Burgers N Things

Really cool little place with a great view and great ice cream! There is an excellent road to ride a motorcycle on and check out the nearby scenery. My wife and I will definitely be back to check out their burgers, especially the bison burger. Prices are also not bad at all and the people were great!

I have been coming here for years. Very good food, entire staff is extremely polite and well mannered. A must eat if you are in the area. Very speedy and beyond what you would expect from a short order place with great menu variety.

Love this place. Staff was great. Food was great. Must stop on 211. Highly recommend.

Roadside stands are the backbone of American cuisine, and some of the best burgers and BBQ I’ve ever had have come from a little shack off some country road. This wasn’t exactly «best ever» material, but it was a solid tasty burger and salty, crispy fries that hit the spot. Sometimes we city folk forget about the joys of simple, unpretentious fare, but in a burger and fry cook off between this place and Good Stuff Eatery, Spike would have his hands full.
On the downside, my chocolate milkshake was nothing special, like drinking melted soft-​serve, and the food took way longer than you’d expect for a short-​order grill. The number of flies buzzing around the order pickup window wasn’t exactly confidence-​inspiring either.
Still, there’s a certain undeniable appeal in simple country food at a simple country place. Especially for us city folk.

Fun place to stop. It’s not super fast but it’s usually worth it. Make sure to get the chocolate shake!

I have been coming here for years. The food is decent, its definitely frozen like others have stated but hey, you get what you pay for. The prices are relatively reasonable in that aspect. I always get the burgers and they have not disappointed. The service is usually very slow if there is a line since theres usually only two people working there at one time (one taking orders and doing the milkshakes, while the other is doing the cooking). It IS very convenient on my way to Skyline Drive and I will continue to eat here.
Just be forewarned, if you go when the leaves are changing color up on the Drive, you may have to wait in lines up to an hour to an hour and a half.

This place will do in a pinch. Its a nice location with some decent people watching but its not really a go to place unless you’re really really hungry.
The service is great, but the food is pretty much frozen. Nothing wrong with frozen, but I can do that at home. On the upside, they do have a pretty decent pulled pork and actually have a bison burger. The burger’s texture was a bit too finely ground, but the flavour was pretty decent. Fries were actually really good, but not necessarily worth going here for.

This is THE place to stop on the way home from the mountains, assuming you’ve hiked your ass off all day and want something simple to fill the empty spaces on the way home. The whole point of this take out restaurant is its throw-​back quality… 1950 – 1960 walk up to the window and ask for a burger. Fries. A milkshake. And this is not a franchise, not a chain, just plain Americana with a teenager at the window to take your order. If you’re looking for 5 star cuisine, make your reservation at the Inn in little Washington, a few miles further down 211. If you want simple, stop here.

Yes, it is not Mortons nor is it trying to be. If you spend a day hiking and just want some quick good eats there is nothing better than their chili cheese burger. If you are looking for fine dining this isn’t your place but a good burger during the day no where better.

The food here will do if you’re in a jam, but it’s pretty much all frozen.
The ice cream (milkshakes in particular) is what earns the stars.

You don’t have chairs n’ tables. You don’t have ambience. You sometimes have to wait in your car if it’s raining. but, the folks in the kitchen are friendly. That scenery is beautiful with the Thornton River flowing passed, the wind blowing through the Piedmont below the Shenandoah. What you do have is a selection that is quite surprising.
Take their egg sandwiches. You can get it on a bagel with lettuce tomatoes onions, choice of meats… and yeah, it costs $ 5… And its worth every penny. As a Rappahannock resident, I can honestly say it’s one of the best in the county. Wanna burger? Veggie, and bean burgers for those who don’t want meat. Don’t want beef? How about bison or chicken? Some folks think their BBQ is the best in the area. Even the Tunafish sandwiches are outstanding! They are well prepared, and the place is relatively clean — all the way to the light fixtures. The shakes? Hand made, and yes, they take awhile — that’s a good thing. Thick and yummy. Is it comparable to its neighbor ten miles away, «The Inn in Little Washington»? No. But, you don’t start you check at $ 250 at Burgers and Things either! ;@) –P

It depends on how hungry you are. There are better places around and this place is usually a long wait (they have to unfreeze whatever you order, plus they don’t take credit and their ATM charges you half the price of your meal to withdraw funds.
A lot of people who cycle the skyline drive enjoy their milkshakes afterwards. Everything there is frozen food so… if that’s your thing…
OR if you want a homemade pie, just go to Rudy’s Pizza one block down the road.

