NFA Burger - Dunwoody

NFA Burger - Dunwoody is a standout gem for burger aficionados and casual diners alike, nestled conveniently inside the Chevron station at 5465 Chamblee Dunwoody Rd. This unassuming spot serves up classic American comfort food with a distinctive twist that has earned it accolades, including the prestigious title of Best Burger in Georgia.

The focus here is clear: perfectly executed smash burgers that celebrate simplicity with bold flavor. Whether you prefer a single, double, or triple patty, NFA Burger delivers patties that are thin yet satisfyingly juicy, expertly caramelized on the edges to create that coveted crispy crust. Their signature Double Cheeseburger with Bacon Cheeseburger is a masterpiece in balance — juicy meat, melted cheese, crunchy pickles, and the subtle tang of their house sauce all nestling on a soft, fresh Liege waffle bun that adds just the right amount of sweetness and texture.

Beyond burgers, the menu offers irresistible sides and unique specialties that elevate the experience. The Tater Tots are a fan favorite: golden, crispy, and perfectly seasoned, they’re the ideal companion to any burger. The “House Chips,” deep-fried in savory beef tallow and dusted with a sweet yet kicky seasoning, provide an addictive crunch that customers rave about. For those with a sweet tooth, the “Schmoops by Jules” cinnamon sugar twists add a delightful, warm finish to your meal.

While the restaurant’s footprint might be modest — located inside a Chevron with no indoor seating — that doesn’t diminish the charm. Several picnic tables under shady trees in the back create a welcoming, relaxed spot to enjoy your meal al fresco. Staff members bring food directly to your car or to your table outside, offering friendly, attentive service that complements the down-to-earth vibe.

Reviews from local patrons echo the excellence of the food and the overall experience. REA Alonzo-Cedano praises the “masterpiece of simplicity” in their double burger, highlighting the perfect caramelization and seasoning. James Grant notes that the quality exceeded expectations despite the unconventional location, especially loving the tater tots. J Vignati calls out the “great cut of beef” and the “extra crispy” crinkle fries, appreciating the charming picnic setting. Even first-timers like Eric Hancock are drawn back for another round, citing the fresh buns and flavorful patties enhanced by NFA’s Sassy sauce.

NFA Burger - Dunwoody is not just a quick stop for gas station grub; it’s a destination for anyone craving an honest-to-goodness, expertly crafted American burger.
