Excellent food and service...i was impressed with the portion size and taste and tons of fries. We ordered the fried fish, fried shrimp and banana pudding to go! The waitress was so sweet read more

Amazingly awesome food!! The burger is huge and delicious. I love their wings and fried shrimp.

This is part 2 of my The Burgers review. Ironically, the very day before I tried the Lenoir City location not knowing my friends were going to take me here. Since I had the burger the day before I tried another option. So I ordered the Southern Clucker, a fried chicken sandwich with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, and jalapeños. I wasn't as impressed with the chicken as I was with the other location's burger. The chicken was fairly tough and chewy and the piece was smaller than the bun it was sitting in, so it was literally tough to eat. The bun and vegetables were fresh though. I loved the onion rings. Best seasoning I've had on fries or onion rings in a long time, and the waitress brought some ranch which helped even more! Because the locations seem consistent, I'll also give the Powell location 4 stars. Great sides, good buns, but not without their faults. Looking forward to trying the fried fish in future. read more

Overall good experience. The environment was very chill. Our waiter was PHENOMENAL. The service side was the best I've experienced in a while. Only 4 stars because while the fried pickles were great, the burger was not quite what I had hoped for. If you intend to try here, I recommend sitting outside because the patio is nice! read more

Nice outdoor seating area with live music. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. Friendly server, good service. I had the Knox burger. Basic mushroom and Swiss burger. The onions were caramelized perfectly and i think the mushrooms were sautéed in wine, not sure but really good. There were more fries than anyone would ever eat. You will really enjoy this place read more

Had ribs special with fried mushrooms & green beans. My husband had the fish & chips. The portions are huge! The side of mushrooms actually covered the plate under the ribs! They were crunchy and served with perfect complimentary sauce. Green beans were solid! The fish was crunchy and flaky, fries were outstanding! He said slaw was worth coming back for! We had a great server, the food is fabulous! Everyone seemed to leave with a takeout box, a testament to the portion sizes! read more

Really good food and great service here. Take away or eat in-either option is great. Small place with small parking lot but they have an overflow lot. Nice folks with great food. When they have a ribs special, get it! I don't EVER order ribs but these fall off the bone and should not be missed! The entire meal was absolutely wonderful! read more

I ordered only a patty for dietary restrictions, they charge me $15 for a whole burger plus extra for bacon and cheese. When I told the server I ordered only a Patty, she said "that's how we do it" Pretty uncool! read more

Great burgers, good chicken, ideal portion sizes, service is prompt and friendly. Nice and casual with a patio, will return again!

I had an incredibly disappointing experience at The Burgers. I ordered the CP Burger, which is supposed to come with chili and jalapeños, but when it arrived, it was missing the jalapeños entirely and had maybe a tablespoon of chili--definitely not what was advertised. I politely called the first time as it was a Togo order. They informed me to take a picture and they would comp my next burger. Since I live 20 minutes away I said okay. Once I did this they asked me to take another picture of the bottom as that's where the chili was. They eventually said that picture was not good enough. He told me it had everything on it as it should and essentially called me a liar. He was adamant that I was mistaken and the burger was correct, despite my clear observation otherwise. I've been to plenty of burger joints, but I've never had an experience like this, where not only was my order wrong, but I was also made to feel like I didn't know what I was talking about. I get that mistakes happen, but customer service and accountability were non-existent here. Won't be returning. There are too many great burger places in town that actually care about their customers. read more

The food sucked that about sums it up We ordered Freedom burger and fish and chips . The fry's was limp and tasted like they was cooked in motor oil .They had a dark color and greasy. The burger had a bad flavor. The fish was also dark limp and tasted awful. The slaw was pretty good but not as good as KFC.But decent slaw is not worth $37.00 This was my second trip here ,my first and the last read more

I've ordered burgers here and was not disappointed. The restaurant was rustic feeling and the service was great. I ordered out the second time and staff remembered me and when pack my food, they did a neat job, marked each container for the additional people I ordered for. Only negative thing is the parking. read more

