MJ's Burgers

If your tummy grumbles for fluffy buns like they’re made out of clouds and patties that know just how to hit the spot, MJ's Burgers is at your service. With four choices, their menu doesn’t beat around the bush: Beef, Cheese, MJ’s and Fitness Freak. Recently added are the Chicken, Veggie and Burger of the Month.

We all love a good burger but can get lonely without company. Add a side of rosemary-flavored fries with beer mustard dip on the side and you will have reached meal zen. Written on their napkins is the comic warning: “You’re going to need this.” And you will. Their burgers mean business. To top it off, all their ingredients are homemade and made from scratch.

This restaurant with a conscience donates a percentage of their profits to local charities such as The Braveheart Fund. Post-meal, be sure to ask your server for a juicy hug on the house to complement your happy belly. “The core of our business is people,” says owner Mohamad Jaroudi. “Burgers are simply the medium.” This attitude reflects in the joint’s welcoming atmosphere: casual, comfy, cozy, carefree.

A wall-sized blackboard dominates the left wall, creatively displaying the menu items in chalk. The cafeteria-style wooden table longue gives it a distinct community feeling, a casual kickback place for people united by friendship and the urge for a burger.
