I'm struggling to think of something this place does not do well. The food is great and unique. Service is irregularly fast considering the quality. Servers are friendly and good at what they do. And the place is spotless with modern and interesting decor. My friends and I have been here 4 times in the last week and a half. We have yet to try something we didn't like. read more

Brauburgers wasn't mind blowing, but it's quite good for the price. My friends who know beer better than I do assure me their selection is quite good (they also particularly mentioned the chocolate/peanut butter beer that's available as being worth checking out) I ordered their cheeseburger with most of the toppings and added pork belly to it. I definitely recommend the brau burger sauce in particular. The burger was very good, not the best I've had, but well worth it's cost (about 6 dollars alone, 8 for a combo which includes slaw and fries). The fries themselves are also very good. Service wasn't anything special, nor was it bad. Same goes for the overall feel of the place. With the TVs, it felt like any small sports bar to me. read more

Bräuburgers has been our favorite place for a beer and burger. The last 2 times have been a disappointment. The service was slow, they had run out of Bud Light draft and before the evening was over they were also out of Bud Light bottle on a Saturday evening. When we did get our food it was luke warm. One person didn't even get what he ordered. He didn't complain mainly because we didn't want to wait for a replacement. Guess we'll have to find a another spot. read more

One of the best restaurants in Forest, but that's a small number. The kids Mac is too peppered and had a funny texture. The first few times we went, I like the atmosphere. The last time, it felt like hooters. The first time our waitress was a pro. The last time, not so much. The wings and burgers are awesome, the loaded nachos are below average (ground beef was pretty bad). I will go back to try more on the menu, and hope we get our awesome waitress again. read more

Had a great experience on my birthday. Service from Taylor was fantastic! Food was well priced atmosphere was calm yet inviting. The beer selection was outstanding. Will definitely come back when I'm in the area read more

Party of 2. Showed up, name on the list. 20 minute wait with 5 or 6 tables open? Okay... Entire families show up after us and are seated before us-- no res., just piss poor communication between hostesses/waitresses. Finally get seated--at a table with the dish rag still on it. Hostess that sat us asked for our drink order, never said or did anything about the table or the rag, or the food all over it. Amazed, we waited for drinks. She comes back, hands us the drinks, LEAVES THE DISH RAG, and says our waitress will be with us at some point. We got our shit and left. TLDR Name on the list, but they seat whoever whenever because reading is hard; seated at a disgusting table with the dirty rag still sitting on it. I don't even know what happened. No explanation. Doesn't matter, won't be back soon. read more

UPDATE: Fourth try yesterday and I am updating my rating to a five-star! Ordered my burger medium and emphasized to the server that I really reeeeally wanted to see a little pink in the middle. Sure enough, it came out so juicy and flavorful that I didn't even add ketchup or mustard (my usual burger go-to's). Honestly one of the tastiest burgers I've ever had! Definitely will be back!!! ............... {initial review} I love the new location on Rivermont because it's in our neighborhood and the patio is fabulous, but after 3 tries (two dine in and a third takeout), I feel compelled to leave a review in hopes that the owner will take the constructive critique seriously and make some adjustments. Every single burger we've ordered thus far has been notably over cooked. The first time, we made the mistake of asking for medium well, and what we got were black, shrunken patties that were barely edible. Bummer but they'd just opened so we attributed it to a one-time glitch, and our server kindly took them off the bill. The next two visits we ordered our burgers medium, and both times all burgers hadn't a trace of pink- they were thoroughly well done and fairly dry. Honestly, I'm debating if I should ask for rare next time just to see what comes out. Also, they gave us potato buns instead of brioche in our order today- not a deal breaker, but it doesn't help our already less-than-wowed feelings. For the money, I feel like I can get a thicker, juicier, and more accurately-cooked burger at Red Robin, Five Guys, or honestly even Wendy's (I know, ouch). I'm bummed guys! BB Rivermont, I hope you see this and reassess your patty situation, because I want to love you! Sincerely, Your Burger-Loving Neighbor read more

The food was nothing special I've had plenty of burgers that where a lot better , the service however was excellent and the atmosphere is fantastic would've been 5 stars if the food wasn't subpar but overall not a bad place if on food alone it would've 1 or 2 stars read more

