Friendly service, both on the phone and in person. The meat on the burger was terrible... I had a burger to-go. Because was waiting in the restaurant when it left the kitchen and I ate in the parking lot, it had little opportunity to continue to cook. The time between when it left the kitchen and I was in my car opening the container was like 45 seconds, maybe 50 seconds. My medium (pink in the inside) burger was grey and dry, more like well-done. See pics... The fixings were great and were what stood out...but there was little joy in the meat itself, as it was dry and overcooked. They weren't busy...was like 2:30 in the afternoon. It's hard to understand how a premium burger shop gets it that wrong, but it happens... Anyway, when you like Medium Rare and accept Medium because that's what most places like at a minimum, there's no dining pleasure when you get a burger that's Well Done. Did I enjoy it? Nope. But it least it was a high protein snack. That being said, am I irritated that I was served such a dry burger? Yep. read more

Solid spot for a tasty, fancier burger in the Foothills. For the burgers, you choose between a single 8oz patty or 2 4oz patties (smash burger style) - I opted for a single which was huge and had leftovers (I can see why other tables split the burgers between 2 people). I had the Uptown burger which had a nice char - the caramelized onions and uptown sauce made it feel fancier than a standard burger. My husband had the Nashville chicken which was good too and packed a bit of heat. We shared regular and sweet potato fries which were crunchy and not too greasy - we preferred the regular ones. Food took a bit of time to come out even for a weeknight but it was worth the wait. read more

We've been wanting to head over to try Uptown burger because a few family members said it was delicious. We walked in on a Saturday during lunch time and immediately got to pick a seat. The decor was super fun with pics of hamburgers around the space, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. They have a spacious outdoor patio, a bar and various tables for seating. Service was a bit slow for a weekend but, everyone was friendly and helped us decide on a few menu items. They have wine and beer, and also cocktails. I decided to try their Uptown burger, medium rare and we split a sweet potato fries. The burger was rich and delicious. You could tell the meat was high quality because it tasted fresh. I also got protein style (without bun) and everything added was really tasty. My husband tried the French dip and it was really flavorful but, it was so much food he had to take half of it home. Overall, we were happy with our lunch experience and consider this one of the better locally owned burger spots in town. read more

First off we went right at 11am which was the perfect lunch time. We must have beat the rush. It's a burger joint with a twist on elegance. Their ranch was the best I've had in a while with some delicious seasoned waffle fries. Our server was very attentive and kind. It wasn't a big place but it was very open, good lighting and clean. read more

My wife and I went to Uptown Burger for a mid week dinner date. We arrived around 6:30p and were seated inside right away. They have a covered patio, but we're fans of the cold ac. The staff was friendly and helpful. My wife got a red ale to go with her grilled tuna burger, substitute the bun for coleslaw. On our servers recommendation I ordered the lettuce wrapped French dip burger. We split a large fries and it was just the right amount of food where we were satisfied, full but not stuffed. My wife loved the tuna and it was seared well, where it was still raw on the inside. Tbh e French dip was flavorful and I loved the au jus dipping sauce. If you're looking for a high quality burger Uptown is a great option. read more

We had been wanting to try uptown burger for a while. It didn't disappoint! The burger options are numerous. They also offer a vegan Impossible burger which is what we each ordered. The burger was pretty good but a touch too salty for my taste, thus the star deduction. Sides are extra. We ordered the sweet potato fries and they were probably the best I've had in a long time. Service was friendly and quick. I think it would've been perfect if it weren't quite as salty. Will definitely be back. read more

Restaurants and bars are also about expectations, what type of restaurant are you going to? And everyone is under staffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working. It's an interesting place in upscale strip mall, the parking is ok but could be a problem, I went for a late lunch so it wasn't an issue. It was also interesting to see a bunch of high school kids in there getting burgers after school. The service was fast and efficient. It's also about being realistic about the food. I had the regular burger with a small order of sweet potato fries and it was good. If I was in the neighborhood , I might consider this as an option but not as a destination restaurant for me. They also have a at least six to eight craft beers available. read more

I did a google search for dinner and came across Uptown Burger. Reviews rated it high and considering it wasn't too far from the resort, we decided to give it a try. Terrible decision. I ordered 2 kids cheeseburgers and the hot chicken sandwich. The estimated time for waiting was 25 minutes... 45 minutes later the 2 orders in front of me were still waiting themselves. I understand a wait. What upset me is that the restaurant continued taking orders and communicating a 25 minute wait. That is just foul. Not only are customers not able to make an educated decision, but the cooks were getting slammed by the dishonesty. Best thing I received is a refund - even then that will be a wait in itself. If you're trying to get a good burger or similar sandwich in a good amount of time. I recommend driving a few minutes further to Redbird Scratch Kitchen. read more

Absolutely terrible service tonight. Waited 45 before anyone even acknowledged our table and then only after we went up twice asking if someone could take our order. One hour later we got our food. read more

I wanted to extend my sincere gratitude for the exceptional service we received on Veterans Day from Leah. Not only was the food delicious, but Leah greeted us with an amazing smile and kept us informed about when our takeout order would be ready. She never stopped moving and was gracious with every guest she served. She even answered the phone with the same warm, friendly energy. Leah is truly an asset to your restaurant and should be considered for a trainer role. Thank you! read more

We love the vegan burger! And I don't like burgers. The staff is kind and courteous always.

