My favorite burger joint in Nashville. I've been eating here and taking friends here for years. I love the atmosphere, the service is always great, and the burgers are awesome. I'm always torn between the Black and Blue burger, or the Marathon. You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu! read more

It smells so good from the street but don't be fooled. So gross my goodness. Mac and cheese balls were burnt and tasted like fried flour. Fries were soggy and reminiscent of five guys (just 3 times as expensive). The 15 dollar burgers come on fast food buns... overpriced low quality fast food. read more

really good burger meat. if you like good meat flavor i highly suggest the burger . the fries are a good product as well. Probably a good idea if you're hungry & you wanna eat. Epstein did not kill himself. read more

I love to run in and grab some truffle sweet potato fries as a snack. Great serving for the price. They also have a great veggie burger and their quinoa balls for an app are amazing! read more

First time there, I ordered a portabella mushroom burger, the wife ordered a classic medium. We ordered fried pickles for an appetizer. The pickles, not sure if that was how they were supposed to be, but not quite right (breading falling off / nuclear hot) but they were ok, The portabella mushroom burger arrived at about room temperature, it was not foul but it really was not special. The fries were not cold, but not warm. The last edible temperature you would touch them. My wife's burger was not how she ordered it / it was well done, and just warmish when it arrived. Fries were also not cold but not right. At the end of the meal, it was expensive, not very good. Not something I would ever go back for. I'll point out at this point both of us thought they might just have had a bad day. We left disappointed but not angry. 4 hours later, my stomach is pretty much in a knot, possibly from them not cooking the portabella enough / prepping it in a meat area, perhaps not. It could just be something I picked up, but that burger now haunts me. Signed up for Yelp just for this. My wife mentioned that a burp 4 hours later also seemed tastier than her Classic. So yeah, take a review from a vegetarian and a carnivore, neither fare there was worth repeating. It's not the worst place I've ever been, but on a 1-5 scale where 2 is "meh". I'd just say buyer beware, reading the reviews I'd 1) make them make your burger like you order it, 2) not accept not-warm food. The waitstaff was pretty friendly, The place was clean. If the food was better I would go back, but it wasn't. read more

I like burgers, I like local eateries and I like this neighborhood. So I was wicked disappointed after all the 'rave reviews' from the internet and 2 friends that this place sucked. Yes, it's a low blow and a word I don't take lightly. But 'Burger Up' deserves it. It's one star comes from the fact that it's cute; extremely cute actually. As for the food? My burger came out charred after I asked for medium rare because I was excited to see they had fresh beef from the area. It was so overdone it could have been a freezer patty from Iowa. My fries were served in a trendy tin cup. Um, in theory cute. However, common sense and half a brain would tell you that all my bottom fries will be soggy and disgusting! (which they were) The 'freshmade' bun was too thick and didn't taste fresh at all. The saddest part of all is this: I am a condiment whore. I seriously love condiments and think a good one would make me eat shoe leather. But their 'fancy maple ketchup' tasted like....ketchup and the poshly named ranch? You guessed it, tasted like, well, ranch. As for service the lone beer I ordered (nothing on the adult beverage menu under $5 or $6 bucks, btw) came right away but it took ages for the food to come out. I kind of want to give this place a second chance, but the steep prices keep me from doing so. I will take Cheeseburger Charlie's over this. Lame. read more

