So much so, that we’re adding it to our list of places to go in Baton Rouge. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and our food. I can dig it! While eating burgers and fries are not our typical household meal, it’s great to have options available where we can enjoy a burger made with fresh ingredients instead of all of the heavily processed, chemically altered ones. The cauliflower bun gave me the satisfaction of a “real” burger without an actual wheat derived bun. And I must say, the Garlic Aioli made a perfect dip.Īfter finishing the burger, although I was full, I wasn’t “loosen my pants” stuffed, and that was a good thing. Perfect! You just can’t get that flavor or texture from frozen fries. No one had to tell me they were freshly sliced because I could tell! They had a soft, fleshy potato center and a slight crisp on the outside. The patties had that signature beefiness that you want on a burger, and it honestly reminded me of In-and-Out burger as well. I really don’t like the taste of cauliflower, but I honestly couldn’t even tell it was the main ingredient. It had the texture of a fried egg and didn’t fall apart or get all messy like a lettuce wrap either. The Cauliflower bun was a pleasant alternative to the typical lettuce wrap. (Like seriously! Our fridge contains an ungodly amount of them) So you can just imagine the joy we felt in our hearts when we saw toppings like Roasted Garlic Aioli (our fave), Truffle Mayo, and Sriracha Mayo! We were in condiment heaven! Okay, so back to the burger. But the quality harkens back to a time before fast food arrived frozen and preprocessed. The hubs and I are both suckers for condiments. 3934 Veterans Blvd., Metairie, 504.309.7474 Atomic Burger unapologetically makes fast food. Now before I tell you about the burger, let’s discuss this condiment bar. But I digress…īy the time we ordered, picked up a few condiments from the bar, and found a table on the enclosed patio, our food was ready. I promise you I stood there in a daze, fascinated by the process! One day, I may live on the wild side and try one. They’re actually chilled to order using liquid nitrogen (yep, you read that correctly).

However, their shakes aren’t just the usual ice cream in a cup type shakes. Although they do have shakes, our lactose intolerance just couldn’t handle the dairy. We both ordered the Atomic Burger with grilled onions and Cauliflower bun, and a side of fries to share. They also offer veggie and turkey burgers. The Cauliflower Bun and Keto options are a nice touch for those with dietary restrictions.