Stopped in for a quick lunch date... loved that their menu wasn't overwhelmingly large with selections. Got the vegan burger & hubby got the Nashville chicken sandwich. Both were delicious - we also got the regular fries & sweet potato fries. I loved the sweet potato - perfectly crispy!! We will definitely be back to try other items off the menu. read more

I dropped in here yesterday morning to get some takeout. I ordered a French dip sandwich, a tuna sandwich, sweet potato fries, and a corn and pesto side. It came to $50 including tax and tip. My friend and I enjoyed the French dip with au jus, the fries and the corn. The tuna sandwich was left over, so I'll have it for dinner tonight. The three items I tried were all good and the prices reasonable. The vibe of the place itself is modern and upscale. The wait for the food was not long. read more

Omg amazing. Burger is top notch. Buttery bun, juicy tender beef, perfectly seasoned! You've gotta try this place!

This is becoming one of my favorite restaurants!! Love the casual vibe and everything we have ordered is amazing! I'm a fan of the sit down table service dining they recently started. Can't go wrong with and salad or burger from here. The burgers are huge and messy, so you may result to eating with a fork and a knife. Kiddos love it too! They love upgrading their drinks to milkshakes! I also LOVE that you can get sparkling water instead of tap at no additional charge! Definitely a must go! read more

Best burger in Tucson! Absolutely love Uprown Burger- it reminds me of what Zinburger was like way back when... The service is friendly and accommodating, the ambience is very nice, but the food is great. My husband and I split the Cobb salad and the Sonoran burger and loved both. Our friends had the ahi sandwich and the salad with chicken that was requested fried rather than the usual grilled. Our server didn't bat an eye, she just got the orders to us perfectly. We were all so happy with our food and drink. I'm just sorry it's taken us this long to try it. read more

Went for a late lunch yesterday, Monday, (10/21/2024) and because the weather was just so nice I decided to sit on the patio. My server was just absolutely amazing and I can't say enough about how wonderful she took care of me and handled all my requests. Food came out promptly and looked just like the pictures. I ordered the BLT Avocado burger with provolone instead of American (50 cent upcharge to sub), a side of fries and an iced tea. The sandwich was huge, the lettuce crispy, the tomatoes perfect along with the bacon and provolone too. So, what was wrong? The meat. Absolutely tasteless. I don't know. Lots of folks say the meat is great. Maybe it depends on who mixes it up but mine was tasteless and, after all, I went for the burger. So, no mas. Loved my server though! read more

Great burger! Recommend using the toothpick as the burger is big and juicy (read:messy). Also enjoyed the roasted corn with pesto. Yum!

Just what the doctor ordered on this particular evening. We had a tuna sandwich and a burger both with sweet potato fries all of it was great. The coleslaw on the tuna was ridiculously good.. The patio was quite pleasant to sit out and about a medium busy night. We had perfect service. read more

I do give this place 5 stars solely on how good that Uptown Burger was. That is a fantastic hamburger. I did order the Uptown Burger with 2x 4oz patties and would probably go with the single next time. The french fries are very disappointing I can't understand coated fries. Same quality of fries you get at the airport Marriott, I find this a bit lazy. The kiosk ordering, self serve drinks and taking a number is a bit impersonal for the price point on the meal. read more

We went to Uptown Burger for the first time today and loved it. Waitress was great! My husband and I split a salad and burger and they served it on separate plates for us which was perfect. All the food was delicious. My husband who is not a huge salad fan loved the grape & gorgonzola salad. Overall it was a great experience and we will definitely be back. read more

Have heard good things about this place. Love a good burger so knew thid was a place to check out. Their menu looked great, so decided since I was sharing the best plan get and try a few things of the lovely menu. Ordered ahead off their website: their French Dip burger, med rare, sub brioche for ciabatta; Sonoran Burger, med rare; Grape Gorgonzola Salad; and their French Fries. Be careful in that parking lot. But the restaurant is gorgeous and the staff is very helpful. Burgers: so juicy and delicious, salad: colorful and tasty, fries: crispy and yummy. Will I go back? Of course I will, more menu items to try! Def will revisit that French Dip! read more

When I've tried expensive ($13+) burgers in the past - I was usually overwhelmed with toppings/accompaniments that just eclipsed the whole flavor/idea of a good burger. If you're dining in, you order by using one of their touch screens. When you choose your burger, the meat temperature options are 'pink in the middle' or 'medium well (two patties),' if you choose the pink option, you can still request a different temperature option for your meat patty under 'special instructions' or add it to the 'instruction' section. There are no bundled/meal options, so if you want fries, you'll have to add them to your burger order. Uptown's burgers are very juicy, so juicy that it will cause the burger bun to fall apart. For my first burger here, I tried their namesake Uptown burger: Caramelized Onion, Boar's Head American Cheese, Hans Jurgen Dill Pickle Chips, Lettuce, Vine Tomato, Uptown Sauce, Brioche Bun. It was super tasty and kind of like a fancy big mac and I mean that in the most complimentary way. My burger here was piled high. I made no substitutions and did not add anything extra. I was very satisfied with my selection. I added an order of fries. The amount I received seemed to be the same size as an order of biggie fries, if that's a good reference for you. These fries were standard cut and salted. They were piping hot, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I'm very happy to have tried Uptown and am now a fan. read more

This place is so mid. I always appreciate quality meat and the ability to tell guests where the meat is sourced from.... But, the burger wasn't very hot when it came out. There was an overload of sauce on it. Such a waste to cover up great tasting meat with a thick layer of sauce!!! Fries tasted like generic fries that come out of a plastic bag. And the vibe is just kinda off. It's supposed to be a "boutique burger" joint yet it's presented like a sports bar with really nice floral plates. Our server was nice, and that's about it. Honestly, the whole concept just seems slapped together with a big ol' price tag. read more
