It's a really good burger place.  I like coming here when I'm in relatively decent shape or else I feel terrible afterwards.  It's not healthy food, it's just good food.  

I always get the Pounder.  Don't wuss out!  Just  get it for cripes sake  It's one huge pound of patty beefiness, and two warm well buttered and toasted buns protecting my purchase. . I do like getting the sauteed onions and mushrooms on top but after I get the standard lettuce and tomatoes on it the damn thing is about the size of my head.  

Nonetheless, it's a messy deliciousness that I really enjoy that is really quite satisfying.  Get the fries with it and if you dare, substitute the drink for a milkshake.  Ohhh joy.  It gets me right here- pointing to my heart with a tear rolling down my cheek.

mix a lil honey mustard, cheese onto a mix match of tomatoes,onions and jalepenos and you ahve what Fuddruckers has to offer.

You can custom your burger with the fixxin's bar toss on how much of whatever you want. Choose the patty weight and the meat has a higher quality than the typical fast food joint.

Try the 1lbs burger, it's filling... the break is also something I like about this place, flavorful.

I will be visiting again, but eating this everyday can get overwhelming.  Not enough variety,

ORDER THE DOGZILLA.

It is the most filling meal at Fuddrucker's, and much cheaper than any of the burgers.  The hot dog is HUGE and delicious.  The bun is buttered and grilled.  I recommend the sweet potato fries (50 cents extra), but the regular fries are good too.  The toppings are fresh, and there are plenty of sauces.

Okay, I've had the burgers too, but I don't think they are worth the price.  If I wanted a burger, I would go to Five Guys instead.

Always clean, fast, consistent, good service.  They play some good oldies that everyone knows the words to.

I came in starving from a day playing ultimate.   The 16 oz. burger will definitely tame one's appetite.  I really wanted to like this place because I love having a fixin's bar in which you can essentially make a salad on top of your burger.  Neverthless, I believe that I am the first reviewer who feels that the food just did not taste good.  The quality of beef was just poor in my opinion, even underneath the pile of peppers that I loaded on.  The onion rings were really bland and nasty.

OK, this isn't gonna be pretty.  The person taking the order didn't understand English too well. She was trying, but just didn't get it. We were there about 90 minutes before closing. Yet, (check the pics), the lettuce-tomato-onion bar was almost empty.  That doesn't look too appealing. Now, I don't want them to waste food here; that's not the point. But, when you the Yelper come in, do you really want to see a huge empty space where "free stuff for your burger" should be residing?
 Next. I go to ask if I could get a fork.  The correct answer should be, "I'll get you one right away", or something like that? right? Not, "did you look over there"? And, why would there be 100 knives, and 100 spoons out there, but not a singe fork?
 So. We ask for the manager.  The same gal who speaks limited english nods. 15 minutes later, no manager.  I ask again. no manager.  So, I use the cel phone to CALL the restaurant, and ask him to come out to his own dining area. He shows up, and listens to my thoughts.  My summary? A very good buffalo burger, good chili, but a very odd dining experience for an "upscale Burger place".  Why two stars?  The manager by himself, listening carefully, and asking thoughtful questions, and voicing his thoughts, earned one all by himself.

Boy, the way those burgers taste
Buttered buns, baked everyday
Cooked my way, just right - elate!
Fuddrucker's great

And you know, add 'Fixins', then
Strew hot sauce to toppings - blend
"Mister," as I tell husband,
"I'm grabbing your fries again"

Didn't need to order shake
Everybody's full, rest - wait
Staff cleans up, not complicate
Fuddrucker's great!!

Yum for all in the family http://www.yelp.com/bi...

Definitely not as cheap as iN-N-OUT, but boy these burgers are lovely to come back to on the east coast.

the meat has much more flavor than I remember from years ago, which was a pleasant surprise. service was excellent. someone came around the clear tables and interacted with customers, so that was nice. he also asked if we needed anything.

it costs about $8 for a full meal (drink, 1/3 burger, fries)

changes:
-they now have those vibrating things that tell you when you're orders ready, so you don't have to awkwardly stand there waiting anymore
-they moved the veggie bar to another side, set up a lot nicer

gotta love these buns!

