50 Best Burger Restaurants in Nashville

“I think it's crazy how I never made a review here considering how much I love the burgers. My wife put up a note that I took a picture of. It's been up for over 4 years. Whenever I come back, I'm going to document everything else!“

“Yes!! The hostess Beverlyn welcomes you like you’re family and is amazing. Our server was informative and great! French onion burger was wonderful!!!“

“Absolutely phenomenal!! A must try!“

“Omg the food was truly amazing I had the Randy Travis burger and it was amazing…. Love the 80s/90s vibe brought back so many memories growing up… highly recommend if your in the area“

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

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

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

“Best burger not only in Nashville, but best burger I’ve ever had!!!! I will continue to follow this truck around Nashville every week. Do yourself a favor and get a burger, or 2.“

“So good!! Everything is fresh!“

“Great place when in the area“

“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!“

“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 food and service made us feel so comfortable“

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

“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 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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Good place for a date night and good vibes“

“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!!“

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

“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 ?????“

“Get a Little Mo’s Burger or a Fat Mo’s Burger. Anything larger will probably be too much food, especially if you also get fries. Get the regular fries, which are seasoned with seasoning salt. They’re the best! You’ll be stuffed and happy. Everything is cooked fresh and is delicious. Get an orange shake for dessert if you have room for it.“

“It’s like transporting back to your basement back in the 80s/90s (ok, ok… maybe that’s dating me a little but…) Atmosphere is amazing. Comfortable, great people, and unbelievably good food. I’ve had like 8 different meals here and we always stop in when out of town guests are visiting.“

“Best BREAKFAST. 😮‍💨 mandatory stop before work.“

“This spot right here might be the biggest gem. Idk if it’s a hidden gem, cause I’m not from Nashville but the food here is absolutely 🔥 💯“

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

“Any place named Shake Shack gotta be good but dang it no need to go and put on airs over it. Fast friendly service. Employees being all concerned about you having good experience. Want you to feel welcome and stuff. Y'all trying to corner the Shake Market.? And don't gets me started on that outstanding food situation.......“

“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“

“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.“

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

“The wings are my absolute favorite, and I’ve been here multiple times just for them. The staff is always professional, friendly, and consistently does a great job. The food is high quality, flavorful, and always worth the visit.

I truly hope they are able to expand in the future and move to a larger location so they can stay open longer and include weekend hours. They have a great business, and their food deserves to reach even more people.“

“Visited Emmy Squared on a trip to Nashville recently and absolutely loved my meal.
I had the Paulie, the wedge salad, and a spring cocktail (Beez Kneez). Everything was delicious! I will literally drive back to Nashville to have that meal again.
The restaurant was inviting, and the music playlist was on point!
Shout out to Richard at the bar! He was the best.“

“They are pet friendly. Food is excellent!!!! The service is usually pretty spot on, however we had one never female waitress that left much to be desired. Otherwise, every other time we've been, it has been great and we plan to go back often.“

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

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

“We had eaten before visiting Lainey's place. The Dualing Pianos were very entertaining and my small group enjoyed the evening. The drinks were typical of a bar atmosphere. I enjoyed the atmosphere and energy. I would recommend visiting.“

“This is my favorite fast food hamburger. It tastes like something that you would cook at home and they put a lot care into the preparation. The fries really stand out because they are made fresh instead of using frozen. The chicken sandwich is my favorite thing on the menu. It is a fried chicken breast on a bun. The breading is delicious and somehow they manage to keep the chicken from drying out.“

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

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

“Food Off the Chain so good - a must #nashville #foodie #restaurant“

“05/16/26- I came here by accident. They sit by a Burger King 👑 and Taco 🌮 Bell 🛎️ I wasn’t impressed with BK menu and I don’t eat TB. We don’t have Cook Out in my state. So I decided to eat here.

I walked in and you know how the first thing everyone wants to do is wash their hands 🙌 This place has the sink with soap 🧼 and paper towels 🧻 ready for you to wash right before you place your order. I washed my hands 🙌

I walked in and was immediately greeted by Kamaris. He welcomed me in and answered my questions.

He had finished with a customer, then he let me look at the menu. He asked if I was ready and went over the menu.

He helped me place my order. It was easy from there. My meal was $7.99 plus tax and it comes with a drink.

Drinks - The ice machine was out but one of the crew members came out to look at it while I was there.

Since the cherry drink was out Kamaris had to get it from the back. The Cherry 🍒 drink is delicious 😋

I wasn’t supposed to drink it (diabetic) but I could not resist. I recommend you try it!

Sides - The meal comes with two sides. I asked for Hush Puppies. It comes with six Hush Puppies and they’re freshly made.

The fries are seasoned with a Cajun salt that adds a great taste. I ordered their own sauce and it was good with the hush puppies and the fries.

Burger - you get to add your toppings from a wide selection. I ordered grilled onions, mustard, and pickles on two patties. I don’t like cheese or anything else. I don’t eat both buns and the meal was filling.

Shout out to Kamaris who did it all. He ran the register and was busy after I placed my order. He was friendly to all his customers as he helped them all.

Later I saw him throwing out the trash. He had a good attitude about his job and his restaurant.

Kamaris told me his restaurant is the best one. I hope he’s recognized for his positive attitude. I enjoyed my visit thanks to Kamaris!“

“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!“

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

“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 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.“

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

“Husband: I'm really not hungry - proceeds to eat an entire burger and fries 😆
Great food! The hangover burger was piled high! Naked tenders had a nice flavor. The seasoning on the fries is A+, they're perfectly crispy and fluffy! Even the to-go packaging is adorable!“
