13 reviews for Burger Win
Let's keep it simple on this one...
1. Burger Win is not a fine dining restaurant. Do not bring your parents here when they visit town. In fact, it's probably best to only partake of the Win's goods when you're a little (or lotta) bit drunk and it's late.
2. Burger Win's food will satisfy your hunger. The servings are ample and the staff friendly as all hell.
3. Burger Win delivers! Ridiculously late! Tonight, I called them after midnight and they had me my food well before 1am. Granted, it's a Tuesday night, but still.
4. Burger Win is actually kinda delicious. I recommend the sesame chicken and the crab rangoon. It's a good deal, all around.
Keep these points in mind and you should know whether or not this place is for you. Now, I have some Chinese delivery to finish...
My friends live near the village and are big fans of Burger Win, so we had it delivered last night. I got the Buffalo Hot wings, and while they were good - tasty, crispy and large - they definitely weren't hot (as in spicy hot). Next time I'll go a level higher. Take heed, heat lovers.
The grilled corn is GREAT, and my friends both really liked their rather-large burgers (which they had never tried before).
That pretty much sums up my experience. I do know that the place is kinda sketchy looking, because I think my friend lived in her house, aware of Burger Win's presence for about 3 years before ever getting around to trying it.
Oh, and hey - late night delivery! I'll partake again sometime, I'm sure.
This place makes me laugh. It's name, location, and theme add to my chuckles...
A Chinese place called "Burger Win?!?" Yup! "And it is really attached to a gas station?!?" Yup!.. In fact, you would not believe how little they most likely pay in overhead for this itsy bitsy ToGo restaurant.
Anyhow, the BF and I went to the drive-in last night (The Hangover was hilarious!!!). We were running a little late so, with the help of Yelp, he came across a review of this place. I love some Chinese (in moderation, of course) so, Burger WIn it was. Boy was it cheap!
I got the Tofu Curry which came as a huge portion with white rice. He indulged in the Pork Pot Stickers and Boneless Wings. Still, I cannot seem to grasp why Boneless Wings are not just termed "Chicken Fingers" but that's another story. Both of his were edible, but not loved.
However, I did like mine. It had a nice spicyness to it, and could provide me the necessary caloric intake for probably 2 days (geez I hope it would not be more than that). At a cost of $6.95, it was a deal!!
We also split the Vegetable Egg Rolls which we both thoroughly enjoyed.
All of this was a mere $20 and only took (literally) 10 minutes to make.
Will we be back? Most likely- no (I am a loyal fan of Chin Chin when my guilty pleasure of Chinese delivery strikes). But, if you need something quick and cheap and are close by EAV, keep it in mind.
I've been in the gas station next door and never know this place was there.
I actually found them through this site.
It's really fracking good!
I had the basil chicken and an order of teriyaki chicken.
You could have easily convinced me it came from Chin Chin.
The basil chicken had a little kick to it and the lettuce they put the teriyaki chicken on made a nice wilted salad (seriously good).
I got hungry around midnight so I went to Burger Win. Unfortunately, my food smelled better than it tasted. The sauce at the bottom of the container was flavorful (and pretty good when mixed with the rice), but the food itself was strikingly bland in comparison. I did like the fact that the meal came with a larger amount of vegetables than I'm used to getting from Chinese take out, but they definitely went a bit too heavy on the onions and celery. Some people probably won't like that the vegetables come at the expense of more meat. I also ordered the spring rolls, which were terrible - they tasted sort've like flavorless mush inside a crispy fried shell. I would ideally like to give this place 2.5 stars, but since the spring rolls sucked, I downgraded rather than upgraded.
All that said, I'm pretty sure I'll be back at some point in the future for a number of reasons:
a) sometimes you just crave Chinese, and even if Burger Win isn't the best, it is the closest
b) sometimes you crave Chinese in the middle of the night, and even if Burger Win isn't the best, it's open
c) when sober, the place is only just okay, but I bet this place is fabulous when you're drunk
d) I wanna try the wings next time cause I would love to have a place close to home that would satisfy a drunken, middle of the night wings craving
I'd like to think that if I ever won an award for anything I would thank my mom, my best friend ,and Burger win(g).
I have their number on speed dial in my cell phone. I usually call them when I'm on my way out of the bar. The delivery guy has come in my apartment and chilled for a while a few times( sorry if anyone was waiting on food!). They know my name, my number, my apartment code, and my credit card information. haha. They are the nicest people and are always really happy about making your food and delivering it! To prove how amazing they are, one night around 2 am, me and my significant other ordered some wings, but come to find out we are completely out of beer! So we got the crazy idea to see if the delivery guy would buy us some beer from the gas station next to burger win and just add it onto our tab.....
HE TOTALLY DID IT.
So I not only got my delicious teriyaki wings but also a 6 pack of highlife. Thank you very much burger win!
There are two things on the menu that i highly suggest:
-teriyaki wings (they don't really taste like teriyaki but they are good as hell!)
-mu sho pork wrap (it comes wrapped up in a tortilla and is enough food to feed atleast 2 people)
-oh and i don't think this is on the menu anymore but I think it was called "The American Burger" and it was a cheeseburger with a chicken wing and a hot dog on it. YEAH...thats what i said.
