The atmosphere is phenomenal; great outdoor seating with a bar area and the look of a well established establishment. They have lots of creative mixed drinks both with and without alcohol. Many I would have liked to try. I had the straganoff burger and while they mailed the straganoff flavor the burger the actual burger patties were a little dense and could have been frozen patties for all I know. Such great potential. Food came out extremely fast for how busy the place was; and the bartender had a smile and was very accommodating. Wish there was a little more attention paid to the burger patty itself as it is the main attraction of the menu. read more

The Pharmacy Burger Parlor & Beer Garden - Outdoor seating area - Burgers Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I'm from out of town visiting Nashville and a friend recommended this wonderful place. I had the White Oak BBQ Burger which comes with house-made Coca-Cola BBQ sauce, smoked bbq onions, provolone, Gifford's bacon, crispy onion straws and pickle. What an amazing combination of flavors. The service here was attentive, friendly and the food came out in about five minutes. Parking was a little difficult as this area has a few popular hangouts and can get busy at times, but it was well worth the couple minutes it took to find a parking spot. If you're looking for a cool restaurant with a GREAT menu and friendly service I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Twelve long years since my last trip to Nashville. But destiny beckoned, a siren song of savory delight drawing me back to experience the legendary "Pharmacy Burger" And oh, the ecstasy! The bun, a cloud of ethereal softness cradling the anticipation. Then, the first bite: a crescendo of premium, succulent meat, its juices a vibrant Major melody upon my tongue. Each element of toppings, a perfectly orchestrated chord, blending into a symphony of flavor that danced through my senses, transitioning into a somber Minor tune with every bite as the culinary performance that demands an encore inevitably ends. For those who crave a truly exceptional burger, this Nashville treasure is worth giving a shot! It's not the overall "best" burger you'll ever have, but considering its region and options available, it's among the best if not the best you'll get in the Nashville area * Service was ok, not particularly great, but by no means bad either. * Atmosphere is nice * Parking can be scarce * Price is high for a burger joint, but considering its quality it's fairly worth it. read more

Pharmacy burger was delicious, loved the garlic aioli too. Food came out surprisingly fast for how busy it was. Definitely worth it to check out this place! read more

Sat at the bar and had great service! The ladies were so helpful and kind. Got to taste the house rootbeer before ordering. Not a fan. But the wanted caramel whiskey shake was quite yummy! We both got burgers and they were good - could not eat them all - have lunch for tomorrow! Will go back! read more

Extremely disappointing experience after 10 years of coming here This has been a yearly stop for my family and me for the last 10 years whenever we visit Nashville. We've always looked forward to coming here and have recommended Pharmacy Burger to many friends over the years. Unfortunately, our most recent visit completely changed that. I was served food that was clearly raw/undercooked, which is not just a quality issue -- it's a serious food safety hazard and potential health violation. Serving raw food that is supposed to be fully cooked puts customers at risk for foodborne illness, so I immediately brought it to the staff's attention and asked to speak with the manager. Despite requesting the manager multiple times, the manager on duty refused to come to the table. I was essentially blown off and dismissed, which was extremely frustrating given the seriousness of being served unsafe food. There was no apology and no acknowledgment from management at all. Instead, the entire situation was left for the server to handle, and I want to be clear that the server was great and did their best to help and stay professional. But it should never be the server's responsibility to deal with a food safety issue without management stepping in. When a customer is served raw food and specifically asks to speak with a manager, the bare minimum expectation is that the manager comes over, apologizes, and addresses the situation. The fact that the manager refused to come to the table at all reflects very poorly on the management and standards at this restaurant. It's extremely disappointing to say that after 10 years of making this a tradition and recommending it to others, we will no longer be returning or recommending Pharmacy Burger. Very unfortunate experience. read more

No need to check goodRX, this place has the best meds ;) Driving through Nashville on a road trip, we wanted a good burger in a vibey dog friendly locale. Pharmacy was perfect, it has a large covered patio we sat at, and even though it was raining we didn't feel a drop. We got the pharmacy burger for $14 and it was perfect. Plenty to share, great basket of fries and service was quick service. Judging by the crowd the place is popular but the patio is chill. Would definitely go back. read more

so good!! i try to come here every time i'm in town. one of my favorite burgers anywhere

The food was great, I really love the build your own burger aspect. The fact they have so many vegan dairy alternatives for those who suffer from being lactose intolerant is a win. The only thing that I wasn't a fan of was our waiter didn't make us feel really welcome, especially as we were one of the two tables in the restaurant. Other than that the food was amazing and I will definitely be coming back! read more

The Pharmacy Burger Parlor & Beer Garden - Burgers Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