I’m not quite as psyched about this little joint as I used to. For one, it’s a little pricy for a walk-​up window. A $ 3 burger here could be found on the dollar menu at the typical fast food chain. The soft serve ice cream is decent, but again, its a little pricy for what it is. It’s not Chik fila either – the teenagers working here are quite as cheery and if you don’t make your mind up quickly they’re slamming the window shut on you.

We look forward to stopping at this «Burger Joint» on our way up 211 to a campground we visit often. It is not always convenient to stop as we are usually hauling a camper. Last night, however, we had an opportunity to stop. Just as we remembered from other stops. The burgers are good but not great… paper thin but a good taste. Fries were good, we loved them!
The girl working seemed to be the only one working so it took a little bit to get our order but no longer than if we stopped at a 5 Guys.
I have only 2 suggestions for the owners… Get/​make patties that are not overpowered by the bun and periodically clean your picnic tables. Other than that, we’ll be back!

I’m always excited when I’m traveling and come across a unique, side of the road food joint. Burgers ‘N’ Things looked like it was going to be THE find of my recent weekend in the Shenandoah Valley. Not so much. It has a charming burger stand demeanor but the food left a lot to be desired. I went simple: bacon cheeseburger, french fries and a pink lemonade.
I’ve had better cheeseburgers at McDonalds, honestly. The meat was terrible quality and paper thin. The fries were Ore Ida quality and some of them were still cold in the middle.
Very run down (it’s old, I get it, but how about a little curb appeal?) and not the cleanest place I’ve ever eaten.
The girls working there will hopefully move on to big careers, but ladies, while you’re working your burger joint job, don’t sit there and curse and talk about your boyfriend in front of me and my family; unprofessional.
The girl who took my order was sweet and the food is cheap and rightfully so.
A big let down. Hold out for somewhere further down the road.

We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon, early in the fall busy season at Shenandoah National Park. After waiting 30 minutes and seeing only three customers served during that time, we were still six tickets away from getting our food.
Half an hour for a hamburger, hot dog and order of fries was too much. However, when I asked to cancel my order for a refund, the clerk immediately started stalling. First she said it would be right out, then that they were just waiting for fries. Finally she said that the food had already been cooked and I just couldn’t have a refund.
It had already been 30 minutes with no end in sight, so I ended up leaving without my food or my money. Since it was more important to make a buck than admit that I had been waiting too long, it will be the last ten dollars of my hard-​earned money they’ll ever see.

The burgers here are much better than at a McDonald’s or Burger King, but not the best I’ve ever had. Now the catfish, that’s a different story. I’m not a fan of fried catfish at all unless it’s from this place! The milkshakes are also amazing. I love how the food is cooked to order, but at the same time, I’ve never had to wait more than 10 mins. for my food. My family and I usually stop here once a year while traveling.

Never ended up eating here but anywhere this friendly with awesome milk shakes is a ⁴⁄₅ in my book. I’ll throw down that 5^th star when the make malted shakes.

Never noticed this place until today — so I’m not sure how long it’s been here — but it has been a few years since I’ve passed down U.S. 211 through Sperryville.
You walk inside what is almost like a covered porch and place your order at a window. I ordered a Bison Bacon cheese burger with Swiss cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, plus a Diet Pepsi.
Strangely enough, I noticed a zip lock bag full of water suspended over the Order window. I asked the young lady about — she stated that it confuses the flies and keeps them out. Okkkkkaaaaaaayyyyyyy.
Took about 7 – 8 minutes for my burger to come out. They cook it from scratch, so it takes longer than a fast food joint. I took my burger and beverage and went and sat at a picnic table sitting above the Thornton RIver, which was merrily gurgling and babbling as it passed over rock and stone.
Burger was very average, a little disappointing actually. But it was not bad, just not noteworthy. The burger pattie itself had that «wallowing in grease on a metal griddle» taste to it.
Steady stream of people stopping in here for food. Will have to try something else next time.
