Amazing experience at Steeze Burger!! Staff is amazing and very welcoming, they make a very comfortable environment to enjoy my burger and the burger are so delicious the perfect quick to go lunch break meal. Would highly recommend!! read more

I'd call this an elevated fast casual burger spot. The woman taking our order was very friendly. The inside is clean and I love the neon sign logo! They also have really cool merch. I love the T-shirt designs. Upon walking in, it did wreak of smoke from making the burger patties and fries - so you might leave smelling like it, if you are eating there, but don't let that deter you from an enjoyable and delicious burger! The patty was cooked perfectly - flavored well, and moist. The bun was very nice and I loved the sesame seeds on top. The fries were very very good. I really loved the fries. I would trust that any Fry connoisseur would say these are up there on the list of favorite fast casual fries - they were super crunchy and enjoyable! They have condiments available in those small pouches including mayo, ketchup, mustard, and vinegar. This is a solid burger and fries spot! It reminds me of a good fast food burger but even better. I love how simple the menu is, you are essentially picking how many patties you want. read more

I was really excited when Steeze Burger got their first brick and mortar location. Named the best burger in the DMV by the Washington Post in 2023, we were ready, willing, and hungry to try their food. Service was great. We were waited on right away and they were very nice about making changes on menu items. One diner didn't want any onions and I wanted my sauce on the side. It took about ten minutes for our orders to be called. The restaurant itself isn't very big. There are a few low top and high top tables. The restaurant was bright with red and yellow colors. There was some cute wall art. Our favorite was the fries. We couldn't stop eating them. They were hot and crunchy. You could tell they just came out of the fryer. They were amazing. We really liked the hamburgers. We had two double burgers and one single burger. My group's consensus was the sauce on the burgers was a little too overpowering for the burgers. The burgers were cooked well and truthfully, there were no leftovers. We enjoyed our burgers. I would like to try their chili dogs next. But, those fries are fabulous! read more

The burger itself is decent, but nothing about it really stood out or made it memorable. I still use Shake Shack as my gold standard comparison for a solid smash burger, and Steeze just doesn't hold up to that bar--especially considering what they charge for it. My biggest issue was the house sauce. Like a few other reviewers have pointed out, that mustard sauce is completely overpowering, tart, and sour. It takes over the entire burger and drowns out the meat. The one bright spot here was the fries--they were great, perfectly seasoned, and super crispy. But as good as the fries are, great fries alone aren't enough to justify the price or bring me back. read more

Very ok burger. I was excited to try this spot after seeing all the hype but it was ok. The burgers are quite pricey and the burger was kind of dry despite how cheesy it looks. Not worth the price for the quality of the burger. Also the wait was kinda long. read more

Delicious burger in a relaxed, low stress setting. The menu is streamlined, so that you don't have to ponder too many choices. Super friendly counter service and the entire restaurant is sparkling clean. The burger is just divine - perfect ratio of bun, burger, cheese, chopped onion, and pickle. Most other places I'll eat a burger and feel a little queasy after - not here. The ingredients are top notch. This isn't the cheapest burger in the area, but it is the best. Had the old bay fries on an earlier visit and they make a worthy combo! read more

Happy to support local business! A food truck expanded into its first brick and mortar store. It has California skateboard vibes. Menu is small, but they focus on local ingredients. We enjoyed two single burgers, french fries and a coney. I wish I knew what was in the steeze sauce (my guess is mustard based) don't think I'd get it on there again. The coney was good but we still love Skyline Chili's coneys more. We loved how salty the French fries are. They sell canned beer and sodas. Small interior with a few tables to dine in and two gender neutral bathrooms. The layout is a little funky and long lines could cause challenges to pick up your food. It would be nice if they added outside tables. read more

