We had a pleasant lunch, but noticed the sign at the door that said the restaurant is closing in August. The service was quick and friendly. It was pretty busy for a late lunch time so I wonder why the business is closing down. I was able to get a vegetarian black bean and quinoa patty in a burger is my choice (Ramsey Pimento Cheeseburger). I got the kale salad instead of the fries and it tasted really good, I enjoyed it more than my burger. The sriracha cauliflower was really good as well. The bison burger was just ok and so were the Mac and cheese bites. read more

BEWARE of tip scamming! We ordered takeout from this place, and the host attempted to sneak in an extra 20% charge to our order while still expecting a tip beyond that amount. When my mom questioned the charge, she initially claimed it was a "takeout service charge" but quickly retracted and had her manager remove it. Afterward, the staff was unfriendly, and the manager even made her wait outside the restaurant for our order. To make matters worse, the food was subpar. The Bison burger was dry and had a strong gamey flavor. I'm not usually one to criticize a restaurant for making mistakes, but this behavior was completely unacceptable. read more

You know what went well? Majeska. I've been in customer service for 50 years and if I wasn't retired I'd be handing her my business card right now and telling her to come work for me. Food was good too honey Dijon mustard sauce with the sweet potato fries - perfection. read more

I am so sad that we are losing Burger Up! The wait for a table was almost 2 hours, but it was worth it to dine here before they closed. You could really tell that all the employees really love their job and their co-workers, it was such a welcoming environment. The burgers are perfectly cooked and the truffle fries have the perfect truffle flavor without being too overpowering. The star of the show for me is the Dijon aïoli! It's one of the best sipping sauce I have tasted! I have also tried the potato soup in the past, I ordered it for delivery when sick, and even at my worst and not being hungry at all I could still make myself eat the soup because it was so good! I will really miss this spot and the Dijon aïoli! read more

I'm devastated to hear of their closing! I had quite a few friends working at this restaurant over the years and it's always a go-to spot to bring visiting family and friends. Even when I didn't know someone working there, the staff treats everyone well and it's a big reason why the community loves this place so much. Parking is usually a hassle, but the food is well worth it! Burger buns are soft and fresh, their veggie burger/ quinoa fritters are amazing for vegans, and don't even get me started on their house honey mustard and ketchup! I'd love to see a cookbook with their recipes for when this place closes. read more

A very decent burger joint on famous 12th South in Nashville. It's a casual family friendly burger place and I believe they make some of their sauce which makes the taste pretty unique. Service was great and price was on point. read more

We love burger up! It's right in the heart of 12 south and their food is tasty. We love the mini nuggets appetizer. Their baked potato soup is great and they usually have good specials coordinating with the season. We have sat on the patio which is nice & intimate but we also love sitting inside for the ambiance. read more

I only have gotten to eat here one time and I was sad to hear they are closing like too many other placed due to crazy property tax increases. I usually like to eat at places a few times to give a better review but I won't be back to Nashville before they close. I'm used to awesome service in NOLA and Burger Up had really good service for a burger joint which I quickly learned this spot is a lot more than just a basic burger spot! I found the burger here to be one of the better burgers I've found in Nashville. My favorite burger is the thick burger patty style like we have in New Orleans and most Nashville burger spots have dissappointed me. Burger Up does have thicker burger patties just not quite as thick as the NOLA ones. The fries were cooked exactly like I want my fries to be! Overall this is a cool spot and they offer a lot of other nice looking food options besides burgers which sadly I won't get to sample any of that now. The ambiance of this spot and the 12 South neighborhood might get another place in this spot but with all the crazy taxes they might have to charge more than many people can pay to stay in business. I enjoy the 12 South area but it is so sad places that make 12 South the great neighborhood it has been seem to be getting driven out by the crazy taxes. It really is awful to have to keep hearing about all the places having to close because of these insane taxes! read more

Alexa play "This is what dreams are made of" by Hillary Duff. The food. The happy hour. The cocktails. Everything was SO incredible. Thomas was our server and he had incredible recommendations for us. The pimento cheeseburger was insane, and the fry flight was so worth splitting for the table. Came with a ton of sauces. The vibe was everything on the patio! Will 10000% be regulars after this!!! read more

It was packed and still the wait was decent, the staff was kind and upbeat and talked to everyone, the vibe was comfortable and felt like a great neighborhood hangout, and the food was so good I'm still thinking about it days later. So sad it's closing! read more

Amazing chicken salad! Highly recommend. It came with banana peppers on top which added a nice kick.

