Flippin’ Out Burgers (Johns Creek)
We have had an onslaught of burger joints lately and this one is the newest member of the bunch. I have visited a few times including opening week and they have been getting a whole lot of business lately. Go during peak hours and there is a wait of up to a half hour. Most noticeable is their fun decor and ambiance. It looks like a 50s diner inside complete with a nostalgic-looking bar.
Surprisingly, the burgers are really good. They only use Meyer Natural Angus beef on their burgers and hotdogs and all signature burgers are charcoal grilled! You know how fantastic that smoky taste in burgers are, right? Each 7-ounce patty can be added to a choice of five buns — onion, kaiser, wheat, kimmelwick, and cracked wheat. The burgers are juicy and the buns are soft. Burgers do tend to get a tad overcooked so a medium will most likely end up medium-well. I suggest you choose from their signature burgers which are all charcoal grilled as opposed to their customizable singles and stacks which are flat-top grilled. Signature burgers start at $6.95 and include the most popular toppings. Upgrade to a meal for $2 more and you get slaw (creamy, mustardy) and fries or chips. Cheeses and other premium toppings add up to the price but start at a mere 50cents to $1.25 (for pancetta and portabella). The hotdogs are equally good — nice snap on the casing and not too salty.
The potatoes here are all freshly cut daily. The fries are really great, nicely brown and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chips are crunchy and not oily and I like that they are not jaw breakers either. I highly recommend getting the chili-cheese fries. Their version includes house-made turkey or beef chili that you can get with or without beans, melted cheddar cheese, onions, jalapeños, and a dollop of sour cream all piled on top crispy fries. They are really good.
Milkshakes rule here. They are hand-spun and made with, get this, four scoops of ice cream. Dark chocolate ice cream is used for the chocolate milkshakes so the resulting concoction is not too sweet.
Service is prompt and very friendly. Truly a good spot for a great quality burger if ever you find yourself in the area.
Insider tip:
This place is going to be a chain so watch out for more locations in the future.

so does this mean that milkshakes do not equal dessert?

Hey, thanks for letting us know about this place. I had the Italian Stallion, and it was a proper medium rare — very refreshing, indeed! Nice, soft, fresh bun, too.
