Loved it! No frills hamburger joint. Delicious burgers and friendly staff. Go there!!

Went in on a Sunday after church-12:30pm. It was packed. We waited in the line to get our order in at the counter. The line went pretty fast considering how long the line was. Every single worker was super friendly and even got to talk to the cook-Ricardo. He was so nice and kind. It is a very small restaurant & crowded, but oddly enough they are able to fit many tables. We found a table pretty fast and got our food within 10 minutes. Not much of a wait time. I would say this is a basic burger place. BUT the burger blew my socks off. I ordered the Slaw burger and seasoned fries. The slaw was different than any I have had before and the burger was cooked perfectly. The fries were so so good. They also give you a mayo based sauce which is very good to dip anything in. In addition to that, they also have many hot sauces to choose from. I opted for the Tabasco sriracha and Crystal hot sauce. They even serve beer; we didn't order any though. We had a coupon: buy one get one free, but I think the prices are great even without a coupon. I really look forward to trying a hot dog from there on my next visit. read more

I have literally never written a review of anything online before but this was by far the best burger I've ever had in my life and I immediately felt compelled to share this. Hands down the best burger in the state of Alabama and such a hidden gem. Great quality and quantity. Seasoned fries a woman's dream. Unless you live close you probably shouldn't come here because you'll think about it every week and would be let down if you can't come regularly. Only issue is the sprite drink fountain only ever comes out as club soda but we let it go because of how good the food is. read more

I always get the best customer service! And it doesn't matter if I'm looking for something more healthy, like a turkey burger or something more southern, like a hot dog, they have it! And the tots are my favorite! Great job!! read more

I drive for Grubhub now, which gives me opportunities to discover new places to eat. My latest delivery brought me me to The Craft Burger. I saw the food they were putting out and it made me want to try it. This double patty burger was juicy and cheesy. The bun was soft. The caramelized red onion and pickle on the bottom gave it acid and zing. This is an honest burger. I'll be back to try more of their menu including The Swiss Burger and the Steak Sandwich. read more

Burgers are good. Expensive for what you get though. The service isn't great and the location doesn't seem as clean as it did when it first opened. read more

Not a bad spot at all. Simple menu, plenty of seating, and friendly staff. I had a burger and some tater tots, kept it simple. The prices aren't too bad at all and the burger was really good. Nothing too fancy, they're not trying to do some crazy artistic burger thing here. Just good, juicy, well portioned burgers and tots that were fried to perfection. The people doing the cooking here obviously care about the quality of their work. I think they've got beer in case you need one, and fountain drinks for those of you who like to grab a refill before you leave. Overall just a good, solid local burger place that's definitely worth a shot if you're nearby and looking for a quick, simple meal at a good price. read more

Great game-firmed patties - great burgers - wish they had a teeny bit less American cheese and will order mine that way next time. All in all, this place gives Twisted Root a run for their money. I actually like their steamed buns and the flavor of the burgers a lot. They also have great fries! Yum!! read more

Probably one of the best burgers around. Simple and made to order. Fries, onion rings, tater tots. All good. Craft burger is very good, double patty with craft sauce is consistently good. read more

Great hamburgers but the fries are why I keep going back. Really good deal on the kids meals. Also if you have children.

I am now in the process of eating my Craft Burger. It might be more accurate to call it a slider. The menu advertises two patties. The quantity of meat of the two patties combined might equal one patty from most other burger places. The cheese may be Kraft Singles American Process (fake) cheese. That is what it looks and tastes like. Their special sauce is tasteless. It looks like a mixture of mayo and catsup. The bun is everything you might expect from Burger King. You get all this, with no side, for a mere $7.39. I will have to be on the brink of starvation and unable to travel anywhere else before i will even consider ordering from Craft Burger in the future. read more

Delicious! My mom lives nearby and regularly talks about picking up dinner from Craft Burger. While in town visiting we decided to go and she is right. We were greeted by the owner and quickly had our order taken at the counter and found a table. Mom had the slaw burger (which is her current favorite) with tots and I had the turkey burger with seasoned fried. The burger was delicious. Great bun and I love a smashed burger that is still juicy. When they said seasoned fries I automatically assumed the typical seasoned salt but I was wrong. Salt, herbs, parm - they're delicious. Will definitely go again! read more

First time visit. I had the mushroom Swiss hamburger & B had an American classic. We both enjoyed them. Grilled perfectly & made fresh. The fries were crispy & lightly seasoned with Parmesan & rosemary. We will revisit read more

This place slaps. 10/10. best burger in bham in 2019 for a reason. Friendly staff. Will continue to support this place

The Burger, The Fries, The Taste, The Smells...this place is truly firing off on all cylinders as far as excellence. Fire

Good food. Fast service even when busy. The seating isn't super comfortable but it stays very clean.

