Burger and fries -excellent. Even with having to pay for fries (your burger comes with greens). You get 1-2 sauces with the fries in addition to ketchup. We actually ended up trying 3 sauces + ketchup bc the wrong 1 was brought out originally. None were good -the buffalo ranch resembles nothing of ranch dressing and is thick (think like, not liquidy at all). Very bland despite the name and what taste was there was lacking. The special sauce was just thousand island like. It was the best of the bunch and still average. Rating 3 not 4 because the Brussels (yes, it's Brussels with an 'S' not brussel) sprouts tasted/smelled like feet. It's not just me -I love Brussels sprouts. Who on earth orders Brussels sprouts to "try" -no one. You either like or don't like. Well I like, and took one bite and couldn't eat any more. Also they are shredded and just weird. It's not me Brussels sprouts, it's you. Also rating 3 not 2 because the manager took them off of our bill. I didn't complain, she asked how everything was as she was clearing dishes and I answered honestly. Go for the burgers, not the "extras." Oh also, they don't have Jack Daniels?? Weird. They did have four roses though. #highend. Environment was nice and location is perfect. But I left kind of disappointed. That was fixed when I went and got frozen yogurt next door... read more

We went on an off day so it wasn't too busy and we got our orders in 15 mins. The chili cheese fries were sooo rich they were delicious. The meat on the chili cheese fries was so flavorful i could eat it as a whole different appetizer! My friend got a chicken burger which was just ok. My burger was good, tho I wish the patty was more flavorful. The burger was made by the other ingredients in it such as the green chile sauce and the egg. I would come back to try their other special fries and burgers! read more

Gastro/pub/burger bar etc.....I know, queue the eye roll.....and most times agree. I stopped in because I wanted a beer. But, along with it came a great dinner with terrific service. Clean modern industrial looking, a bit on the loud side. The pitch here is free-range New Zealand beef. I don't have the palette to distinguish the "free-ranginess" of it, but its honestly pretty outstanding. As expected, a strong beer selection. read more

$50 for 2 burgers, sides and drinks. I love a good burger and figured We couldn't go wrong with a name like Burger Bach. Fries were cold, burgers tasted like Burger King. Wanted to try this place for a while. Wish we hadn't. read more

This review will be hard to write, because I feel like there aren't words to explain how amazing this place is. I'm going to try it out, though! First, the vibe feels casual, yet it's a great atmosphere for a date night as well. The lighting is cool and the decor makes you feel like you've taken a quick trip to a gastropub in New Zealand- it's what they were going for, and I feel like it is working. There is a large bar and plenty of seating at small tables and large farmhouse style tables as well. The food is the real draw, though, which is what you would want in a restaurant. The whole idea here is modeled after a New Zealand style gastropub. There are options for seafood, including oysters, delicious salads, amazing hand cut fries, and of course, delicious grass fed/ grass finished beef and lamb from New Zealand, as well as pasture raised chicken. All of their sauces and condiments are made by hand and they are all extremely delicious and fresh-tasting. I've tried four different burgers here, and I loved every one of them. My favorites have to be The Hangover Cure for a beef burger and The Kiwi Chick for a chicken burger. Their chicken burgers are extremely moist and flavorful, and the taste of the beef is other-worldly (or maybe just from another side of the Earth?) I absolutely love the fries, and the cilantro sauce is among my favorites for the dipping sauces. The guac is fantastic as well. Truly, everything I've tried just tastes so good, I could rave about it all day. I still have yet to try any seafood or lamb, but you can bet I'll be back for more! The service was fast and friendly, and we were in and out pretty quickly on a busy night, but not too quickly that we couldn't enjoy ourselves. The people here are passionate about what they are doing, and it totally comes through in the taste and quality of the food! read more

Fully mediocre in every way. We came very early on a Saturday evening (kiddo dinner time), and it wasn't crowded yet so our service was fine. We ordered one of the fry indulgences and two burgers, to split partly with our toddler. There was no kids' menu so far as we could tell, but I suppose you could order one of the non-burger sandwiches for an older child. Not much for the toddler crowd except the sides - kale, broccoli, mushrooms, or a fruit cup - if your toddlers go in for those kinds of things (in which case, why would you come to a burger joint?). The fries were pretty good, but the burgers were basically just a small slice of salty meat with a million sauces and toppings heaped over it to cover up the small, salty sadness at the center. (I got the Aucklander; my husband the super deluxe.) The overall taste was ok, since the sauces and bacon and all that do have flavor, just not the flavor of a burger. I also got a ginger beer, which is a nice thing to have on a menu, but which came to me in the aluminum can with no glass or ice. Prices are objectively reasonable for upscale pub food, but this pub food failed to go far enough up the scale to be worth $20/person. read more

