When asked about my favorite Northern Virginia spots for pizza, bakery, brunch, coffee, and various cuisines, my usual response is a thoughtful, ‘Well, it depends’ or ‘there are a few…’—with one exception: the best Northern Virginia burger spot. Before the question is even completed, I eagerly proclaim ‘MELT!’ and stand firmly by that assertion.

Limited seating, both indoors and with only two outdoor tables, adds an exclusive touch to the experience. The popularity of Melt is no secret; it consistently wins awards year after year, and rightfully so. It takes the concept of a great burger place and elevates it, exemplified by their twice-daily baked buns and a commitment to local ingredients, including fresh seafood and produce.
Melt’s menu extends beyond burgers, featuring an extensive french fry selection that could pass as a main dish with the variety of cheeses and toppings available. A tempting milkshake list adds to the charm, showcasing the meticulous attention given to every item on their menu. Yet, amidst this culinary abundance, the true star remains the hamburger, with a plethora of toppings and condiments allowing for limitless customization to suit any mood.
Despite the creative embellishments, it all comes back to the basics. The real reason Melt’s burger is exceptional is the meat. Toppings enhance, but that initial bite is a tribute to the superbly crafted patty. This quality is what consistently earns Melt Gourmet Cheeseburgers its well-deserved awards. It’s more than just a burger; it’s a culinary experience that separates Melt from the rest.
While it’s nearly impossible not to overindulge, each bite at Melt is a joy. In a landscape where burger places line every corner, Melt stands out, beckoning you to drive well out of your way for a road trip-worthy experience.
