50 Best Burger Restaurants in Nashville

“This is a must visit and goesvall the way back to old Greer Stadium across the street. They used to have a secret menu locked in a samsonite briefcase super glued to the wall. Best hotdogs anywhere and make sure to get sweet potato fries. Distinctly Nashville. Where the locals eat lunch.“

“Great burgers and the mayo with caramelized onions was amazing!! Highly recommend it if you come to Nashville!“

“Best burgers in downtown! Highly recommend the wagyu burgers!“

“Man very delicious!! Great customer service!!“

“amazing atmosphere, especially being a child of the 80s and youth of the 90s. good slaps. staff are great.“

“Crusty joyburger(smashburger) is very flavorful. It’s an affordable lunch spot.“

“We ate this place after a concert late at night and it was sooooo good! I got the fire burger and it was the 1st actually hot/spicy thing I’ve had the entire trip! And it was delicious! My husband had the Baam Burger and my daughter had just a cheeseburger and they both were good as well! I’ll definitely eat here again! The cashier was very friendly upon entering and taking our order as well!“

“Great food and service made us feel so comfortable“

“Great burgers! Every bite was amazing, well seasoned and juicy🤤🤤“

“Stopped in for dinner and got a double bacon jam burger that was outstanding. Fresh ground beef in house with buns baked in house as well. Really a good burger cooked perfectly. Fresh cut fries were incredibly good as well. Washed everything down with a Sam Adams summer ale. This is a no cash restaurant which is annoying but the food being so good helps with that aggravation. Food and service are excellent just don't like putting a burger on my credit card.“

“Great whiskey selection. One of the best I've seen in town. Food and dessert are great also!“

“We started with the pepperoni cheese curds lightly breaded and paired with a bright, flavorful marinara. Then we shared the Jalapeño Popper Burger, ordered medium rare, cooked perfectly with just the right kick of heat. We upgraded to the Nashville Hot Tots… yum! Our server Nate brought that authentic Tennessee charm, prompt, friendly, and made us feel right at home. We grabbed a Cookie Butter Shake to go and WOWZA! Sweet, rich, and dangerously good. Excellent!“

“Grill shack burgers and fries have the best staff, food and such a great environment! Awesome fries that are fresh, fun for lunch or dinner. My brother Drew works there and you will love him!! Definitely stop in!“

“We got there within 40 minutes of closing (not busy thank goodness for us). We were served quickly. We had the Detroit pizza and it was fabulous. Food was great and the service was fabulous. We are only here for two days, otherwise I would definitely go again.“

“The food was delicious and the service was great!“

“Wonderful service and great food what more can you ask for.“

“10/10 would drive to Nashville for this. I was in town visiting the bestie. We ended up here on a lark after she said "let's go here, I know this place." Funny servers, exceptional, exceptional food. OMG the special sauce. It was so good I got a burger and fries to go for later in the evening. Highly recommend the burger with Sriracha onions, bacon and blue cheese and the one with Guinness mushrooms and bacon. Both the regular and sweet potato fries are YUM! Did I mention that special sauce? Go here. Just do it. Now. Why are you still here? Delicious burgers are waiting. Get.“

“We had a fantastic brunch at Liberty Common! The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of options that catered to all tastes. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed yet elevated brunch experience. Highly recommend Liberty Common for anyone looking for great food and a wonderful dining experience!“

“Food was great. Shannon was a great waitress.“

“We had a 15 month old and a 5 year old as well as 3 adults. Nat, Colton and Carneshia were so Great to work so hard to get us seated. The food was awesome and the service was top of the line. So folks go see Big Bad Breakfast Nashville ?????“

“Friday night after a few drinks late night at some local bars and not wanting to drive far from our hotel, we ordered from here and LOVEDDDD it. Pizza was hot, fresh ingredients & we ate every single slice. To top it off they graciously added a 2 liter of sprite to our order that we didn't even order & let us use their restroom. That following Sat we decided to try something different on the menu & we still were more than happy. The small calzone was HUGE and full of ingredients but not too much. The cheesesteak hoagie was a great portion too. 4 people ate just those 2 things and we all we FULL! And again we were offered a free soda. We now all have this placed saved for our return to Nashville“

“Amazing food! The new owners aim to please. Highly recommend!“

“Best wings ever well seasoned hot an fresh!“

“Walk up or drive up-someone comes to car to take order on drive up. Big mo deluxe literally 2 patties. Turkey burger was very good. Chicken sandwhich was 2 chicken strips-very good. Listed spicy fries but they were just seasoned fries. Very good portion sizes. Burgers were a little dry for my taste. I felt it was a little pricey all things considered however everyone was full. Was disappointed when asking for extra condiment and because it wasn't in a packet we would get charged. After spending over $70 for drive thru I would have liked to just have been given extra condiment very nice staff. Overall would return.“

“Burgers? Emacculate. Fries? Delicious. Frozen custard shakes? Effin' chef's kiss. This is the BEST burger spot & the atmosphere is so modern. They even have tasty veggie options for the days you decide to count calories lol. If you're bored with the basic burger joint, you should definitely give Shake Shack a try. Thank me later.😘“

“Best catfish i’ve ever had and Al is very welcoming and proud of his business! We will be back for sure!!“

“Wow oh wow!!! I have not had pizza this delish since I was about 5. The flavor just set my mouth to craving more! Crispy crust and amazing mix of ingredients! I tried the Good Paulie and a Skinny Margarita! Mmm mmm good! Gonna bring my besties down to try it out!! Oh and did I say what fabulous hospitality the staff presented? From walking in the door all thru the meal!! Simply the best!!“

