Oh wow! The Yelp reviews did not disappoint. Ate there for lunch. Decided to have the blue cheeseburger as well as the Georgia burger. Both of them are delicious and finish it off with a strawberry cheesecake shake. The meal was over the top filling and definitely worthy of a second visit. Prepare to have the messiest best meal you've ever had. read more

I ordered the Flaming Avalanche burger that claims to have Flamin Hot Cheetos and dipped in queso with Hot Cheetos dust. It had none of the above. It had some soggy hot fries and had no queso what so ever. Everything else came straight out the freezer and into the fryer. Everything that we ordered that stated was hand battered was most definitely not. The only thing Over the Top are the false claims on the menu. read more

Visited Over the Top Burger Bar on a Friday afternoon and wasn't busy, which I was happy for!! Our waitress was very attentive and the food was really good and fresh. It gives the feeling of a dive bar but maybe a little more polished. Burgers and appetizers were great, especially the sweet potato tots, parking was super easy and free. Definitely will venture back there again! read more

Over The Top Burger Bar - Unoriginal Burger with Tator Tots - Burgers Near Me - Buford, Georgia

This was my 2nd Burger stop for Gwinnett Burger Week 2026 and it was OUTSTANDING! The Georgia Summer Burger has pimento cheese, grilled onions, pickles, jalapeños and their signature sauce plus a beef patty. This flavor profile was so good! It is actually the first Burger on their menu for $13.99 served with the BEST FRIES along with a cup of gravy to do them in...delicious. Then there was a $1.99 discount so $12 but included the fries! Our server was AWESOME and the place is super clean even the restrooms. If I loved closer I would visit at least once a week bc they also have live music! read more

We used to love this place but sadly it has gone way downhill. Our last three visits have all been horrible and I think we are finally done giving them more opportunities to make it right. Service is so slow!! It took a while to get seated & even longer to get drinks. They do not have enough staff. It took us 35 minutes to get a drink last night, and the bartender kept looking at notes like she wasn't sure how to make the drinks, the drink was $11 very small, and not great. Whoever they had for bartender years ago was much better than she was, and then kept stopping to talk to people who were walking up to the bar. The fries came out cold. The slider burgers were good. It's a shame that service has gotten so bad. They also add an 18% gratuity tip without even telling you. Joy was a very friendly server and she is the only reason this rating is not one star. read more

They definitely embrace the over the top part lol. I got the footlong hot dog and it is huge and delicious. The shakes look outrageous. I didn't get one but they are enormous. Service was pretty good, no complaints. The place is kinda dark and bad like, but not bad. You can definitely enjoy a meal here. read more

"The best burgers are simple, juicy, and messy." - Bobby Flay Well, Over The Top definitely has the messy part right! The burgers here are piled high, and while that sounds like a good thing, there is something to be said about "too much of a good thing." At a certain point you've got to bring some utensils into the mix when the bun gives way to the sauces and toppings. The burger menu is creative and they offer an impossible burger as a vegetarian option. The milkshakes are the co-stars at Over The Top. Check out the pictures and you'll get a good idea of the lineup. These are huge and a lot of fun! They have a full bar and a great draft list. The restaurant could use a bit of a makeover. It took over the space from a previous sports bar, and still has more of a bar vibe then a restaurant, with a lot of empty space. We had two burgers, shared an appetizer and a shake, and two beers and with tip, left about $100 lighter . Overall A-ok, I'd probably be back for a shake, they are definitely worth the money, and the calories! read more

A great lunch spot! The staff is super friendly, and the burgers truly live up to the "over the top" name. Also, can't skip the funnel fries (so good but so filling!). The drinks are great too. read more

Nothing has changed. Still one star, at best. The only difference is now they put an automatic 18% gratuity on EVERY check... regardless the quality (or lack thereof) of the service. read more

Really delicious burgers that are large sized and full of flavor. Buford Blue and the Unoriginal are go to favs. The milkshakes are also massive and decadent. The lunchtime experience seems to often be light and reasonable for time to being served. They usually rotate through interior decorations based on the holiday that is in season. read more