Steeze Burger absolutely lives up to the hype. It's easy to see why this place has grown so much in popularity, it serves one of the best smash burgers I've ever had. The burgers are cooked to perfection with crispy, caramelized edges, juicy patties, and fresh, flavorful toppings that come together perfectly. The quality of the ingredients and attention to detail really stand out, making every bite memorable. Whether you're a longtime burger fan or just looking for a great meal, Steeze Burger is a must-try. I'll definitely be coming back for another burger soon! Congratulations to the team on their first brick and mortar place. Cheers! read more

The Grand Opening for their first brick & mortar in Potomac Village Shopping Center was on May 24, 2026. I was looking forward to it and wanted to support. Parking is free in the lot and shared with other businesses in the plaza. When I arrived early, no one was there, but that did change later - a long line eventually formed. I guess I arrived at the right time before their 11am opening. There is seating inside - 4 tables and 4 high-top tables in addition to several stools. A combined total of 30 seats. Lots of cool decor on the walls - pictures, news articles, skateboard decks. There is merch available to buy - T-Shirts, Koozies, to name a few. The menu is on the wall above in which you can order their signature burgers - Single, Double, or Triple, water & sodas - like their pop-ups minus the extra bag of chips. The burgers are a smashed patty with American cheese, onions and pickles, on a Martin's sesame seeded bun and steeze sauce. What is new to their menu is the Carlie - a burger with no bun, Fries, a Coney Dog (all beef hot dog with chili & cheese), Grilled Cheese (2 inverted burger buns with cheese) and Beer. When you place your order, you have to listen out for your name once it is ready. I already had Brunch plans elsewhere that morning, so I only got the Grilled Cheese (loved it) and my friend got a Single burger and enjoyed it. I will be back to get a full meal next time. This new location is open Thursdays to Sundays only. Hours can be found on their website. It was great to see Hunter and Noah among others, and I am glad they plan to still do pop-ups in the future. Excellent service as always. read more

A good tasting burger but if I come back, I would get the burger without the steeze sauce as it was more mustardy than I expected and I would get the chili cheese fries without the old bay. It made the fries too salty in my opinion in combination with the cheese and the chili. Service was fine. Plenty of parking. Not good for groups larger than 6, dining area not too large. read more

5 for the burgers. The fries are great when they're fresh. But can be a miss if not fresh. We just love there burgers. Def gotta try and get em with everything on em. read more

(4.5) ~ Very Good Overall Cheeseburger & Fries! This is at their NEW Gaithersburg Brick & Mortar store. MENU: ** Double = (4.75) Great Balance of Meat-to-Bun Ratio! This is the One to Get!:) My one wish is to be able to add Toppings like Sunny Egg; Avocado; Tomato; yellow mustard, etc., b/c if they did, I would give them a 5 out of 5;) ** French Fries (cooked in Peanut oil) = (4.25) Very tasty. Would be even better cooked in Tallow;) read more

I came to their pop up on April 11th and I was so excited I've been waiting over a year to try their burger and I finally have the opportunity and I'm so excited I ordered two doubles and they're truly just pushing them out. Quality is there by the looks of it they aren't rushing through the process and letting you know the time limit. 3 people on staff and they are movinggg. You have the option of a single double or triple burger. You can get a hot dog chips and a drink if you want. Customer service is consistent and great they seem very friendly upon approach that already tells you it'll be worth it. They plan on opening their brick and mortar this year so please take the time to visit them at their new location once open. The burger is thatttt double up on the Steeze sauce it's so worth it ! I will absolutely be back. My only thing is I wish there was a little more salt and pepper in the burger other than that PERFECT read more

