Meh!!! I was underwhelmed with the whole experience. The veggie burger I had was overcooked, the tomato was white with the hard center still in from the vine, french fries were good, sauces ok, iced tea bottled, all for $21+ for one person. Service was average at best. Sorry, I won't be back. read more

My friends and I went here last week for lunch, which was really good. We all liked our burgers and had a really good time. We came back tonight for trivia night (shout out to the guy running trivia he was amazing) and had a lot of fun doing trivia. That was the end of the positives. I have never felt the need to write a bad review, and I'm so bummed that this had to be my first time. I'm not sure if our waitress Staley was just having a bad day or something but I do not want to ever be served by her. We were seated after 10 minutes (the restaurant was pretty dead and half the time she was kinda just standing off to the side) which would not have been a problem if that was the only thing. But it was the first of a lot. She was just rude and curt the entire time and took around 30 minutes just to get us water, and another 20 to get our friend's beers. If it was busy I would completely understand. There were about 3 tables in our section throughout the entire night. Multiple times we would all make eye contact and she'd just turn away. My roommate and I ordered fries. She asked if we were going to get burgers or anything else and when I said I wasn't she frowned and walked to my friend to ask her. We watched our fries sit underneath the lamps for about 30-40 minutes. We clocked us sitting an hour after ordering with no fries at all and at that point, I didn't even want it anymore and gave up on keeping time. When it came they were limp and a bit soggy, and the bartender (amazing guy, no hate to him at all) ended up having to bring us our food. The entire time she was either sitting with her friends at another table or doing side work. We noticed other tables specifically from her receiving the same service. Another waitress was on top of everything, serving, bussing, and making sure her tables were taken care of. I've never once in my life left no tip and it sucks that this was my first time. The other day we went the food was great, service was a tiny bit slow but it was busy so I completely understand. This was not the situation at all and so disappointing. Won trivia though. read more

We've come here so many times and, despite one time where we really had the most unfit, worst server I've ever had in my life, we'll be back many more. The Bach gives me absolutely no reason to ever have a burger anywhere else. Fries and dipping sauces are the best around. Oysters and beer selection are always good. This location has the best happy hour and is separate from the other spots. A definite favorite. read more

We were very hopeful for this place. As we enter the server was welcoming. Sat us right away and got us water. The food looks good in pictures but the meat was very dry and the bun was soggy. It was horrible. The water was the best. As you can see In receipt, I was charged for American cheese and onions. Burgers comes with cheese automatically. Do yourself favor and go to McDonald's next door. Much better taste. It was instant regret from the first bite. read more

The Food is always great! The service, less to be desired :( we go there quite a bit, but I'm done. Consistently over a hour to wait for food & typically get our drinks after 30 minutes. To pay $85 for a burger and fries for a family a 3???? No more. The other locations are much better.... If you have to pay that much, at least go to a place where the service matches. read more

Best Burgers in town? Possibly! Best New Zealand food Ever? YES! What is not to like about this newly popped sensation in Carytown. This burger bistro will tantalize your taste buds with their flavors that will appease even the pickiest of burger aficionado's. Let's start with the basics: Service was 100% on par. Not only was the staff friendly, the bartender was kind enough to give us menus to have a drink while we waited (the anticipated 30 mins for friday night dinner rush). Not only did we have stellar drinks, but we found a perfect spot at the bar - no longer waiting for a table. And, this place is packed for a good reason. Families, groups, and all kinds of local folks were here to try some of this amazing food. First on the menu was the appetizer of mussels - Mediterranean style - which completely set the mood for the best meal i have had in Carytown in way too long. They were fresh and each bite had so much flavor. I have had mussels, but these were top notch! Onto the burger....well, for someone who does not usually finish their meal, every bite was gone by the end. Let me tell you the story about the best burger I have ever eaten. The East Coast: fresh hamburger patty, the BEST blueberry chipolte bbq sauce (yes, you read that right folks BLUEBERRY!!) topped with uncured BACON!!!!, carmelized onions, and garlic aioli. Man, oh, man! Wow. The explosion of flavor in that first bite was so good that I only let my partner in crime in this adventure of flavor have ONE bite- I did not even want to share that bite! WOW! Just wow. To make this ever tasty burger have at least some sort of "healthy" option, it automatically comes with a fresh green mini-salad. Of course no burger is quite complete without a side of fries - and we choose the tzatziki dipping sauce - which was a complete waste since the fries were so good on their own! Friends, fellow yelpers, RVA newbies, RUN do not walk, i repeat do not walk...to get the best burger in town. Please! I beg of you. Try a bite and it will change your entire view on the modern american staple. read more

