If you have not eaten here, it's a must! My daughter and I needed to kill time since we live out of the area, we seen the outdoor dining (just left UCD Vet so I had my big ol' husky with me), I never take my dog to restaurants or anything like that and the young ladies did not make me feel bad for having my dog and even brought out a water bowl. They checked in on us several times the service was fantastic. Now to the food, my daughter ordered the cheeseburger and I order the grilled chicken sandwich, i think that was the best chicken sandwich I have had in a very long time. In my daughter's words her Cheeseburger was "fire". I stuffed myself beyond full because I could stop eating it. Lol The mayo sauce was delicious and the bun was soft and tasty... fries were fresh and perfectly salted. Definitely recommend stopping in for a bit to eat. read more

18 years after our first visit, we've returned. It says something about a restaurant that they are still here after 18 years. This time I went with their strength and ordered a burger, the lamb burger. It was wonderful, the burger had a bold lamb flavor (why eat lamb if you don't like that gaminess?) and the feta cheese went well with it. My husband ordered the Mushroom and Onion Cheeseburger and he wasn't too impressed. The onions were not sautéed enough and the entire burger had not much flavor. As before, the fries were so-so, they got soggy quickly. You can order your burger a la carte or for $2.40 more get a side of fries or mixed green salad. One orders at the counter and is given a number to bring to a table. We at outside on the patio. There were misters nearby to keep it a bit cooler on a warm day. Our food came out relatively quickly. We had to ask for a knife so that we could cut our burgers in half. We each ate just half and brought the rest home for another meal. read more

I come to davis/Sacramento few times a year and whenever I come I go to burgers and brew . I say they are by far the best burgers around. Their meat is great and everything else goes with it. Brew can not be ignored either. I enjoy their clam chowder but personally don't enjoy bread bowl. All of their burger is great!!! read more

Probably a poor timing on our part, did dinner right as this block was run over with mad rush of students and high schoolers, us five guys found a long line, friendly yet chaotic staff, and very decent menu! Nonstop noise and loud kept us indoors on the open table we were allowed only to order once it opened up. The burgers took ages, forcing us to finally inquire where they were. At least the brews appeared quickly, but that turned out fifty fifty. My red ale, amazing! Complex, full of bitter, warm, curiosity sweet, and depth, easily a winner. The strawberry mango fruited ale, not at all, a one dimensional angry drink without happy fruits or merry berries. Something went terribly wrong in its childhood. I imagine this place is a more rounded and enjoyable summer hotspot without campus ruckus. read more

Very good. Burgers juicy and cooked to perfection. Excellent atmosphere and enjoyable time.

Great burgers and clam chowder. It's very crowded but they do a great job at getting people in and out. You order at the register and they bring your food out. If you're in Davis check this place out. read more

Everything was solid from the burgers to the drinks. My friend said her Arnold Palmer was one of the best she's had, good tea flavor and balanced. The passion fruit pineapple cider was a unique option and went well with my meal. The sweet potato fries were cooked perfectly and the onion rings were also fresh. Service was good too, even after ordering at the counter as they checked if we needed anything and cleared plates from our table. I'm glad we were able to try this local spot for lunch! read more

I have been going to Burgers and Brew for years. It's always one of my favorite spots, no matter if it's Davis, West Sac or Midtown Sac. I wish we had one in Elk Grove. I used to love getting the bacon and blue cheese burger, but I discovered the steak sandwich at the Midtown location and have never gone back. It's so good. Cooked perfectly to medium. It's tender. And easy to bite through and chew. Nicely done. On this special occasion, they had Pliny the Younger on tap in late February. Following them on social media is key to finding out when their locations will have the beer on tap. And it was worth it. Service was fast. And love to sit outside and catch the breeze in February. read more

Probably one of the worst burgers I had... Had the basic cheeseburger. My mom had the chili burger... Not good at all. Stick with the brew!