I've been to Burger Up a few times now over the years, and I feel pretty consistently about their food. It's me. You pay a lot for some really good items and others make you scratch your head. For example, I've had some really awesome soup and burgers from here. Then, the one time I decided to order a salad, it was an entire of what felt like a package of arugula and zero content for beets and pistachios. I asked for more substance, and the server was more than kind to get me more. However, for a $17 salad (my cousin bought us lunch), why was there none of this in there to begin with? The salad menu item touted being a winter salad, but I guess it was a mistake from the kitchen. Understanding this is 12South, pricing is a lot steeper than I'd care to pay for certain items. What is worth their costly mark up? Their sweet potato fries. Don't skip out on these. They're hands down delicious and worth every single penny paid. Being a burger place, don't be like me a get a salad. Just get the damn burger. That's the whole point of it being called "Burger Up", right? Right!!! read more

Blond college age hostess/waitress and tall college age manager should not be working here and were completely unprofessional. I walked in to ask to use the bathroom. I was told I could and then was completely ignored passive aggressively when I said thank you to the girl. When I came out of the bathroom, both employees were talking about me and the guy actually yelled "you're not even gonna say thank you!" As I left, even though I had said thank you prior to using the bathroom. Blondie was sure to glare at me as I left. If it was an issue to use the bathroom, they could've said so instead of talking about me behind my back like children and telling me it was fine. Hospitality is not the industry for them. It takes communication skills and maturity neither one of them possessed. I have eaten here before and had a wonderful experience, but will not be returning due to this horrific and unprofessional customer service experience from not only a waitress, but their manager as well. read more

The service was TRASH! The two ladies at the front laughed and talked for at least ten minutes before asking if I wanted service. After waiting the ten minutes - I attempted to order a "to-go" order. It was only then did she tell me that I had to order at the bar. The ambiance was nice. read more

Burger Up used to be so good!!! But my visit with a friend this week has completely tainted my fond memories from years past. A friend and I went to Burger Up for lunch this past week and we split the fry flight, Woodstock Burger and a Cesar salad. The fry flight was the only redeemable thing about our meal unfortunately. The burger bun was soggy and the patty was so dry we ended up both taking the patty off and eating it with a fork. The Cesar salad was also so bad? How do you mess up a Cesar salad?? It's insanely expensive considering you get no protein and barely any cheese. The sun dried tomatoes are gross and something is off with whatever dressing they are using. It's supposed to come with bacon but we found quite literally two tiny specs of it in the entire salad. It was pretty clear that we did not have a great meal because we barely ate anything but the server seems like she didn't wanna ask and we definitely didn't wanna be Karen's. read more

Black and blue burger with sweet potato fries was perfect fare on a Saturday afternoon in Nashville.

One of the best burgers in town! I have loved this place for years. Farm to table and local beef...can't beat it.

Ambiance was excellent as was the service. Waiter was spot on. I had the Woodstock burger medium which was well done and a little salty. But it tasted very good. The iced tea was excellent. I would go back. read more

they could do a lot better. Turkey burger had no taste and the bun was soggy. And I couldn't believe that dont serve Coffee !! What restaurant doesn't serve coffee???? On the plus side, the service is great. wait staff is kind and so was the bartender. I really hope their food improves. Kinda of a disappointment today. read more

I was a little skeptical of this at first. There was no smell of food outside. Place looked kind of plain inside. Took a chance on the burger and soup to be safe. It was love at first bite. Food was bursting in flavor. Price is good. Highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

A+ for this place. Servers were attentive, efficient and generally awesome. Was seated on a busy night no problems. Definitely barroom atmosphere- lots of mahogany but enough tables for family/ friends vibes. The burger was super good. Fries the same. Salt and flavor content and profiles just aligned. Ate every bite. Highly recommend. read more

Burger Up - Woodstock Burger - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I've been a Burger Up loyalist for over 6 years. Consistently good food and the service has always been great!

