Behind the Bun: Why Burger Quality Starts with the Bread at Burger in the Square

At Burger in the Square, we believe every part of the burger matters—and that includes what’s holding it all together. While most places focus only on the patty, we know the bun is just as important to the flavor, texture, and overall burger experience.

We use locally sourced, bakery-fresh buns that are perfectly toasted and designed to complement—not compete with—our signature patties and toppings. No soggy bottoms. No bland bread. Just the right balance of chew, flavor, and durability to support your perfect bite from top to bottom.

Whether it’s a classic sesame bun, brioche, or a toasted potato roll, our attention to detail ensures every burger delivers full flavor and structure—bite after bite.

It’s more than a bun. It’s the foundation of Roanoke’s best burger.