Also the review below me says they delivery every night, but they are actually closed on monday night...they need a break too!!
My husband and I tried this spot based on the reviews from Yelp. I must say that we were both highly dissatisfied with the fried rice. It was very soggy and just plain flavorless.
However, we did enjoy the wings that came with our fried rice meal. Thank God we purchased a combo meal. Otherwise we would have starved because I took one bite of the rice and I was done!
We ordered the Jamaican Jerk Wings and they were very good. So, to summarize we won't be going here for Chinese food, only for wings.
You can't go a block on Moreland near East Atlanta Village without seeing a place like this: a scary looking hole in the wall Chinese joint that sells more wings and fried rice than anything else. Actually, the fact that it's a Chinese place doesn't matter. It could be a hole in the wall Ukranian joint and it will still sell wings to keep the locals happy.
The name cracks me up. When this place changed hands last year, the new owners took down the sign which read "Burger Wing" and cut the "g" off the end and put it back up. Hence, Burger Win was unleashed. The best part is that they use the exact same menu as the previous owners so it says Burger Wing on the menu. They must have printed up a ton of them before selling and the new owners just kept them.
Anyway...it's a good option if you need late night fried rice or wings. The wings are pretty good as far as wings go, and the family that runs the place is very friendly. The Chinese food is Americanized standards, which I get in the mood for once in awhile. They also sell Chinese donuts here, 10 for about 4 bucks, perfect for soaking up alcohol.
People always talk about how they love hole-in-the-wall joints and how many times the best food is the least upscale. If you're one who's uttered those exact same words, well I say put yourself to the test and check out Burger Win - they serve chinese, malaysian, thai, buffalo wings, and hamburgers and fries. Try that.
It's on the corner of Moreland and Mcpherson, just south of I-20. It's not a restaurant. You order your food at the counter and stand, or sit... in one of the 3 chairs available for sitting. Except if you sit, you'll be blocking the counter - so you stand. It's so awesome.
Nestled in between 2 gas stations, at an intersection with four gas stations, a Checker, a Krystal, and a Mrs. Winner's, you know this isn't Alpharetta. The neighborhood looks rough and around 6 o'clock, traffic is busy and people stand on street corners for apparently no real reason (well, I could stereotype things and I know why they're standing there.)
The lighted sign above the doorway says "Burger Win". The story goes that the new owners simply took the "g" off of the "Wing" and just put the sign back up. (Actually, they got new menus and the real name of the place is Burgers Win. It's an even better name since they primarily serve chinese, malaysian, and thai food - along with burgers and wings of course.
Owned and run by an elderly chinese couple, one takes orders and the other goes back to cook everything practically single handedly. Past the counter you can peer into their kitchen and witness a space smaller than the inside of a hummer. Furiously cooking both walk-in orders and the many call in & delivery orders, these people work.
Their menu is insanely huge. There are nearly 80 different items. If you have a craving for almost any food from Asia at 2:30 am, this is the place to go. They deliver until 3am, but the last order must be placed by 2:30am. They're also closed Sunday and Monday.
I ordered the chicken fried rice with hot teriyaki buffalo wings. You know? It was really good. This isn't fine dining but it's honestly much more preferable than going to McDonald's or any other fast food spot. Seriously, you want genuine hole-in-the-wall chinese takeout? Burger Win is the best place to go.
Burger Win, formerly Burger Wing, gets 5 stars from me.
I know, I know. What?!
This place offers everything from burgers and wings to Chinese and Thai.
I am giving them 5 stars because they deliver until 3 am every single day of the week and I love them for it.
They DO cook with MSG but will make almost anything without it, upon request (excepting Currie sauces which are made beforehand).
The veggie fried rice is amazing. Veggie spring rolls are fantastic and crunchy with yummy little glass noodles inside.
The boyfriend loved the teriyaki chicken and pot stickers.
Great prices; extremely helpful, patient, friendly service. Quick delivery.
Can't be beaten at 2:30 am. : )
My brother and I get together every Thursday to watch the ESPN Thursday night football game and my bro swings by BW to pick up wings on his way. They have been excellent all but one time we ordered them. What more can you ask for? The old lady goes to her sisters for Grey's Anatomy, we get to watch football and have some awesome wings. Life is good on Thursday night fo' shizzy.

This dumpy piece of shit has awesome wings. I'm not sure about the Chinese food, but the wings are… Read more »
This place would have received four stars, but got the fifth because they deliver. I don't understand why more places in Atlanta don't deliver but that is a whole other issue. Burger Win serves Chinese, Thai and American so you can please multiple palates from one place....and have it brought to you if you can't get out. Their wings are good though I don't tend to eat them very much. I LOVE their spring rolls and really have a hard time resisting them. I have had better Chinese and Thai here than at places you pay twice as much. They've also got tofu n eggplant and chicken n corn soup which you can't find at a lot of small local places. They are a really small family operation who will take care of you.
Burger Win- EAV has very few resturants who deliver...this my favorite for late night cravings of Thai or a little wings/ fried rice combo. The peeps are always nice and speedy. The General Tso's Chicken is my fav. They are much cheaper than Zifty too.
