How It All Started

How It All Started

Burger Nerds began in 2020 as a small popup in New Orleans. The goal was simple — serve fresh, made-to-order burgers that people would truly enjoy. What started as a weekend setup quickly grew as locals lined up for smashed queso burgers and the now-famous Nerd Sauce. The love from the community turned a small idea into something much bigger.
Growing from One Stand to Three Spots

Growing from One Stand to Three Spots

From that humble popup, Burger Nerds grew into three fun, friendly locations — 7537 Maple Street in New Orleans, 1036 West Airline Highway in Laplace, and 805 Homestead Avenue in Metairie. Each spot keeps the same laid-back feel and focus on flavor. Whether dining in, picking up, or ordering delivery, every meal is made with care and attention.
What Makes the Food Stand Out

What Makes the Food Stand Out

Every burger is smashed and grilled fresh to order. The queso is made from scratch, and the signature Nerd Sauce adds a flavor that sets each meal apart. The menu may be simple, but the goal has always been the same — serve real food that’s full of flavor and made fresh every time.
