YEAH! BURGER – Atlanta

I don’t usually write restaurant reviews of places I haven’t been, but this time I think it’s worth the gamble. I love the concept of the new YEAH! BURGER opening in Atlanta tomorrow in the White Provision complex at 14th Street and Howell Mill Road. It has already gotten so much press even before it opens, that it seems it’s their game to lose.
YEAH! BURGER is a casual, healthy fast food place with a commitment to sustainability and local, organic foods. How can you go wrong with Grass-fed beef burgers, naturally raised bison burgers, organic turkey burgers, organic chicken breast patties, organic veggie burgers, nitrate-free hot dogs, hand-cut French fries, and organic salads.
GLUTEN FREE BUNS will be supplied by Atlanta’s Dough Bakery, and the lettuce-leaf wrapped version is always available, as well as Southern White and Whole Wheat buns. YEAH! BURGER has created a menu with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options for diners with special nutritional needs. Burgers will start at $5.99 and increase slightly in price depending on guests’ patty and topping selections.
Prior to dreaming up YEAH! BBURGER, Chef Shaun Doty has long been at the forefront of the Atlanta dining scene. For the past three-years, he has been the man behind Shaun’s Restaurant, which has a changing daily menu, but often features gluten free fare. “My son has autism, and I am hyper sensitive to food,” he said, so it would seem he understands the special needs diet.
“YEAH! BURGER’s socially-conscious approach also extends to its numerous green efforts including offsetting its energy usage with wind power; use of ENERGY STAR equipment throughout the restaurant; installation of water-efficient toilets, bathroom fixtures and kitchen faucets; use of reclaimed wood paneling and table tops; and use of 100% compostable cups and to-go packaging and utensils.”
1168 Howell Mill Road, Suite E
Atlanta, GA
(404) 496-4393
YEAH! BURGER is open everyday from 11 AM to 10PM, except on Fridays and Saturdays when they remain open until 11PM.
It’s already rumored that a second location of YEAH! Burger is slated for a former service station at the corner of Virginia and Highland also in Atlanta, and our fingers are crossed for the wild success and further expansion of this place!

The gluten free buns for Yeah!Burger are actually being provided by Pure Knead, a dedicated gluten-free bakery (www.pureknead.com). The buns are certified gluten free by the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG), and are also free of dairy, nuts, soy and shellfish.
Been to YEAH! Burger a couple of times. The Burgers are juicy and tasty. First GF bun was great. Held together and moist. Second time the bun was dry and crumbly. The GF fries are SoSo. A little too greasy for my tastes.
Expensive but once every now and than its a nice treat to order a burger with a bun!
i would really have to a have kitchen faucet that is made of silver or at least silver plated. ::
we are using plastic kitchen faucets at home because they are very cheap and you can easily replace them if they broke -”`