Over The Top Burger Bar - Buford Blue - Burgers Near Me - Buford, Georgia

Wish I could leave a review of the place. Unfortunately, it might be the worst service ever. I know of at least three employees that were there. There were only three tables of customers, but for some reason, all of the employees felt the need to disappear. Got tired of waiting and left. read more

The staff are really friendly and helpful, especially if you have smaller children.( we brought our 2.5yr old with us) - they we great with our kiddo and so helpful with menu suggestions. The food is really yummy. Even our little loved her chicken and she is super picky with chicken Pricing is actually really reasonable for the quality of the food. It is a little divey inside and definitely caters to adults and live music nights, but the food makes it worth going My husband is excited to bring friends and try other menu items. I'm excited to other menu items next visit too. Support small business and check them out read more

Went here about 10pm, place was pretty empty, chilled, laid back. Ordered the smash burger which was on special and it was so delicious. Can't wait to go back! read more

We had a pretty disappointing experience here overall. One of the dishes with fried eggs had a very off taste--like old oil or an unclean pan. I stopped after one bite because it didn't feel right. Unfortunately, my husband ate more and ended up vomiting about 24 hours later. While we can't say for certain it was the cause, the food quality was concerning. The service didn't help either. I waited quite a while for my milkshake, and it was frustrating to see the waitress taking more drink orders instead of making it. When it finally came, it wasn't nearly as good as the milkshakes I've had here before. The quality seems inconsistent now, and it feels like less care is being put into the food and drinks. Also, be aware that an automatic 18% service charge is added. It's easy to miss and accidentally tip again on top of that. read more

This place is awesome! Reaghan our server, was super friendly and helpful in us making a choice to eat. I had the Bob's your Uncle Burger with onion rings and both were amazing. My wife had the Holy Moly Hot Dog with the fries. She said the same, definitely two meals out of the one hot dog. Thanks to Reaghan for making it a great experience! read more

There weren't many people there but the DJ was on point, drinks were like whoa and the food was everything! Burgers with a variety of toppings? Please and thank you!! Good options for us vegan folks too!! Our waiting had great recommendations for food and drinks. We really had a good time. I can't wait to go back!! read more

Grabbed a quick lunch at Over the Top Burger. Restaurant is dimly lit and nicely decorated for the season. Menu did not have a huge selection but not sure if it's because I was there for lunch. Service was quick as I was the only one there. I had the beach body salad which was drenched in dressing. I would consider the salad a 'half' salad since it wasn't that big. The burger was good and was served with season fries albeit soggy but nothing spectacular. Overall, just ok and nothing 'over the top'. read more

Karaoke on weekends. Drinks are not that great. Burgers are mid. Wings are the way to go, mini corndogs and the funnel cake fries 10/10.

Came here with some friends during the Christmas pop-up bar season. It was super cute with all its decorations. The ambiance was busy, but the staff was honestly great. Some friends have been before and raved about their hamburgers, which turned out to be pretty good and their milkshakes over the top. I was not a fan of their drinks, but overall, a pretty standard and sturdy burger joint. read more

Zero stars. Left after an hour and 15 minutes of no one taking our order. Major attitude when we asked if someone was going to take our order. Really odd comments about the local water quality being bad and the reason they gave us bottled water. The atmosphere was really awkward and weird. Other tables were also leaving because no one was taking their order either. read more

Perhaps the worst and most bizarre restaurant experience I've ever had. Went for a friends birthday, drinks took over 30 minutes. When someone went to ask the bartender where the drinks were she snapped at them. Food was cold. After talking to the server about our issues we got a whopping 2.5% off our bill!!! And to top it off the bartenders mom threatened us!! read more

We used to come in here all the time but over the last year it's gone downhill. The last few visits they were out of a lot of items on the menu and the beer selection was pretty thin too. On the last visit I think I saw a drug deal happen. It could have been someone buying a baseball card for cash. read more

