Came here with a couple friends and it was pretty busy!! So we had to wait 20 minutes for a table - but given that it was a Saturday night that's to be expected! I got the East Coast burger and I really enjoyed it!! The blueberry sauce is really interesting and I like how they give side salads as well. But of course, we ordered fries and our table loved the garlic aioli dipping sauce the most! Definitely recommend that one. I really enjoyed our meal! Our server was so nice (I'm blanking on his name), and I would definitely go again! read more

Burger Bach - Burgers Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Yes, burgers are delicious, but we come here for the crispy fries and array of sauces. The basil aoili is my absolute favorite. You'll have to order the fries separately (hint: split the large for the table so you can try more sauces), but the burgers do come with a light salad on the side. read more

YUM. New zealand, grass-fed burgers. You can really tell the difference with grass-fed meat--it's such much lighter and you don't feel like you're eating a super fatty greasy meal. I got the Queensland lamb and it was so delicious. Not sure when I had a lamb burger last. The salad it comes with is so fresh and yummy with the vinaigrette too, although I probably would prefer the unhealthy fries option with my burger in general. My only complaint is that my friend ordered a "West Coast" burger and was given a Wellington, which has bleu cheese in it. He hates bleu cheese, so he kind of grit his teeth through the whole burger and didn't think to say anything until the check came and he was charged for the Wellington. We told the waiter, who admitted his mistake and took off $2, but I was a little surprised he didn't take off the whole burger, since he really didn't enjoy it whatsoever. I guess he should've said something sooner but he didn't realize the mistake, just thought the burger tasted off. Either way, the waiter gave great service and was super nice--I would totally come back here if I were in the area again. Their burgers are great! Just make sure they get the right order down haha. read more

We hit up Burger Bach for a birthday dinner! The restaurant wasn't busy -- only two other tables filled -- so we got seated right away. The inside is very roomy and decorated for people who like to eat out and watch sports games! There's also booths for bigger families who just want to eat dinner. The service was alright. Our server kept forgetting parts of the items we ordered (raw oysters vs cooked, size of wine order, who ordered what). We took some time to look over the menu before ordering. We got a dozen oysters with their $1.50/oyster happy hour deal for an appetizer. The oysters were delicious and reasonably priced! They have a lot of horseradish and cocktail sauce which I appreciated. The oysters were nice and clean, no shell bits. This was also my first time trying oysters so I was happy that it was pleasant. Next were the entrees. One of my friends and I ended up getting the basic burger. My other friend ordered the Queenstown lamb burger. All of these burgers only come with a side salad FYI. I enjoyed my basic burger as it was super filling and the side salad was nice. My friend that got the Queenstown burger said that it didn't taste like anything special to him. This was disappointing because $16 is hefty for a burger that only comes with a side salad. We ordered fries as a side because they claimed they were "award winning" but they were just regular old fries to me. The sauces sounded super appetizing but they just tasted flavorless to me (I got the pesto and truffle aiolis). Overall I would recommend the basic burger as it's the best bang for your buck! Also I would definitely recommend the oysters. read more

Burger Bach - Basic burger and raw oysters - Burgers Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Burgers are the best in cville! The service varies based on the server but I've always had great service! Very pleasant atmosphere to be apart of. They have a great draft list as well! The fries are a necessity when dining! The jalapeño remoulade is the best sauce for the fries! Will always be my go to burger spot!!!! read more

The only restaurant that I have been to that has a bacon-less bacon burger. Description is very misleading and deceptively written, you expect to get a burger with bacon, and sautéed onions, but what you get is no bacon and pickled onions that may have been cooked months ago. read more

Burger Bach - Receipt for lunch - Burgers Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Wife and I stopped here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Based on the recommendation from our waitress, I had the original burger. It was fantastic. Cooked how I wanted it and the toppings did much of the heavy lifting. Wife got the Auckland chicken sandwich, she thought it was good, but nothing to write home about. The highlight of the meal was the "Disco Fries". They are like poutine but with cheese sauce rather than cheese curds. They were so good and then we got sauce sampler trio to use as well. The curried honey mustard sauce is a must try. I would give a 4.5 stars if possible because the food is pricey, the burger was $14, chicken sandwich was $13, and the fries were $12, but we will be eating here again. read more

