I was looking forward to a tasty burger as this spot came highly recommended by the locals. Their special of the day was an elote cheese burger... and since I'm from Los Angeles CA... I had try it. Boy was I disappointed and still mad about the experience. What I liked... the bar What I didn't like..... -tiny burgers for $12+ dollars -no lettuce and tomato -overcooked & underseasoned "waygu" patties -frozen crinkle cut fries -no flavor elote burger Jack in the box makes better burgers than Jack Brown's... no joke! read more

If you want a burger, you can't go wrong with Jack Brown's! They offer one of the best burgers in the city. But like they have on the wall, don't ask for lettuce, tomato or ranch! I had the classic jack which had grill onions and pickles. So yummy! I also snapped a picture of the Elvis but didn't try it. The service was great and they constantly checked in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a dive bar so you may find anything as you look around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My friends and I went to Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint for lunch and I had the Dr. Gonzo burger with cheese fries. The burger itself definitely lives up to the hype. The fries were good but the cheese a little too salty. Our waiter was super nice and checked on us constantly which is always a plus. Overall, a great choice for burger lovers--especially if you're in the mood for something a little different from your standard cheeseburger. read more

Went on a Sunday night. Sat down immediately by friendly hostess. I think our servers name was Billy. He was quick, attentive. We come here every couple years when in town. Food is consistent! Music is on point and beer/ cider selection is fun! Can't wait to come back! read more

My reward for anything in life is a a good burger! Soooo Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint it is!! The burgers are simple but perfectly done--juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. The specialty burgers are where it really shines!! The creative combinations that somehow just work. The Dr. Gonzo is my fav. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is laid-back and a little edgy but a fun atmosphere that makes it a perfect hangout spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was friendly and quick [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only thing to note: it's more of a "come for great burgers and drinks" kind of place rather than a full-service, sit-down restaurant experience--but that's part of its charm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I'll definitely be back. Come hungry and ready to try something new! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is my first time trying Jack Brown's Beer & Burger and I am truly impressed by the service, food and ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Me and the boyfriend came here after attending a wrestling event downtown and managed to find a parking spot too my surprised on a Saturday night. They had a female employee checking ID's at the door and managing the front entrance. We ended up sitting at the bar and were quickly acknowledged by the employees behind the counter. We ordered a drink which I had the Lemon Shot and he had a Jameson whiskey. I ended up getting a Cowboy burger and he got the Shocker. My burger was tasty and his burger was good, but spicy which they don't called it the Shocker for nothing. Definitely enjoyed the cool vibes from the employees that night. read more

We stopped by Jack Brown's toward the end of the day after hearing rave reviews about their burgers and fries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Be warned: the place gets jam-packed and pretty hot inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is very much that of a dive-bar-style burger joint--funky, loud, and unapologetically casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The décor leans into the eccentric, with odd touches like chandeliers covered in hanging bras, which definitely adds to the quirky, hipster feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Downstairs was completely full, so we headed upstairs for seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the Dr. Gonzo burgers--one without bacon, one with bacon, and another with bacon plus honey, honey sriracha, and grilled onions. We also got an order of fries and a couple of brown ales. We tried a few beer tasters as well, but those didn't really hit for us. The burgers lived up to the hype: juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. The fries were solid too--crispy and well-seasoned. Service, however, was a bit odd. Our burgers came out first, but the fries were forgotten, and we had to remind the staff to bring them out. Once we did, they were delivered quickly, but the overall flow felt a little disorganized. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All in all, Jack Brown's is a fun spot if you're in the mood for a good burger in a loud, funky, dive-bar-meets-hipster setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food delivers, even if the service can be a little hit or miss. I'll add a few photos to give a better sense of the vibe. read more

