Big Burger Spot — Restaurant in Greensboro

Being unabashedly unironic is a calculated risk in today’s world, but Big Burger Spot shows that every once in a while, you can get by with being what you say you are. True to the name, you can get big burgers here (exactly how big depends on the limitations of your wallet and your appetite), but variety and execution, rather than size, are the main drawing points.

Though limited compared to the cornucopian likes of Hop’s, Big Burger Spot offers quite a decent selection. You can get Angus beef, turkey, veggie, or (for an upcharge) bison patties on brioche or multigrain buns in third-pound (Almost Big) or half-pound (Big) iterations, with double the meat and toppings (Colossal) if you are feeling truly glutinous. The offerings range from the classic cheeseburger to regional offerings (Carolina pork BBQ, Texas beef brisket, Mediterranean hummus and yogurt, etc.), and you can always build your own. The fry selection is similarly rewarding and encompasses everything from the traditional (regular or sweet potato) to the decadent (white truffle Parmesan) to the heartburn-inducing (fully loaded nacho fries). You would be hard pressed NOT to find something that catches your eye here.

The execution had a few hiccups, but the results were still better than most burger joint offerings. I went with a Lonestar burger (brisket/pepperjack/crispy onions) and declined the optional jalapeno relish; BBQ sauce made for a better fit. My companion opted for a mushroom Swiss burger, and we split an order of pesto garlic aioli fries. Both burgers were ordered medium and came out juicy and covered with flavorful toppings – the mushrooms in particular were above-par. However, my companion questioned the lack of a sesame bun and found the croissant-like brioche somewhat offputting. The fries certainly weren’t lacking in seasoning but weren’t as strong as expected: they fell into the “infused” rather than the “slathered” category. Still, they made for a good pairing.

Big Burger Spot’s pricing is fair for the quality of ingredients used. The “Almost” burgers ranged from $5 to $7 without any sides and fries were in the $2 to $4.69 range. If you’re accustomed to fast food burger pricing, that will seem steep, but it compares quite favorably to “boutique” burgers around town.

In another place or another time, Big Burger Spot would clearly stand out as THE burger destination. But this being Greensboro, Hop’s has that distinction locked down for the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, Big Burger Spot – faster, more casual, and slightly cheaper – makes for a compelling...

I can't imagine how i can begin to explain the heavenly aroma that strikes you when you pull in to this location. When you enter through the doors, you will be pleasantly surprised with the amble seating, cleanliness and expressive menu. This place was so appetizing, that we returned the very next day for dinner. Here's a few recommendations: The Hawaiian Grilled Chicken Sandwich-Yes i know ...it's grilled chicken at a burger restaurant, but let me explain- It's delicious tender chicken breast slathered in a tangy and savory teriyaki glaze, topped with juicy pork tenderloin, sweet pineapple, cheese, and whatever other toppings you request(i loved mine with red onion)It was DECADENT messy goodness. My husband ordered the Sriracha Burger which came topped with a fried egg. It was smoky and satisfying. My mother decided on the Philly, which is Angus on brioche with sauteed onions, peppers, mushrooms and melted cheese. She loved it! We ordered Chicken nuggets for the kiddo, and they were hand breaded, perfectly golden cooked, he tore up the Garlic Parm fries too! The chili fries are stellar, The sweet potato fries are wonderful AND THE BANANA MILKSHAKE WAS LIKE A DREAM. The bottom line is: This is one of THE BEST burger spots in Greensboro... and other than food....The staff was incredible, quick working and polite. The Store Manager was super hands on, even stepping out to bus tables, refill drinks and greet customers. She made it a point to stop by and ask how everything was..This is a very attentive and incredibly kind woman...and you can see it in her work and in her staff's performance. They have our service 100%. We cant wait to bring our friends here for more delicious food and awesome experiences. Keep up the great work guys! Sincerely, One Very...

Food was great, when we finally got it. After 30 min of waiting I realized that 3 groups of people received their food before us even though they were behind us in line so I mentioned to the cashier that I think they lost our ticket because we didn’t get our food yet. They were looking for the ticket and husband came up and said “did you all really lose out ticket?” They finally realized that yes indeed they lost the ticket and instead of apologizing for their mistake, the cashier said do you still want your food. Since we have already been waiting 30 minutes and my 3 year older was hungry we said yes. Luckily they made the chicken fingers for my daughter quickly and one of the employees brought it to our table with excuse that their system is down so they have to write out the tickets. Well the system didn’t go down after our order, it’s been down so how is that a viable excuse? Whoever was supposed to write the order down either didn’t or lost it. Therefore it was a human error, not technology. When our order was done the female cook had quite the attitude with my husband. She said thank you to him for some reason and he didn’t say anything so then with an attitude said your welcome. He turned around and said thank you for the late food. Granted my husband shouldn’t have said that even though they did nothing to make their mistake right. As my husband walked away the female cook screamed “it’s not my fault the system is down”. Maybe not but it was still your teams fault for missing our order. With that said, we will not be returning...