We had a chance to get a burger in between games in Halls. Glad we did! My son loved the chili cheese fries and said that this is his new place! The food overall was good. I was really impressed with the produce. The lettuce was crisp, the tomato was ripe, and the onion was firm. Very fresh! Our server (maybe Tabitha) was awesome! She was extremely attentive and kind to my 10 year old. The patio outside provided a great area to enjoy a juicy burger, beer, and a good dad/son lunch! read more

My husband and I stopped for lunch. It's Saturday around 1:00pm and the restaurant was packed but we only waited 2 - 3 minutes for a table. The food came out quickly and it was hot! I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and my husband ordered the chicken Philly. They were both stuffed full of meat and vegetables. The French fries were crispy and salted perfectly. The onion rings were golden brown and delicious! We love The Burgers and have been here before but this is our first time ordering the Phillys. From previous visits, I can tell you their burgers and fish & chips are also great choices. read more

Really great food and friendly staff. We recently ordered take out from The Burgers, and it was great. The food was fresh, the portions were huge, and the individual working clearly labeled each box so that we didn't have to guess what each box contained once the food was home. read more

I came in because I heard a co-worker raving about how good their fried mushrooms, onion rings and pickles tasted. I am a huge fried mushroom fan, so I made a trip out the same day. The staff was super nice and I was greeted by several of them. They had a great margarita drink special, so I ordered a strawberry margarita for $2.99 & the mushrooms. The drink was pretty strong to me, but I'm a light weight a prefer sweet drinks that don't taste like alcohol. It was still good for $2.99. Now the mushrooms were fantastic! The best I have ever had and if they are on a menu, I order them, so I have had a lot. The batter was very flavorful and the ranch was delicious. I heard they are both made fresh, in house. Can't wait to go back and try some other stuff! Yummy! read more

We were worried about coming at 630pm on a Saturday night but it was a great experience. There was no wait and our server was on the ball with food and refills. The staff worked well together and they seemed to all be providing great service to the guests. I got the Big Tex burger and it was fairly priced at 13. It was cooked to a perfect medium. Only thing I wished I'd have added was jalapeños. They give you so many fries you're drowning in them. My husband got the CP burger and they weren't lying then they said it's messy. He really enjoyed it too though. We we a little surprised with the name of the restaurant they only had a half dozen burgers but it was good food and good service for a fair price. read more

So, after a long absence, Grubmate and I returned to this eatery at the corner of Emory & Dry Gap. We've taken to eating out one evening a week, as much to relieve boredom as to renew the socializing skills. We've taken the names of our pre-pandemic favs and placed them in a hat, from which we draw our evening dining destination. As mentioned, The Burgers 'won' tonight's destination contest. We were quickly seated and after a brief perusal of the menu, Grubmate opted for a chicken sam'ich w/onion rings, while I selected the fish & chips, a favorite. The wait was a tad long considering the mostly empty dining area, but when our food arrived it was super hot! My fish strips were a nice golden brown, and quite evenly cooked. The chicken sandwich looked sketchy from the get-go. Although by appearance the fish strips were perfect, in reality, they were a bit under-done. A bit disconcerting to say the least. Still, as they were steaming hot, I opted to solider-through, thinking to gobble my fries along with the chewy (but tasty fish). Ahhh, the fries..... I understand cooking oils have dramatically increased in price, however cooking in oils that are 'past prime' is a false economy. Each fry carried a distinct 'old grease' flavour that literally left a bad taste on my palate. I tried several, with the same unsavory result. Grubmate's onion rings suffered the same fate, alas. The chicken breast sam'ich appeared to have been sliced into a thin offering, again a false economy. I can't recall ever encountering as poor an excuse for a chicken breast sandwich. Our waitress, Beka, was very attentive with refills, checking back often. Though the service was above average (as usual), the meal standards have fallen so dramatically I can't recommend a revisit at this, a formerly local favorite for us. As my meal price-pegged at $28 (including 5$ tip) the taste/value ratio fails into the 'toss from hat' range. It was a disappointing outing, however I consoled myself upon returning home with a sausage/cheese quesadilla from our home kitchen! read more

