What locals are saying
Sesame Burgers & Beer is the anchor of Park Circle's Spruill Avenue dining scene — a build-your-own gourmet burger operation that earns its local loyalists through serious sourcing (Angus Signature Blend beef, hormone-free poultry, local produce and bread suppliers) and a menu range that genuinely surprises: elk patties, a Napa Valley with fig-and-bacon jam and red wine reduction, a Park Circle burger with caramelized onions and bacon, and a smash burger served with a cheesy grit ball. The sweet potato fries, shrimp hushpuppies with red pepper jam, and house-made condiments draw repeated praise, while the tap list leans into local options including Edmunds Oast. One persistent sore spot: gluten-intolerant diners have flagged cross-contact issues and inconsistent allergen handling across orders.