So, I came to a burger joint with a vegan... and I really enjoyed myself. First of all, what is the '12 South' business? Oh Nashville, you have so many joys for me to discover. Again, I am pretty firm in my belief that these areas didn't exist back when I lived here and judging by all the new construction and rehabbed facades, I am going with "I'm right" (per ushe). The decor at BU is open, light, industrial, and fun. Great for small groups. My rambling preamble actually has a point: no matter what you like to eat, I'm pretty sure that you can find something you'll enjoy at Burger Up. We started with fries of the sweet potato and truffle variety. The fried okra caught my eye, despite not really enjoying the slimy veggie. Eventually, the aioli kept me from committing... but if you're into either element, go for it. The fries were delicious, as you would imagine ,and the lemonade I ordered paired nicely with it. My belly warmed up, I was ready for the main event Again, I toyed with the idea something other than I wound up getting. The fried oyster po boy seems almost undeniable. The words formed on my lips to order, as I imagined sinking my pearly whites into the sandwich. But, at 'Burger Up', you have to get a burger, don't you? I ordered the turkey burger despite my aversion to mayo. AT BU, mayo, in some form, is unavoidable. As much as I dislike ordering a dish that differs from the chefs' vision, but the mayo this is sort of a non-negotiable. So, I got the bird burger without mayo and chowed down on some juicy poultry topped with avocado, caramelized red onions, romaine, and tomato. It was nothing ground-breaking, but it was thoroughly enjoyable. If I ate beef, there were some more daring combos available but, again. Vision. Original recipe. Not differing. Oh, and my vegan friend went to town on a quinoa and black bean burger. So, there's that. Beef, bird, beans. Eat it all at Burger Up. read more

This is my second time at Burger Up and it didn't fail to disappoint. Great selection of burgers - from turkey, to bison, to vegetarian - and delicious regular and sweet potato fries. Definitely try (and mix) the house ketchup and mustard aioli! Awesome ambiance and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend! read more

Burger Up tastes like a butt. They make a patty that is somewhere between bad and mediocre, then fancy them up by putting "stuff" on them. If you charge that kind of price for a burger, please perfect the burger part first. I make a significantly better burger at home, and I'm dumb. Lots of potential, though. I urge you guys to work on your patties. And for the love of god, get some real ketchup. read more

Don't believe the hype. I only give 2 stars because I can get better burgers within 2 miles of here and have a far more comfortable experience (Gabby's and Melrose). The burgers are good to very good, but you are cramped and on top of the other tables around you. Also, if I am going to pay $13 for a burger, it better knock my socks off, and it didn't. Parking is also a biach. read more

I wanted to hate this place so badly. Seriously, eleven dollar burgers? The staff wear v-neck t shirts, the deep ones, and suspenders. They all have the most amazingly bad haircuts that cost 140 dollars. In Nashville people pay extra to look bad. fucking hipsters. all lined up outside around the block all day long. fixed gear bikes, beards and skinny jeans everywhere. God save us all. ** but here I am giving the place five stars... I had heard a lot of mixed reviews...but I have to try every burger that hits the "best burger" rankings, just to be objective. We tried the Woodstock (bacon cheeseburger, eleven bucks) and the Lamb (lamb burger with boursin cheese, seriously, what is that even? thirteen bucks) answer? Delicious that's what it is!! both burgers were among the best I have ever had. Hate to admit it, but there it is. I do not know anything about boursin cheese, but I am about to find out. Fries were good. drinks were awesome. (Verde Especial Margarita and an amazing non-alcoholic ginger brew). The staff were really kind and pleasant to be around. I guess I must be a hipster somewhere deep down inside because I felt at home and....loved it. Great all around experience. Sit at the bar, you can skip the line, and it is all community seating so you will be sitting with strangers anyway! The Burger was not cooked to order (Medium...it was definitly well done, but...it tasted so good...) that's the only complaint I have. All in all the burgers were Almost worth the extreme cost just based on taste, but when you throw in that the meat is local and the animals were well treated it is totally worth the extra cost. A plus. plus a few mustaches....geez, hipsters. read more

I first heard about Burger Up when I randomly read a blurb about Reese Witherspoon dining here with her new husband Jim Toth. If it is good enough for Elle Woods it is good enough for the rest of us, right? The most important thing to know about Burger Up is their focus on quality. They only buy their meat from one source and that is a local ranch in Williamson county. The quality of the food is incredible! Some of the most popular items are the truffle fries, sweet potato fries and Krispy creme donut pudding which is an orgasm on a plate. My favorite burger was the Woodstock though I also tried and loved the lamb burger. They do offer other options for vegetarians. Burger Up is very popular. Be ready for a wait during peak times. Though burgers are the staple the vibe here is more upscale with full benches and small tables to eat on surrounded by a candlelight setting. They have a full bar with wonderful cocktails. The biggest plus is the focus on quality and sustainability. You will not be disappointed with Burger Up. read more