Loved the SouthWest burger and sweet-potato waffle fries. All three of us enjoyed the burger. Loved it is a better review. Waffles for sweet-potatoes cooked just perfect as most places can't get sweet potatoes crunchy. Would visit again. We sat outside as it was cool enough. Sweet tea needs lots of ice (1/2 cup or more) as it comes out warm. Waitress was great and replaced. read more

Brauburgers came on in a big way. Did not think going across from Benjamins was smart but they compete in a big way. There new location is beautiful and the food is just as good. Perfect spot for all ocassions read more

This is probably my favorite burger place in town! They have great burgers, fries , fried cheese, anything! I haven't had a bad meal here! The staff is usually kind and quick. I have only had problems with a few of the hostess' but that doesn't stop us from coming back! read more

This is the best restaurant ever. While the burger I got wasn't my favorite, I could tell they were quality ingredients and I'll definitely be back to try something else. The staff was so friendly and it was a very relaxed setting. The music was awesome and not too loud, sports were on various tvs yet weren't distracting, plus the atmosphere was a cool modern gastropub. Also the bartender was kind and a genius. I left feeling super happy because it's just such a positive environment. read more

See all

Brauburgers - Hawaiian burger was absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!! - Burgers Near Me - Forest, Virginia

Love this place! Went for the second time last night. Lynchstock was happening across the street and so the restaurant was bogged down and understaffed. However, our server was awesome, fast, and super friendly despite being at the end of a 12-hour shift. We had to wait quite a while for our food (this didn't happen our first visit), but the manager, Phil, came out and personally apologized. He gave us 25% off our ticket, and free desserts! Some people complain about the service but it seems they are making a big effort to improve it. We were very satisfied. But the bottom line is: AMAZING burgers. AMAZING fries. Do it. read more

I really wish I had a good experience here because the atmosphere of the restaurant is great. First, one of the hostesses is about to seat us, then picks up the phone. Multiple parties who arrived after us were helped by the other hostess during this time. Five minutes later, she is still on the phone so I went up to the other hostess asking to be seated. She said the last table was just taken. After finally being seated, our waitress could not find menus for us. She came back 20 minutes later with their old menu that had a bunch of items crossed out in Sharpie since it was their "rough draft" menu. I ask for a chocolate banana milkshake and ten minutes later she comes back saying they don't have banana ice cream left. We finally got our burgers which were really good, just kind of small. After attempting to flag down our waitress multiple times we ask for a pie off the menu, five minutes later she comes back and said they ran out. At that point we just asked for the check. I was so sad to have such a bad experience at this place. The burgers were pretty good but terrible customer service. read more

Good burgers and fries. The challenge is the wait staff and service. We ate here the day after Christmas and the restaurant had all sorts of trouble. Three tables sat down after us and ate then subsequently left before we got our food. Plain burgers were apparently a challenge. Beer was good but half the things on the list were gone. It took forever for the bartender/waitress to get our drinks, then we saw the bartender chilling outside on the smokers patio and it made sense why it was so slow. It's unfortunate, good food and atmosphere ruined by lazy staff and poor leadership read more

Awesome food and selection! Got the boneless wings and my husband got a burger. Sat outside to enjoy the cool breeze and sun. Will come back!! read more

Oh my. Just got finished with the Berliner. I honestly think it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. Excellent fries as well. My better half had a salad w/chicken and it was extremely fresh. Thumbs up all the way. read more

My favorite burger place in Forest. Good burgers, interesting array of shooters, service has never failed yet. Their fries are good too.

My burger was a little overcooked, but the wings were very well prepared (try the sweet Thai chili). Creative takes on burgers, will be back soon. read more

This is for the new location on Rivermont Ave since they don't have a page up yet: Wait a month or so before visiting the new location while they figure things out! Based on reviews of the original in Forest, the new location was extremely disappointing. There were a lot of workers around, but not much actually happening. Many of the servers congregated in the back and just socialized for the majority of my party's time in the restaurant. I guess if you're going to work to hang out with your friends, at least do it in the server's station where you're not disrupting FOH. It took quite a bit for our food to arrive, and then the fries were cold. I wasn't super impressed with my burger, but I got a plain veggie burger, so I guess that's partially my fault! (If you do go veggie/vegan though, I hope you like lentils!) There was even a sign right when you walk in apologizing for the potential for rocky service. I just feel like that's setting up the experience for failure. I've worked in the service industry before, so I empathize that there's a margin of error whenever opening a new place, but I really hope they get things fixed up soon! 2.5/5 read more

