Big news from Big Buns Damn Good Burgers — the Northern Virginia-based burger and shake chain is getting into the breakfast business. And the new Big Buns location opening next week at One Loudoun is the “test market” so to speak for this line-up of breakfast sandwiches.

The Burn got a sneak peek inside the restaurant and also got to sample some of the new breakfast sandwiches. They’re absolutely nothing like an Egg McMuffin, we can assure you.

The Doc Hollywood features grilled country ham, a fried egg, cheddar cheese, and sautéed pickled red onions on a brioche bun. The Sausage Breakfast comes with a marinated sausage patty, fried egg, cheddar cheese, aioli, sautéed sweet peppers, and sautéed pickled red onions — all on a brioche bun.

The big daddy of the breakfast sandwiches is the Hangover Helper, a giant fried chicken breakfast sandwich with grilled country ham, a fried egg, cheddar cheese, smoked applewood bacon, home fries (on the sandwich) plus sautéed pickled red onions. The Burn broke down and ate part of it with a fork and knife.

Right now, the breakfast options are only available at the Ashburn location, but if they do well, they could be rolled out to other Big Buns locations across Northern Virginia.

Breakfast items will be served from 8 to 11 a.m. each day before they transition to the burgers, bowls, and milkshakes (including boozy milkshakes) that they are known for.

You can see the full Big Buns One Loudoun menu — including the exclusive breakfast menu — at the bottom of this story.

The new Big Buns — the first in Loudoun county — will officially open next Monday, May 1 at its corner location facing the main plaza by the Alamo Drafthouse movie theater. It had been scheduled to open this past Monday, but the restaurant’s team still had to iron out a few last minute details.

Big Buns is part of the Thompson Hospitality family of restaurants. That makes it a sister brand to Matchbox, Milk & Honey, Social House, and many others.