Reluctant to return... I met with friends at Burger Up tonight, and had a great experience with the Marathon Burger. The veggie burger! Quinoa and black bean, crispy cooked and awesome. I absolutely recommend it, and I've always thought Burger Up's truffle fries were rock 'n roll. I wouldn't order any other fries offered! The burgers are too expensive, bar none. They just are. I won't be frequenting here very often, but I did surprisingly enjoy my visit tonight. read more

So so good! Such a Nashville staple. The Jack Daniel's burger is my favorite and you can not go wrong with any fry choice. Highly recommend the happy hour and the fry flight they serve. read more

Truffle fries. Say it with me folks: Truffle. Fries. I opted to split the bison burger, the "holiday" salad, and the truffle fries. Let me tell you, no disappointments here! The burger was perfectly cooked, and the toppings offered just the right amount of mixed texture. It was like having a gourmet chef make me a burger in my backyard. The mixture of low-key and high-end taste made me wish I had a bigger stomach. The salad alone would bring me back to Burger Up because it really was that good. I just wish they could teach other restaurant chefs how to dress a salad (yes, dress - not DRENCH). The truffle fries get their own paragraph, because they were amazeballs. Our waiter suggested the honey (dijon?) mustard with the truffle fries, but I opted for a combo of that and the Jack Daniel's maple ketchup. Yes, you read that right. Are you in a cab on your way to Burger Up yet?? And lastly, the atmosphere was super chill and laid back. The wait staff was friendly and quick, the decor was really cool and had a great mix of modern, retro, and vintage. I love that everything is really relaxed and almost picnic bench style seating (although, everyone gets their very own mini bench). I do realize that I paid a fairly high price for a burger, salad and fries (albiet DELICIOUS burger, salad and fries), but I definitely took into consideration the fact that they buy from small, local farmers. I appreciate supporting the local market, and I certainly felt like the food was up to par with the bill. So, what did we learn today, kiddies? Thaaat's right. Truffle fries. read more

Great community vibe... i've run into friends and struck up conversation with new ones each time i've been in. Its nice to have new hang within walking distance of my house. I've stuck to the classic burger and love it... everything from the buns to the ketchup is made in-house and has unique taste. The bar had pretty much whatever i wanted... last night the bartenders made some homespun watermelon concoction. To touch on some other reviews... i understand everyone has a different experience, but to say the place is 'too hipster' seems like someones still jaded from feeling left out in high school... and personally attacking the owner is tasteless and has no place in a review. We should be glad we don't all have someone looking over our shoulder attacking our motives. I like what Burger Up is trying to do and i like that they hired a bunch of folks representative of our Nashville community... if you need a non-musician wait staff who dresses just like you and takes you to prom, you're probably in the wrong town. read more

This should be a 3.5, but I'll give a 4 so as not to make you think it sucks or anything. Had the Lavender Lemonade ($10) they were promoting, it was very tasty. Not sure it collides with upscale burger cuisine, but who cares I guess. My black & blue burger ($10) was very good, though yes the patties are small and we forgot to say how we wanted it cooked and he forgot to ask, so it was more well done than I cared for. Seriously, don't think you're going to split this burger because you're gonna end up hungry. Their maple ketchup is nice, but I'm not gonna write my mom about it. Not sure what it was but this place just didn't knock my socks off. Probably was the clientele which was mostly of the "I'm 20 and I came here to show everyone I'm awesome" variety, combined with the staff, which another Yelper VERY accurately described as too immersed in their hipster subculture to be very friendly. Honestly, I felt like they thought they were doing me a favor by allowing me to walk in there. Speaking of, there ain't much walking space to be had in here. We were also seated at some sort of community table, which can be cool but not my preference. I probably won't visit again, but it's not bad atall. read more