This is my go to place when I'm craving a burger and fries. I personally love the Wanaka Chick and the Matamata burgers. Service is always great, they have a rotating selection of local beers on tap, and their fries are so good. The small fry is pretty big, but my wife and I get the large anyway because we know who we are. The cilantro sauce and basil pesto aioli are our fav sauces. read more

I've been to Burger Bach three times now. Each time I leave feeling disappointed with my burger. After this most recent visit I won't be going back. One of the main sticking points for me is that the burgers here are the same price as at Citizen Burger Bar (once you add the cost of fries), but they aren't nearly as good. The burgers have odd combinations of flavors that just don't do it for me. If I'm going out for burgers around Cville I'd much rather head to the mall and enjoy a burger there, than visit what's essentially a characterless shopping center and have one here. As an aside, reliably all three times I've left this restaurant I've had digestive issues within 30 minutes of finishing my meal which have planted me on a toilet. read more

I've been here 4 times in the past year. 3 times they have not had a standard item on their menu. I'm a vegetarian and always get the black bean burger because that is my only option. This time they were out of that. The waitress suggested a burger even after I explained that I was a vegetarian. After explaining that I don't eat fish or meat, the waitress then suggested a tuna burger. Although amusing, the fact remains that this is inexcusable and simply poor management. I don't plan on coming back. read more

We dined in for a late lunch. The restaurant was almost empty, only one other table occupied inside and one table outside. The food was excellent. We all had burgers and we shared a large order of fries between the 3 of us. We had a street corn burger, North Lamb, and a Pit Boss. All very good. The fries came with 3 very tasty aiolis. The service was awful. The server disappeared several times and for over 5 minutes at one point was joking with his friends and the other indoor table, which seemed to be employees themselves. It took over 10 minutes to get him to bring the bill. I'd assume he was just having an off day. I'd be willing to give it another try. read more

This place is your typical burger place with a wide variety of burgers on the menu. They do stand out with their sauces. I recommend getting an appetizer of fries, with an assortment of different sauces to try. IMO this place works a a great place for mixed drinks, and something to munch on. If you are looking for a variety of food this is not the place. read more

I was extremely excited to go here since I really enjoyed the Richmond location. It was a nice day, so we wanted to sit outside. The person we asked to get seated outside was upset (maybe not at us?) and told us all of the available tables weren't cleaned yet. She said 10 minute wait and I totally didn't mind waiting at all. She was thoroughly bothered by it and walked off...I should've left the place at this point. Get seated outside, I'm feeling good and the waitress working outside was nice. She wasn't great at being attentive to us but she was nice. I wanted to get the black bean burger since I can't eat meat. I know, why go to a burger place? Because I was told their black bean burger was great. It was then that I was told they were out of it and it takes a long time for the kitchen to make? I was pretty confused and disappointed at this point. It takes a long time to make? Maybe they were understaffed. That left me with salads and seafood. So, I ordered some $10 mussels. Those were ok, tiny but ok. I wasn't full and regretted not ordering a salad. Totally my fault. Anyway, the person with me ordered a burger that was soggy. The highlight of the entire meal were the fries and the ketchup. That was it. Other than that, it wasn't what I had in Richmond. I was so very disappointed. read more

We had a group of 16 people on a Saturday night and were told it would be a 45 minute wait. We were staying down the road at the Hyatt so we agreed. We then went to the bar and had drinks. They had a pretty extensive craft beer list and a full bar. My only problem with the bar is that every craft beer I wanted to order on the list was no longer available. The bartender did ask me what kind of beer I liked and she recommended a few, so that was nice. We sat down at our table much quicker than 45 minutes, probably more like 20 minutes. I have a garlic allergy and the waiter made sure to tell the kitchen so that my burger would not be seasoned. The fries are amazing, probably some of the best I have had in a while. When the burgers came out they gave me the wrong burger which I only found out after eating some of the salad that had dressing on it. Luckily I didn't eat much of it and I found the right order right beside me. Overall it was a good experience and everyone in my party seemed to enjoy their meals. It is a nice atmosphere too with some seating outside. read more

Good food but underwhelming service. Their Burgers are great and they have a variety of specialty sauces and menu items in addition to their burgers that are very tasty. Not sure I get the weird undressed bitter salad as a side to their burger entrees though (easy to remedy by just getting a side of fries but kind of an unnecessary hassle IMO). Their service is hit or miss; we've had a couple of servers that seemed as though they were working their first job and even one that provided completely incorrect allergen information. Other times, we've gotten fantastic service so just cross your fingers... Overall, this is a low-key place with some pretty tasty burgers. Worth a shot if you're in Stonefield. read more

