    I've bought two Groupons to Burger Nuts in the last month or so and, aside from stashing my money under my mattress, this is one of the wisest investment decisions I've ever made.

    The burgers are cooked fresh to order, and ALL of the toppings are free, even the premium ones like bacon and guacamole. It's pretty cheap too, and a triple angus burger (3/4 lb.) will run you $6.49 with all the fixins' included. They also have kobe, bison, chorizo, veggie, and turkey burgers, and I can't wait to try the first three (veggie and turkey burgers are scarcely burgers at all, if you ask this connoisseur).

    So the toppings are great and plentiful, the bun I had, the egg bun, was the perfect combination of doughy goodness and fresh-from-the-toaster crispiness, and the meat is top-notch. It's so hot and juicy when you pick it up from the counter, and you can tell it's top of the line Angus. Really, really good stuff.

    At this point, I'd have to say Burger Nuts is #2 in my Cleveland Burger Power Rankings, right behind Moxie and slightly ahead of Brown Bag Burger. And of course it's #1 in my Reasons to Drive to Mentor power rankings, right ahead of...nothing.

    Good Burgers!! Good service!! Large selection of free toppings. The staff might tell youwhat would be good to put on your burger. It would be your own fault if you get tooo carried away with the toppings. Some compare it to that other place (Five Guys) But to me and many others that I've asked say no. Freshly made REAL potato fries oh goodne
    ss. This is the spot!!!! Try a few peanuts while you wait.

    We were not as impressed as others were. Maybe just an off night.  Our Kobe burgers were too well done and therefore a bit dry.  Somewhat pricey for fast-food but the topping options are awesome.

    Will probably try again just to give them another chance but won't wake up in the middle  of the night craving a Burger Nut!

    Burger Nuts used to be top notch. Better than Five Guys hands down. Unfortunately  now its just hit and miss. Mistakes with orders increased while the portion size decreased. The people who run it seem nice and I hope they can turn it around.

    Burger dry, toppings skimpy and not too tasty. Egg bun was burnt on inside. Fries limp and greasy, with lots of overcooked bits. Vanilla shake was good, though not a generous portion. Won't come back again.

    I'm a serious fan of this place. All you fools going over and giving Mike Symon your money at B-Spot ought to be coming here instead. Better prices, bigger burgers, just as good quality, without the douchey "rules." My only gripe: I never think about visiting early enough in the day to actually score the chorizo burger. They are always out when I ask. But, in a way, that's a good thing as it underscores the freshness of the meat being used.

    This local-local burger place is like Five Guys on 'roids!
    There are several options for buns, cheese, meats, and fried sides, and wait for it.....toppings galore! So much to choose from and so little tummy space.

    It's difficult for me not to love this place. When I'm having a fat day, I go all out...turkey pepperjack on multi-grain with guac,  a crispy side of onion straws with po'boy sauce.

    If you enjoy Five Guys, you'll appreciate this place.

    Gave Burger Nuts a try while I was in the area after checking out the other Yelp reviews.  It's a small place with a decor (and free peanuts) very similar to a Five Guys.  I was pretty impressed by the selection of burgers and sausages available: Angus Beef, Kobe, Bison, Bratwurst, Chorizo, Turkey, and Veggie.  On top of that, they offered three types of buns--egg, multi-grain, and pretzel--and free toppings too numerous to list (though there are some interesting highlights like stadium mustard, peanut butter, pesto mayo, ham, salami, and pepperoni).

    I went with a double Kobe burger on a pretzel bun with a side of onion rings.  I definitely wasn't blown away by the burger, but it was okay.  I expected the burger to be a little more juicy than it was, and I wish the 1/4 lb. patties were a little thicker rather than flattened out (kind of like the flat Wendy's patties).  The onion rings were decent--the serving is big enough for two to share.

    Comparisons to Five Guys are inevitable.  Burger Nuts definitely has a better selection of burgers, buns, and condiments compared to Five Guys, but I would have to give Five Guys the nod in terms of producing a quality burger.

    Mmmmm. Better than Five Guys, hands down.

    After raving about how delicious Five Guys was, my friend recommended that I try Burger Nuts in Willoughby. Burger what? And where?

    Off I drove to Willoughby, in search of a heart warming fast food burger. After passing the location a couple of times (there's a lot of signs on the road at night...for some reason I couldn't find it too easily), I finally made it in.

    Walking into Burger Nuts looked like a replica of Five Guys. Free peanuts and even the menu was similar (although it looked like Burger Nuts had better desserts). I ordered the #1 and sat down.

    Man, was that burger a great burger. Unlike Five Guys, the burger patties were PLUMP. There was two plump patties (making it 1/2 a lb?), with bacon, spicy jack, and all the condiments as well as their special Burger Nut sauce. And the BUN of that burger. It was so nicely toasted and reminded me of Chinese buns bread- not the normal smashed down buns of fast food restaurants of today.

    And on top of that, there are choices for FRIES. Chili fries, cajun fries, the list goes on. I definitely got the sweet potato fries. Mmmmmm.

    I didn't finish my burger. I was stuffed. At Five Guys, I devoured the whole thing. But at Burger Nuts, the burger was just too plump and juicy for me to finish it. MMMMM.

    If you're looking for a solid fast food burger, definitely go to Burger Nuts over Five Guys. Any day.

    Great place to get a burger.  They always have good coupons and have no problem taking them!  Many different toppings.  Staff is always nice and quick.  Decor on the walls is a bit tacky but i would eat there again for sure!
