Chefs FeedMarch 16, 2016"Their burger stack reminds me of the way a burger used to taste when I was a kid. It's simple—just a big burger with American cheese, housemade pickles, and a side of fries." Chef Jay Swift Read more
EaterApril 18, 2013Atlanta food writer Jennifer Zyman: "The Bocado burger stack is McDonald's gone gourmet. Just two house ground patties, gooey American cheese, and a pickle on a buttery and crispy H&F Bread Co. bun."
Meredith B.May 27, 2015I rave equally about the burger as I do the quinoa salad. So for a worth-it splurge, go burger and fries (and to bed, happy). For a healthier meal, go quinoa, kale salad, brussels sprouts.
Creative Loafing AtlantaMarch 16, 2015The Root Punch here is root beer for grown-ups! Dark Scarlet Ibis rum pops with Root herbal liqueur, fresh lemon juice, cane syrup, and nutmeg finished with a spritz, or five, of licorice-y Herbsaint. Read more
- Jordan MJune 2, 2017Menu changes daily. Catch the breeze outside & enjoy a beet salad, deviled eggs and the famous burger, washed down with a glass of 🥂
Ronda Harris, LNMTMay 8, 2016Everything was great... we had the strawberry salad, citrus beets, burger and rabbit. We ended up here by accident, but what a pleasurable experience. The garlic fries are a must have!- Creative Loafing AtlantaApril 25, 2013The burger stack is one of CL's 100 best dishes for good reason. Bite into the two house-ground patties topped with American cheese and homemade pickles on a H&F Bread Co. bun and thank us later. Read more
- Creative Loafing AtlantaMay 1, 2015Few foods are as enticing as melted cheese. It’s salty, gooey, buttery, and comforting. Bocado's grilled cheese sandwich uses Jack, comte, and fromage blanc; paired with a thick tomato bisque. Read more
- Creative Loafing AtlantaApril 25, 2013On CL's 100 Dishes list, the Root Punch is root beer for grown-ups! Dark Scarlet Ibis rum pops with Root herbal liqueur, fresh lemon juice, cane syrup, & nutmeg finished with licorice-y Herbsaint. Read more
- EaterApril 16, 2013The low key bar is home to a wonderfully diverse cocktail menu. Check out the Swamp Thing - a mix of rye, molasses, allspice, Laphroaig Scotch and flamed orange.
The Wall Street JournalAugust 3, 2014A neighborhood restaurant in a warehouse-type space. Everything is worth trying: the fish specials, perfect vegetable sides, crab fritters and the heirloom tomato salad. Read more- Creative Loafing AtlantaApril 25, 2013Considered one of CL's 100 Dishes to eat before you die, the roasted cauliflower and eggplant sandwich is a spicy, drippy, crunchy mess of a meal. Dig in! Read more
LaurissaSeptember 30, 2015Great burger. AAAAAAMAZING fries. Seriously. I'll go just for the fries. Everyone raves about the quinoa salad...I think it's just ok.
Serious EatsMay 27, 2014Don't want to deal with Holeman & Finch's overhyped burger? Get Bocado's Double Stack, a similar, even better burger you can get anytime.- Chefs FeedOctober 23, 2015"Chef Todd Ginsberg does everything well, but these breath-destroying garlic and herb fries are worth losing that goodnight kiss." Chef Richard Blais Read more
Carter NataleMarch 10, 2013The deviled eggs are a great starter. Also the bocado buger or the coulette steak are great entree options.
annie heckenbergerMay 3, 2012Best burger I've had in my life. Better than Shake Shack. Better than Corner Bistro. Better than Rathbones. Better than Winsteads(!!). Better than 500 degrees. It's a MUST.
Jackson ReevesSeptember 12, 2011Try the lobster rolls on Saturdays. The resto only has twenty of them per week, and they sell out quickly, so plan to show up on the earlier side (think 7). Lemony with a spattering of mayo.
Brett BeardJune 13, 2013Their website gives the appearance of a pretentious yuppie place but that isn't Bocado at all. It is a laid back and simple sandwich shop. Had the Muffuletta and it was outstanding.