There was a lot of fanfare around the opening so we decided to give it a try. It's fine. The space is oddly set up, with the bathrooms in a hallway leading to the register, where you order and pick up. They need some ventilation, as the smoke from the grill billows into the waiting space. They could have used an interior designer with space planning experience. The menu is sparse, and you can order a burger, a double burger, a triple burger, a burger without a bun, a hot dog, or grilled cheese, and fries. That's it. There is no lettuce or tomato, no mayonnaise, no option of cheese. The drink selection is like 4 flavors of Mountain Dew, a few sodas, bottled water, and beer or White Claw. I'm not saying they need an extensive menu, but the assertion seems that a burger comes in one setting. That would be okay if it was the best burger I'd ever had, but it's not. Maybe just because I prefer some mayonnaise and cheddar and lettuce and tomato and that wasn't available. Thankfully, I got the sauce on the side because it had a strong mustard flavor and I don't like mustard. I'm sure it's a nice addition if you do like that flavor. The bun was particularly good, but the ratio of meat on a single was off so a double is probably a better bet. The fries were good also. The staff was reasonably friendly. Tap water is available but you have to ask for it. They'd do themselves a favor to put a pitcher and some cups out front. The space is clean. The decor is cute. A little '90s skater retro. Plenty of parking. I think this offering would do well in a college town. read more

Heard this was the best burger in the DMV & I think they were right. I loveeee a smash burger and Steeze Burger's is so good. They also have excellent fries. The ambiance is very casual but I think they are still figuring it out (wall says "mural coming soon"). I want to come back to try the grilled cheese! read more

With all of the hoopla surrounding the Grand Opening of Steeze Burger's first brick-and-mortar location, I had to check it out for myself. I opted to hold off for a couple weeks, however, to avoid the long wait times. I went at the perfect time on Father's Day around 1pm. There was no line and got my order in right away. The cashier was very friendly, too! I ordered the Double Steeze combo with fries and a soda for $18. I randomly picked the 'Dirty Mountain Dew' which I was pleasantly surprised to find out was cream soda, my favorite! As for my order itself, it came out in less than five minutes (4:48). Impressive! The burger has two, perfectly seasoned, juicy patties. It comes with: cheese, onions, pickles and steeze sauce. It's delicious and perhaps the best burger I've ever had! I will definitely be returning often. It's no wonder it tops 'Best of DMV' lists. The shop only has a few tables but there are 'bar-style' seats for when it's really crowded. read more

3.5 stars with the long wait. 4 stars if there was no wait. If you're wondering if the long line is worth the wait, I would say not really. The burger and fries were really good, but I would wait for the hype to go down before going back. It's pretty pricey and the fries are separate. The sauce is a regular smash burger sauce and everything tasted good, but the combination of the long wait and the price was a little bit of a let down. They had a really good system going to keep the line moving and I thankfully only had to wait about 45 minutes total. Everyone was working hard and the line moved consistently, but the hype was just too much for what I experienced. There's seating inside but it's pretty limited. I like the location though because it's close to my gym and encourages me to burn more calories so I can treat myself. read more

5 stars, no hesitation. Hunter took Steeze Burger from a pop-up to a full restaurant, which is basically the most delicious version of the American dream. Gaithersburg finally got the permanent home it deserved, and the burger absolutely lives up to the hype. read more

Finally got to try the Steeze burger that I have heard so much about. Wish they had more toppings like veggies and stuff. It only can with cheese and sauce with a pickle. If they had more variety like lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, I think even more choices would be better. I love a good smashed burger but I am a fan of different tastes too. The buger was good and the fries were crispy, was a bit over the top on the price so that was the only deduction other than for the lack of toppings. Overall I would come back and the service was excellent. read more

This may actually be the best burger in the DMV. I am generally skeptical of hype, and taste is so subjective, so I went into my first Steeze Burger experience intrigued but not a true believer. I'm happy to say my skepticism was unfounded, Steeze Bruger is the real deal, and in my mind it clearly blows any other burger place around out of the water. What I noticed immediately was the quality of the ingredients. This is locally sourced beef and you can taste the quality. Apparently they mix in a special bland of bone marrow which gives the burgers this unique buttery rich goodness. The patties also have this crisp sear like with smash burgers, but are juicy and meaty like a proper 4th of July burger on the grill should be, and are supported by a substantial sesame seed bun that holds everything together. The cheese, relish, and steeze sauce, along with these itty-bitty grilled onions that explode like little flavor crystals, all combine into a symphony of burger greatness that earned the chef himself the moniker "Mozart of Cheeseburgers" (Iannelli, 2024). Every time I have gone the wait is 5-10 minutes, the staff are friendly and respectful and feel like part of the community, and the owner is slinging up burgers himself and showing his appreciation to the customers. I'm a believer in Steeze. Come out and support this outstanding local burger joint. read more

