Popular Shirlington all-day spot Best Buns Bakery and Burgers, where you can get a cheeseburger for less than $7, has opened an outpost in Springfield, Virginia.
It is the third location for Best Buns. It opened a restaurant and bakery in Tysons in 2019.
Best Buns’ reasonably priced menu is long, and runs the gamut from breakfast sandwiches, soups and salads, to boxed lunches, build-your-own Black Angus burgers and baked goods, including cookies, muffins, Danish and scones.
It also sells artisan breads by the loaf. All breads, buns and sweets are baked in-house. It also sells cakes and pies. Breakfast dishes are served all day.
The Springfield location is at the Aldi-anchored Concord Centre 6119 Backlick Road

The company said it has served almost 1.7 million free, healthy meals since it launched.
