50 Best Burger Restaurants near Old Hickory

“Delicious hot chicken, wonderful collard greens and fried okra!! I will be a returning customer. Thank you so much for your kindness and delicious food!!!“

“Amazing burgers and fries! Quiet little hidden gem with limited seating but great staff and food. Chicken is sliced chicken, not chicken breasts but still great. Salads and bowls are also great. Kids are welcome. Patio seating.

Kid-friendliness: They do have a simple kid menu. Great for lunch or dinner but they do have a bar and trivia. So, probably best before 7pm. Bring my infant and toddler often and see other little kids“

“The customer service is always on point. The workers are friendly and usually fast. Breakfast biscuit sandwiches are all always fresh. There are closer locations to my home however I travel to the Okd Hickory location because typically it is a great experience.“

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

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

“To try and find something negative about this place is insane. So here goes. \n\nMaybe the burgers are too juicy. Whatever. They are perfect. \n\nMaybe they need more parking and a larger location. Nope. Don’t ruin a great thing.\n\nOk. Here is the only real negative. They absolutely should be open for longer hours to allow more people to enjoy these burgers. Oh. My. Goodness.\n\nThe burgers are perfectly cooked and paired with fries. They also offer shakes but unless you packed your appetite and put in your Thanksgiving sweat pants, you probably won’t get that far. Seriously. Try this place out and send thank you notes to me.“

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

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

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

“10/23/25 1:10 AM

I literally just ordered, received, and ate this burger. It was a very ugly burger but it was the best tasting thing I've had from a burger joint in FOREVER. The cheese was melted through the thin patties and the fries I got were perfectly salted. Also with it being open so late, and probably a good portion of people are ordering right now if arrived in no time. Definitely would try more, I got a basic cheese burger.

P.S. I didn't go into this store so I gave it a neutral star.“

“Just had a jumbo burger with cheddar. So good. It was huge and really good, made to order. Perfect.“

“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!“

“Friendly service and delicious food. We had a gyros wrap and falafel wrap. Both were delicious!“

“Great burgers and service!!!“

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

“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.“

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

“Have eaten at JJ’s many times, have had many menu items from breakfast to sandwiches and all things in between. Great portions, waitresses are spot on and very friendly, clean, and cold beer is a plus!“

Will we eat here again? YES!!!

⚠️CHECK CALENDAR FOR LIVE MUSIC!“

“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“

“I ordered Burger Up via Uber Eats and was happily pleased with my dinner! I got a traditional burger that was really delicious and had lots of flavor. I also got the crispy chicken bites, which were my favorite by far. They had incredible flavor and I wish I had had more of them to save for later. I also tried the Mac and cheese bites, which were good, but the sauce that came with them was better. Looking forward to getting that chicken again soon!“

“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.😘“

“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.“

“Waitress named Sarah was phenomenal. If y’all want top tier service and quality ask for Sarah all the time. She went above and beyond. She gave us personal recommendations on the menu since it was our first time here. She was very attentive, never let our drinks go under half, was very polite and interacting with us. The manager on duty was also phenomenal, gave us a discount because my wife is a first responder .She was very attentive and respectful. Atmosphere was amazing and the food was very delicious and to top it off the price was very reasonable. Drove all the way up from New Orleans. My fiancé and I will definitely be back.“

“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 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“I have been coming to eggs up everyday for the past 2 months, I clearly love the staff the food everything about Eggs Up Grill wows me. The staff starts my day I am grateful I get to be surrounded by wonderful positive people. Thank you Ricky for running a tight CLEAN ship. Brittany for keeping my coffee full and Henery for making the best BLT I have ever had. Hats off to you all. Cant wait to see them in the morning. If you haven't came out and supported our local community I highly suggest that you do!“

“One of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in my life! I came in last night May 17th, all the workers were very polite and had good energy. Food turned out amazing. Usually dining out for me and my daughter is hit or miss since we have dietary restrictions, but the staff here were very respectful and made sure to attend to it. Overall great and efficient management. Will be going here again.“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I feel like they are family, everyone is very friendly, I love the food.“

“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!!!“

“Dylan was super friendly, and a wonderful bartender--made our visit extra fun!“

“Hey everyone if you haven’t had Kiki’s you need to go it is so good the food is all to die for its great environment it definitely hits the spot after a long day it’s all homemade. Please vist them“

“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 came to Nashville on vacation. This was our first food stop and it was so good that we came back 2 days later while staying in Nashville. The employees are friendly and attentive. We had drinks at the bar our first visit, and I had never had such delicious and well presented cocktails before. The bartender knew what he was doing and was a pleasure to speak with. The dogs are to die for; the burgers and fries did not disappoint either. 10/10 would recommend!“

“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.“

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

“What a nice brewery. The facility was beautiful. We really enjoyed the tour of the brewery. They have a great selection if beer & ciders.We ate dinner on the patio under the stars. The food & service was great. We met friends there. It's close to home. We will all return soon.“

“We had a large group come in for a family reunion the next day and needed somewhere to eat dinner the night before. They seated us outside on their large deck. Brooklyn was the sweetest server I’ve ever seen! She waited on us with patience and professionalism, which must have been a challenge, considering everyone was more interested in socializing and moving around. She got all of our separate checks tallied correctly and handed out little cards with inspirational verses on them. Those were the biggest hit of all! BTW - the food was delicious!😋“