Charlottesville is lacking in amazing burger joints. My favorite was actually Red Robin because their burgers are so thick and flavorful, but they are closed. In my opinion Burger Bach is over priced like everything in Charlottesville's. The burgers are okay. They are too thin. I have eaten here 4 times in 6 years. That should tell you how amazing they are. The meat could use a little more flavor. The fries are great and hot but always way to salty. The one thing they have down is the presentation. It is simple but pleasing to the eye. read more

I'd heard great things about the triple cream blue cheese fries so I wanted to check this place out. It's a chain restaurant featuring New Zealand-style burgers, sandwiches, and hearty appetizers. There were probably about fifteen different types of burgers at least. The prices were slightly high, but good portion sizes and the flavors and cheeses on our fries and nachos were excellent. Interior was spacious and modern. Didn't check out the beer selection but they had a large menu for that as well. read more

I never write bad reviews but I just had to today. Every single table we walked by while being sat was completely dirty, had not been prebussed. I am a front of house manager so I understand not being able to buss when it's busy (which it wasn't) but all of the servers were just standing around talking. Burger was average, bun was super cold and tasted like cardboard. Kept seeing employees just standing or walking around and looking like they had no clue what they were supposed to be doing. Not a great look. Would absolutely not return. read more

Some of the best burgers in Cville. And the hospitality is phenomenal. Recommend the black and bleu tuna burger, the curry dip for fries, the crab cake "burger", the tuna bites, and the French Dip burger. Great happy hour drinks (recommend the kiwi drink). Have lived in Cville for 5 years and has been a go-to. read more

This place is amazing. I absolutely love their homemade fries with original homemade dipping sauces! I kid you not this is what I lived off of when I studied for my boards because I couldn't eat anything else. They are a conscious business with grass fed beef and lots of great burger options. Some of which I would never think of, but delicious never the less. I typically get take out, what have eaten at the restaurant once or twice. Everyone there is very Hospitable. Outdoor seating is a plus. THEY ARE OPEN DURING QUARANTINE. I got a take out order and they graciously dropped it right in my front seat through my open window. Contactless! read more

We stopped in a few weeks back for Friday afternoon happy hour. Their HH specials are fantastic! Mark downs on beer, wine, appetizers and oysters! Check out the link below. Our server, Alexis was awesome! Super helpful and friendly. We had a few beers and split the hummus and guac appetizers. The guac was really really good. Easily the best guac I've had at a burger joint. Lots of cilantro, tomato, and onion making it super fresh and tasty. Hummus....not so much. Completely generic and boring tasting. And it came with a few veg sticks and tortilla chips. It felt like little kids' food. Come on BB, gimme something..... a flavor, a spice, a better pita chip. Anyhow, we are big BB fans and CANNOT wait to come back in for the burgers! read more

Great time tonight. Food is great Blackened Tuna is a must ! Service is exceptional . David the bartender makes great margaritas! Bradley as the service bar and Expo was phenomenal. And Ashley the Manager was all over it. She was working behind the line pushing the BOH . It was a wonderful experience! Definitely a fan for life. Burger Bach I hope you take care of these guys . They were on point ! read more

They'll seat you and refuse to make eye contact with you. I sat down and waited for twenty minutes -- not a single person came to ask for my drink. That mentioned eye contact? Waiters walked by and intentionally looked away. They saw I was waiting, and any attempt at waving somebody down was in vain. People who came after me were waited first. This place may have great burgers, but it has awful, awful service. Doesn't matter how good your food is. If you can't take an order, it means nothing. read more

Service was average. Food was a disappointment. Burger patty was clearly made from frozen. Under seasoned burger with soft bun and skimpy on the toppings. Fries were not crisp. read more