Came before the dinner crowd on a Friday and no wait at all. They have combo pricing now for $18: double, fries, and drink. Would like to see some customization, maybe different sauces or larger patties. The Steeze sauce seems mustard-based and I prefer something sweeter, but its still a solid burger that's really flavorful. read more

Got an email that they were doing a popup at the Mosaic District in Fairfax, VA. Line wasn't too bad when I got there but got way worse shortly after. Grabbed a single and a double. Took about 15 minutes to get the burgers but it was well worth it. Definitely can see why they get a lot of 'best burger' praise. Seeded Martin's Potato Roll, 2 good sized smashed patties (on the double), with onions, pickles, and sauce. Delicious and it barely lasted 5 minutes. Would absolutely get their burgers again wherever they are! read more

Overall, it was fine. Burger was pretty good and the fries were average. Soda cans were expensive like everyone else has mentioned. The space is way too cramped though. The line for people waiting for their food looked like the line to order. Both lines blocked the restrooms. Removing the high top closest to the front might alleviate that. If you forget to grab ketchup/napkins, you have push past everyone to get the packets by the pick-up area. They should definitely put some out in the seating area. Obviously they need to work within the constraints of the space but a few small changes would help with that. read more

The Steez Burger location is new, so I expected some growing pains, but the experience was disappointing overall. The wait was excessive. We stood in line for about 35 minutes, and when we finally reached the register, we were told it would be another 25 minutes before our food was ready. At that point, we had already invested so much time that we decided to stay. On a positive note, the woman at the register was very kind and professional. Once we got our food, the value just wasn't there. The $5.50 order of fries was about the size of a small fry from McDonald's. For that price, I expected much more. Even Five Guys is known for giving generous portions. The burgers were also surprisingly small, about the size of a McDonald's double cheeseburger, and honestly, they tasted very similar. Unless the beef is premium Wagyu or Kobe and the ingredients are sourced from local farms, I don't understand the pricing. In total, we spent nearly $50 on 2 single burgers, 2 double burgers, and 1 small fry. Between the long wait, small portions, and average taste, we left unimpressed and don't feel the experience justified the cost. read more

The new restaurant improves on the original pop-up, adding fries and other items the menu. The burgers were, in my opinion, better than the already excellent usual: the patties had noticeable char, which I appreciated. The fries were worthy of accompanying the best burgers in the area: crisp, tender, and traveled well on the way home. I don't normally wait in long lines for food, but Steeze is worth it. read more

After months of hype, I had to try this burger for myself. I waited 30 minutes for it and I don't like to wait but I have to say that it was worth every minute. I couldn't stop thinking about it for the rest of the day and beyond. I've been back twice since my first visit. There's something about the minimal ingredients that makes it a perfect burger. I get the triple burger with "everything". In fact just writing this review is causing me to want to get it again today. Hopefully at some point the wait time will start to diminish. As far as the ambiance, there is seating available but it's not very spacious especially between the people eating, the people waiting in line to order and the people waiting for their meal. Bottom line is this burger is a 10/10 for me. read more

