Burger Builders

We have been there more times than we can count. To date we have only had different varieties of cheeseburgers. We like them MEDIUM RARE and have never been disappointed. This is the first time I have ever written a review for any restaurant. I wrote this one only because of the hockey puck description written earlier he may have had one bad burger. I will go there anytime I’m in the mood for a burger. We all have our own tastes in food. This is my opinion

I was driving to New Haven with my boyfriend and looked up a nearby restaurant that served burgers. We were not disappointed. The service was excellent. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food came out hot and everything tasted delicious. I had a classic builder with waffle fries (which were amazing) and my boyfriend ordered a cheeseburger and fries and also loved his meal. The prices were reasonable and the service was quick so we were able to get right back on the road.

Office Lunch: No «guessing games» on what it comes with or doesn’t come with, the a-​la-​carte menu makes every order a special order, so it was really easy…
A vegetarian coworker had (and told me about) the veggie burger, but I called ahead to ask anyway, since there was no mention online if it was a true «veggie» burger (no eggs, no dairy).
The staff member who answered was friendly and read the ingredients to me (shared it on FB for others wondering the same), so the service is already stellar, and I haven’t even ordered yet. :)
Step 1: Veggie Patty ($ 4)
Step 2: Onion Roll (choice of bread is included)
Step 3: Ketchup, Mustard, Dill Pickle Slices, Mixed Greens, Sautéed Bell Peppers, Sautéed Mushrooms, Caramelized Onions, and more here:

Everything cooked great.
Mike and the crew do a super job. I had a side of clams with slaw my son a burger

Clam strips platter was over cooked and the limit one drink per cup sign is a turn off… although the drink/​refill machine is self serve…

Heard the chicken sandwich was good here so decided to go try a burger. The burger was pretty good. It’s hard to please me tho. My bf got the pulled pork over fries. Thx to my suggestion and it was good! We then got a chicken sandwich to go and it’s 3 stars for me. I’m full and happy tho. Will most likely go back. Great service

Even Jules Winfield would agree that this is a tasty burger! The char and aroma reminds you of a pleasant backyard cookout, with a variety of premium toppings available. The service? Top notch. We were even treated to samples of the pulled pork. A definite keeper, and I hope they have a long successful run.

Stopped by here before catching a movie, service and food was fantastic! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Burger was flavorful, well seasoned, and cooked to perfection. They also pretty easily have the best fast food mac and cheese I’ve ever had, and it is CHEESY! We will definitely be back.

Great pulled pork! It’s marinated overnight and coked 8 hours and you can tell! Coleslaw was unique and delish! Owner offered a sample of Chicken soup which was full of flavor. Waffle fries were not too exciting. Would have been better if they were fresh cut instead of frozen! The owners are friendly and really care about you enjoying your food. That’s hard to find.

Some days in life you really grave a hamburger or a good ol bacon cheeseburger. Well I had one of those days so I tried Burger Builders.
The place is small with tables to close to each other. The music playing is too loud for it’s size.
The prices of the food range from $ 5.19 for each plan burger. $.75 cents for each additional topping. Only one size soda cup is available (small), if you are thirsty forget it you get one refill only.
The menu is limited to only burgers, hotdogs, side items and fish.
No Combo Meals are offered. All menu items are sold separately.
The burgers are flame grilled and are cooked to Well Done. (No EXCEPTIONS) and I mean well as in it should be called hockey puck builders
If I had to guess I would say the owner has NO experience in ever owning a restaurant or working in one. The owner knows nothing about food, being hospitable or giving you the most for you money.
I give Burger Builders 3 months before the door close.
If you want better tasting food, more room to eat go anywhere else but Burger Builders.

Went to burger builders looking for something other than the typical fast food or chain greasy burger and found it. This little gem has fresh quality food. We had classic burger with bacon, grilled chicken club and fries. Burger had nice flavor, chicken was moist and cooked perfect and fries cooked in clean oil, always must for me. The owner is passionate about his food and cared about our experience. He brought us a sample of his pulled pork. Had I tasted that first I would have ordered it. It was great! I am looking forward to returning and building a burger master piece for myself

Best burger around! This was probably the best bacon cheeseburger I’ve ever had. My girlfriend had the pulled pork sandwich and she can’t stop talking about it. Very friendly staff too.

I read about Burger Builders opening on Wolcott St in Waterbury and had to stop in and give it a try. I had a Cheeseburger with cheddar lettuce tomato and coleslaw. One of the best burgers I have eaten out. The fact that you can put other stuff on it is a great concept. I will return to try another combination or maybe the pulled pork sandwich or the lobster roll.
I also has the chicken noodle soup. Don’t miss the soup of the day if it is anything like the one I had. It reminded me of my grandmothers soup. They used spaghetti as the noodle which I loved as a kid.
This is owned by a father and son and seems to be a very nice family business. There are old photos of Waterbury on the walls. It was like a walk back in time. Please give these guys your business we want places like this to make it in our town.

Love it! I’ve been looking for a good burger place in the Waterbury area and finally found it. Definitely worth trying it. They have no gluten free nun but they can serve it in a place without that which is great. Their fries are awesome and they have many other options on the menu which I’m definitely going back to try.

Amazing burgers. Went here on a hunch one night. Was blown away. There’s no pre made specials of burgers, just a list of ingredients. All burgers are freshly handmade as well.
Best of yet, waffle fries. Would definitely go again.
