NFA Burger: Discover Atlanta’s Best Burger

Nowadays, there are countless options for everything, and burgers aren’t exempt from this list. With hundreds of burger spots all over Georgia, deciding where to go for a truly exceptional burger can seem impossible. But among all the choices, NFA Burger in Dunwoody stands out as a must-visit spot for its delicious flavors and unique smashing technique.

This award-winning spot, founded by Billy Kramer in December 2019, embodies what a burger should be. The name “NFA” stands for “Not Fooling Around,” a sentiment that reflects the straightforward simplicity of the restaurant. A menu inspired by Kramer’s pet peeve of overcomplicated burger lists, NFA Burger delivers a no-nonsense, flavor-packed experience that’s all about quality.

What’s more, the menu also features sausages and hot dogs, alongside irresistible Belgian waffles flown in from Belgium and housemade cinnamon sugar twists!

At the heart of NFA Burger’s smashed burger, lies the Maillard reaction—a cooking method that creates the perfect sear and locks in savory flavors. The result is a perfectly smashed burger with a nice rich crust. During my recent trip, I had an exciting opportunity to make my own burger under Kramer’s guidance and experience the smashing and Maillard process first-hand—which proved to take a bit more strength than I was expecting.

I got to make the burger all guests are encouraged to try, “Billy’s Classic Burger,” which is a tasteful combination of mustard, pickles, cheese, and of course, the signature sassy sauce.

This signature sassy sauce, a tribute to Kramer’s daughter, elevates each bite with its bold flavor and serves as the perfect dipping sauce for a side of tots!

From its humble beginnings as an Instagram account @billysburgers to its status as a beloved local gem, NFA Burger embodies what it means to create a dining experience rooted in authenticity, care, and flavor. Don’t just take my word for it—stop by and see why NFA Burger continues to win over the hearts (and taste buds) of Atlantans.
