Kelly&#x27;s Big Burger

It's like being at home and the ambience is perfect. You want Edison lights and contrived BS? Go eat an overpriced smash burger in Nashville. Want a delicious burger grilled over a bed of onions?

The staff is friendly and pleasant but not very quick spent more time waiting for our order be taken than eating 55 dollars for 3 adults and toddler not bad but not great the burger was good but had no flavor better off going to five guys for a messy burger that is only slightly above average at least you'll have A/C and not have to wait. The only thing I can say was absolutely outstanding was the fries don't think I've had better perfect golden crispy exterior while being light and fluffy and not greasy.

And their price is decent. Whenever we have friends and family who visits this is our place to go. However. The past 4 times we've been here. It's gone down hill. We kept giving them another chance because hey maybe they were off their game that time. But honestly, after our last visit ( a week ago). Never again will we return. My husband's burger was cold. There wasn't even any warmth to his burger when he took a bite out of it. All of our sodas were FLAT! no carbonation whatsoever. My daughter ordered a lemonade. She then told me to try it. I took a sip. TERRIBLE!! literally tasted like tap water with lemon juice. Just horrible. And disappointing. I don't know what happened to this place. But they really need to fix it. It's so sad that a place that we liked so much has gone down hill so terribly. Service was subpar and restaurant was clean. But their food is awful!

Monster burgers? Absolutely. Fried everything? You bet. The menu is honestly fantastic. Unfortunately, the execution felt like everyone sampled the product before clocking in. Walked in on a Sunday at lunchtime and the place was emptier than my fridge after a teenage sleepover. Ordered immediately and wandered over to the soda machine. No ice. That's a bold strategy for a restaurant whose entire vibe is "we know you're thirsty." Then the wait began. They said 10 to 15 minutes. They delivered on that promise with the dedication of NASA launching a rover to Mars. Fifteen minutes in an empty restaurant is impressive. Even the DoorDash drivers had that look of, "Bro... I could've grown the potatoes by now." Food finally landed. The burger was actually pretty decent. Fried pickles were solid. The breaded fries wanted to be great, but some were cold and the fryer oil tasted like it had seen every presidential administration this decade. The staff wasn't rude. They also weren't awake enough to be considered enthusiastic. The whole restaurant had the energy of a group project where everyone assumed someone else was doing the work. That's really the story here. Death by a thousand little details. No ice. Slow food. Cold fries. Worn-out fryer oil. Dark dining room. Zero hospitality. Nobody seemed to notice, and that was the biggest disappointment of all. Fat Shack absolutely understands stoner food. What it doesn't understand is that eventually the munchies wear off... and people start noticing the service. I'd probably order it again... through DoorDash... and hope they remember the ice.

However, I soon discovered that the same burger and same toppings was listed at different prices. The only difference was the name of the burger. I asked the cashier about this and he knew. Another thing, if you don't want a bun with your burger they charge $1 extra. Craziness! Always stick to the build your own burger. The menu needs much help the employee who helped knew a lot about the business. However he "smart-talked" to me. I didn't appreciate his attitude. The way the burger was wrapped and presentation was good. They forgot to put lettuce on a few of my burgers though. Also, the burgers had too much gristle that it was stuck in my teeth. Very poor quality meat. Considering this is a burger place, not good. On the bright side, the burgers were a good price. I also ordered chicken wings only to find out they didn't have any left. Overall, I probably wouldn't go back.

After a few locations and I couldn't get the coordination down, I contacted Strawberry Alley and Ale Works. This is where I was linked up with Miranda. She was so informative and made great recommendations about foods that would work best together after I mentioned some of the guests preferences. Of course, chicken tenders HAD to be on there for the kiddos. We were able to discuss table layouts and presentation times of foods. Makayla and Brent were there on the event day and were so friendly and professional. I know there were many drinks ordered and they were on their game and kept all the guests "hydrated". As the day got closer, even up to the last few hours, we were able to shift on the fly and there weren't any objections. Due to the weather, they didn't object when I asked if we could arrive early and have everything done there instead in the 100+ degree heat. My step-DOGer was able to participate, but had to go home because she was too young for the festivities. We were able to add our own flare to this normally scripted reception. The venue, the food, the staff and the atmosphere added great value to our wedding event. If you are ever in Clarksville, TN and need a place to host an event, I recommend Miranda and the staff at Strawberry Alley and Ale Works, you will not be disappointed. Thank you again, we will dine there the next time we are in town. The Newlyweds Todd & Diana Buerger

We ordered a basic breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, grits, coffee, and home fries. The coffee was delicious, and I loved the stainless steel mugs. The grits were not good, the bacon looked and tasted old, and the home fries were huge and just okay. Overall, it was a very basic breakfast and not really a place we would return to.

I just don't see why they need to use such cheap ingredients and execute it so poorly. I am really disappointed in the food.

The pictures kinda speak for themselves. However a few notes from the experience. Fries cold, mush under cooked. No salt ( not a issue prefer to add my own) White beans ( undercooked, hard on some bites, no flavor at all) Hush puppies, cold, soggy texture like they been cooked 60 plus mins before and been sitting. Cole slaw, sub par, sweet alot of mayo not much crunch. Now to the fish... first bite not bad, crispy end promising ... middle two sections water dripping out from under batter into puddle on plate. Not oil or grease but water.... Pulled pork ( hickory smoked they claim) was grey, dry in texture, zero flavor. Chewy, tasted like pot roast that might have been in the fridge for a few days. Found a massive inedible piece that was all fat and gristle and a random over cooked grey pieces of brisket... clearly a slice of brisket that was dryer than cow leather. I didn't see brisket on the menu so really makes me wonder how that got in there. See attached pictures....