Over two years ago I had a nice burger in Lenoir City, TN. I did not recall the name of the place and was only there for a short time so hadn't gone back. Recently, while looking for a good burger in the Oak Ridge/Knoxville area (a challenge for me), I came across 'The Burgers' with two locations: one in Powell, TN and one in Lenoir City! I realized this the same place, I'd been. So I headed for the Powell location which is notably closer to me. I arrived in the evening to find the place busy though not overly crowded. Someone immediately got me seated and menu'd. The place has the feel of a roadside cafe with rustic decor , a mix of sturdy tables and pub style high top tables. I was pleased with the assortment of foods beyond just burgers, but a burger was why I was there. I ordered a CP Burger (chili, pepper jack, and jalapenos), fries, and a Coke Zero. I was not disappointed by the burger, it was flavorful, and nicely spicy something I've had trouble finding. The fries appeared to be hand cut and were not the over-thin and over cooked fries at too many local restaurants. And offering a zero sugar option besides Diet Coke is a necessity to encourage a second visit from me usually. If I had a complaint it would be the same that I have at every restaurant I tried in Tennessee, not whole grain bread options. The day I find a restaurant with a good burger on good whole wheat bread (bun or otherwise) is the day they get a life-long customer. All that aside, I very much enjoyed 'The Burgers' and will definitely return for more burgers and maybe their fish and chips. read more

Solid 4/5 for a local place nearby where we live. This location has been different things over time but this establishment has stuck and I can see why. - You get sizable portions, no matter what you order. Fries galore. - Servers are generally friendly and helpful to make sure your order is as you like. - We have also received from this establishment via pickup and delivery service. Portions and quality are no different, minus the fact the meal is starting from a container and not a plate. - This update of the facility includes more parking, which was always an issue under previous ownerships. Do watch coming in and out of the lot in the front, traffic flies through there! Faves include the grilled chicken sandwich, fried mushrooms and the fish and chips meals. Burgers are good too, if you can handle it! Give it a shot, support your local joints. read more

My wife and I visiting this place for the first time. It did not disappoint. It was around 2:00pm on a Saturday afternoon. The place was packed (not a big parking lot which is the only negative to report) We sat immediately at the bar. Just a heads up, there are only 5 seats at the bar. It's small. Our server was Skye and she was awesome at her job. We chatted a bit and come to find out there were only 2 servers and 2 back up employees (which were both fairly new) The servers did a better job then I have seen 5 servers do in a much bigger restaurant. I saw three employees cooking in the kitchen area. The volume these 7 employees were able to handle in the 45 minutes we were there, stacks up to one of the best experiences we have had since our move to Knoxville. The $3 special priced margarita did not disappoint and my Yee Haw Brewing Dunkel for $6. Keep up the great job Skye and crew. We will be back! read more

My burger was a perfect medium rare, the fries were more than enough and the staff was very attentive.

Great food. Fast, friendly service. Prices are very reasonable. Whatever you get, I recommend the onion rings as a side.

Found a new favorite burger place off Emory Road. I ordered the freedom, burger and onion rings. Everything was delicious; the servers are to be commended I've seen military operations that didn't run as smooth ;all young ladies all with a smile ;never had to ask for anything like I said, I had the freedom, burger and onion rings my wife had the freedom, burger, and fries so we could try each ;very very good as I said the servers, not much of a wait ; small place that's the only downside needs to be a little bit bigger but it was very crowded. Very popular places usually are going to go back and try out the fish and maybe some of the banana pudding. I definitely would give this place five stars. read more

What has happened to the food at The Burgers? I previously didn't mind paying a good bit for the fish dinner but never again! My recent order of this meal consisted of three pieces of fish and a ton of greasy fries that tasted and looked like they had been cooked several days previously and warmed up at least twice..in a microwave! Absolutely terrible and certainly not worth the price. read more