Great food and staff! Wish the tables and floors were a little more clean, but there was only 2 guys working read more

Great burger joint in the southeast Birmingham metro area. With a simple yet diverse menu of burgers, tots, salads, hot dogs, and more, there are enough great choices here to satisfy everyone in the family or group. We enjoyed the buffalo salad and cheeseburger with fries. Not sure what's in that seasoning blend, but those fries were extraordinary. Friendly staff and quick service. Great for lunch. read more

Usually, with family-owned restaurants, the adults teach the younger ones how to treat customers, and how to be friendly and service oriented. That's not the case here. For our 3rd (and last) trip here, we were treated the same as our prior two visits by the young man at the register; with indifference, a scowl, and a general disinterest in being there. I ordered drinks, never got my cups to fill. I asked if I needed a receipt with a number on it, got a shoulder shrug in response. When I went back up to get my cups, he could not be bothered to postpone his phone call long enough to get our cups, so I had to ask the lady working behind him for my cups, and he overheard and responded by tossing a single cup on the counter, upside down. She also gave me the two cups for the drinks I ordered, so I left my thrown cup on the counter where it stayed for the rest of our time there. There was nothing wrong with the food, it was okay, but not worth what we paid. And as far as service goes, I've discovered that in this part of town, it doesn't matter how good the food is. If the service sucks, people will stop eating there. I'm guessing that the owner's son is the kid behind the counter, and the other employees are scared to say boo to him. Or he's just a surly teenager, and the rest of the fam is hoping he'll grow out of it one day. Either way, it doesn't matter to us, since we won't be back. There's a a Subway to the left, and a Waffle House to the right, both with higher health inspection scores, and I'd rather eat there going forward. Also, a burger place that runs out of fries and tots is seriously in need of a supply run. Here's an idea, 50 feet away is a Publix; I'll bet they have fries and tots there, next time you run out, go buy some more. Update: I've noticed that the owner has stopped responding to his reviews, and although the surly and rude service has been mentioned many times, he has chosen to ignore it every time and instead concentrate on letting the reviewer know that they know nothing. Obviously this is not a big concern to him. News flash: poor service is the reason that fast food establishments are shutting down every day, but Chick Fil-A is thriving. read more

I was craving a burger and figured a place with "burger" in their name ought to know how to make one, so my friend and I met up at The Craft Burger at 5pm on Friday night. When we got there we were the only customers. "Hmm," I thought. "This can't be a good sign..." Nevertheless, we each ordered the cheeseburger and a drink, and I got some fries to go with mine. I nearly ordered the Cuban sammich when I saw it on the menu, but my yen for a burger brought me there, and dang it, I was going to get a burger. We filled our cups at the self-serve soda fountain and had our pick of tables. Only a couple of minutes later someone brought our food to the table. Either the burgers were hand formed, or the machine that cut them out has a funky shape. They weren't the uniform circles you find at the golden arches. They almost had a jigsaw puzzle shape to them, with the lumpy, bumpy bits sticking out of the bun, perfect for taking a sample bite. I went to the right place to satisfy a burger craving. It comes with "craft sauce" whatever that is. I don't know that it's made with, but it's tasty. I wish I could say the same for the fries, but the fact is, they were barely room temp. I like my fries hot. These things lackluster spuds were two degrees away from being cold. I nibbled on a handful of them, but left the rest on the tray. My friend and I chatted while we ate our tasty burger and ignored the lousy fries. When I looked around at the drink machine, considering a refill I was shocked to see that what had been empty when we ordered our food was now Standing Room Only. People were waiting for folks to leave so they could sit down. So much for my first impression of the empty place not being a good sign--it turns out I was lucky I got there when I did. With so many people waiting for a table my friend and I felt guilty continuing to chat now that our food was gone. We gave up our treasured real estate and before we'd finished clearing the table another group of people had swooped down to take our places. I assume with business hopping the way it was that those folks had some hot fries to eat. Based on my burger, the next time I'm in the area I'll give The Craft Burger another chance with the fries; they certainly what they're doing with their namesake. read more