Burger was great, and that's what really matters. Very juicy and an interesting selection to choose from. I wasn't thrilled with the blueberry chipotle bbq sauce on the east coast burger. Fries were okay, they could have been cooked better. Ordered the large fries to split between three people, serving was a bit small. Sauces are extra other than 1 for a small fry or 2 for a large fry. I'm sick of sauces being extra, it's a great example of why Zaxbys should go out of business and chic fil a reigns supreme. However! We had a great server who gave us a third sauce for free, so that was cool. All in all the burger was great, a bit on the expensive side and I would have ordered a different one in hindsight. Fries a bit undercooked and portion was on the small side. Definitely a good burger joint and worth checking out, however it won't be a regular stop for me. read more

My husband and I absolutely love this place. We always have an extraordinary experience, food is amazing and customer service is great. We made Burger Bach "our" celebration place. The whole stuff is great and the atmosphere of this place make us very happy. We really appreciate John's attention to detail and how kind he always is with us. My husband always talks about the best drink in CVille, the smoked old fashioned or something like that, it's not in the menu anymore but they always make it for him. I love the bacon blue fries and I tried probably all the burgers, liked all of them. My 3 favorites are Wellington, queenstown and south lamb. Just love this place and writing this review make me thing in a excuse to go there again. read more

Nice environment. Burgers are great. Draft beers are not very cold--the temp on the tap is way to high. Beer is just below room temp. Staff is always great. read more

The main reason we stopped by here is for oysters which were fantastic and so were the tuna bites! We also had the hangover burger and the original burger. Both were really good. I especially liked the Bloody Mary. Two thumbs up for Good food and great service. read more

Came back to try their burgers a couple more times and was very happy with the food! The burgers were absolutely amazing- high quality, perfectly salted and grilled beef patties. Every bite was juicy and not too greasy. The Brie cheese went really well with the burgers- definitely my favorite combo. There's a wide selection of burgers to pick from, too- beef, vegetarian, lamb, chicken, you name it! Prices are reasonable and all burgers come with a nice side salad. The fries are a must order. The large is more than enough for two or three people to split and the sauces are fantastic. Ketchup doesn't count towards one of sauces. Garlic aioli is by far my favorite! The beer selection here is probably one of my favorites in Charlottesville. There are tons of local craft beers to pick from and they also offer flights. I love the Belgian Brews- they're on the richer, sweeter side. The stouts are great, too! Service was fast- both times we finished our meal in under an hour. Will definitely come back! read more

Great spot for happy hour Monday-Friday from 3-6. Half price cans of beer. We enjoyed Founders All Day IPA for $2 a can. We appreciate the outdoor seating and folks serving outside have always been dog friendly. There are several food specials during happy hour including nachos, oysters (raw and roasted, chips and guacamole, and mussels. Outside of happy hour, the burgers are great. There is something for everyone--beef, lamb, blackened tuna, chicken, and black bean. Definitely get an order of fries and try a couple of the dipping sauces. Personal favorites include blueberry chipotle and garlic aioli. read more

I usually avoid burger specific restaurants because my wife is vegan and gluten free. But we decided to give it a shot. Turned out to be a great choice. They have gluten free buns and offer veggie and seafood burger. Several different sauces you can get with fries. Everything we had to eat, including the salad was tasty. Server was friendly and efficient. Restaurant is in a great location, and inside was very roomy and flowed well. Restrooms were clean. Absolutely will go back when we visit Charlottesville again. read more

This was my favorite burger joint when I lived in Richmond, and I was ectastic to learn that there was one in Charlottesville as well. My caveat is that I've only ordered the same thing literally every time I've been to any Burger Bach: the Queenstown pink. No other place have I found a lamb burger like this and it is my happy place - mushrooms, carmelized onions and cheese. The salad on the side makes me feel better about my eating habits in general, especially when I get a side of fries as well (get garlic aioli). Pro tips: Put the garlic aioli on any burger you get, $1 natty boh's during happy hour, and they also have a rewards program now! read more