There are a few spots in East Nashville that help define the neighborhood for what it is - and I think The Pharmacy is one of them. I've been to this restaurant a handful of times, and always appreciate the laid-back local vibes. Whether you sit indoors or outdoors, you're in for a casual but memorable meal. On my most recent visit, a friend and I ate dinner outside in the Beer Garden. Even on a weeknight they were busy, and while we didn't have to wait for a table, many of the parties that arrived after us did. I will say that the outdoor seating is a little different - they utilize community tables, so if you're not comfortable sitting right beside strangers, you may want to opt to dine inside. I ordered the White Oak Burger, and paired it with an Oktoberfest beer and some sweet potato fries. The burger was well-cooked and extra saucy - I especially liked the crunch from the fried onions. My fries could have used a bit more salt, but the texture was spot on. If you haven't been to The Pharmacy yet - definitely check it out. This is a fun spot for a weeknight burger and brew - and I know we'll be back soon. read more

Had the stroganoff burger. Huge burger, great flavor.. could only eat half. but just wish it had more mushrooms.. vs just cream sauce. Cream sauce takes over burger taste. Still.. totally solid burger. I would try different burger next time. Staff was very nice and helpful. And don't get made if u ask for a Diet Coke and they don't have it. Try something different! Edit post review: I was not expecting Diet Coke, etc.. I was very happy with selection of house brands. I was just letting new people know, don't expect to get ur regular, run if the Coke products! That's all'. read more

We were the first customers as they opened at 11:00. On entering, the staff quickly and politely greeted us. They say us in a small table amongst the crowd of floor tables - it worked, but as a tall guy short tables suck! Our server came to the table and brought water quickly. She took our drink order and had them on the table super fast. She took our order and it came in enough time for us to enjoy a bit of the ambiance and clientele as they began entering the restaurant. From my observation, the restaurant was once a great place. Now, it is probably a great dive bar, better visited at night when you can't see its tired decor. Nothing fancy, just doing the job and not the best for food quality. Sadly the wife and I ordered it exactly the same burger and drink. We both ordered white oak bbq burger. Interesting enough we were asked if we wanted the bbq sauce on them and hers had it and mine was dry! We weren't asked how we wanted them cooked, yet they were served so well done they were close to shoe leather. My wife had the German Potato Salad as a side and I had the fries. Her Potato Salad was more like soup and my fries were cold and soggy. It was a bust of a meal - strike 2. Now back to the seating.... The majority of patrons went to the outside beer garden while we weren't asked nor did we know about on entering the restaurant. Hummm..... no for sitting inside, we were the only ones at a table for the first 20 minutes and staff decided to sit a group at the table behind us. Generally not a problem. However, there was so little room between my chair and theirs the patron continued to bum my chair until I repositioned our table so the both of us could fit in the space! Not comfortable! In summary, i can't find the need to return. For as many bars and burger joints available, I can't justify a $50 lunch for less than mediocre. I really don't like blasting a place, especially one that has great potential, but there is a ton to learn here before charging $50 for lunch and not delivering on the remainder of value. read more

Man, Nashville is the place for food and interesting pubs and bars. Even one they call the Pharmacy known for its burgers and tap beers. Love love love the ambiance and the people here seem to love it here. From the customers that sat next to me at the bar to the friendly smile and service from the bartender to the greeter at the door. I had the Bbq burger and damn! So good. I had to try the potato salad here and it's the best I have ever had in awhile. You owe it to yourselves to visit The Pharmacy when in Nashville. Oh yes, I will be back.... Remember to support your local eateries so we don't starve... read more

Always stop when I am in this part of town. Very consistent Great burgers and Soda shop options. Love the outdoor dining area.

The Pharmacy is a Nashville GEM. Best burgers in town, plus many other choices. Whether you eat inside or out in the beer garden, you'll be glad you tried it. Be aware though, the place gets busy often. Be prepared to wait for a seat. Grab a drink, look around and build your appetite. It's worth the wait. read more

A MUST when in Nashville. I'm actually jealous of locals for this one!!! We ALWAYS stop in when we are traveling. This trip was on our way back from Rochester, MN to GA and we went out of our way to stop!! It's THAT good. Had a triple cheese burger, they are farm fresh and delicious!!!! I selected my cheeses because they have about 12 different kinds and I didn't want what they put on it. I got havarti, provolone, and ghost pepper. Thank goodness I got the other 2 because the ghost pepper was intense! By half the burger, I was on fire. No worries, I ate every bit because I had the amazing house made pumpkin soda with their own phosphates. My hubby also had a cheeseburger with cheddar and ghost pepper and a creamsicle soda. All the potato sides are fabulous! We truly have never had a bad experiences here. Wait staff is attentive and kind. Service is fast! The atmosphere is fun yet chill. Love the beer garden!!! Always a good time and a great place to come with friends! read more

I've been to the Pharmacy burger a few times now while visiting my son in East Nashville and really enjoy the food and the vibe. Menu is basically German franks and burgers with great sides. I've only sat at the bar and love the service provided by the bartenders. Basically, if you have a hankering for a casual meal prepared really well with great sides like tots or German potato salad, then head on down to Pharmacy Burger and you won't be disappointed. Enjoy! read more