She Said..."I have always been a big fan of some fuddruckers. There buns are always doughy and warm, they make them there. They also have sweet potatoe fries that are pretty amazing. The only thing that this place should change is their price and the fact they they only have pepsi products, they need coke."

He Said..."Pretty good meal for lunch. But way too pricey...35 bucks for 2 kids and 2 adults is a bit much for lunch. The shakes were really good, and the food was right up there with five guys. I still don't understand what a fuddrucker is though...other than that...get some coke..and we would be in business"

Fuddruckers sort of flies under the radar in terms the Metro DC burger circuit. It's a cookie-cutter chain restaurant that usually doesn't garner much mention in the upper echelons of the burger-eating world. And even though it's not one of the interesting new mom-and-pop shops or up-and-coming franchises, they are doing something right. The burgers are some of the best around.

The burgers can be ordered up to a pound in size. I prefer the 1/2 pound - which is usually a bit big, but I really like the burgers here. This weekend I got the burger medium and it was cooked perfectly. They usually overcook it a bit. The meat has a coarse grinding and provides for well-textured patties. Bread is toasted and buttered. As fans of Ruth's Chris know, butter and beef are a great combination.

Condiments and veggies are available in a sort of souped up Roy's Fixin' Bar. The toppings bar holds the usual: tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles; and even jalapenos and pico de gallo. They are usually pretty good about keeping these items fresh. Condiments include mayo, mustard, ketchup; along with honey mustard and melted cheese. The fries are wedge fries and come well-seasoned.

I have to mention a few gripes I have about Fuddruckers. They can be fairly slow on orders. Also, ordering anything other than a burger can be risky in terms of quality. I tried my friend's turkey burger, and it tasted like hot dog. In honesty though I think it wouldn't have been bad with ketchup, mustard, and relish. Their appetizers, especially the Buffalo wings, fall a bit short. Also the burgers themselves are a bit expensive.

Another gripe specifically for me is that they ask for my name to attach to an order, but they can never get it right. The name's "Arthur". Not "Urther", or even "Arther" - close but still wrong. And definitely not "Author". I mean, come on..  "Author"?

They have a lot going against them. The interior is decorated in a weird half-farmers market, half-old school TGIFridays look. Food is usually a bit slow, and many items are sub-par. But the key items: burgers, fries, and fixin's, are great.

Let me preface this review by saying I have always been a Fudd fan.   I used to go about every other week when I lived near one in Annapolis, and frequent this one on Rockville Pike about once a quarter or so.   This evening my friend and I stopped in after we found out Rocklands had closed early.  Good old dependable Fudd.  

In front of us in line were about 25 Asian tourists who did not really understand the ordering process.  Fortunately the Manager let us order in front of them., which we appreciated.   We ordered got our food, and digged in.   It was quite good, if greasy.  

At this point you are wondering, "whats the problem, why the infamous 1 star review?".  Well, as we were eating a small mouse ran right by our table.   We were both wearing flip flops!   I had eaten about 90% of my burger by this point too.   We got up, let the manager know and BOUNCED.  Others in the restaurant saw as well.  

I will not be returning to this establishment.

I don't care if it's a chain! I like my Fudd's! When I'm in the mood for a burger, I prefer Fudd's over Five Guys. The only reason why I end up at Five Guys more often is because they have more locations near where I live & work. Hear that, Mr. Fudd's? More Fudd's, please! Because I really like you!

You can't beat their fix-ins bar, buttered buns (see my Ruth's Chris review to see how much I like butter), lax children's menu rules (yay for free cookies!) and the assortment of (free & unlimited) cheese and sauces!

My new philosophy in life is that if I'm going to eat crap, I might as well eat better quality crap.  So when I'm craving a burger and fries, rather than hit some random drive thru, I'll make my friends go with me to get burgers here.  They are decent restaurant burgers and you can choose from a variety of meats including turkey, ostrich, buffalo, and even steak.  They also have cookies and ice cream.  If you go to their website and get on their email list you can get a coupon for a free milkshake.  Thus far, I still haven't been spammed by them yet.  So rather than eat some greaseball from McD's, get a really good burger and frings that are worth the calories.
