**Description**

**Who We Are:**

**It started with a road trip.**

**Our first location.**

In 2005, Craig teamed up with Tom Racosky, an experienced Chef from Houstons (now Hillstone), and together they started to mold their vision for Big Buns Damn Good Burgers, a modern burger joint with a rotating selection of delicious burgers and craft beer that felt more like a backyard party than a restaurant.

**A decade later.**

This simple question inspired a new look and two more Big Buns locations at the Village at Shirlington and Wiehle-Reston Metro Plaza The new restaurants were filled with bright colors, murals and bold sound. Dining rooms and patios came standard with communal tables and beer garden vibes. Newly added beer taps and frozen slushie machines fueled the party-like atmosphere. While some things changed, other things remained the exact same, like the commitment to their founding mission to serve the world's most delicious + innovative burgers while sharing the idea of an inclusive backyard party with our amazing guests.

**Our real secret sauce.**

People often want to know the reasons why we've been successful over the years. More often than not, our answer is pretty disappointing because we have no secrets, just a set of core beliefs that have helped guide us.

Glad you asked We are a restaurant group based in Reston, Virginia, called Thompson Hospitality. We own, operate, and lose constant sleep over several local restaurant brands, including matchbox, Makers Union, Hen Quarter and The Rub Chicken + Beer.

We just happen to make GREAT food and drinks too