Giving this 4.5 stars. By far some of the best fries I've had in years!! The dipping sauces...I wanted to bathe in them. Yes...that's how great they were. We had the garlic aioli & the jalapeño remoulade. For dinner I had a veggie burger and it was impressive a hearty sized patty with a nice warm whole grain bun. My fiancé had the Original, it looked so good that I HAD to take a bite of that grass fed beef & uncured bacon. It was worth every second! I had a MOA ale, I just know it was so damn good. The ABV was 9.5 and it was worth the $10.00 :) Great dinner & beers! Te place itself was loud because it was a Saturday night...and that was just fine! read more

I just discovered Burger Bach's seafood happy hour. 1/2 off all seafood! You can't beat $10 for a dozen raw oysters. I was a bit disappointed with how they were served though. The ice was half melted when the tray came out, so 10 mins in it was all water and water seeped into the remaining oysters. Additionally, the oysters weren't very clean. There was algae and debris on the shells of many of the oysters which was a bit off-putting. I'm hoping it was just a one time thing, and I'd be willing to give it another try since the price is great and the oysters themselves were tasty. I also had the Forestiere and Rockefeller baked oysters. These taste exactly as described in the description. Lots of cheese and flavor. I personally prefer raw oysters over baked, but if you like baked oysters these may be for you! The burgers are pretty good too. Just a bit pricey, but you do get grass-fed New Zealand beef and lamb. According to my Muslim friends, burgers here are halal! The outdoor seating here is nice (and dog friendly!) but it's right in front of a busy street and gets loud at times. The waitress was great and brought out a bowl of water for our dog right when we got seated. read more

Burger Bach - Two dozen oysters during happy hour - Burgers Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I eat a lot of burgers, probably about once/twice a week. With that said, Burger Bach has the BEST burger in Richmond. I'm shocked I haven't posted a review earlier because they are amazinggg Yes they have other things on the menu, but why go to a burger restaurant and not get a burger? So let's get down to business! Some of my favorites include: The hangover: -I am a sucker for anything topped with a fried egg and runny yolk...but the hangover takes it to the next level with bacon too. The mexican green chile sauce isn't too spicy for those who don't like heat. Actually, I usually add some cholula (hot sauce) to my burger for a little more burn. The East Coast: -This burger had me at brie, but combined with the blueberry chipotle, I was in burger heaven. The brie is super creamy with some grassy notes and the sweet blueberry chipotle jam cuts the richness from the cheese. This burger has bacon too so bonus points there. The Aucklander: -I've never had NZ Egmont cheese until burger bach but oh man I want more. It melted so nicely on the burger and taste kind of like cheddar, but better. There is also guac and yes, BACON once more. Unlike other burger restaurants in Richmond, burger bach doesn't come with fries. If you do decide to order some, the sauces I would recommend are basil pesto aioli, honey mustard, blueberry chipotle and cilantro sauce. read more

Yessssss to their vegetarian burger! So amazing! So many delicious burger options. My go-to is their Basic Deluxe with a vegetarian patty. It really tastes like an actual meat burger. The first time I got it I thought they had brought me the wrong thing. I like it better than the Impossible Burger that other restaurants offer. This is definitely my spot when it comes to a good veggie burger. The fries have the perfect crunch and are delicious. What keeps me from leaving 5 stars: The sauces. They have a large sauce collection but all the ones I've tried aren't very good. They don't have much flavor to them and this includes the ketchup as it is organic. I found the honey mustard, onion and original all to be incredibly bland and flavorless. Also, sodas come in a bottom which means no free refills. read more