We got seated quickly as there were only 3 other patrons when we arrived, but they did feel up fast. Unfortunately, it was one thing after another to cause this experience to be super unpleasant because my over sensitive and very strong willed so when he doesn't get his way or things don't go as planned it's just disappointing. First we asked about the "shake of the month" but the girl who seemed new or clueless says I don't think we have one. We read over the options and decided on the unicorn shake. I was frustrated she didn't ask anyone behind the bar to see if they had any special shakes since their menu says sand is about our flavor of the month. She just turned and looked towards bar and to be honest she seemed kind of new and she sat us so I thought she was the hostess. I proceeded to order an unsweet tea and specifically asked if they had sweet n low and she says yes. She brings the tea out and says I'm sorry we don't have any sweet n low, so I ask about Splenda or Stevia and she said no we don't have anything but sugar. I said well since you brought the tea already I guess I'll take a few packets of sugar. She brings it in a little sauce cup like I guess dipped straight from the sugar bag. Not very prepared for a Friday evening dinner crowd. Well literally as I'm trying to understand the first thing they were out of, she was the one behind the bar making the shake and it appears she's half way done as my son patiently waited because she had said it would be a little longer for it. We'll just as we look up she's apologizing and saying they have no strawberries and would he be interested in a Cookie Monster instead. He asked for some gummy bears in it as last time they had a dirt shake that was chocolate cake with gummy, you know kids never forget anything but unfortunately she says no they didn't have any. She delivers the less than appealing shake and was in a hurry as she had other tables and the restaurant is full and when she placed it on the table half the topping all fell off. Son had a major meltdown of disappointment. I politely told him we will get you more whipped topping and it will be fine. Please be understanding and it will be okay. Got him settled then the food came and I asked to switch to a Dr Pepper because I just couldn't get the tea taste well. She comes back and informs me they don't have any Dr Pepper they were also out of it. Got me a water and lucky wasn't charged for the tea. Son's chicken was super hot and she didn't warn him/me/us and he took a bite and screamed because it was so hot. Got the small popcorn chicken cut which didn't feel so hot on outside so I can see he wasn't prepared that it would be so hot. He didn't want the pancake syrup or powdered sugar and asked for barbecue sauce but said their sauce was awful and now he's ready to run out the door because he doesn't want to eat here but the guy at the pool table gave him a conversation and let him try to shoot the pool stick so he was now happy. Kids can adapt or collapse but it's definitely helpful if things go more smoothly to help cut down on the meltdowns for children with big emotions. To me this is a place that is about an experience and kids like the shakes and the food so it really needs to be a better and happier experience. I tried it out because I am in a mom's group and heard it was under new ownership so we wanted to see if it had improved since the last time when we came in over Christmas when it was supposed to have a pop up Christmas theme but again they had not set it up as it had been advertised so we left. I think we'll wait a few months to let some others come try it out and see if the experience improves because it's so close to where we live and many things we do in Buford but hoping for a fun experience not a disappointment. read more

I gave them 3 chances. The first time, we waited for 20 minutes to be greeted after being seated. We order receive drinks. After waiting 40 minutes for them to prepare the food (just burgers), we were told there were no French fries. An additional 15 minutes go by and they return with wilted lettuce for a salad. They comped 1 drink and we were fine with it, we just wanted to go at that point. The next time, we waited forever. Got our food and received cold dry boneless wings. The final and last time was during burger week. We got there at 8:00ish and they were putting up all chairs around us on tables preparing to close. They close at 11. We ordered 3 burgers. 2 from burger week and one regular. The burgers were not the advertised burgers at all and all had different buns. Looks as if they ran out and went to buy burger buns from a close by Grocer? The burgers were so off from what was advertised. The waitress apologized, not her fault by the way. Said the cook was new and the head cook was back there. They gave us a side plate with the toppings that were supposed to be on the burger week burger. Not a big deal but kind of if the toppings were supposed to be baked in. Just not a pleasant experience. I gave them enough chances. read more