What a delicious lunch!!!! Perfect for a sunny day. I got the Philly cheesesteak with a chicken Caesar salad on the side while my best friend got a cheeseburger with chili fries she got a chicken salad as well! Both were delicious her burger was juicy and my sandwich was cheesy with juicy the right amount of onions! We also got chocolate shakes! The service was quick and easy! Waiter was super nice and impressively carried all the damn food and drinks we ordered like at the same time! As young as he was you would have thought he'd been there for a while! The vibe there was VERY college kid based. Maybe because it's next to UC Davis or I'm not sure but the crowd was super young lol definitely a spot for college kids but I would absolutely return it was delicious!!! And make sure to sit outside the sun is nice but even better if you can find a spot in the shade! read more

First time coming to Burgers and Brew. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was fast - our food came out quickly. We ordered the Pastrami Burger with sweet potato fries and the grilled chicken (substituted the cheese with cheddar and added bacon) with a salad. The salad had so much flavor, and the grilled chicken was delicious. Unfortunately, the Pastrami Burger was lacking in flavor - I had to add salt to balance it out. Overall, I'd rate my experience 4/5. Definitely coming back to try other items on the menu. HIGHLIGHTS It was 93 degrees outside, but they have misters to help you stay cool. I absolutely love the outdoor seating - plenty of shade. You order the food yourself at the counter, and then they give you a number and bring the food right to your table. Plenty of beers to choose from, including seltzers. read more

Brunch time! (Btw this rating is based off of Davis food) - Steak Sandwich: Very very thin piece of steak. Not terrible but could be a little better with the texture and overall more flavor was needed. 4/5 stars - Fish & Chips: This wasn't the fish and chips I was expecting :(. The fries were a good texture but the fish was a big bummer. 3/5 stars They had lots of brews (which I'm sure would've been so good) Staff were super sweet. It's self seating after you order & pay. Food did come out fairly quick. read more

Always a go-to stop when in Davis! It has always been a favorite among all of my friends, including myself. Whenever we go back to visit Davis, we always include Burgers and Brew. I love their outdoor seating either on the patio or the sidewalk. Usually there is always a nice breeze when the weather is warmer. Even if they have a longer line, it usually goes pretty fast and it's pretty easy to place your order with the cashier before being seated. Food usually doesn't take too long to come out once seated. While I love many different burgers here (honestly I don't think you could go wrong with anything you order), my personal favorite has been the smoked aged cheddar burger. Of course during my last trip I did order it without cheese (which I understand kind of misses the point), BUT it was still as delicious as i remembered. Plenty of flavor with their homemade smoked aioli and the caramelized onions. My husband had the avocado cheeseburger and loved it! I thought the avocado was very fresh, the patty was delicious, and I know the pepper jack cheese tied it all together. Don't pass on their garlic fries because I promise they are worth the upgrade! read more

Great burgers and drinks! Tho they don't have bottomless drinks. And the lamb burger can get dry... so why did I give it four stars? Because if nice downtown vibe, good food selection, and friendly staff service. It's not bad. I do recall have metal utensils before. But it's no biggie to me regarding plastic utensils since a few other burger places out chicken places have plastic utensil. Above average B+ read more

It's been a few years since I've been back but the burgers are still delicious. With indoor and outdoor dining right next to the farmers market area, you can enjoy your meal with a view. The patty melt was freaking delicious and garlic fries with ranch dip had the right crisped consistency and garlicky goodness. read more

Fun, local beer choices and decent pub food. Today we ordered the kids meal hot dog and dear lord it was HUGE! LOL It will definitely fill up your kid! She said it was tasty, too. I wasn't super hungry so I abandoned my usual go-to feta burger and rolled with some Irish nachos. They were tasty, though pretty overcooked and dry. Enjoyed the pickled jalapenos, though. One of the staff wandering to check in on tables was kind enough to give me a side of sour cream, too. She was lovely. The building is pretty run down and old. Reminds me of an old home where you just keep building random extensions to increase space without ever updating or remodeling the rest of it. I worry a little about the floors collapsing, but maybe that adds to the small town charm. Lol All on all, there is lots of space, service was reasonably paced, food is okay, and the beer selection is rotates and is local. Nice little staple in town. read more