5 stars all the way for a perfectly made burger to satisfy my craving! I don't typically eat burgers often, so when I do, I get sad if it doesn't turn out cooked right. This burger was cooked perfectly medium. I ordered the pharmacy burger with fries, $12. The mountain of fries were amazing and it was the perfect portion to share! The outside patio is dog friendly! Staff is friendly and service is quick! I highly recommend this spot for your burger cravings!! read more

Solid burgers with lots of options, fun patio, and their regular and sweet potato fries are outstanding. Also fun alcoholic milkshakes. It does get very packed (rightfully so) so a switch to counter serve and fountain drinks would be welcome, as it can be tough to service depending on time of day. read more

Walking in, we were greeted by the host and immediately sat in the beer garden. The shrubs and garden lighting, with gentle conversation of tables around us, was a nice change from downtown. The community style seating is unique and did not affect our experience. Big drink menu with bottles and cans, also their own signature "phosphates" (think '50s soda shop). Amanda ordered a chocolate peanut butter whiskey shake and I had a wiseacre draft beer. The whiskey shake was so good: dessert and a cocktail in one! Then we ordered burgers, with there so many BYO toppings and sauces, I customized a burger and Amanda went with the mission city burger. Ranked one of the top burgers in Nashville and they certainly did not disappoint. These were the burgers my daughter had searched for all weekend. Buns are from a local bakery that others had raved about. You could tell that they are intentional with their ingredients. Big portions for the burger and the sides, neither of us finished. Only criticism is accessibility. Amanda's parents would not be able to climb the paver steps and uneven patio blocks without railings, or squeeze through bushes, under the garden strings of lights, onto narrow benches. The staff was so nice. Everyone with a smile and prompt, knowledgeable. Would we come back? Yes! read more

My boyfriend and I just moved to Nashville and have heard great things about the Pharmacy from friends. Upon having a date night recently we were very disappointed with our meal. We tried the sweet potato fries, the white oak burger with bean and corn salad and a build your own burger with a side of coleslaw. The fries came out immediately and were not hot or warm, they seemed room temp and looked sad. I love coleslaw and this coleslaw was unbearable, forget the bean and corn salad and the white oak was not worth the money. My boyfriend and I love food, especially burgers as well as trying out new places. We went on a Thursday, not sure if I could say that maybe they were just busy and the food just wasn't up to par...we just don't understand the hype. Our meal was almost $50 for something that would have been way cheaper and better tasting a fast food restaurant. Even the picture we took looks unappetizing. The White Oak Burger made my boyfriend sick. My boyfriend rates this place 1 star but our waitress was very nice and understanding- so 2 stars. read more

Burger was delish. Sauces were interesting. Great outdoor seating! Prices were reasonable.

One of my favorite Burger spots (I may be a little biased being that I was born & raised in East Nashville) The service is always top tier. They have various seating options (bar, inside, or outdoors) I always get the Pharmacy Burger, but I have promised myself to try a different one the next time that I go! read more

Oh great burger, where art thou? How about The Pharmacy. It is located right across from Mas Tacos Por Favor, so be prepared to look for parking on a busy day. I have tried a few burgers in Nashville and this has been the best so far. I believe The Pharmacy's name alludes to the soda fountains that used to exist in pharmacies decades ago. Many cold drinks are offered here including phosphates. I plan to come back and try some if the sodas and floats when the weather is much warmer. I ordered the pharmacy burger, which was a standard cheeseburger. The patty was cooked to medium as ordered. The burger was a decent size and I finished putting the burger together. The beef was seasoned well, was juicy, and flavorful. The flavor of the cheese came through as well and just as important the bun held up to the patty, condiments, and toppings. I don't really eat fries., but they were fine. The Pharmacy definitely made me happy on a cold night. read more

Wow! What a great find. The Pharmacy is a restaurant serving burgers in the East Nashville area. It was quite busy on the weekend during lunch time, but we were still able to be quickly seated. Given how hot it was, we opted to sit indoors, but there was a fun outdoor area to consider checking out! I ordered the Pharmacy burger (had to go with what I assumed was their special from the name) with sweet potato fries. I also asked for maple mustard sauce on the side. The burger was amazing! Very satisfying. The sweet potato fries, likewise, were delicious with a perfect amount of salt to complement the sweet taste. I really enjoyed eating them with the maple mustard which was a welcomed surprise! I'll be back again- such a great restaurant! read more

We placed a to-go order and received our food relatively quickly. This is as close to a homemade burger as you'll get (including sloppiness and massive flavor). It was so very good. My husband had the bratwurst and chili. He also bragged about how his tasted really good too. The establishment was dimly lit but no one seemed to mind that at all. Also, people were enjoying themselves and having a good time. read more