I thought this place was pretty great! I loved how they were able to create something tasty and cool with a meal you can get literally everywhere. Inside is like a bar, you do have the option to sit outside as well. The waitress we had was incredibly nice. My husband got the Hangover burger and he said it had to be one of the best breakfast burgers he's ever had. You get two waffles as your buns, the burger, fried egg, candied bacon, hash brown, syrup, and powdered sugar. I think what makes this one different is the waffle and powdered sugar. I do have to say, they should probably handout wipes with this burger just because the maple syrup is drizzled on the outside of the burger. His hands got pretty sticky and couldn't touch anything. I got the Impossible Burger and it was so delicious. I'm not a vegetarian but I love that they have that option and it was tasty! It had the patty, avocado, pickles, lemon aioli, and feta. The way the avocado and pickle met and compliment each other was so good. Their fries are soooooo good. Especially with the ranch sauce that they serve. We didn't get any of their shareable fries just because we figured the burgers would fill us up and they did! Overall, it's a cool place to check out and we will definitely be back!! read more

I've been under the weather for a minute and haven't been going out that much. However, the family has given me the side eye for a couple of weeks, so I had to get them out of the house. My mini-me told me about this place. So in the same fashion and tradition, my mom had with me. My daughter and I try to go out once a month to a place we've never patronized. The establishment doesn't look like much from the outside, but by the number of cars in the parking lot, I can honestly say this place did not need any fancy pomp and circumstance to gain attention. When we entered, we were greeted immediately and shown to our seats. We asked to sit towards the rear of the burger bar because they had live music. We were seated in George's section. We told him it was our first visit, and he was just as new as we were. He only had twelve days in, as he advised that it was his thirteenth day on the job. That being said, other than him telling us, we would have never known he was new to the job. I'm a big fan of customer service, and because this was our first time, we had a lot of questions. George was very patient even with us asking about most of the menu. At the end of it all, we ordered the "Buford Blue," "Pop Cone Chicken," "Unoriginal Burger," and my favorite, "Georgia Summer." My entire party enjoyed their meals, but ain't no way their burger was as SCRUMPTIOUS as mine was.... GOOD LAWD! I had the Georgia Summer... It's two patties with peach-jalapeno chutney, grilled onions, pickles, onion, and sig sauce. LAWD... word of advice. Save a piece of your bun to sop up that sauce at the end! YEAP, it's worth it! For my first time, this place was vibrant and family-oriented, and most importantly, the staff and patrons were extremely friendly--my kind of place. Since I am working on my dad bod, I didn't partake in any adult beverages, but sheesh, the number of taps and drinks available will make you so indecisive that it may take you the entire evening to select your drink. We will certainly be back (I know I said we try to choose a place we've never patronized, but this is an exception to the rule!) You all should certainly check them out. When you do, tell 'em Drew sent ya! Yall be easy! Drew read more

Over The Top Burger Bar - Menu - Burgers Near Me - Buford, Georgia

My wife and I went for their christmas pop up. Really strange experience. Place has a weird, uncomfortable vibe. Its a large room with very few tables, lots of empty space. Each table was being used but the room felt empty. I thought they'd have christmas music or something, but it was quiet. Forks came in a paper sleeve and my fork had what looked like a big glob of wet cheese on it. I wanted to leave but my wife said "we're here, let's give it a shot." So we ordered Jalapeño poppers which were warm on the outside and cold in the middle. Waitress took them back and microwaved them bc they were still warm on the outside and hot inside. I had to ask for a plate and she brought just that... one plate for 2 people. We both ordered burgers that were overcooked. Onion rings were good. But that was it. $50 + tip for that. Oh, and even tho they have a neon Keno sign and machines, dont ask where the game is being displayed bc the waitress doesnt know and had to ask if they even had Keno. Definitely won't be back. I dont write reviews, but this was just such an awful waste of money that I felt I had to. read more

Went with my nephew...worst $67 bucks spent. Ordered 2 burgers off their Christmas special menu.. jalapeño poppers, 2 sodas, fries, and onion rings. Burgers were overly saturated in grease. My nephews burger bun fell apart became mush b/c it was that saturated in grease. The burgers were salty and just a mess. The only thing worth eating were the poppers. Had to walk to the bar for silverware after waiting for waiter. Had to walk a 2nd time for napkins.. Waste of money. Ended up throwing away the over priced burgers. Disappointed after hearing the rave about this place for years. read more