Another good oyster happy hour spot! This place gets randomly busy, so reservations are a good idea in case you're really set on eating here at a certain time. I got the oysters and the disco fries last time I was here. The oysters were delicious but our waiter didn't remember which oysters were which and forgot to bring us utensils and water until we asked for each separately. There was also a problem with the bill being incorrect, but he was pretty apologetic and kind about it. I was excited about the fries since they were a happy hour deal and are basically Bach's version of poutine, but the gravy was liquidy and salty without depth and I'm not sure what the cheese tasted like since it melted right into the sauce and felt bland and chewy. The fries were soaked and soggy beneath it. On the plus side, the serving was huge! Way too much for just two people. I haven't had the burgers here yet but hope to try soon! read more

Burger Bach - Wad of bacon - Burgers Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Updated Review: It's been about three years since my last review of Burger Bach, and unfortunately, it feels as if the quality has gone down since that time. The staff is very nice (good from that standpoint); however, the food left us wanting more. My husband and I got large fries (with two sauces - garlic aioli is still a winner), the Hangover Cure burger, and a salad. The salad tasted bland and not reminiscent of what we had previously experienced, and the burger was average and overcooked. For the prices you pay for the meal, it feels overpriced for what you get. read more

Eh... I'll start with the good: Gluten-free items marked. Thank you! And for all those searching, yes, they have gluten free buns. Bean Burger was DELISH AND gf. Bonus thank you. The quality of my hub's lamb burger was quite good. Baller beer menu. (I can't but hubs was impressed.) Location. The number of different burger combos is impressive. The not so great: We waited forever for our food for no good reason. It was a late afternoon and it wasn't even that busy. They didn't seem understaffed. It was baffling. The oven was broken "for about a week or so" and we couldn't order anything that needed to be baked. Um. If my oven was broken for a week I'd be losing my mind and it's not an integral part of my livelihood. French fries were kinda lukewarm and mealy. With about 300 different burger places in Cville, I hope they pick up their game. :( read more

I stopped in with 45 minutes until an appointment. I told the host and he assured me I would make it. I ordered my burger and fries. They were on the table in 7 minutes. The food was great and the service was fast and efficient. I made my appointment and will return when I'm in Charlottesville. I highly recommend it. read more

Had yet another excellent meal at Burger Bach this evening. Great service, friendly staff, and an all-around happy place to be with solid happy hour specials including a good deal on their fabulous Rockefeller Oysters. We've tired every version of baked oysters and oysters rockefeller in Charlottesville and Walter at Burger Bach makes the very best around! Guac is also tasty and though I haven't tried a burger or fries yet, they look good, too. Only potential downside is no dessert on the menu, but I leave full enough that's never been an issue. (And, there's an ice cream/frozen yogurt place next door if you really need a sweet.) read more

Maybe the best burger I have ever had! I've been to a lot of burger bars (including Citizen Burger), but none compare to Burger Bach. Their gluten-free accommodations were fantastic as was the gf bun- would highly recommend for any celiacs or gf diners! My non gluten-free boyfriend also loved his burger. They have a great variety on their menu and can appeal to both adventurous diners or those just looking for a damn good burger. You can definitely tell the difference in quality. Plus, any place I can add brie to my burger is going on my favorites list. Had a pretty solid margarita to top it off! COVID precautions are great and they have a nice, spacious, and covered patio, which is essential in the summer! Would definitely return! read more

Wouldn't know how the food was being that I waited 10 mins for somebody to sit us down(only after we asked a server if we were to supposed to seat ourselves) and another 10 minutes sitting at our dirty table before we decided to leave. Not one server came to our table to even ask if we wanted something to drink. Even the table beside us noticed how long we were waiting. read more

This place is sooooo good! The burger is first-rate and is complimented by the most amazing bun! It takes up your burger-enjoyment up to a whole new level. The burger comes with a small side salad, which is nice, perfectly sized and fresh. You must order the side order of fries!! They are that good!! There is a selection of sauces to order (also on the side...) and they are good!! My whole group enjoyed the novelty of the different flavors. Also worth noting- if your friends are foodies-give this place a try- the menu also has lamb burgers and bison burgers.. I was ecstatic with the ordinary cheeseburger but people I was with really loved the lamb burger-and the bison burger too! I almost forgot to mention, they have a nice beer selection too!! read more
