Flip Burger Boutique

Flip Burger Boutique on Howell Mill Rd. in Atlanta is by far the best burger I have had in a long time.  Their menu is small but not limited.  There are several selections of beef burgers, including the A5 made of Japanese Kobe beef, and then the other side of the menu is made up of what I like to call "other" burgers, including a shrimp poboy, an osso bucco burger, and a turkey burger.  The sides are unique but identifiable - I had the asparagus fries (don't knock 'em til ya try 'em) and Dustin had gumbo.  My favorite part of the meal, though the turkey burger and asparagus fries were phenomenal, was the Nutella and burnt marshmallow milkshake.  Of course they have other novel milkshakes - the Arnold Palmer (made of lemon shaved ice and sweet tea) and the Pineapple Right Side Up Cake, to name a couple - but why would you forgo chocolate ice cream, hazelnut spread, and blowtorched marshmallows?
The only drawbacks are that the parking lot is small and the dining areas (inside and out) are fairly small.  But, if you go early on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, you should be able to get a table.  It is well worth the wait if you have one, though.