The service is lacking. My wife and I were there on an empty Tuesday night. It was just us and one other couple. Our waiter greeted us with a mumble and a 1000 yard stare. We started by ordering our drinks and a starter . Simple enough. Took the drinks about 15 minutes. We ordered our dinner. About another 40 minutes the food came with the starter we ordered nearly hour ago. The waiter never checked in on us for a refill or to see how things were. We eat out a lot and we're always forgiving, pleasant with staff, and tip well. This case, I was already planning on not being so generous with tipping. Lo and behold, the waiter automatically added a 18% tip to our bill! Explains the crummy service. Guy didn't care how he treated his customers because he's going to auto tip himself 18%!!!! Food was ok at best but we'll never be back here!!! There are better places to get a burger that treat their customers right. read more

Omg the burgers here!! They have such a wide variety of ways to customize your burger or pick off of their already fun and delicious burger recipes they have.

Over the top is an understatement. As a pretty avid burger enjoyer and critic, I find OTTB to be an unconventional and fun place to enjoy a twist on classic burgers. Their specialty burgers are unlike any in the area and are true artery cloggers. Not to mention, their shakes are just as over the top as their burgers. Very nice place to enjoy a crazy burger read more

You will want to read this all the way to end. It's shocking! I asked our waitress if there was a vegetarian option. I was told that any one of the burgers below could be substituted with an impossible burger. We thought wonderful many options. But nooo, Only if you want to pay an extra six dollars on top of the already ungodly expensive $16-$18 burger to begin with. Yes, you heard me right $24 for a vegetarian impossible burger. The same hamburger you can get at Burger King for six bucks. The same impossible burger you can go over to Costco and buy a pack of them . The owners wife tried gaslighting me by telling me that the reason for the huge up charge was because the ingredients for the impossible burger were more expensive. I'm sorry folks, but an impossible burger is an impossible burger, no matter where you get it from. They buy these frozen they're not making them. You can also get any hamburger made with mushroom caps at an extra five dollars, bison for eight dollars more, chicken , five dollars more and turkey five dollars more. So if you want any one of those kind of meats you will be paying around $24 for your burger they do not sub they just charge you more. Huge, huge rip off. I spoke to the owners wife, she really could care less, and explain to her. I have never heard of anyone charging an extra six dollars on top of the already high price to get a vegetarian burger. I said if you're going to charge me an extra six dollars for that impossible burger meat then I want the original hamburger patty that I should've got to begin with , Or I would like my six dollars back. So just to be petty she decided that she was going to give me the hamburger patty , instead of my six dollars. Now I know why ,when I saw the hamburger patty it was a complete joke , it was about $.75 cents worth of meat. The kids burger at McDonald's has more meat than this sad little Patty and this is what they are charging you $16-$18 for. She knew that it was better for her to give me the $.75 cents worth of hamburger meat then to give me my six dollars back. She just lost all our business over six bucks. I had a chicken sandwich that had the most salty ham on it, and a slab of extremely hard pineapple, which I had to take off because I just couldn't eat it. There was so much secret sauce thrown onto the sandwich that the bun became impossible to eat, and I never did taste the chicken in the sandwich again , pounded out extremely small piece of sliver of chicken . The same with the other hamburger that was ordered at the table way too much sauce thrown on it and the impossible burger the same thing , way too much sauce. Everyone at the table thought the fries were OK, I thought they were just OK. We also got two milkshakes. They are glorious to look at, but in all truthfulness, Burger, 21 has much better milkshakes at half the price. These milkshakes are about 12 bucks or more apiece. I wouldn't say they are fabulous tasting, but they are fabulous to look at. Again cheap ingredients. Just a lot of whip cream ,not a lot of milkshake. I had two of the cocktails off the special menu because it was a pop-up bar. Again they looked cool one was supposed to have strawberry purée which it did not. It just had a strawberry stuck in it with a bunch of Sierra mist, and some alcohol the second one, well, let's just say that was a waste of 10 bucks. When you can go to Ruth's Chris steak House and get a prime steak burger for $16 , Or Burger 21 and get a choice of wonderful burgers without the up charge, why would anyone go here? There's a million bars in this town folks. This place is just not worth it. Will I be back? Absolutely not! We ALL are done! Now I know why they are called over the top. Because they are over the top on price! read more