Food first, thoughts after... Top burger place. The fries are the best. Perfect texture, size, and seasoning. I always get the chiflet. The egg on top makes everything perfect. I've been here twice and have always loved the service. Servers are friendly and down to earth. Longer wait than usual for a burger but worth every second. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cool decor![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Street parking. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Walked in and immediately got called a bi**h by a patron.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Should've been my sign to walk out, but my group of 4 sat down at a table. We ordered 4 waters and 2 PBR cans. They came out quickly. We immediately ordered our food, which we were just wanting a quick fix: two sweet potato fry orders, one loaded fry, and one Dr. gonzo burger. We waited 45 minutes for that. Other tables who ordered four burgers after us got their food first. Our waitress was nowhere to be found and it felt like she was actively avoiding our table. We eventually flagged her down and ordered two more PBRs and asked about the food and it took about 10 more minutes to get our food. One girl was missing a cheese sauce with her fries and was charged for it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathrooms were disgusting and smelled like throw up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The burger itself was alright, but for $12 with no fries added, that is crazy. read more

This place is a cozy, eclectic space that delivers big on personality and flavor. The atmosphere is unlike anywhere else-- full of character. One of the most unique touches? The bra chandeliers. Yep, you read that right. Somehow, they just work and add to the laid-back, funky vibe of the place. I ordered the Dr. Gonzo burger and it was absolutely incredible--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. You can tell they take their burgers seriously here. Service was on point, too. Our waitress was awesome--friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of without being overbearing. Great food, good vibes, and a setting that's definitely not cookie-cutter, I'll be back. read more

Been to this place multiple times. The burger, fries, Oreos- food in general is superior. The cobra Kai is my favorite. However- every person that works there is extremely unkind. I had a bartender throw my card at me for asking for another refill, give me the side eye. Very short answers, another time with another waiter. Ignored my ask for clarification on something. seems like everyone in there to eat is a bother to them. Thank god the food is good. Be prepared to eat good, but get serious attitude. read more

Cold beer. Good burger & fries. Amazing bartenders/ servers. I've come to this location many times before but on my recent visit ( 04/02/25), I learned of the upstairs seating space. I had NO idea!!!! I really like Jack Brown's and the overall bar vibe it offers. It's really laid back. I recommend you try them out for a good time and some good food!! read more

The cheese sauce on the cheese fries was made in-house or at least it tasted like it. It wasn't the usual cheese in the can. The burgers don't have the option of lettuce or tomato, but turns out it didn't need any. You have to wait outside for a server to come sit you, it was during lunch hour and it didn't see well attended. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once in I was seated at the bar. It's a small space so I wouldn't recommend it for large groups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Talk about a fun ambiance and some delicious food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] On a recent work trip, a friend recommended I visit Jack Brown's for dinner one night. I went and was not disappointed. The burger was juicy but not greasy, and had a unique flavor with the Mac and cheese on top. The sweet potato fries were PERFECT! I loved the uniqueness of the joint and how pleasant the staff was. I'll definitely tell others to check it out if they are in town. read more

Always yummy! Love the fry sauce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Jack browns is a Bham staple. It didn't start in Birmingham but you wouldn't know any better. It's a must go to for anyone who loves burgers with a good atmosphere. The burgers are tasty and while they lack in size (you can order a double) they more than makeup for it in flavor. There's a daily burger special everyday and a "freestyle burger" on Saturday. Just make sure when you go you order some tots/fries and ask for the JB sauce. If you aren't hungry, they also have one of the largest bottle selections out of any restaurant with a great selection. read more

Who doesn't love a good burger. This is one of the best burger joints in town. My favorite to order is the Kobra Kai. It's a burger with cream cheese and pepper Jelly, oh my!! It's the perfect blend of sweet and savory. I literally order this and fries every time. Now let's talk fries. Sweet potato or regular, you can't go wrong. They also of alexia k burgers each day of the week. Go ahead, don't be afraid, just try it. read more

Sat for 1 hour and received 0 food. Witnessed the server wash his hands and proceed to dry them on his shirt right in front of us. Bartender continued to lie to us about food being "next up" as they continued to run 4 orders by our face. When confronted on his lie of "5 more minutes" he told us we could leave. We have been loyal customers for years and we will never be back. read more

This place was fun and the food was delicious! We went Sunday for lunch. It's right across from Haddie B's so most traffic goes there, so it wasn't overly crowded. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is a bar reminiscent of coyote ugly with a gothic spin.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Mushroom Burger was juicy, but the grilled cheese with Mac n cheese and Fritos, was a definite winner! read more

