The Burger Joint

We decided to stop by for dinner after rolling the dice for a burger and looking for a new place to try. It was disappointing to find the restaurant completely empty on a Thursday night at 6 PM. The restaurant has a charming atmosphere with wooden decor, bar signs, and plants all around, complemented by a game playing on mute. A friendly man seated us and brought out water right away.We quickly noticed that they offer a burger with peanut butter, bacon, and jalapeños (similar to the one that used to be served at Scott's Brewhouse). We tried the Indy Burger, and it was delicious. Our burgers arrived fresh and quickly, accompanied by wonderful, crispy fries. There were plenty of options for fries at no extra cost, which was a great bonus. We also sampled the churro filled with chocolate, and it was the perfect sweet treat. We will definitely return and hope to see more customers next time!

I've been bummed ever since Punch Burger disappeared from Downtown. But I'm glad to say the waffle fries live on at The Burger Joint. Definitely stop in here if you're on the mood for a good burger and amazing fries. Staff were super friendly and the whole place was clean and nice. The food couldn't be beat!

My husband and I wanted to try something different for delivery and decided on The Burger Joint. We both ordered the BBQ Burger which arrived without bbq sauce or fried onions. There was also about a cup and a half of shredded lettuce on the burger. The garlic parm fries were okay, but I would not order them again. The burger was decent. It was cooked well, but had no seasoning.

The presentation was horrible. I had to remove 3 HANDFULS of lettuce, onions that I didn't want and no sauce on the burger. They meat itself desired flavor ( no seasoning on it AT ALL!!) the sweet potato fries were bland too. I won't be ordering from here again.

Had a coupon for free burger with no expiration date and they didn't honorIt. That threw me off. So I opted to not patronize the business. They should have had an expiration date on the coupon! Ijs

Small place located near the Walmart at 56th & Emerson/Fall Creek on the near NE side. Plenty of parking. Very cute interior, maybe 2 doz tables and also a bar area. My coworker and I went around 11:45 on a weekday, so right before any lunch rush. There was one person in the bar area but we were the only others at that time. I did notice theyr wer doing some take out, too.Not having been there before, we asked our waitress what her favorite was and she said "it's all good" -- which is a "correct" response for staff, but really, we were interested in what she would personally recommend. So that didn't help us narrow down anything. The menu has salads, sliders, apps, more ... but being "The Burger Joint" we decided we should try burgers. I had the Hawaiian burger with regular fries, and my friend had the regular burger but wrapped in lettuce (she has to be gluten free) and the sweet potato fries. The burgers were good, nothing great but nothing bad. The sweet potato fries were kind of thin and not too flavorful. The star of the meal were my fries-- nice thicker cut and served very hot. (IF they did their sweet potato fries like that, they would be amazing!) Over the time of our being there, a couple other tables did get filled, but nothing too crazy. The one thing that mgmnt should be aware of is, where our table was, it was definitely competing sounds with very loud music in the kitchen versus the dining room music. Made it hard to talk, and that was without many other people in there! And honestly, our service was ... off. I like to give grace and you never know what is going on with someone. We were not diffcult customers, really easy orders and trying to be friendly, just not getting any of those vibes in return. Given the number of different restaurants we can try, it puts this on the "probably not again" list. One good thing was the burgers were $11 , so that was reasonable for the amount of food.#ReviewsByRL

Doesn't look like much when you wall by. But I was hungry and popped in. The ambiance was very friendly. The service was fast and very welcoming. CHICKEN NACHOS: 10/10SANTA FE BURGER: 8/10CHORIBURGER: 10/10 Fries: 8/10 they are greasy but very yummy!

I called in to place my order. I went in to pay and was greeted after she finished taking another to go order. While on the phone, she said I can add anything on my veggie burger. I added fried jalapeños and didn't know it was up upcharge until I got my receipt. They offered a black bean burger vs an impossible burger which was a plus. It looked somewhat like a mondo burger from Good Burger. But when I took the first bite, the whole thing crumbled. It wasn't well seasoned. They offer waffle fries, seasoned fries, tater tot, salad, or fruit for the sides which is a plus.