If you are looking to grub before venturing out into the vastly scenic side of Charlottesville, look no further. Burger Bach fries are to die for, and the sauce variety is impeccable. Overall, the waiters and staff are extremely friendly; as well as being incredibly outgoing. The burgers here are a fairly priced for how they taste (my only complaint is that the burgers aren't bigger.) I was thinking about giving Burger Bach 4 stars, but that would be a disservice when regarding their variety. Burger Bach is truly a dining experience that can suit any taste bud, with their large variety of burger flavors and sauces. If you love venturing out of your comfort zone and trying new flavors, look no further, because Burger Bach is the place for you. read more

Love this place! We are regulars at this location and are always satisfied with the food! Our server Ethan tonight was great, and I had the southern Gent, which was delicious, however, my personal favorite is the Kiwi Chick, but you cannot go wrong with any of their burgers. Their beer selection is actually very good as well- especially if you want a good local draft selection. read more

The Roasted Oysters were excellent! New Zealand style. Try them! Chips and guacamole...meh. Guacamole was good. Needed more cilantro & tomatoes though...and probably some more onions. Chips were just "ok". The Hangover burger was awesome! I'm a big fan of egg on a burger as a UVA grad (think Gus burger). The patty is medium sized so not massive like Citizens or Zen Burger. It is a good size. The side salad vs fries definitely made me feel better about myself after downing some local beer & a burger...and oysters...and chips/guac. Whew! We also had great service. The staff was attentive and funny. Thank you Burger Bach for looking out. My hips thank you! So much for my workout today! Will definitely be back! read more

Wow! Arguably one of the best burgers I've ever had! The garlic aioli as a dipping sauce for the homemade fries was amazing, and that's not to mention how perfect the burger was! I will definitely be on the lookout for other locations closer to home. read more

BB features quality, never frozen beef and lamb from New Zealand--hardly locavore, but tasty. Had three lunches here, all wildly different from one another. The first featured the Queensland lamb burger and the East Coast beef burger . Excellent house-made sauces, creative additional and well-thought-out complementary ingredients and exceptionally meaty flavor elevated these burgers above average fare. Note to French fry fans: despite the hefty $13 price, one's burger is accompanied by a healthy, lightly dressed side salad. Fries are four bucks extra ( and very good). Our server, Ashten, was a delight: informative , thoughtful and wonderful fun. She brought us blueberry BBQ sauce to try with the fries. Oddly addictive. Second meal, with a different friend in tow: we both chose the well-dressed spinach salad, with a native NZ creamy and mild blue cheese, excellent bacon and other yummy stuff. Service not as warm but professional. Salad was small for $13, and shrimp, chicken or fish add-ins tilt it perilously close to $20--a lot for C-Ville, given the salad competition in this town. Third lunch was, except for Asia's kind and thoroughly professional service, a disaster. Although the place was one third empty, we waited a full 40 minutes for our orders to appear, assured by an increasingly nervous and visibly concerned server that they would be right out. Not her fault--there was clearly a problem in the kitchen and the guys at the pass were, how shall I say, visibly TENSE. When the food arrived, I was horrified. What had been a gorgeous lamb burger on my first visit was a greasy, over cooked mess with slimy sautéed onions and no discernible cheese. Even the bun was greasy. The side salad, lovely and fresh first visit was sadly limp and overdressed. Would I go back? Sure--it's two to one in their favor so far, and I love lamb burgers . But I'd whup some Aprons in the kitchen if I were managing the place. read more

Great original drinks. Perfect scotch Manhattan. Very good! The food is good. The service is AMAZING even on New Year's Eve! So glad we came here!! read more

Food was good. However, burgers were not cooked to order. If it matters to you that the staff follow COVID protocols, I suggest you go elsewhere. One person in the kitchen and the guy bagging to go meals consistently wore their masks on their chins. One of the waitstaff could not keep her hands off her mask. I get that masks are cumbersome and hot and that it is more difficult to communicate with them on, but if I'm required to wear a mask to get in your establishment, you should wear a mask to prepare my food. I can't help but think of all those people who ordered to go food trusting that the restaurant was following COVID protocols as I watched the employee mouth breathing on their food as he put it in the to go bag. Ick! read more

What a great new addition to the Shops at Stonefield restaurant selection! The burgers are fresh and delicious! Try the Aucklander or the East Coast (I think that's right.. Warm Brie cheese and blueberry chipotle BBQ sauce - AHmazing!). The American Shrimp are a fantastic appetizer as well as the loaded fresh cut fries! The wait staff is friendly & helpful. The managers are on hand and they stop by to make sure everything is just right! The beer selection is fantastic too! read more

Great service, excellent food. We went a couple days after opening and had a spread. The oysters were a little bland, but the burgers and fries were magnificent. read more

Best Burger i have had in Charlottesville. I suggest getting a large fry for the table and the original burger. It's sets the bar for the food! read more

