Purcellville's Best Burger

You know that specific Purcellville dilemma: you want a burger, but you also want to see the Blue Ridge from a taproom patio, or you need something to soak up a late-night craving after 10pm. The burgers here run from refined farm-to-table takes at Market Table Bistro to massive smash stacks at Twisted Cat Tavern, with a brewery view at Bear Chase that makes the stout taste better.

I’ve tested them all, and I’m still full. So pull up a chair, skip the chain drive-thru, and let’s talk patties.

Here are the best burgers in town.

BIA Kitchen

Highlights
Prompt, pleasant service
Great Thai noodles
Good soup and ricotta
Nice upstairs atmosphere

I popped into BIA Kitchen on a whim, and the upstairs dining room is a nice, bright place to settle in. The service was prompt and pleasant, which I appreciate when I'm hungry and indecisive. True, I came for a burger, but the great Thai noodles and the soup with ricotta kept pulling my attention. The burger itself is solid, though not the star of the show here. Honestly, if you're in the mood for something a little different, this is a lovely stop. Just know the noodles might steal your heart before the patty does.

Market Burger Fries & Shakes

Highlights
Best burgers in Loudoun
Local products, creative specials
Old-school milkshake magic
Kind, warm staff
Big fries, great views

Market Burger Fries & Shakes is my kind of place. They claim to serve the best burgers in Loudoun, and honestly, I'm not going to argue. The patties are juicy, the local products shine, and the creative specials keep me coming back to see what's new. The old-school milkshake magic is real, thick, and worth the brain freeze. The staff are kind and warm, the fries are big, and the views from the patio are a bonus. This is the burger I measure others against now. I might need to schedule a weekly pilgrimage.

Coach's Corner Grill

Highlights
Wings worthy of a ranking
Open until 2am weekends
Friendly, attentive service
Sports on, music balanced
Great for the whole family

Coach's Corner Grill is where I go when I want a burger with a side of sports and a family-friendly buzz. The wings deserve their own ranking, but the burger holds its own, especially with the friendly, attentive service. They're open until 2am on weekends, which is dangerous for my late-night cravings. The music and sports are balanced just right, so you can actually talk to your table. It's a comfortable, casual spot. I left full, happy, and already planning my next excuse to return.

Purcellville Family Restaurant

Terrific burgers, reasonable prices
Friendly, attentive staff
Clean, well-maintained dining room
French toast worth returning for

Purcellville Family Restaurant is the kind of place that makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. The burgers are terrific, and the prices are reasonable, which is a rare combo these days. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the dining room is clean and well-maintained, which I always appreciate. I also tried the French toast, and it's worth returning for, even if you're a burger person. This is a dependable, comforting meal. I'll be back, probably for both.

Dirt Farm Brewing

Highlights
Stunning sweeping mountain views
Spacious, relaxed, uncrowded vibe
Excellent, approachable beer selection
Great spot for lingering with friends

Dirt Farm Brewing has a view that does most of the talking, but the beer is excellent and approachable, which is good because I needed a drink after staring at those mountains. The space is spacious, relaxed, and uncrowded, so you can actually hear your friends and your own thoughts. It's a great spot for lingering with friends over a flight or a pint. The burger is what you'd expect from a brewery: solid, but the real star is the scenery. Bring a jacket, grab a seat, and stay a while.

Harpers Ferry Brewing sits on a Virginia hilltop with stunning views of the actual Harpers Ferry, and the taproom is spacious with beautiful grounds. It's family-friendly, with plenty of outdoor seating, so the kids can run around while you sip a flight. Their beer variety is great, and the burger is a satisfying accompaniment to the scenery.

Killer kitchen, shaky service
Great for out-of-town guests
Consistent dine-in and takeout
Family-style meals feed four
Go-to for authentic Mexican

Casa Tequila Bar & Grill has a killer kitchen, even if the service can be a little shaky at times. I've been consistently impressed by both dine-in and takeout, which is rare. The family-style meals easily feed four, and it's my go-to when out-of-town guests visit and want something authentic. The burger isn't the main event here, but the Mexican food is so good I don't mind. Just be patient with the waitstaff and focus on the food. You'll leave full and happy.

Highlights
Gathering spot with top beer
Family and dog friendly

The staff is warm and welcoming, and the indoor-outdoor community vibe makes it easy to settle in with friends or family, including your dog. Their brews are consistently excellent, and the burger is a nice anchor for all that beer. I spent a lazy afternoon here, and the time just slipped away. This is the kind of place where you come for one pint and stay for three. Bring a friend, bring a dog, bring your appetite.

Bear Chase Brewing Company

Highlights
Roaring fireplace and live bands
Stunning eastward mountain views
House burger and grilled chicken
Bustling yet findable seating
Great stouts and festive vibe

Bear Chase Brewing Company has a roaring fireplace and live bands, plus stunning eastward mountain views that make you feel like you're on vacation. The house burger and grilled chicken are both solid, but the beer is the real draw, especially the stouts. The place gets bustling, but I always manage to find a seat, even on a busy weekend. It's festive and lively, and I left with a warm glow that wasn't just from the fireplace. A great spot for a cold-weather burger and a stout.