Burger Up was one of the spots I had bookmarked before my trip to Nashville. Several of my colleagues had given high praise, and I was staying in the neighborhood, so it was a solid lunch destination for Sunday of my trip. I was very pleased to see a Bloody Mary listed on the chalkboard, because I was HURTING with a capital H upon arrival. I sucked down two and started to feel like life was worth living again. They were also quite delicious. Our little blonde server was a peach and asked us where we were from and how we liked our trip when she realized we weren't locals. We started with the fried pickles which were good. I especially liked the dipping sauce. All of the burgers sounded awesome but I was drawn to the bison burger with white cheddar, lettuce, tomato, fried red onion and fried jalapeños. I also subbed in a side of the truffle fries. The burger was served a perfect medium, as requested. Totally awesome, and my only regret is that I got full really quickly and could only eat about half of what was on my plate. Most of the seating is communal, and I do wish I would have requested an individual table as there was very little space between us and our neighboring diners. It would have been perfect had we been with a larger group. I would likely return if I found myself in Nashville again. read more

Noting up front that this place just opened and appears to be working out some kinks. Despite giving them only two stars for now, I hope to try them out again later to see if things have smoothed out/improved and will update my review then. This is basically an upscale burger restaurant, along the lines of Flip Burger in Atlanta. With the upscale tag comes a rather hefty cost - burgers for two plus an order of fried mushrooms was close to $40. Pros: The beef burger we got was super tasty. I'm picky about burger buns and this one was delicious. The sweet potato fries were quite good. Cons: Overpriced for the quality. We got the quinoa & black bean burger and it was disgusting mush, just nasty. The side of onion rings that came with one burger included 5 tiny rings. The batter on the onion rings & fried mushrooms, while pleasantly crispy, was flavorless. Completely inconsistent food. No milkshakes! I'm hoping they can work some of the issues out because it's an interesting idea and a great location, but right now it just isn't there. read more

Burger up is a nice little burger joint in Nashville. We came in the afternoon so there was plenty of seats available. Servers were nice and friendly. The restaurant itself is clean and orderly with a nice ambiance. They have a bar area on one side of the restaurant opposite the entrance. The size of the place is okay with plenty of seating areas. They have stools instead of regular chairs which is really cute and unique and adds to the character of the place. The burger was okay but nothing special. So was the sweet potato fries. The best part of the meal, for me, was the fried pickles with ranch... very yummy. The price is fairly reasonable with burger prices ranging from $9 to $12 - not bad since it comes with house fries. More than likely, I won't be back the next time I come visit Nashville...unless, of course, my friends insist on coming here :) read more

Okay, I know I may get hammered for my review but I'm not totally digging Burger Up. I LOVE what they stand for, I do, and the quality is great but the price just kills me. I had a burger, fries, soup and martini: total $30 with tip. $30?? That's just too much-y. The person I was dining with also wasn't blown out of the park. He felt the toppings on the burger were a little small. I will say I've only gone once, over 8 months ago, and I have yet to feel like I need to go back. So, I mean, that really says it all for me. Bummer. read more

"Burger Up" Burgers...are?? Ok. Maybe the over extended rants and hype about the burgers at "Burger Up" escalated my expectations. The burger I had was "ok" good. It wasn't "soooooo gooood" that I could say its in the top 3 of BNA. I gotta stick by my standards. Burger up has some things I think rock but they don't really transpire over into everyday awesome food for a good price. The location alone exudes a "Wannabe Snooty" type of a burger place. I've always believed, that burgers are better made.. "un-gourmeted". You grill some exotic meats, so what, its still the meat that makes them taste great. (Say that in a Christopher Walken Tone) I couldn't tell if the fries were really done in truffle oil.The parmesan cheese flakes worked. I really think its a gimmick for the "Richy Riches "in the area to make themselves feel better about eating a burger. The selection of locally raised beef was a plus. The homemade ketchup was refreshing. The atmosphere is respective and I will say the service was excellent. The menu offers a comfortable selection of entrees to both carnivores and herbivores. The highlight here is fancy schmancy burgers made from beef. My Synopsis: Its for "Sheeple" who wanna buy a burger and not feel bad about eating one cause its "Organic or something??" read more