Late night burgers, fries and beer just speaks to me. A chiflet, fries and a dark ale sealed my night. Fries were crispy and not overly salted. My burger was juicy and the bread was pillowy soft. Service was quick and to the point. I'd rather have this than a late night drive thru after a night out. read more

We were seated quickly and they have lots of open seating at the bar. Interesting decorations lots of Mardi Gras style and has several televisions to watch sports. There are several unique burger selections. We ordered the shocker and the doctor gonzo burger. Both burgers were very good. The burgers came with a sauce on the side that went well with burgers and fries. If you are in the area stop by this place for food and drinks. read more

Always really good. There sauce is sooooo good. Really great burgers, fries are also good. Never been bad.

I know what you're thinking: "This just looks like a basic burger and fries." I promise you--it's not. These burgers are packed with flavor, and the Jack Brown's sauce is so good I could honestly drink it haha. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place has a cool, dive-bar vibe with great staff and even better service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Extra bonus: There's a parking lot in the back. read more

Excellent service, excellent beer list, and the burger was damn good. Looking forward to coming back soon.

My mom, sister, and I came to Jack Brown's for a girls day. It was their first time there and they loved it! We sat at a table by the window and were seated right away. Our server took good care of us and checked in throughout. Me and my mom both got the Dr. Gonzo which we enjoyed and then my sister got the Classic Jack. We split an order of fries between the three of us which was plenty. Jack Browns is my favorite burger spot in Birmingham read more

Great experience all around. It's very limited seating. If you're two maybe three people you can get at the bar inside. There's not many big large group tables. There's an outdoor back area where it takes larger groups and they're actually is another bar there. Service was good food was good. Everything's burgers, burgers burgers read more

Jack Brown's is a fun hamburger joint in the middle of the Lakeview area of Birmingham. When we visited on a Sunday evening, there was about a 20-minute wait. They have a good collection of craft beer in bottle and cans, and we were able to wait outside with our beers. Jack Brown offers several different styles of gourmet burgers. My husband tried the Showalter, which was the Sunday special. It was like getting a hamburger breakfast. The hamburger was topped with Applewood Smoked Bacon, fried egg, American cheese, and instead of a bun, they used a Krispy Kreme donut. I tried a piece of the donut. It was really good, especially soaked in the meat juice. If you like hot and spicy things, you may prefer what my son ordered. He chose the Cobra Kai burger. It was topped with cream cheese, pickled jalapenos, and jalapeño jelly. All the burgers offered different things. One was topped with potato chips, another with peanut butter and mayo. Jack Brown's is a fun place, but the burgers can be pricey. They do offer sides, but they are extra. read more

My mate and I stopped by to eat here since it was one of the few restaurants open late on a Saturday (and Sunday). We tried: - Shocker: Burger topped with fresh Jalapeños, fresh Habaneros, house-made Shocker sauce, and 2 slices of Pepper Jack cheese.~$11 I asked for no cheese and extra habaneros, and while I'm not sure if they did add more, the amount there, with the jalapenos, were really tasty. I'd absolutely get this again! - Cobra Kai: Burger topped with cream cheese, pickled Jalapeños and Jalapeño jelly. ~$11. - Hamburger: Our Wagyu patty. Served Simple. ~$10. - Fried Oreo: Deep fried Oreo with powdered sugar. So, so sweet! I am glad I only got one because it ws so hard to finish it. Definitely for those with a sweet tooth. - French fries: Well-seasoned and great with malt vinegar and ketchup. Service was friendly and decently past. The ambiance was dive bar-y but not quite. There are two parts to this - the bar area and an upstairs part; the bar area is loud while the upstairs isn't. Plenty of street parking is available around the block. Convenient location for a late night grub with mates, so I recommend it for that. read more

The food was great! Get the Cobra Kai! It's phenomenal. The burgers are on the smaller side, but still good. The sweet potato fries are top tier, and you must get the fried Oreos. Service was great, and the decor is fun with all the bras hanging from the chandeliers. Definitely a must go. read more