Avoid the herb fries unless you REALLY love garlic. The regular ones are delicious just as they are. Oh, and don't miss the deviled eggs--SO good!
Deepa SubramanianAugust 14, 2013Get the cauliflower and eggplant sandwich--it's a specialty banh mi of sorts. Can only get it at lunch. Also the herb fries are great.- EaterOctober 4, 2011The most destination-worthy creation here is the Bocado burger stack, which has deservedly achieved legendary status among burger aficionados.

Bradley MayMay 31, 2011The pimento cheese and poblano pepper sandwich is the real deal. However, don't waste your $3 on the side salad -- so tiny it should just be included (not even worth $0.30). Deviled eggs rock.
Oakland CemeteryDecember 20, 2010Crave from the Grave: The burger is all the rage here, but another great option to try is the roasted poblano & pimento cheese sandwich w/ fried green tomato & bacon. Southern awesomeness on a plate!
Nicole KastenApril 11, 2015Some of the best food that I have ever had. Properly seasoned, simple and elegant. Amazing cocktails. Even a standby like a Negroni was excellent.
Delicious and beautiful restaurant. We loved The roasted chicken with grits and the Brussel sprouts with farro
Love Chef Adam's updates to what was already an outstanding menu. Yes, the burger stack is worthy of cult status, but branch out!
Kate LarsonMay 6, 2013The burger is always an obvious and delicious go to but if your feeling adventurous go with the Pablano Sandwich! To. Die. For.
George ChangFebruary 3, 2012The Bocado Stack is a solid competitor to the H&F burger (it's even on H&F bread!) but without the stress and hunger pains that come with waiting for a table at H&F.
Atlanta Eats TVJuly 17, 2013Bocado has quickly become one of the hippest spots in the city for its must order burgers and flawlessly crafted handmade cocktails. Read more
savoryexposure.comAugust 4, 2011The burger is a must-have - but the roasted cauliflower sandwich offered at lunch is incredible - for meat-eaters and vegheads alike. Don't leave without a cocktail!
TJMay 15, 2013The Bocado Burger was pretty good. I like the Herb Fries as well. However, I don't care for the homemade pickles. Also, the lemonade is more of a sparkling water spritzer taste.
One of the best lobster rolls in Atlanta and a must try meal. It is only served on Saturday night & quantities are limited. Get there early yall!
MikeJuly 19, 2015Absolutely delicious burger. I would forgo the herb fries though, they're overpowering in garlicky-taste.
Natalie Zambrano McNultyJuly 10, 2013Fabulous! The garlic herb fries are amazing! Split the burger and Brie and pruschutio all very good!
OMG, everything is good here: burger, deviled eggs, pimento cheese, lobster roll, cauliflower sandwich, EVERYTHING.- Serious EatsMay 27, 2014The garlic herbed fries aren’t worth the upcharge; stick with the standard spuds.
- Creative Loafing AtlantaJanuary 30, 2012Two freshly ground thin patties are griddle-cooked, giving the edges alluring crispy bits. Oozing, melting American cheese and a pillowy soft bun. Read more
Best burger in the city, but it's hard to make a wrong choice with their menu.
Atlanta Food Critic .comJanuary 16, 2011We enjoyed our time at Bocado and if you’re in West Midtown and are looking for “trendy”, you cannot go wrong with Bocado. We should say however, that “trendy” does not come cheap Read more- Dolores LoudermilkApril 16, 2018Yes, the burger is really that good. It doesn't even seem expensive now compared to burgers at other places even though it seemed crazy when Bocado first opened.
Try the American Kobe Steak Tartare - I was hesitate at first but it was amazing! Must try!
Maud EeuwenJuly 8, 2012Great cocktails. Add a couple of small plates, like the fried avocado with lemony goodness, and you'll be happy.
Kristin MoyeJune 16, 2013The steak tartar is phenomenal as is just about everything you can order! Love!
Ashley VanderpoelAugust 8, 2014The burger is amazing and you can now get a side of quinoa salad for lunch
Jim WhiteJuly 4, 2012Great atmosphere, knowledgable bartender, amazing servers, and a decent burger. Take care of the valets
