My boyfriend and I had lunch here on Friday afternoon. It wasn't very crowded and I hope people notice it, even though it's hidden near the train station, because it really is very good. I really wanted a strawberry milkshake, but the woman at the register told us their machine was broken. Sad :( I settled for a Stewart's root beer instead.
I had a plain hot dog and fries, and my boyfriend had a cheeseburger and fries. The total for this was $17, which is a bit pricey. However, the hot dog was excellent and the fries were very delicious. My boyfriend loved his cheeseburger. We were so full, we didn't even want dinner.
It's definitely a good spot, and the food is simple and tasty. It's a bit expensive for every day, but once in a while, it's a yummy treat. I think next time we'll just split an order of fries! -

As the name states, they do have 25 burgers. Went one rainy night with the girlfriend cuz she's a burger fiend! We walked into an empty restaurant. The staff was hanging out the place horsing around. Kinda iffy walking into a place like that. But we couldn't turn around now they already saw us lol.
So we get up to counter looking at the 25 burgers on the menu. The order taker seemed like she was in a rush and annoyed that we were in there. She kinda got our orders messed up. I had the Bacon Royale Burger of the Month. It was a burger topped with bacon and a fried egg. The food was good. Sweet potato and french fries were awesome.
The place looked similar to Five guys kinda with the red and white theme. Had some old school photos on the wall, music was great. I would def give another try just probably not in this location. -

Best part of being on a diet.... the CHEAT DAY. Saturday Night I was craving a juicy and delicious burger, so I decided to try out 25 Burgers on the recommendation of Yelp Elite, Mr Michael K. He had high praise so I wanted to see what it was all about.
Immediately, I was a fan of the name ... 25 Burgers. Why 25 Burgers? Because they have 25 burgers to choose from. It's like the Movie Snakes on a Plane. What's the movie about? Oh, snakes on a plane you say? ... anyways ... I digress.
25 pretty unique choices on the menu, there has gotta be something for everyone. I had the Chipotle Bison Burger which was a bison patty with lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. The burger had some spices mixed into it that provided a delectable little kick after every bite. It also wasnt super greasy and made me feel satisfied without feeling bloated. On the flipside, my date had the Cheesesteak Burger, which is a burger topped with a philly cheese steak (these guys can be straight to the point). The polar opposite of my seemingly light bison burger, her cheese steak monstrosity was oozing with cheese and meat that made one massively delicious heart attack on a bun. We also shared an order of the sweet potato fries which were delicious, but more expensive than regular fries, which always puts me off.
I starve myself on baked chicken breasts and steamed vegetables for 6 days a week, so you better believe I'm going to go all out on my day off. There were a few more items on this menu that i want to try so i will definitely be back.
One thing to note: On a Saturday night at 8pm, this place was deserted. We were the only ones eating, which meant fast service! It was just odd.
Thanks Michael K for the recommendation! -

10 reasons not to go here:
10. Creepy vibe
9. Smells funny
8. Fryer grease not hot enough, onion rings soggy with grease
7. Fries crusted with "seasoning". Yuck.
6. Bathrooms dirty.
5. Staff aloof
4. Pot Roast is NOT a burger option! That's called a sandwich.
3. Too many burger choices, keep it simple. Do one thing well.
2. Buns were raw.Under cooked.
1. Everything smelt/tasted the same and remained on my palette for two days! -

Went to this place the second day it was open. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the manager (?) Michele spoke with everyone about the place and goals. Burgers were great...ingredients very fresh. Michele said call ahead and food would be ready.
Have gone back a few times after...Michele is nowhere to be found, and the gentleman who appears to be the authority figure there now avoids customer contact. Great burgers..."different" from Five Guys...you really can't compare them.
This place is just "Blah" and seems depressing when it's so empty.
Needs a shot in the ass -

Awesome addition to the new better than McDonald's fast food lineup. The burgers are fresh and made to order. The fries are amazing. The atmosphere inside is comforting.
They offer 25 and counting different burger varieties. There really is something for everyone. They even offer hot dogs if you aren't feeling like a burger.
I would suggest looking at the menu on their website http://www.25gourmetbu... to check out the weekly specials.
Oddly my least favorite burger here was Classic Cheeseburger. For that I go to Five Guys. -

The #2 burger at 25 Burgers was excellent... with just a hint of BBQ sauce, it was one of the best burgers I've ever tasted!
I regularly eat at the 5 Guys just around the corner. But lately I've been craving 25 Burgers even more. -

