    "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

    Atlanta 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."

    I 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.

    The 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

    Everything 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!

    The 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

    One dish not to miss: The quinoa salad with lime-cashew butter works equally well as a light lunch or dinner sharing plate. Read more

    Few 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

    The 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.

    A 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

    Considered 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

    Great burger. AAAAAAMAZING fries. Seriously. I'll go just for the fries. Everyone raves about the quinoa salad...I think it's just ok.

    Don't want to deal with Holeman & Finch's overhyped burger? Get Bocado's Double Stack, a similar, even better burger you can get anytime.

    The deviled eggs are a great starter. Also the bocado buger or the coulette steak are great entree options.

    Best 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.

    Try 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.

    Their 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!

    Get 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.

    The most destination-worthy creation here is the Bocado burger stack, which has deservedly achieved legendary status among burger aficionados. [Eater 38 Member]

    The 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.

    Crave 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!

    Some of the best food that I have ever had. Properly seasoned, simple and elegant. Amazing cocktails. Even a standby like a Negroni was excellent.

    Love Chef Adam's updates to what was already an outstanding menu. Yes, the burger stack is worthy of cult status, but branch out!

    The burger is always an obvious and delicious go to but if your feeling adventurous go with the Pablano Sandwich! To. Die. For.

    The 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.

    The 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!

    The 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!

    Absolutely delicious burger. I would forgo the herb fries though, they're overpowering in garlicky-taste.

    The garlic herbed fries aren’t worth the upcharge; stick with the standard spuds.

    Yes, 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.
