family-friendly atmosphere. Service: There isn't table service so you just order at the counter and the food gets brought out to you, no big deal. Easy-peasy. It fits with the esthetic of the restaurant and works well. Food: I've had quite a few things from GoldBurgers and they're ALL delicious. Above the counter is the vast menu with all of the options from juicy burgers, chicken burgers, falafels, hot dogs, sweet potato fries and the like. However, at eye-level there's a chalk board where the specials are! That's what you want! Those specials constantly rotate and they're all based off of movies! My latest acquisition was an incredibly spicy chicken cheesesteak based off the movie Hoosiers! So freaking good, filling and just hit the spot! I've had double-burgers here that had potato chips on it, chicken burgers and this place just does not miss! Value: It feels like an old-school burger joint so you won't pay more than $13.00 for a burger, but they don't come with a side. They're all separate, but you can make a combo out of almost anything. Super affordable food. In conclusion, I feel guilty for not coming here more often! Lol. That's it. I wish I did, but I will make an effort to come on in regularly!

    A good juicy double-decker burger that is well seasoned and plenty of options for toppings one quibble is that the buns should be toasted a bit to make them even better. Waffle, fries and onion rings were perfectly fried A good quick option for under $20

    Bucket list place, April 27, 2025
    Rich B.

    GoldBurgers had been on my food bucket list for way too long. Yesterday, I finally scratched the itch, and it was soooo worth it. Small head-in parking in front, but also spots in the rear. Seemed like more tables outside (7 wrought iron) than inside (less than seven). Extensive selection of burgers, hot dogs, chicken, etc, with interesting daily specials. And they feature CT-made Hosmer soda, fountain style! I opted for the mushroom steakhouse burger for 2 reasons. Yelp friend Jason P raved about it in several of his reviews AND my doctor wants me to eat more veggies, and this choice features BOTH mushrooms and onion straws. As an added bonus, I also used ketchup liberally on my hand-cut fries (ketchup counts as a vegetable in some school systems). The MSB was Dagwood-size. It was delicious. The fries (another veggie) were fresh, perfectly cooked, with a slight crustiness on the outside, and melt-in-your-mouth texture inside. In my Fries Hall of Fame. Also had a chili dog which was very good, although the MSB and fries stole the show. Overall, many of my Yelp friends rated them as 5 (Jason P, Elisa F, Tricia B, Des D, Dawn H, and Emily C) with two Yelp friends rating them as 4 (Tom D and Kara, who got a ROTD whoop whoop). I give them a solid 5. Service excellent, and wait time decent. One thing... their on-line prices do not reflect their actual prices. I would love to bring fellow foodie and best friend, Locomotive Breath next time as long as he promises not to use a knife and fork.

    Had to come try GoldBurgers with my dad and thought my burger was really good. They gave a ton of fries too, which I enjoyed. My only complaint was how FREEZING it was while we ate in the restaurant. I was shivering the entire time!! Service was good otherwise. I'd come back.

    I travel for food, and let me just say... Hands down the best burger I have ever had in the states!! I ordered the Rival's BBQ burger with a side of Mac Square and Braised Beef Empanadas, absolute 10 out of 10!

    Went to Gold Burger since I heard about this place. Went it and it was a small place. The selection was decent. I ordered the mushroom burger and my husband ordered a normal burger with egg. The order came out pretty quick. We had also ordered some onion rings and waffle fries. The mushroom burger was very juicy and flavorful. The onion rings were on point. It was a good choice for us to come and try the place. Will come again.

    A burger dive staple. Good, fresh, reasonably priced, and big This use to be a go-to spot for me for a burger on the trek home. The place hasn't changed much, but the quality has stayed as well. This resent outing, got a steakhous, Hrt, and the tso-ly loaded fries. Food came out quick, and we dove in. Just as good as my memories, seasoned patties nice and thick, juicy and topped with tons of mushrooms, cheese, and frizzles. The fries hand cut and perfectly fried. The loaded fries had these fried broccoli pieces which were surprisingly tender and the tops were very crispy. The jar dog was a very high quality dog, split and grilled with a nice grilled bun and ample amounts of pickled toppings. The Mac and cheese square was not great, not enough cheese. But we were easily full after the rest of the food. This place is not much of a looker. But the food is really good, the price is reasonable for the quality, and the staff are nice. If you get a chance to come here, then please do. It's worth the trek

He was truly such a vibe!! I ordered the SpongeBob, which was Goslings rum, pineapple spice, ginger, lime, angostura bitters. Especially with the show that was put on, my drink tasted even better. It was a Smokey, yet smooth and refreshing drink! We also got the Snow White, on the sweeter side made with Pear vodka, orgeat, pear juice, lemon juice, cinnamon. And of course, we can't forget our schooling in tequila and Mezcal from Agus. He was very informative of what he was serving and we tried a few different shots. He gave us the rundown of how you're actually supposed to taste tequila. And I have to say I've never had an experience like that before.

There wasn't any question going in what I would order. The hostess started things off perfectly and was exceptionally welcoming, setting a relaxing and comfy tone right away. The building has lots of charm. The dining room was beautifully and warmly decorated. They allow the character of the old house to shine. As for the much anticipated fish and chips, they were extremely well executed, and even more delicious. The fries were great, just fairly standard. The other components shined a lot brighter, for example the inclusion of minted peas was extraordinary. The "kitchen sink" remoulade in place of tartar sauce had to be darn good to make up for the omission of the classic, and it was. The coleslaw was also exceptional, creamy but still light. The fish of choice was a cod loin. That was the game changer. I find loin vs filet to make a world of difference. It stays far more moist, has more flavor, and has a much more pleasant texture for me. The breading was light and delicate, too. Every aspect of my experience at The Charles was excellent. I'm extremely anxious to go back. I have heard great things about their salads and appetizers, and they have a beautiful tented front lawn for outdoor dining in the summer I would like to try. Highly, highly recommend a visit. I would say it was one of the busier lunch services I've encountered recently on a weekday, so keep that in mind.

The layout of even the bar is nice with seats by the windows and plenty of TVs playing the games without being disruptive. The building is gorgeous, well kept, and I can see how this restaurant gets packed quickly! But back to the gluten free crab cake. I would have loved some slightly larger chunks of crab, it was the crispy texture on the outside and soft inside that made my heart melt. The cakes sat lightly on an aioli and beside some greens, and each bit was delectable and delicious. Lovely appetizer. I also have the octopus basquaise, and I loved it. The potatoes needed just a smidge more seasoning and were sitting in oil, but I cared not, because it was an oil with Kalamata olives and tart, and how lovely it all was together. The octopus was nicely cooked and tender and not greasy. The potatoes were a lovely vessel, and the aioli was not too overpowering. A delicious fish overall. The service was great, friendly, and you can tell they love their regulars. Everyone was on the move at all times and overall very efficient and kind. Tons of gluten free dishes naturally. I loved coming to The Charles and look forward to coming back later this week to try their actual dishes. But if the entrees are even close to as good as the appetizers, I'm sure it will all be delicious!