This new restaurant is located in an up in coming strip mall. They have decent sized private lot that it shares with the other businesses in the strip mall. They offer dine-in and take out.I liked the restaurants hip and trendy vibe. The staff there was friendly, welcoming and helpful. They have a decent sized dining area with tables, chairs and high-tops. There is also a bar with seating. The bar is not a full service bar. They only serve beer. There is a seated waiting area up front, with padded benches. Additionally, there was music playing throughout the restaurant. I was solo, so, I just sat at the bar.As for the menu, they serve salads, chicken sandwiches, sandwiches, and of course, exotic signature burgers. They also have some savory flavored lemonades. I got the mango lemonade and it was very delicious. Just keep in mind that you have to pay for refills though. I ordered the Choriburger, which came with fries. It took about 12 minutes for me to get my food and it was hot and fresh. At first glance, I was like, "where's the beef", but it was very filling and, in the end, I could not eat all of it. It was very flavorful and tasty. A very unique burger that I have never had before. I highly recommend it.I also highly recommend checking this joint out as well. They have some delicious food, first class service and amazing atmosphere. You will definitely not be disappointed.

If you've ever been to Indy's Burger Joint on Indy's southside, then you already have a good idea of what to expect from their recently opened sister restaurant The Burger Joint right at Emerson and Fall Creek Parkway in a strip center that houses Subway, ATI Physical Therapy, and La Cantina Mexican Restaurant. This spot is a little iffy already having housed two restaurants that didn't make it - Great American Pizza Company and Streeet Eatz. This is a super busy corner for restaurants with Lincoln Square, Peace of Mind Pub & Eatery, Hardee's, Taco Bell, and Burger King all joining the aforementioned right at this corner along with a couple primarily takeout joints - Golden Chef and Garrett's BBQ. The Burger Joint only opened soft this week. The word's not out yet. I'll openly admit that my 5-star rating is generous. I mean, hey, it's really just a burger joint. However, the atmosphere is welcoming and the service is super friendly. I'd probably call this a 4-star, however, in the spirit of supporting the new kid on the block I'm going with a 5-star based on quality food, fair prices, a good atmosphere, and friendly service. If you've been to the southside spot, then you already know this is a place that is casual but serious about burgers. The southside location reminds me of a Waffle House, but the food is quite a bit better. The southside location is definitely more run down and, well, dirtier. I would call it a relatively clean dive. This building really isn't that old. This spot is definitely not run down, though it's nothing fancy. There's accessible parking easily available and appropriate curb cuts. As you enter, there's a little bar area in the middle (If I understood right they'll have beer soon and hope to expand. I don't believe they have any alcohol right now and I don't see any on the menu) with a row of tables on both sides. The front window also has some high-top tables. There are booths and traditional tables and lots of spaces for a wheelchair user. The hostess, only in her second day, clearly understood accessibility and she and one of the servers moved a chair. The menu emphasizes burgers, of course, though there are other sandwich options, appetizers, salads, and hand crafted milkshakes. They do have iced tea and they serve Pepsi products. I ordered an "Original Burger" - essentially your basic burger. It says plain, though mine did come with lettuce, tomato, and pickles. The fries are very nicely seasoned. The serving size was decent, though not outstanding. I did get my always desired refill. My bill came in at under $15 without a tip. I think that's pretty good for a dine-in experience. These days, it's pretty easy to spend $10 or more at a fast food joint. For an extra $5, I got a better atmosphere, better food, and service. As Yelp Elite Jemmie likes to point out, Indy is heavy with burgers and this area definitely is heavy with burgers. Heck, it's not too far away to get to Culver's. However, I could easily see this place becoming a neighborhood favorite like Lincoln Square. While a couple restaurants haven't made it in this area, most of the restaurants on this corner are doing just fine. While it's arguable that we sure didn't need another burger joint, this neighborhood definitely needed another quality place to have a dine-in meal with good food and service. I look forward to returning. Welcome to the neighborhood, The Burger Joint!