The deliciousness of the Woodstock burger cannot possibly overshadow the extreme discomfort of having fellow diners stacked on top of each other. Their "community" tables are the silliest thing I've ever seen - when you're a party of two being sat smack dab in the middle of a table made for 8, the sounds of the party of 4 on your left and the couple on a date on your right (make that three inches to your right) drown out any possibility of you having your own dinner conversation and force you to eat your food with elbows glued to your side. I guess they figure if they make you wait long enough, you'll be willing to sit anywhere just to be fed (which was pretty much the situation we found ourselves in). Simply put, the burger is good, but I've had better/equally as good (PM, Hoss, M.L. Rose, etc.) and the seating situation, unless you're in a larger party or if you're lucky enough to snag one of the few two-tops, just sucks. And at $28 for two burgers with fries and one iced tea, you can get much more for your money elsewhere. read more

Burger FAIL. After reading all the reviews, my wife and I were highly anticipating eating here, but the whole event turned out to be fairly disappointing and flaccid. The Good: We were seated almost immediately, even though we were told we'd have to wait 20 minutes. The crab cake (Notice: ONE cake) was delicious! It reminded me of my first crab cake experience in Maryland. The Bad: I ordered the Woodstock medium RARE. After 20 minutes, I was still sans burger. From my experience, organic beef should need about 1/3 less time to cook since there is less fat and more protein. The waitress said my patty was not to the chef's approval, and I was appreciative of the attention to quality, but what came out for me was a well done burger. Not cool. I notified our waitress, and the kitchen rushed a new order to me in less than 5 minutes??? This second attempt (Third, if you count the first burger fail) was no better. The patty was HALF the size of the previous one, and it tasted medium well to me. The bacon was not crisp, but more like cured ham - salty and chewy. And with the size of the patty, the bread dominated the whole taste. I asked the waitress what was up with overcooking the meat, and she proceeded to lecture me loudly enough for others to hear that I don't know what organic beef should look and taste like. Umm... ok. I truly wanted to Sally Field this place. (Like it... Really really like it.) But it was not the experience I had hoped. read more

After much deliberation, mostly due to sour reviews here on Yelp, I decided to get my burger on last night. We arrived to find a lot of people hangin' out front waiting. Curses! The Yelpers were right I thought. However, we tempted the gods and continued in. Asked the hostess if there was a wait, and we were promptly seated outside on the patio after zero waiting. The only caveat, we can't order alcohol on the patio: no big deal. Our server was swamped and he made sure to let us know he would be back around to us. After about five minutes he returned, and we ordered the fried pickle chips, crab cakes, Pimento burger, and the Woodstock. The pickle chips were great, the crab cake was spiced out and delish. Both of our burgers were cooked exactly how we ordered, and we left happy and with our gullets full. tl;dr: new restaurant - good food - had no problems - would recommend read more