I have been looking forward to a visit here for a while but never was around for their pop ups in my area. We were pretty early in the line and the ordering part didn't take too long if you come ready. We ordered for a large group (double burgers, single burgers) and do wish they would add some bacon at some point. Pricing for 6 burgers/doubles was around $60ish so it wasn't too bad. We did end up waiting around 30 minutes for the food itself, perhaps because of the bigger order. The way they write on the burger covers was confusing, I wasn't sure which had no sauce or sauce or pickles or not so we had to unwrap all of them. I did love the sesame bun but I will say, I was surprised that the meat itself felt a little tasteless, like it needed some more seasoning. It definitely lacked the crispness of a classic smash burger but I will say, the cheese and Steez sauce so bring the whole thing together (along with the great pickles). I think if they just season the meat a bit more and give it a more crispy vibe, it could easily be the best burger out there. They did slightly mess up our order, giving us a burger with no sauce on the side like requested and one double sesame top bun triple burger when we ordered a double but overall a solid spot if you get in the line early. read more

Not sure what the hype is all about. I only got a single, but the Steeze sauce completely overpowered the beef taste. It had a strong mustard flavor and did not complement the meat. The fries were also very meh (though the portion was generous). The people who worked there were very friendly and nice, but I can't say that I'll be back. read more

Amazing burgers! So excited to have them in the Darnestown area! The price is comparable to Five Guys but they are so much better!

Burger was fine (though I've definitely had better). But how on earth do you make a tasteless, TOUGH french fry? I don't get the hype.

I had such high hopes, but it's just overpriced stadium concessions. The fries aren't very good, and the burger buns are soaked in the sauce. They pass the credit card fee on to the customer (an extra 3%) so bring cash. Over $19 for a burger and fries (no drink) and then they want a tip too. As others have said, it's claustrophobia-inducing in there. I stood in a "line" for a while before someone told me they weren't waiting to order. read more

I so badly wanted to like this place. I was excited for their opening. Honestly, ecstatic is probably a better word choice. We waited to go until they'd been open a few weeks so they'd have a chance to work out the kinks. I will say, the entire process went smoothly. Ordering, waiting, and food pickup was down to a science. Everyone working there was friendly. The only downfall was the food. If you only do one thing, you need to do it well. Sadly, that was not the case here. The toppings were so flavorless I'm not convinced they actually included the sauce on the burger. The meat quality was on par with what I would buy at the grocery store. The fries were...disappointing at best. I hope to revisit this restaurant 6-9 months from now and pray they're living up to the standards established by their food truck. read more

Steezeburger now has a permanent location, so it's time to update my review. The burgers are still great, but french fries have now been added to the menu. The fries are excellent and live up to the burger. The new location could be larger, and even on a weekday at lunch hour was a bit crowded, but certainly there's no reason to deduct stars for that. Just be prepared for the possibility that you may need to wait in line. If you love, great cheeseburgers, the wait will be worth it. read more

If you want what has been hailed the best smashburger in the DMV then heading up to wherever Steezeburger is parked is the way to go. Simply seasoned, no frou frou pattie smashed, and topped with cheese and onions and pickles and a tasty sauce. It really is delicious and hits the spot. And if you happen to have a pupper with you they can make you a pup pattie for a fraction of cost of a regular burger. My dogs certainly enjoyed it. Get the double smash if you're really hungry read more

Steeze Burger - Burgers Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

A while back I went looking for the Steeze Burger truck and found it in Gaithersburg. It was a nasty weather day and I ordered a double. It was very sloppy but given the day and rush to cook in the rain, I let it go. The burger itself was ok but nothing to write home about. A little dry, little actual beef flavor. Fast forward to a few days ago when I visited the new brick and mortar store. Service was nice and easy, waited for my double with fries to be cooked. The place was clean. Once my food arrived, I picked it up at the counter and took a table. The burger was well put together and that sesame seed bun very nice. The burger itself was as I remembered. It was not flavorful. I'm not sure if the meat just needed seasoned, and I hope that's what it is since its easily corrected, but while not bad, it was by far not the best burger I've had in the area. It was just underwhelming and a little dry. I'll stop by one more time at some point to see if it's just early days at the store front. I wish them well as I try to support our local restaurants as much as possible. read more
