Burger Avenue on Western Avenue in Knoxville is a straightforward spot for anyone looking to satisfy a burger craving without the fuss of sit-down dining. Primarily a fast food drive-thru, it fits neatly into the neighborhood’s rhythm as a reliable stop for a quick meal—especially after a long day or when you’re on the go.

The focus here is clearly on classic American fast food staples, from cheeseburgers and hot dogs to seasoned fries and wings. Their menu leans into familiar combos like the Double Cheeseburger Combo or the Big Bubba, which are great go-to options for those who want a filling, no-frills meal. The fries, especially when seasoned or dusted with chili cheese, come up often in local chatter for being a notch better than your average fast food run.

Service speeds are generally quick, making it an appealing choice if you need to grab something hot and fresh in 10 minutes or less. Employees tend to be friendly and efficient, which adds a bit of ease to the usual fast food drive-thru experience that can sometimes feel rushed or sterile.

The atmosphere is purely functional—there’s no dine-in ambiance here, so it suits customers who are either picking up on the way home, grabbing lunch during a short break, or fueling up for a casual night in. Given its location on Western Avenue, it feels like a neighborhood joint that locals pop into regularly rather than a destination spot.

Overall, Burger Avenue works best for folks who appreciate classic, hearty fast food done consistently well, without the need for bells and whistles. It’s especially convenient during busy weekdays or after work hours when you want a quick, familiar bite, with fries that stand out just enough to pull you back. If you’re passing through Knoxville and want a solid burger combo that hits all the usual notes, this place hits the mark efficiently.

Stopped by after work and the employees were super nice. I ordered my food and got it with 5 to 10 minutes. It was hot and fresh! All in all this is a great drive-thru! They also have the best fries!

I tried 5 wings and small fried pickles, I was really shocked for the size of the wings and they were so good they didn’t even need sauce with them. The fried pickles were not that great but I still ate them. Lady was very nice working the window.

This is a great place to go if you really need to use a fast food drive through. The burger was tasty and the toppings were fresh. The french fries were much better than most of the fast food joints on the road today. Price wise it was only a few dollars more than what you paid today for a meal at McDonald's and the quality was excellent.

This place was a good dinner for two people. I mean, it's burgers and fries, so it isn't salmon and broccoli, but it hit the spot. We got the duo burger dinner of two burgers, two fries, and two medium drinks for $16.99.

Surprising little gem of a drive thru restaurant! The service was excellent which is rare when dealing with fast food. The ladies there were just the sweetest. The burgers and chicken sandwiches were tasty. I loved the crispy fries that were deliciously seasoned. If you're looking for a quick bite, no time to sit in, just a grab and go, Burger Ave will satisfy your palate!

Customer service is amazing.the staff is always very friendly. The food is great one of the best burger joints in town. It isn't a sit down restaurant but there are plenty of spots you can park to eat. They make everything to order so the food is always as fresh as possible. I've never received cold food from there. The sweat tea is BOMB.

I absolutely love burger avenue. I want to always eat here as much as I possibly can when I eat out. Their food is phenomenal. If u haven't tried them then go try them now! I love their burgers myself. I get their fries without the extra seasoning they put on them after they deep fry them bec. I dont like that much seasoning. I think they're waaay better without it. I love their mozzarella sticks too. I'd probably love everything on the menu tho tbh.