First time eating here after many recommendations from friends. It did not disappoint. The burger was perfectly cooked. The fries were spot on. Crispy on the outside yet still creamy on the inside. Needless to say I will be back. read more

Burgers are mediocre. They burnt both of the burgers i ordered. I also ordered a 3 pretzel appetizer, and got 15 pretzel pieces that were rubber. I could make better food at home easily, and im no chef. Upsetting. read more

Let me start off by saying they have amazing burgers! I give the burgers 5 stars. I give my last 3 experiences there 2 stars... for an average of 3.5. I've been 4 times total. The first time was excellent - my husband and I decided to try it for the first time and loved it! The second time I went with a coworker. The server sat us in the partial outside space and she was not proactive. I'm not sure if it's due to us being the only ones out there but it was very hard to locate her, our drinks were barely refilled, and our food took a while. This was extra disappointing because it was cold and we were on a time limit due to being on our lunch break. Plus I had raved about the place to my co-worker. We work downtown, but made the 20-25 minute trip. She never apologized or anything - we ate our food, pay the bill, and went back to work. My third time there I went with my husband and another couple. They were having live music that night. Not that we don't like live music, but the space is very limited for live music to be going on. Not to mention we were sat right beside the guy. We ordered our food, we waited, got a break from the music when the guy took a break, received our food, and the order was messed up. Everyone with missing their bacon, two of us were missing or cheese, and we had to ask for the sauces we asked for on the side multiple times. We were polite, figured they were busy, gave everyone the benefit of the doubt, ate our food, paid our bill, and left. My fourth experience was just about a week ago. It was a Sunday afternoon. I went in and told them that I had a total of six people - 4 adults, one kid, and would need a sling for a car seat if they had one. The hostess immediately looked at me and said, "we are full right now. I don't have a table" and had a long pause. When I asked her how long the wait would be she looked around looked at me, looked around again and said I don't know we are full. I said, we will wait. I then asked her if she like my name and informed her that we would be waiting outside. This was disappointing because I the customer had to be proactive in putting my name on the waitlist, she never offered. While we waited we watch multiple people leave and a few people come in. After about 15 minutes and realizing the people who went in never came out, I went in and reminded her that I was outside. She immediately looked puzzled. I am guessing it's because there was a table, but she sat those other people that just came in. I am sure she could tell that I was annoyed. I went back outside and sat on the bench. After a few minutes she came outside and said that she wanted to place us in the outside part but she was waiting on that party to leave and had no idea when they were going to leave. She then went on to say that she didn't have another table big enough for us. Although we could have fit at the table she had just that the other party we didn't say anything and agreed to a booth. The young lady apologized multiple times. I'm pretty sure that she realize what she did was wrong and that it could be taken as racial discrimination, as we were the only African-American party. Right before she came out we were actually discussing leaving. We took the booth and ordered our food. Once again they forgot our bacon. We had asked for the condiment multiple times. My husbands boneless wings were nothing more than Tyson chicken wings out of the bag... And not to mention that the waitress asked the little girl with us multiple times if she wanted to wash dishes to pay for the meal. I politely commented that she did not have to wash dishes to pay for her meal or our meal, and she would never have to! We discuss this at our table and spoke about how with everything going on right now it could be taken very racial, but we gave her the benefit of the doubt and said that she was just trying to make small talk with the child and did not mean anything by it. At least I hope she didn't! I'm just glad it with us and not someone that would be bitter - that conversation could have went very bad! As I've said before - the burgers (not the chicken) are great! The service could really use some work. I'm not asking that the African-American community he treated any differently in terms of receiving special treatment - but it would be nice to know that we are respected and honored just like everyone else will post to their door. My family is very hard-working for every dollar we have and expect to be treated fairly and with respect. We also like our orders correct. The staff could definitely use some additional training. read more

Best hamburgers around in this community! The people are great as well as the atmosphere. Surprisingly they had Dirt Late Model racing on one of their TVs while we where there. So, that's a plus in my book! read more

Went to the Rivermont location tonight with three friends, upon walking in was unsure if to seat myself or wait for a server. After waiting for about 10 minutes without being acknowledged by anyone on staff, I sat down. The restaurant was packed and there were only 2 servers on the floor, including the bar. (How does this happen?!) Sat for about 20 more minutes without being acknowledged by staff at all or even given a menu or water. There were multiple other customers as confused as I was or waiting at dirty tables or waiting obviously irritated. Got up on left. Would be hesitant to return read more

