Burger 25 - Toms River

I really want to believe that my experience was a rare off night, but the food was truly disappointing. It was my first visit since they moved, and unfortunately, everything was subpar. The kids' grilled cheese tasted like it had come off a dirty grill. The fried pickles arrived home in less than five minutes, yet they were completely mushy and inedible. As for the A1 burger, it was overloaded with bleu cheese—there was more cheese than actual patty—and trying to clean it up was impossible because the whole sandwich was just a soggy mess. For $50, I really can't justify giving this place another chance. I don't understand how they're still getting 4.5-star ratings.

You're looking at The Best Fried Chicken Sandwich EVER !!! The only alteration to the Original is the onion roll and pickles. To jazz it up I drizzled a little of their oriental salad dressing on it.

I also ordered the Old Bay fries with garlic sauce, and even though they were cold (because I took them home), they were still delicious—just so you know, they were not served cold by Burger 25. And I couldn't resist getting a super shake, the Salted Caramel Brownie flavor. Wow! I didn’t dine in, but the restaurant's dining area looked really nice. The staff was busy during the lunch rush but were very friendly. I'm visiting from Northern NJ and house sitting for a few days, but I would gladly make the hour and a half drive for a burger, fries, and a shake!

At first I thought, What 's the hype all about? A burger is a burger. But I was wrong. I enjoyed every bite of it. We both got the cheeseburger with grilled onions, boardwalk fries (with horseradish aioli) and onion rings. The ratio of patty to bread is spot on. I like the finely shredded lettuce and the tangy crispy pickle. The cheese just melted and married with the rest of the flavors. The star of the burger is the patty. It was thick, well seasoned, charred and moist (my favorite word). It 's BYOB, so next time, I will bring a 6-pack.

Scouting the Best Burgers for Food Network App, Burger 25 was a very good experience. Now I do have to raise the Bar higher since they claim to have the #1 Burger in the State. With that said, they have a very good burger. Ordered a Pepperjack Burger, but they forgot the Cheese. I was way too hungry to worry about and simply pointed it out. The Burger was good, bun was good. Not as juicy as I would expect, but think it was a bit overcooked. Fries were great, didn't have a Shake, just couldn't eat of drink anymore. This is a Family Owned and Run business, so I will go back everytime I pass through Toms River to support sma business. Their Brandong and store presentation was fantastic. Staff was great and place was really clean. 5 Stars for me all around..Will have to wait for the Burger Tournament to give out the Rankings, but this place is a must stop for Burgers. I can't wait to go back. Great Job Burger 25.
