    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!

    Beet and Beet & Arugula Salad, I always add the quinoa patty if I don't order the quinoa fritters because it's so good!

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    Great place to sit and chat with friends. They have outside seating. The service was excellent our server was very attentive. The mushroom swiss burger was so filling and cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend this place is your in the mood for a burger.

    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!!!

    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.

    Ordered the French Onion Burger. It did not disappoint. Cooked medium. Onions, Brie, truffle oil. With Sweet potato fries. Hit the spot! Parking was a bit of a challenge. Service was impeccable. I would return and recommend.

    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.

    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.

    The burger patties were gray and overcooked. Not what I expect from $15 burgers. No more takeout for us!

    We've been to The Finch three times now--twice sitting at the bar and once at a table. We…read moredefinitely prefer the bar, but I think that's just because we're bar people! The bar has two hidden TVs that you can only see when you sit at the bar, which is such a cool touch. It keeps the space feeling upscale without sacrificing the ability to catch a game. The overall ambiance is great, and the music is always at the perfect volume for an easy conversation. The drinks have been consistently excellent. We've tried both cocktails and wine, and everything has been delicious. The wine is a little overpriced in our opinion, but it was so good that I'm glad we still ordered it! On our most recent visit, we started with the burrata. It was very good, but I do wish there had been more sauce and more cantaloupe. The sauce felt more like an accent than something that really tied the dish together. That said, the perfect bite was definitely the burrata with the prosciutto and cantaloupe! For our entrees, Jonathan ordered the pork chop, and I had the piri piri chicken. Both came with broccolini and patatas bravas. I was expecting traditional Spanish-style patatas bravas, so when whole baby potatoes showed up, I was initially a little disappointed. Don't let that fool you, though--these potatoes were incredible!!! Crispy on the outside, perfectly cooked on the inside, and packed with flavor! They ended up being one of my favorite parts of the meal! My piri piri chicken was fantastic! The portion was much larger than I expected, and the piri piri sauce served on the side was absolutely lick-the-plate good. I found myself dipping the potatoes and broccolini in it because it was just that delicious. Piri piri isn't something you come across often in Nashville, and The Finch absolutely nails it--and at a really reasonable price. Jonathan's pork chop was cooked perfectly with great flavor. It wasn't an over-the-top, show-stopping dish, but for around $30--including both sides--at a more upscale restaurant, it's hard to beat the value. One more recommendation: get the volcano rock shrimp. We had it on a previous visit, and we still talk about it! It's easily one of our favorite dishes we've had here. The Finch has been consistently good every time we've visited, and that's what keeps bringing us back! Great food, great drinks, a fun atmosphere, and solid value for the quality. We'll definitely be back again!

    Visited Finch while exploring The Gulch neighborhood. I didn't have a reservation, but I was able…read moreto get seated right away, which was nice. I really liked the decor, the space was very pretty and had a great atmosphere. I ordered the blackened redfish. It felt very heavily seasoned , almost like the seasoning was the main flavor, and I couldn't really taste anything else. The seasoning was delicious, but I would have liked to experience more of the actual dish and ingredients. The sauce was good, and the mashed potatoes underneath were a nice touch. Service was okay, although I would have appreciated being checked on a little more often. I also asked for a cup of sparkling water but received and was charged for a large bottle, even though I was dining alone.