I love being in the know of the latest burger spots that pop up around the area. And once I hear of one, I will definitely add it on to my list of places to try. Enter 25 Burgers.
25 Burgers is located in the parking lot for the Westfield train station. My bf and I came here on a Friday evening so we didn't have issues finding parking; we found a spot right in front of the place, but if you were to come any other time, I could imagine looking for a spot to be difficult. Perhaps it was the fact that it was a Friday night or that it was drizzling, but the place was empty .. as in the workers were just chillin in the booths. Once they saw us come in, they got behind the counter. Being our first time there and having 25 different burgers to choose from, we needed a while to decide, but the girl behind the counter was just standing there, almost seeming impatient. We hurriedly decided on our burgers. I ordered the Mushroom Swiss and my bf had the burger of the month which was the Bacon Royale. My bf put in an order of Sweet Potato Fries which I quickly vetoed once he placed the order since I wanted their plain Boardwalk Fries instead. The girl seemed to make note of this however when we got our order we had both Sweet Potato Fries and Boardwalk Fries. My bf also ordered a water and the order was put it for 2. We didn't think to check the order because we assumed that our simple order would come out right, but obviously now I've learned that some people have a harder time of comprehending easy requests. When we were eating our food, luckily my back was turned to the counter but my bf said he felt like they were watching us eat - how annoying!
Aside from the annoyance with the mishap on our orders, the food was good. Our burgers were perfectly cooked (you're not asked how you want it. They seemed Medium to me which is how I like them cooked). My Mushroom Swiss burger (#4) had Sautéed Mushrooms and Melted Swiss on a Fresh Baked Deli Bun Brushed With a Hint Of Garlic Parmesan Butter. My bf's Bacon Royale (#25 - Burger of the Month) had Bacon and Egg. You can taste the freshness with the Bun and the rest of the ingredients - this all made for a good burger. The Fries were great too, crispy and delicious. They have Ketchup, Malt Vinegar, and Hot Sauce on their tables.
The place is very clean and decorated in red and white. There's a lot of seating and the walls are decorated in old Hollywood pictures. I also remember enjoying the 80s music here.
Good food experience, but awkward and annoying eating experience! -

Fantastic! We went for my birthday on a Sunday night, there were 7 people in our party and we had absolutely no wait in line or for a table. Burgers were insanely better than I anticipated. They definitely rank in my top 5 burgers of all time. Family friendly and a cute 50s era decor. Super awesome burgers for a good price, I'll definitely be back.

If it wasn't for the overpowering, zesty, mouth watering Chipotle Bison Burger I had, I probably would have given it one less star for inconvenient parking. It must have taken me 15 minutes to find a spot because it was either permit parking or metered parking. The staff could have been friendlier as well. I first tried the Mushroom Swiss Burger. After the first bite I was convinced that it was the best mushroom burger I had. I then tried my friend's Chipotle Bison Burger and from then on, my burger tasted like paper. Both burgers were top notch but the spices of the chipotle burger just overpowered mine.

So I've been the 25 Burgers in Bound Brook and Linden before this one. The food is pretty consistent between the locations. Being that the food is the same, the nice thing about this place is there is way more seating. It's probably got more seating than the Bound Brook and Linden locations combined.
On a sour note, depending when you go you will have to pay for parking. I once had to wait half an hour before for burgers there (it was a larger order of over 5). They also don't accept the loyalty card that Bound Brook does.
If i could give it 4.5 starts instead of 5 i think i would. The proximity to my home compared to the other sites pushes it back up a bit. -

I gave it three starts because the burger was excellent as were the fries. The service SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSSS. We ordered delivery, our entire order didn't come correctly, and we waited an hour for them to deliver the rest of our order. Food was excellent, but don't order delivery, and if the owner reads this, you really need to get your act together.

I usually stick to ordering whatever a place specializes in because it just seems like a wise course of action so of course when I varied from this pattern I regretted it. I ordered the crab cake, it was unpleasant, mostly meal/breading, it was literally drowned in this overwhelming mustard sauce and it looked like it was slapped together. I didn't order the fries but the person I was with did and she said they were salty and wasn't overly impressed with her burger. The nostalgic pictures and music was the best part, over-paying for eh food was the worst part.

Just had dinner there with my wife. We love the 25 Burgers in Bound Brook and that is where will continue to go from now on. I had my regular #2 The Bullseye burger which didn't have the cheese, bacon, and the fried onions on it. I went back with it and the chef said that it doesn't come with bacon from my past 30-40 times I have been to 25 burgers it does. The onion was not fried either and i just don't understand how you would miss putting cheese on a burger. He said he will fix it and when they brought it back it had a halfassed fried onion 2 of the smallest piece of bacon i have ever seen and still no cheese. Haahahahahah The high point dinner is my wife did enjoy her veggie burger but it fell apart while she was eating it. The cheese fries were good.