You can add blue cheese (or any different cheese) to any burger. You can choose fries, sweet potato fries or salad. Ask for a sample of your beverage if you have difficulty deciding it want to try something new. Try to get there a bit before the lunch rush to secure a good table. The CHORIZO burger was AMAZING!!!! The staff is super friendly and patient. read more

Still obsessed with Burgers and Brew! Whenever I'm craving a burger, this place comes to mind and I seriously make the drive out to get my beloved bacon cheese burger with garlic curly fries. I am always STUFFED after eating this! The smoked cheese, bacon and smoked aioli really makes these burgers something special. Not to mention, the garlic curly fries are a dream. The garlic is smashed into a cream-like consistency which feels more balanced than a chunky garlic chopped up. This place never misses. read more

Updated review for 2024! I'm a fan of all Burgers & Brew locations (West Sac, Midtown, Davis). This Davis spot has been there at 3rd & C Streets since 2007 when I was still in undergrad! We came in after an event at Yoloberry Yogurt ended around 7 PM, which was great since B&B was open until 10 PM, a party of 3. Order at the counter/register, take a number and sit wherever. They kept all of our orders on one table but were able to split the check. They do have daily specials advertised at the register in case the regular menu doesn't interest you. Water is self-serve, straws too. Ketchup is provided at the tables, and napkins and utensils come with your food. I believe their burger buns come from Village Bakery in Davis. I'm a fan of their Smoked Aged Cheddar, Lamb Burger, and curly fries. They don't carry the Fuji Salad anymore at this location but that was also a fave of mine. When I'm not feeling like a burger, I tend toward the Turkey Avocado Melt (on sourdough) with curly fries. At the midtown location, I also tried their Buffalo Fries and those were hefty too. You can get garlic curly fries if you can't decide between garlic fries and curly fries! When I'm in the mood for a root beer float, theirs also hits the spot. I'm also partial to Sacrament Brewing's summer mango beer, but they also carry Pliny, Sculpin, Lagunitas, etc. Two single bathrooms and the porch wraps around and is open-air for summer and tented/fireplace for fall/winter if you can't find an indoor table. Parking is best along C Street where the Farmers Market is. read more

The burger place in Davis! Most of the time that I come through Davis I stop by Burgers and Brew to get that fix. This evening I ordered the Buffalo Burger w/cheddar, everything on it. And some garlic fries with that also. (My fault for not ordering medium well for the burger), overall a Flavorful burger! Ordered some hoegarden beer for that tipoff! Food was good, service was great! I'll be back to try something new! read more

Tasty and huge burgers!! Lots of choices of burgers and additions. Side orders (fries, salad, soups) are changeable with reasonable price, which I really appreciate it. Good choice of tap beer and drinks. They have framboise on tap!! Wow! Really pleasant and fast service. There are tons of tables to enjoy the nice weather and watch the street. I really enjoyed eating here. read more

I was really disappointed with my visit here. The beers came out warm, which was not a good start. The onion rings were served cold, and all the burgers at our table were not cooked to the temperatures we specifically requested. For the price, I expected much better quality and attention to detail. Unfortunately, the experience left us feeling like the basics and the brews weren't being taken care of. We will return maybe for the fries which were served hot and tasty! Unfortunately, we're packing our orders to go to reheat and eat later... read more

Stopped by this spot on a whim, not expecting much--and walked away genuinely impressed. Let's start with the burger. The double cheeseburger tasted like childhood in the best way possible. It wasn't trying too hard to be overly "new American" or gourmet; it was just a solid, nostalgic, all-American burger done right. Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying. I also tried the salad with grilled chicken, and honestly, it was better than I expected. The greens were fresh and crisp, dressed just enough to add flavor without overpowering. The chicken had a beautiful char from the grill--smoky, tender, and not too dry. A really nice balance for something that's often an afterthought at burger joints. The atmosphere is what you'd expect from a busy college-town burger spot--fast-paced, a little chaotic, but with a rhythm that somehow works. The staff moved like they had their own system, and even though things were moving fast, it didn't feel sloppy or rushed. Everyone seemed to know their role and handled it well. Service was quick, food came out hot, and everything tasted fresh. No frills, no gimmicks--just good food made by people who clearly care about getting it right. This isn't fine dining, but it absolutely nails what a burger joint should be. I'll definitely be back. read more

