This is a cute hipster restaurant with good food and good prices. The buns on the burgers are awesome, but the food overall is really good. Good fries, tasty beef, etc. My only complaint was the specialty jack daniels ketchup - I prefer Heinz, but they were happy to bring me some. Service is not super attentive, but the wait... More

Enjoyed my first visit to Burger Up in Nashville. The service was great, food was off the charts, and the people watching worth a ticket price. Loved the diversity of the crowd. I really think this was my favorite burger ever - cooked perfectly and with a great toasted bun. I will return.

Great food, neat atmosphere, good service! The food is local and you can tell. The parking was a little hard to find. It's close to downtown which is nice. My country husband even liked it. The bison burger was great!

If you want a good burger, this us the place to go! wow! We got two different ones and shared them. The truffle fries and sweet potato fries were yummy too. The prices are reasonable because the food is top quality. Its a small little artsy place. Parking can be hard to find if you go during the lunch and... More

I would recommend the hot wings with habanero sauce. The cheese plate is also solid. The atmosphere is open and friendly. There is also a full bar. You can get Las Paletas next door.

My family and I stopped here while in Nashville on vacation. I had the Marathon (veggie) Burger and my parents had the Ramsey Burger. The burgers were amazing and I enjoyed the homemade ketchup for the fries. The only thing that i am kicking myself about is not getting the truffle fries. There is always next time! Definitely a "must... More

I was over in Nashville on business this April, staying with friends and on one of my first evenings in the area, they introduced me to 'Burger Up'. I want to tell you with great excitement that I have seldom in my life, if ever, eaten in such a charmingly managed and welcoming burger restaurant. It is a cool, hip,... More

My husband and I both had the Woodstock burger with (local) Benton bacon, cheese made in in TN, and Jack Daniel's sauce. The kitchen was kind enough to substitute red meat for bison. The sweet potato fries were good but the crowning joy of this meal was by far the onion rings. They were not greasy at all and were... More

We love going to the 12South area and finally tried Burger Up. It is wonderful! My burger had bacon and BBQ sauce and my husband had the pimento cheese burger. Both were amazing! My favorite part of the meal though was the fries and homeade ketchup. They were absolutely delicious. We will be back!

I have lived in this town several years, and have always loved this spot. The burgers are amazing, the beef comes from a local farm and they always use good fresh ingredients. If you want a burger in Nashville, this is the place! Amazing!!