“Drive up is your only option, very friendly family, takes a bit to get your food, but it's all fresh made eject you order it! Nothing pre-made, no frozen hamburgers etc.... you have to wait for them to cook what you ordered! So if you don't want to wait, don't go here!! There is a little bit of spiciness to the burgers, which personally I could do without, but it's tolerable... very good over all“

“Good burger, just wish they had better choice to customize.“

“I love this place. I've been going here since before my son was born and he'll be 21 in December. If you're looking for some classic old school burgers with the crinkly fries fried just right, this is your spot and the wings 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“5 STARS for everything, AMAZING food, great people, great service!!! The Salmon, the Angus Burgers!!!“

“Visiting family we decided to try Burger Republic suggested by nephew. They did not disappoint at all. Had Tennessee Burger with tots and everything was on point. The burger had so much flavor and smoke plus the Gouda cheese with bacon was icing on the cake. I definitely will be back and recommend them highly. S/O to Allan the bartender as well who was friendly, patient and answered all questions regarding substitute options requested.“

“Never had Detroit style pizza before, but heard great things. We were visiting Nashville and decided to stop in. We shared a VIP Pizza, the burger, and cheesy garlic sticks. Everything was great. The service was great and they have a very good playlist of music.“

“It reminds me of my mother’s burgers when I was a kid“

“I ordered a bacon cheeseburger (single patty) which came with a large portion of hand cut cajun fries and a large fountain drink and the total was around $13-$14 after tax. For the money, this was an exceptional meal. This is the price level of McDonalds but the quality of a true burger joint if not much better. Anyone complaining about the price being too high is either 75+ years old or hasn’t eaten out in the past decade. The only thing worth mentioning is that the cleanliness could be improved. Overall 5 stars.“

“This was the best burger I’ve ever had! We will definitely be back!!!!! The food was fresh and delicious 😋“

“Service was good, the food was amazing! Reminds me of 5 guys but tbh 1000 times better. Finally a good burger joint. The burgers are juicy and the bread is a perfect mixture, so good!!
I also love the fries! Their string fries.. are thin. Some people like that ,some don't, but i love string fries ! Im from Wisconsin so i know good beef and a burger when i find one!! I Will definitely be back, especially since im a local!!“

“Came here for game day vs chargers to meet a friend and I have to say everything was phenomenal! Mallory recommended the wings with hot honey on the side and a 4x4xblue cocktail that was so good. The vibe was so nice and I had an awesome time at BBU!!“

“Great food and a great vibe. Really enjoyed our lunch!“

“Nashville wedding weekend. Craving a burger and Big Jimmy’s reviews caught my eye. Local joint with live music and great burgers! Staff were great. They have local Driskin ciders- perfect with the burger!! Def stop by when in Nashville!! We’ll be back!“

“Wonderful food and tasty cocktails in an upbeat and fun setting. And hookahs, yep hookahs.“

“Late nite hunger, ordered a bacon burger. Oh my gosh! You would kind of expect to get something that had been sitting for a while but no, it was freshly made, piping hot, delicious! The bacon was crisp, just the way I like it. This is my burger spot from now on!“

“Stuff Salmon grilled and Grilled Jumbo Shrimp.
I can't cook! Restaurant Triple J's Cafe show me solid Love and the Mac and cheese with BBQ sauce on it and cup of Triple J's homemade sauce. Now I can give my all in the GYM! Yes Lord.“

“WOW. Food fantastic. Each order for me equals two if not all three meals for the day.However, the 6 am commute suggests an earlier business opportunity. Trial period perhaps“

“We stopped by for a late lunch. I’m not a fan for the way you have to order but I understand it. While we were eating an older gentleman n 2 ladies came into eat. They did not understand how to order, the first worker tried to explain but did not do that well of a job. As they were still trying to figure out how to order a worker from the back came out to take an order outside. When he came in he told them to have a seat and he would take care of them. They told him they were ready to order, he took their order and told them he would bring it out to them. The gentleman went to fix their drinks but without having an order number to scan the machine wouldn’t work. The worker that took their order brought their drinks out to them with their meal. Now this worker did not have to help these people at all but he did out of the goodness of his heart. They paid their bill and left the worker a very nice tip. I hope he sees how much he blessed those people today.“

“Great food awesome drinks! Music out of this world! Stephanie Williams best bartender Nashville!!!“

“I met 5 friends for brunch this morning. Food was great and our server was outstanding.“

“This was our first time at Bar Louie. Nice bar. Lots of seating. Had a nice atmosphere tonight. Unfortunately the hostess was unfriendly, she sat us at a booth that wasn’t wiped down which she should have noticed. She was more interested in her cell phone than doing a good job. Lazy young lady. There was a single woman bartender tonight, she was really slow in making our drinks. We received our dinner before our drinks were brought to our table. It wasn’t that busy. When my husband asked her where the restrooms were, she said as she shrugged her shoulders as to point to her right, there over there, keep walking. Rude with an attitude. The salad that was brought out with our dinner was wilted like it had been sitting in a refrigerator for hours. Our waiter was very nice, but he should have noticed this and ask the cook to make a new one. He did bring it to the kitchen manager and she delivered a freshly made salad to our table. On a good note, The chicken entree with a mushroom sauce and fresh vegetables was very delicious. Overall we like the place. Give it a try. Drinks were good, food was delicious.“

“We got there within 40 minutes of closing (not busy thank goodness for us). We were served quickly. We had the Detroit pizza and it was fabulous. Food was great and the service was fabulous. We are only here for two days, otherwise I would definitely go again.“