This is the original location and the best one! Their burgers are spot on the best I've ever had. Always going for the spicy bacon cheese burger. I like telling them to cut it in 1/2 for me, so it's less messy. Garlic curly fries are AMAZING, they don't skimp on their garlic. Also, you can ask for extra pickles as well. Don't feel like a burger? Then their chili cheese hot dog is MESSY, but soooo good! Clam chowder is a winner too, but too hot for it in the summer. Love their holy water tap too! Great beer selection. read more

I was in Davis the other day and this place happened to be nearby so here I am. I ordered the steak sandwich which came with onion rings. I also got a hazy ipa. The steak sandwich was decent, not a big fan of feta cheese though. It was a little overpowering. I thought it was a weird combo. Anyways... The onion rings were okay. The hazy ipa was kinda smooth. Service was alright. Nothing notable. There are both indoor and outdoor seats. Street parking is available. Try it out if you like. :) read more

Place was busy but we got our food very quick. Large burgers, good portions, cooked perfectly the way I asked. Medium rare. Ordered jalapeño bacon burgers and added spicy guacamole. Fresh ingredients and good flavor. Sweet potato fries were excellent. Hot and crispy. The Diablo fries were decent. All outdoor seating on a porch. Workers were very friendly. Little pricey. Ended up being $60 for two burgers and fries, no drinks. read more

I'm a hamburger lover- especially traditional diner burgers or nostalgic burgers off the grill during pool days. Burgers and Brew gives me that nostalgic burger feeling. We ordered at the cashier and found a patio table for the 2 of us and our dog. The patty was nicely pink, lightly charred, but the bun was the "something special". It almost has a ciabatta-like texture. Airy, chewy- with this crispy crust. I would come back because there's something unique with that bun, and I would definitely get the garlic curly fries again. Overall- I'd give this 3 stars: would be 4 if the prices were more reasonable...you'll walk out of here with a minimum $20 meal for basic pub/grill style food. read more

This place is very pricey. Like many other college students I do NOT have a lot of money, so this is a place where I go after I failed an exam to eat my sorrows away. You get what you paid for definitely of a massive burger, and fair amount of fries, but I would not come here often if you'd like to save. My total was 17$ with no bev, the water cup strategy remains victorious. Once I make it out though I'd definitely come here to feel rich and big. read more

I could keep raving about this lamb burger! It was amazing! The lamb was cooked perfectly and was paired so well with the other ingredients: feta, olive oil, garlic, and a yogurt sauce. Just reading the description on the menu already made me excited to try it; and it definitely tasted as incredible as advertised! In comparison to the lamb burger, I did think the fries were just lackluster. This location is in Downtown Davis, and is so busy on a weekend night! Prepare to wait a while in line for your food, but it will be worth it. Staff were friendly and very organized while serving/handling our large group. read more

The parties here are nice and thick. Very flavorful and lots of selection. Great for burger lovers. However, they are huge so it's hard to finish one.

Come for the burgers, but don't get too excited about the brew! I ate here twice when I was in Davis last week, as there was a work dinner scheduled for B&B that got rescheduled, and I was the only one who showed up early on Day 1 and didn't get the last-minute cancellation email! Good news - I got to try their amazing burgers twice! The first time, I ordered a lamb burger, and the second day, a chorizo burger. Both were huge, juicy and delicious, and great value (around $14). The beers, on the other hand, were not up to par. My Guinness on Day 1 was flat, and the framboise I opted for on Day 2 was served at room temp! Yuck! NOT ok as they charge ~$10 for drinks. Other observations: - Parking is on the street. - Wednesday evenings get busy because of the local farmers market. - Service was transactional. - Bathrooms were adequate. - Lines were long on Wednesday, not bad on Thursday. - Other patrons: rude. Folks cut in front of me three times! Verdict: 2.5 stars rounded up to 3. Will certainly return for a burger next time I'm in town - they have plenty of others I want to try! read more