Really good cheeseburger. It's not huge like some other burger places but has a great taste with the craft sauce. We split a side of seasoned fries and they were really good too. They have a limited menu but I'll try the steak sandwich next time. I liked that you could see the burgers being grilled behind the counter. I'll be back for sure. read more

When a smash burger and Shake Shack have a baby. THE SEASONED FRIES, the tater tots, sweet potato fries, the hot dog, the sliced beef sandwich, does not matter which one you get you will be in love.

One of my favorite go-to places. Craft burger, no onion, add bacon, add egg, that's my order. Tots and sweet potato fries excellent. Good local place. read more

Good food. I recommend the Cuban if u aren't having the burger, which is always good. Dine in or take out.

Great burgers. Don't pass this place by. Come to a screeching halt, go inside, sit down, and eat!

As advertised...burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, tater tots and fries. Limited menu but fast services. Order at the counter and serve yourself drinks. Hot dogs are very good and tater tots come out piping hot. Food is made to order and seating is limited. On our visit, tables needed to be cleaned and the trash cans were at capacity but we arrived a little after supper time on a Friday evening. I would return for the tater tots and the special sauce. read more

Basic burger place in a strip mall. I just came here because it was close to my moms work when I went to visit her. I got an very overpriced salad. I think it was around $8.50 & was literally maybe 1.5 cup of ice burg lettuce, 3 tomatoes and a cucumber slice. It also comes with cheese but I ordered it without. The first time they brought it out, it had cheese on it so I had to send it back. The service is mediocre and the employees behind the desk were not friendly. read more

Craft Burger This was my second visit to Craft Burger. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich with tater tots, a drink and a cookies and cream milkshake. My husband had the same except he got a cheeseburger instead of the grilled cheese. Everything was great!! The food and the service were wonderful. We will definitely be back! read more

The Craft Burger - The cheese burger with bacon and a fried egg, seasoned fries - Burgers Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Fast- Super friendly staff- Amazing fresh burgers with delicious ingredients ! I will be back.

I know the menu is very limited, but I was very off put by the response I got from the cook when asked if they had veggie burgers. "This is a burger place" and that's why I asked if they had veggie burgers. I ended up with a grilled cheese and the fries. Decent, but nothing special. Probably will not be back. It's really far from my house and I can make a basic grilled cheese at home. read more

The Craft Burger is what a true hamburger should taste like. Just simply a Burger, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion and all the goodness they put into it. I, literally, just finished inhaling my Craft Burger along with real French fries and it satisfied my desire to have a good burger tonight. Thank you. read more

I tried to take a picture of this burger about three times but I never do because when it hits my plate it is gone! Everything is always fresh hot and delicious! read more

I rarely ever order burgers for lunch, but for some reason I was craving one today and wandered in here after shopping at an antique mall nearby. I wasn't sure if the burger looked like anything special, but I ordered a cheeseburger and took the server's recommendation to get some seasoned fries on the side. OH MY WORD. I didn't even try the burger for the first five minutes because I couldn't stop eating the fries! They are covered on some sort of spice mix and shredded Parmesan cheese. Heavenly! At first I tried the burger without the sauce, and even then it was hot, juicy, and packed with flavor. I eventually enjoyed it with the sauce, but the burger was so good on its own that it barely needed it. I can't wait to come back! read more

The Craft Burger - The Cheese Burger with Seasoned Fries - Burgers Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Look, I understand the constraints and challenges associated with the current environment. If a restaurant is going to operate via a delivery service, I'd like to think there's some sense of obligation to either deliver everything on the order or contact the customer to say "hey...we're out of (item), would you like a replacement or would you prefer to cancel the order?" Food delivery services are not inexpensive so to send a partial order and refund the difference is incredibly frustrating. First world problem? Absolutely! But if you're going to operate in the first world and charge a premium for the privilege of ordering from your establishment, don't let yourself off the hook by shorting an order and saying "here's some of your money back." That's not how it works in person, it shouldn't be that way when customers pay even more. read more
