Westside Burgers — Restaurant in Suffolk

Super awesome venue & tasty food! This place is a fun hangout spot & I absolutely love that they have a separate (yet close) area for children to play. Being that so many people (including us) in the area are transplants with no childcare, it’s AMAZING to have a place where both the parents & children can have fun!

As for price, it can add up quickly if you customize your burger as every topping is extra—but it is good! Even the fries are delicious!

As much as we loved visiting, I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because of one staff member’s reaction to us bringing our children. We’ve only been once, a few weeks ago for a friend’s birthday dinner.

It was 3 sets of parents & we all have small children & brought them along. Two of the parents had strollers, both with babies around 1 year old. We also had three young children, ranging from 3 years old to around 6 years old. (So 5 babies/children in total & 5 parents)

We had reservations and it felt slightly chaotic when we walked in, probably because we were trying to maneuver our party through the kitchen while keeping the kids (& ourselves) out of the staff’s way.

As we were checking in about our table/registration, my husband noticed that there was a staff member standing off to the side of the others, observing the conversation with an appalled look on her face. (Name unknown, she had black hair & tattoos)

He noticed but didn’t say anything. We then walked outside and were seated at a high-top table in the back and the kids were so excited to see the cool set-up & everything.

They were not being “bad” or anything—just happy, excited children. Well, as soon as we sat out stuff down at the table, my husband went with our son over to see the play area & the same staff member that looked appalled that we even walked in in the beginning, proceeded to walk by our table and after she passed, my husband saw her roll her eyes, and audibly sigh/say something like, “Oh my GOD!” Or “Jesus!” (Something to that effect.)Basically, something to show annoyance at our group—who was literally doing nothing other than existing in the restaurant.

The kids played and had fun. We had fun. The men played corn hole for a bit & being that it wasn’t crowded, the kids joined in. Everyone had a nice time & our waiter was SO awesome & friendly. I genuinely wish that I remembered his name to give him a shout out. (White guy, probably in his 20s, smaller-size build, maybe blondish/light brown hair?)

The kids were always supervised as we are all very attentive parents. I could understand a staff member having that reaction if we were just letting our kids run “wild”, but that wasn’t the case. I even went and picked up/straighten up the majority of the kid area before we left.

Ultimately, we really enjoy this place! And it is kid-friendly despite the bar-feel which is great. I do suggest that the owner &/or manager remind certain staff members that people with children (& their children) should be welcomed with a (genuine) smile just like anyone else—there is a play area here...

Ordered burgers, fries & onion rings. Burgers were fair. Meat on my burger was undercooked (more steamed than grilled, pink & mushy inside) and not particularly flavorful. My husband’s burger was more on the well done side, but still lacking in flavor. Both were smaller than expected for the price point. Toppings requested (basic lettuce, tomato, onion & pickles) were generous, fresh and tasty, but not worth paying extra for. Bun was soft and fresh, but average. Would have much preferred it warm, buttered & crisped on the grill. Fries were hot, fresh & pretty tasty. I’d guess frozen instead of fresh cut, but that’s fine. A bit overpriced for helping size though. Onion rings were also hot & tasty, but not worth the $6 charge, IMO. Would have been nice to have a combo option. - Overall the food was decent, but we really expected much more at this price point. There are much better burgers in the area for less money. (The Farmers Table, for one…) - All that said, our server was nice and attentive, food was pretty quick and the atmosphere was pleasant. Were able to watch our fave FB team play while we ate. Think it will be a fun place to eat & hang with friends once the outside terrace area (with tvs at each table … & corn hole!) is opened up. - In summary, our first visit was fair. Not terrible, but not great. A tad too costly for what we got. We will visit again to try the wings and other menu items. Hoping the place steps it up a notch as it gains experience. — and it might be wise they scout out their nearby competitors? The place has great potential and we’d really like to see it succeed. — (Edit; After looking at other reviewers pics, it seems they received grilled buns and larger potions than we did. Our experience was not the same. Wish I had remembered to take pics. Maybe just an off day? Will def give them another shot to find out. Really want this place...

Soft opening…🍔

My husband and I were driving around looking for somewhere different to have dinner. When we spotted a cute place across the parking lot. We drove by to see if it was open and sure enough it was.

Right away, one of the wait staff found us a cozy spot by the window. She introduced herself (Regina) and let us know that they were having a soft opening and the staff are learning how everything is going to flow once they have a grand opening. Regina let us know they have already learned that they will need to have more large cups in stock and that the cups she has currently are small. So she gave us two cups of our beverage choices so that we wouldn’t run out so quickly. Which I felt was a good idea. We ordered our food and got our order in decent time, except for my 🍔 burger. My husband ordered the mango habanero wings with fries 🍟 and I ordered onion rings with my single cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled onions & mushrooms and mayo. They forgot my tomato, but it was delicious even without it. (Pics below - husband started eating the wings before I got a picture so please excuse the partially eaten ones🤭)

She came to check on us and informed us of what is still in the works of being built. She mentioned they will have a game area with corn hole and that they will have cabanas, silos with seating area in them for dining as well as a bar below. It really sounds like this will be a fantastic place to dine and enjoy time with family and friends.

I look forward to seeing this amazing establishment blossom. You should definitely check...