I just want to say enjoyed Burger Up before I give my full on critique which could be seen as off putting. Was it the best gourmet burger I've had? No. That title will probably never be taken from the Father's Office. FO doesn't even have ketchup in the restaurant or allow for substitutions on their burger because the recipe and toppings are so dead on in harmony with each other that if you altered one thing it just wouldn't be the same. Don't get me wrong I enjoy my greasy diner burger just as much as the next person and I might go nutz if I don't eat an In-n-Out Double Double in the next few months, but when it comes to gourmet, it better be gourmet. Burger Up sells at a gourmet price but is absolutely overpriced for what you get. However if you've eaten a burger from The Counter that's what you're in for but for a higher price. Burger Up's beef was definitely better than your average, the bun could be better, and the mushroom topping on mine wasn't exactly thrilling. We split a salad that again...just lacked that extra umf to account for cost. I'm not saying it was bad, I'm just saying for what you pay I expected a lot more. I think what you're paying for here is the experience and style. It's definitely geared towards the trendoids of 12South. I personally enjoy the European atmosphere at Burger Up. What I mean to say is you're likely to be sitting very close to your neighbor, if you're not in to that sort of thing you're probably going to be uncomfortable. Otherwise it's supposed to be a Surfer Theme and all the decor is pretty sweet. The hipster staff weren't bad lookin either and service was good. I'd definitely be interested in eating there again, there are other things on the menu besides Burger's that folks have told me are yummy. PS. I work just around the corner from here and my coworkers and I have seen Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman and Jack white frequent this place, so I guess that could be part of the experience too. If for some reason you're there during the lunch rush, you might try sitting at the bar. read more

This is going to be a difficult review because I really wanted this to be a great find, but it wasn't. Judging from the other reviews from the burger lovers... we all tend to agree about the quality of the burgers.. Meh. First off, it took a good 15 minutes for the waitress to see that we had not ordered. It took another 20 minutes for our order to appear in front of us and it took a couple of bites to realize that the meat was not meant for burgers. I think the meat they use should be put into a chili or shepherd's pie because using it as a burger was unappealing. The burger was dried out, over cooked and terribly, terribly expensive. The fries with the aioli made the visit worth it. But $13 for a burger with no taste. That was a BIG disappointment. As I have stated in other reviews of places where the burgers are dried out and over cooked, this one would go into the same list.... If they could just use ground beef with some fat in it, it would be tasty and juicy, but that was not the case here. Again, this is a place that I would not return to - to eat a burger. I would suggest they use the ground meat in a casserole type food so that it can be mixed with other ingredients that would give it juicy goodness. There are other restaurants in Nashville that make juicy, tasty burgers. I was not happy with my meal. I would not recommend for burgers. I would recommend for a gathering of french fry meals. When they start preparing juicy burgers with taste and juiciness, I will be happy to return. read more

I don't know what some people have against Burger Up, but this place is freakin' delicious! So delicious! I want a burger right now, thats how delicious they are. You have to order the truffle fries. Have to have to have to! I don't know why truffles are so delicious, maybe it has to do with how hard they are to find, but I love them. These fries are so crispy and delicious, that I could eat a bucket full of them. My girlfriend and I split the Holiday Salad and the Bison Burger. Nom and Nom! Both were great. I loved the blue cheese on the salad. And the burger was out of this world. It was juicy and cooked to perfection. It was topped with white cheddar, fried onions, jalapenos, and honey dijon aioli. I think my mouth is watering. On top of the delicious food, the service was spot on too! Forget what the haters are saying and listen to me. You have to go to Burger Up! read more

If you know you can cook and know you can produce good food then the number 1 thing on your list has to be consistency right? You'd hope so I've been here 6 or 7 times. Sometimes I'd leave thinking it was excellent. One of the best burgers I've had but if you can't product that at least 80 or 90% of the time, whats the point? I would have preferred a mcdonalds burger made out of god knows what compared to the burger I got on my most recent visit. I hate leaving negative reviews, especially for a local joint but they really need to tighten up the cooks or expediter for some quality control. read more