I'm absolutely appalled by what was delivered. This is, without a doubt, the most unappetizing burger I've ever seen. It arrived with a bite already taken out of the patty, the bun was completely soggy, the cheese was missing. This was supposed to be the Woodstock, but it's unrecognizable. I'm shocked that Burger Up would consider this remotely acceptable to serve, let alone deliver. read more

Burger Up - There's a bite taken out of it!! Disgusting! Woodstock Burger - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Service was great! We were in and out fast. Food arrived hot and quickly! Cool vibes inside and it was actually pretty full for a 4pm on a Saturday. Food was tasty - filling burger and lots of fries with house made ketchup (tasted more like tomato basil soup) and honey mustard. Would suggest this place if in the mood for American. They also offer fun holiday drinks which a lot of other tables had read more

You have to check out the 12 South neighborhood when visiting Nashville! This is a beautiful street and shopping area full of great restaurants, bars, and boutiques. The area is much more relaxed than broadway with a quiet and quaint environment. I didn't see any live bands but there are plenty of bars and restaurants with music. read more

The food was just regular and could take a bit more seasoning for me. The ambiance was nice. Beautifully decorated and swanky. Our server left much to be desired with her attentiveness but she was polite. Good thing was the manager came out and helped so he made up for it. It's on 12 S so parking is a bit hectic but still manageable. I came with a sort of large group (6ppl) so I imagine the experience is better with fewer than 6 ppl. Cute spot. read more

My friend and I came to dinner during our trip to Nashville. Service was good. I got the classic cheeseburger, it was good nothing too special. We also got their fry flight that came with sauces that was my favorite and the potato skins, soo good as well! read more

Best potato soup, since discovering Olive Garden's version is not the "sky!" It's savory, actually served beyond "Lukewarm," and hearty (With dual texture in use of potato) (topped with sour cream and quality bacon)! Tracy as a server is an added bonus! Late afternoon, was easy to establish seating. Note: bar seating is the only option for alternative seating in terms of height! read more

This is my go to burger spot in Nashville! I got the classic burger and it was so yum. My table also ordered the mac and cheese bites and enjoyed them as well. I typically don't enjoy sweet potato fries but I'd recommend them from here. The interior is warm and open and the staff is friendly. Overall a great experience! read more

Great bar, interesting menu, service is quick and precise. Menu specials change every month with seasonal themes. A fun young ambiance.

Had the chicken sandwich.. it was delicious. The house made ketchup has to be tomato soup. Everyone else in my party thought it was good. The happy hour drinks are definitely the move. The old fashioned was plentiful on the booze. All in all, if there is a question about going - go. read more

Overpriced, not a good experience. I wouldn't consider price for value to be very good, and it's just a giant rip off.

Great casual, quick burger spot in 12 south! The fry flight was sooooo delicious. The truffle fries were my favorite - you could actually taste the truffle and the sauce pairing was delicious. I got the French onion burger - wasn't positive I would love it when I ordered it but it was very solid. Would order something different next time though read more

Burger Up - Fry Flight - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I read the reviews and people LOVE the burgers and fries. So maybe it's me. We came and ordered potato skins. First, I have never had such small potatoes ever at a restaurant. We did order two burgers along with their fries. The burger and fries were overly bland. There was no seasoning or anything at all to wow me. I think the burgers I have had at fast food places are a million times better than here. Based off of what we ate, I have no idea at all how this has even remotely the great reviews this place does. Then again, maybe it's the time when we came. read more
