This GA gas station has one of the South’s best burgers, Southern Living says. Here’s why
Georgia is home to plenty of burger joints — from big name chains to small mom-and-pop diners or a quick fast food drive-thru, a burger isn’t hard to find.
But what about the best burgers? Well, according to Southern Living, one of the best burgers in the South isn’t found in a chain restaurant or diner; rather, it can be found inside a gas station in Atlanta.
“The Chevron where NFA Burger makes its home more akin to a suburban single-family home than a fueling station. Yes, there are gas pumps outside and walls of soft drinks and candy inside, but you’ll also find it to be spotlessly clean with homey details like a red-brick façade, arched entries, and dormers,” said Southern Living writer Tara Massouleh McCay.
The burger joint, owned by Billy Kramer, opened up in 2019 after years of pop-ups across Atlanta. NFA Burger offers “The Classic” burger with American cheese, mustard, pickles and a special “Sassy Sauce.”
“The bun was buttery and slightly sweet, the pickles and mustard lended a bit of tang to the unctuous beef patties smothered in melty American cheese, and the sweet-but-slightly-spicy Sassy Sauce brought it all together without overpowering any other flavors. The real star, though, was the lacey, almost caramelized patty skirt,” said McCay.
McCay also noted the price, which was $8 for the double burger and an extra $4 for fries and sauce.
“I was pleased with the amount and certainly the quality of the food for the price,” she said.
NFA Burger was also featured in Food & Wine, Reader’s Digest, Thrillist and Business Insider.
