This Hidden Gem Burger Spot Won National Recognition Against All Competition in Dunwoody, GA

Inside a Chevron gas station in Dunwoody sits what Food & Wine Magazine and Reader’s Digest crowned Georgia’s Best Burger—proof that greatness doesn’t need fancy surroundings. 🍔

NFA Burger, which stands for Not Fooling Around, started as a wildly popular pop-up phenomenon before opening its permanent location at 5465 Chamblee Dunwoody Road in 2019.

Their classic smash burgers have earned national recognition from Thrillist’s Top 47 Burgers in America and Eater’s Top 30 Iconic Dishes in Atlanta.

Owner Billy Kramer transformed this hidden gem burger joint into an Atlanta institution that has people lining up daily for perfectly executed simplicity.

How NFA Burger won Gunwoody’s hearts

Billy Kramer spent years perfecting his craft at popup events across Atlanta, building a cult following that would drive anywhere to taste his award-winning smash burgers before he even had a permanent location.

When he finally opened inside a Chevron gas station in his adopted hometown of Dunwoody, skeptics questioned the unconventional setup—until they took their first bite.

The 2020 Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Best Burger award silenced doubters and confirmed what locals already knew: this was something extraordinary.

The house-made Sassy sauce with its slight spicy zing became so beloved that customers specifically request extra for their crinkle-cut fries cooked in beef tallow—the way McDonald’s used to make them before switching oils.

Food Highlights

• Double The Classic: The signature creation features two 2.75 oz smashed patties, Mt. Olive pickles, American cheese, French’s mustard, and Sassy sauce on a Martin’s Potato Roll. 🧀

• The Classic Single: One perfectly smashed patty with all the signature toppings delivers the same crispy edges and melted cheese.

• Triple Burger: For the truly hungry, three smashed beef patties stacked high create an over-the-top experience.

• Billy with Waffle Bun: The sweet waffle bun with grilled onions creates a unique twist that customers describe as fun to try, with perfectly seasoned smashed patties.

• Quad Burger: The ultimate challenge stacks four 2.75 oz Certified Angus Beef patties with Mt. Olive pickles, American cheese, French’s mustard, and Sassy sauce. 🍔

Atmosphere

The unconventional gas station location inside the Chevron at 5465 Chamblee Dunwoody Road initially surprises first-timers, but the quality quickly makes you forget the setting. ⛽

No indoor seating means you’ll either enjoy your burger in your car or at the outdoor park benches located at the back of the station—weather permitting, the casual outdoor vibe feels perfect for this type of food.

During prime lunch hours, expect crowds and parking challenges—the popularity means it can be “a bit of a nightmare to get in and out,” but devoted fans insist it’s absolutely worth the hassle.

Bottom Line

Visit for Georgia’s Best Burger, crowned by Food & Wine Magazine and Reader’s Digest. 🎯

Experience perfectly smashed patties with salty, crispy edges and melted cheese, taste the house-made Sassy sauce with its signature spicy zing, and enjoy crinkle-cut fries cooked in beef tallow just like the golden age of fast food.