Service is usually good, never fast, but always nice. Pizza, burgers, and wings, are always delicious. My favorite spot to get wings actually! Beer list is huge! The kids always love getting a shake to-go. Plus the "outside" seating is year around. Price is pretty average for the area as well. Two thumbs up! read more

These are some of the best burgers I've ever had, and customizing your burger is super easy. The sweet potato fries here are the best I've ever had, although all of their fries are worth the calories! They also have good beers on tap, and the wings are great! They just expanded to a new building in the same area, and more space was all that they were lacking at the old location! read more

I was greeted, seated, ignored for 15 minutes and left. The wait staff passed by our table a few times and waited on a customer that arrived after I did. Unfortunate but sometimes commonplace. read more

The first time I went was just after graduation. My boyfriend an I decided to try the Hawaiian burger. It was surprisingly good! If you like sweet and tangy, you'll enjoy it. Our friend got the classic Brauburger and wouldn't stop raving about the brauburger sauce (he still does, sometimes). The fries were perfect. Just the right amount of crunch on the outside. We all loved the atmosphere. It could easily be a family restaurant or a chill place to hang with the gang. I really got a kick out of the cardboard animal head mounts. It's clean and the staff is friendly. I went back with my parents a few months later and it was just as good as I remembered it. read more

Amazing jalapeno burger , always pleased with the service ! So many great beers on tap!

Ordered curbside and they didn't even know what order was mine couldn't find it in the computer had to wait forever to even be helped. Ordered two burgers and serving of fries was the size of one for both orders very small and ordered burgers medium and they was burnt and crispy and flavorless. Tried to call and report it but no one ever answered the phone won't be going back read more

Good atmosphere with interesting wall art, really good back story on the family business, and good food with amazing mac and cheese.

If you are a fan of BBQ burgers, their Stuttgart BBQ burger is one of the best, if not the best BBQ burger you will ever have. I do go around and try other spots to see, and in all my travels, I have yet to find another spot that does it as well as they do. Go ahead and order one, you deserve it, and your tastebuds will thank you. read more

Brauburgers is my favorite burger joint in Lynchburg! They have great black bean burgers that are a great alternative to those with dieting / health restrictions. The atmosphere is fun, and TV's are seen throughout the entirety of the small restaurant. Its a great spot to grab some friends and watch a game, while eating a great burger. read more

Pros: The hostess (Autumn) was nice and asked if I wanted my food to go or if I wanted to eat in...I wasn't even thinking about to go...but I decided to take it to go...big mistake! She said it would be ready in about 5 minutes at 4:26 (per the receipt...continued in the cons below) The sauce was very tasty Cons: Like many I decided to pass my time by getting on social media...I think we all know how easy it is to lose track of time. By the way there were 5 cars or less in the parking lot when I came in...staff way out numbered patrons. At around 4:50 I realized that well over 5 minutes had passed so I asked Autumn the status of my order...she went to check...long story short: 5 minutes turned into more than 25, the bun was soggy by time I ate it 10 minutes later (I got the sauce on the side), the burger was edible (that's all I'm going to say about that!) and no napkins, glad I had some from Papa John's in my glove compartment...this place was a major disappointment to say the least! I'm being generous in giving them a 2! Advice to management...you waste your advertising $s when you fall flat on your delivery and your signage is hard to see if you aren't familiar with the area...I almost gave up trying to find you...I wish I would have gave up!! read more

I thought the food was great and the service was relatively quick, but be sure to bring a jacket because the A.C. is turned up very high!

I got a carry out order and they have a separate counter for that and it is straight ahead pass the bar and some tables. I had called ahead and it was ready a couple of minutes after I got there in under 10 minutes. Skyler assisted me and was super friendly. I got the Stuttgart, it was very tasty. It has BBQ sauce, bacon, vidalia onion and gouda. Nice soft bun and I really like the flavors, they all blended well together. I really like the fries, awesome taste with just the right amount of salt. I find it a lil expensive for a burger and fries but if and when I get the urge, I will be back! read more

The boneless wings are some of the best I have ever had and so are the homemade potato chips and fresh lemonade and it a great price you definitely get what you pay for and more and staff are excellent read more