Stonefield Commons is just a really pretty area to go to eat on nice days. Hubby and I took advantage of a beautiful Sunday evening to bring our almost 2 year old out for dinner. I had the California burger which was super tasty and hubby tried a large order of their classic mussels. The fries were especially delicious and while it was fun to sample the different sauces I felt that the classic organic ketchup with fresh ground pepper was best! Love their al fresca dining area right next to the grassy picnic area. read more

I take it as a good sign of a restaurant when I keep going back and trying different menu items. They must be doing something right for me to keep exploring the menu! So far, I've tried the Aucklander, the East Coast, the Asian Thai Chick, and the Wanaka Chick. All have been delicious, but I'm particularly fond of the chicken sandwiches. And I can't say I would get the East Coast burger again...I'm not feeling that blueberry chipotle sauce. All food aside, their service kinda blows. I can't tell if they are habitually understaffed or what, but the waitstaff just never seem to be there when you want them there. Clearly this hasn't been a big enough issue though since I keep going back...! read more

This is my favorite burger place in Charlottesville, VA. My favorite burger is the Queenstown lamb and my favorite cocktail is the Kiwi. That said, I have never had anything here that I did not love. I especially love the fries...perfectly cooked and ALL the choices of dipping sauces. I try a new one each time we visit. read more

It's ehhh, I got the original with fries. The burger had no seasoning tasted bland. Fries were cold. Not worth the $21 I paid.

Best burgers in town! Great selection of beers and their fries and dipping sauces are outstanding. Love the vibe and we end up going here at least once a month. read more

Burger Bach purports to be a New Zealand style restaurant, and, if this is how they do burgers in New Zealand, I will not be ordering burgers there. I ordered the West Coast burger with fries, served with the garlic aioli and the manuka honey mustard. The burger was messy and not particularly juicy (even though I ordered the burger "pink"), but the sauces on the burger were lacking in flavor. The fries were lightly seasoned with salt and pretty tasty, but the two sauces I picked were disappointing. The garlic flavor in the garlic aioli, and the manuka honey mustard tasted more like honey mayo than honey mustard (it is possible they gave us the wrong sauce or there was a miscommunication). One positive for this restaurant is the selection of beers on tap is fairly vast at over 25 available. Overall, I cannot recommend Burger Bach outside of happy hour and definitely cannot recommend the burger or the sauces I ordered. read more

We are visiting and stopped here Labor Day for drinks and an appetizer since it was walking distance from the Hyatt. I gave 5 stars because of our bartender Julian (we sat at the bar). He was absolutely the best! Great customer service! He recommended the 7 Hills Nachos which were excellent. We got the beef since I'm not a fan of lamb. Because if him we will try to get back on Wednesday for his special kiwi drink! No matter good food or sub par food it doesn't matter if you don't have the right staff. Staff keeps people coming back and Julian is a keeper! read more

Good but not great, except for the fries & sauce which were amazing. The burger selection is very good, and the lamb burger I had was pretty good. The bun was way too soft, although it tasted good. The meat ordering is odd, they do pink/not pink instead of rare-well done, and the pink is barely pink. Our waiter didn't know their drink menu at all, she brought out a small amount of beer saying it was the last of the type I had ordered and a sampler of a similar one. Except that she couldn't tell me which was which on the menu and then brought me out another beer (which I think was the one I had ordered that she said was gone). She didn't charge me for an extra drink, but I was so confused and don't know what I was drinking with my dinner. She also delivered our food to the wrong people, and we had to independently figure out which was what. read more

The food and service isn't ways consistent but whwn it's good it is good. If they brought back the chili me and my friends would live there!

I absolutely love the burgers from Burger Bach - when they get it right. For people with allergies, Burger Bach is a terrible restaurant to go to. I have a dairy allergy and asked for a burger without cheese, and was subsequently served a burger with cheese. I thought it was merely a fluke, but ordered from them recently on doordash, selecting "no cheese" and writing an extra note in the special instructions section saying "NO CHEESE", and, amazingly, received a burger with cheese. This is terrible service and represents a complete lack of care and attention for people with allergies. Excellent burger (honestly), but if you have allergies make sure you tell the staff 10+ times unless you want them to make you an entirely new burger. read more

Very clean, setup is very approachable. Service was very attentive. The "hangover cure" burger has an amazing taste and was very filling. It's a $14 burger so if that's too expensive for you then this place isn't for you. That being said it's worth the money the burger was that good. Last thing parking is kinda sparse but not worth taking away from the food rating. read more

Burger Bach - Green chili spicy queso Fried indulgence - Burgers Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

We choose this place primarily because their beef and lamb is halal and happen to be sourced from NZ. We like their service. We visited them during the pandemic a couple of times. Both times the burger patties were cooked nicely and the cheese and sauce proportion was good. The bun is not too heavy. We tried both their lamb and beef burgers. My son liked their PB&J sandwich. We will recommend this place to all visitors in Charlottesville. read more
