YEAH! Burger


Yeah! Burger is a classy burger joint in Atlanta's art district, somewhere between Northyards & Howell Mill. We discovered it quite by accident, while scrounging for a quick lunch yesterday. So what’s different in Yeah! Burger?

Well, to begin with, you create your own burger. You choose a patty – there’s veggie, turkey breast, grilled chicken, beef and bison meat to choose from. Yes you heard right, they serve a lean, juicy bison meat patty! You then pick a bun – white, wheat and a couple of other options. Once you have the bread out of the way, you proceed to choose toppings (from a smorgasbord of at least 10 different kinds – including caramelized Vidalia onions). Finally, you pick a sauce. I chose a delicious roasted garlic aioli.

So that’s Yeah! Burger for you. They also have an assortment of sides – ranging from the classic French fry to onion rings and more. They have a larger outdoor patio and indoor seating as well – the roominess a necessity for the throng during lunch hours from all the offices nearby.

Go check it out.