At 3:00pm Burger Up gets five stars. At 8:30pm (on a Sunday), they get 2. (I don't round up) I'm sad I didn't write a review for my first visit to Burger Up this past summer. The food was amazing, the prices were reasonable, and the service was fantastic. I was weary walking in and seeing all the hipster servers, but they were very friendly and I scolded myself for judging books by their covers. My husband and I split the sliders 3 ways (which I always suggest for first timers), I had an heirloom tomato salad (my God, it was heaven!), and that's all I remember from our first encounter. We swore we would be back for the Krispy Kreme bread pudding. Now this past Sunday, we go back with a couple of friends. The hipsters are acting like hipsters. There's no turkey burgers (do they ever have this anymore? if not, please put the aioli on ANYTHING else, that shiz is delicious!), no sweet potato fries, and apparently no ice. It takes forever to get our food. No one else at the table had any complaints, so I guess I was just lucky. The bison burger was pretty good, but had way too much cheese. The s'more tiramisu was great, until I got to the giant hunk of mascarpone that hadn't been whipped. But thankfully, the Krispy Kreme bread pudding was there to save the day. Even cold, it was still delicous. My recommedation: go to Burger Up, just go for a late lunch. read more

As a self-proclaimed burger obsessive (I used to be grossly overweight), I think I can spot a damn good burger when I find one. And this is most definitely one of the best damn burgers you'll find in Nashville. Caveat! The wait here is usually daunting, and rightfully so. It once took us an hour to get a table, albeit for a group of 10. My Dad and I came here about a month ago though and we somehow slipped in and got a table for two with no wait at all! So it really does depend on the night you go (my advice...go earlier if possible). Pops and I split a baby spinach salad, with crumbled bacon, parsley, balsamic vinaigrette, and a fried local goat cheese croquette. WHOA. This is just the salad and it's blowing me away. The vinaigrette was tangy and sweet and not too powerful, but the amaze-balls element was the croquette. Slightly crispy on the outside but oozy on the inside, this was rich and delightful - clearly it negated the healthy elements of the salad. Combine it with the bacon and you've got one darned good starter. Then we jumped into the burgers. I had the bison burger which was served with a honey dijon aioli and Dad had the woodstock (a burger I'd had the previous time which comes with "benton's bacon, tennessee sweetwater white cheddar, and jack daniels maple ketchup." If that doesn't make your mouth water, I don't know what will. My burger was lean (but still a giant burger) with truffle fries (a tad extra) and I had to drink a summer punch-ish beverage the name of which eludes me at this moment. I think it was made with whiskey or bourbon - also high quality. Service was good - he came by just to check in on us just the right amount, although he did seem stoned. lol. So basically, get here early, order anything, and enjoy your meal. Just try to avoid the hour long waits! (Las Paletas, a gourmet popsicle shop next door, is a refreshing way to kill some of the wait or enjoy dessert!) read more

Delicious food. The restaurant is on the small. Over all the seater was really friendly and happy. She said 25 min wait I gave my number. They send you a txt when your table is ready and you just have to show up with in or so minutes so don't go too far. We got a table it was clean and greeted right away by our waiter he was friendly. He brought us two cups of water a vase full. The beer menu and drinks were great! Nice place to enjoy a drink. The food menu Burgers baby! And really good appetizers. Hope you enjoy the photos.... parking is where you can find on the street it's FREE don't worry. Average cost per item is around $10. It's very filling. It's a little loud in there but can still carry conversation. read more

See all

I am in a constant search of the best burger in town and when my friend told me about Burger Up, I was really excited about it. I decided to go for lunch on a weekday and the place was pretty crowded. They have a small parking lot behind the restaurant but it is very small and you should expect to be looking for parking on the street. I would simply describe Burger Up as being an upscale burger place. Having said that, my expectations were high. If I am paying 10+ for a burger I expect it to be at least above the average. I decided to try the lamb burger knowing that it is very difficult to make a good lamb burger but hey why are you going to an upscale burger place. well, to try something different. I was totally disappointed: it was below the average, nothing special about it. My friend told me that he liked the regular burger though. Our server was just OK, no complains about the service. We paid 50+ for two burgers and two glasses of wine which is pretty expensive for a burger place. I don't mind paying so much for a GOOD burger but given the quality of what I had, I was disappointed. Will I go back to Burger Up? Well, I want to go back to give them a second chance and try the regular beef burger but in the meantime, Five Guys remains my favorite burger place in town. read more