Granted I had a mildly customized burger, but while the outcome was passable, I wouldn't spend this kind of money on a burger in RVA when I know my buck could get much further with plainly better tasting food at a handful of other places here. I ended up ordering the Wellington on a lettuce bun, substituting the side salad for broc and beer cheese. The burger itself tasted good, but whereas we were offered to pick sides as substitutions for the mixed greens, when I asked for the broccoli and beer cheese, they brought it in addition to the greens, charged for the entire side instead of substituting and charging an upcharge, and capped it off by saying that this was how substitutions are done. ...what? On top of that, all the viscous saucy burger toppings like the blue cheese came on the side of the burger in cups, whereas the broccoli was submerged and stewed in the beer cheese. Usually it's the inverse: the sauces that can hold their place on a burger come on the burger, whereas the beer cheese comes on the side for dipping. I can't fault them for making the burger toppings user-selectable, but soaking the broccoli in beer cheese made the broccoli too rich. And the beer cheese itself lacked the flavor necessary to distract me from the richness, so much of the broccoli went to waste in the end :( Three stars for food, down a point for price and a point for quality. Service was as expected. Not worse or better than what I'd count on at a sit-down burger joint. I may come back after a few months. Apparently different locations are operated differently, whether because of franchising or something else. So I'll see if any of their other locations have ironed any of this out before I come back to this one. read more

3.5 stars (knocked down because of the pricing & the fact that the burger was good but didn't blow me away) I really like the atmosphere of this place. It's brand new and has a fancier chipotle type feel to it. I came here with my sister for dinner and when we arrived the wait was ridiculous... we were actually considering leaving and finding a different place to eat. There were at least 15 people outside waiting to be seated and a wait for two would have been 30-40 minutes. Luckily, we spotted two people that were getting up from their bar seats and we asked the hostess if we could do that, and with encouragement and excitement for us that we might not have to wait so long, she said "yes hurry!" so we dashed for it and got it! *WHEW* that saved us so much trouble. Once we sat down we were greeted by both of the bartenders. They were both attentive of us, although busy doing their own thing and servin up drinks like pros. One of the bartenders introduced her self and said she'd be taking care of us for night and was very patient, entertaining, humorous and friendly. She even gave us recommendations since we were so indecisive! We ended up ordering the Wellington, West Coast, and fries to share. The large sized fries came with two options for dipping sauces and the burgers are only made well or medium-well. The burgers we ordered did not come with veggies inside, but instead a side salad with a oil/vinegar like dressing. Wellington (my sister's burger) $11: described as NZ blue cheese, HP sauce, sautéed mushrooms and caramelized onions, brown sauce, & garlic aoili. It was really different but in a pleasantly delicious way. The blue cheese was very prominent in the flavor, and so was the brown sauce. The flavors melded together in your mouth perfectly to give you a hearty tasting burger. West Coast (my burger) $11: This burger was great. I love spicy food so the bartender recommended this to me. I didn't think it was actually spicy at all, but instead had a nice kick. It is described as containing roasted jalapeño remoulade, organic nZ cheddar, caramelized onions, chipotle bbq sauce, and uncured bacon. The jalapeño sauce, bacon and bbq sauce is what really made this delicious to me. I would probably order this again. Fries $5: The large fries came with 2 dipping sauces so we ordered the manuka honey mustard sauce and garlic aioli. The sauces seemed as though were mayo-based with some added flavorings. I thought that the two sauces tasted pretty similar, with just a bit of a difference because the honey mustard was a tad on the sweeter side and garlic aioli had a litte more of a prominent taste with its garlic flavor. The fries were pretty standard crunchy hand-cut fries. We finished most of the fries because the sauces were so delicious. Ginger Beer $6: the ginger beer was delicious! It was my first time trying crabbies, so If I ever come across it again, I will be sure to order it. At 5.5% it doesn't seem like much, but it will catch up to you because it comes in such a huge bottle. It also tastes excellent with a slice of lime. I definitely recommend it. I would probably come back here to try another burger, and this says a lot because I usually avoid burgers due to their high fat content. However with Burger Bach... I'm willing to just let that all go. Although I do wish that they made their burgers medium or medium rare and more affordable! read more

The burger I ordered here was very rich, called the Wellington. "NZ blue cheese, HP sauce, sautéed mushrooms and caramelized onions, brown sauce, garlic aioli" is what the menu describes it as. Sounded delicious to me; and it was! Moderate-size burger, but filling because of the brown sauce and well-prepared beef patty. Everything melded together well. My sister ordered the West Coast which consisted of jalapeños (she loves spice), cheddar, chipotle BBQ sauce, and bacon. However, I was not a huge fan of it. After having a bite of my own burger, the West Coast just seemed like it needed a little oomph of spice and flavor. So first-timers, I suggest the Wellington. A good model of the well-made burgers at Burger Bach, and full of flavor. You won't be disappointed! Also, if you have a few bucks to spare try the fries. A bit on the pricey side, but I assume it's because of the sauces that come with the order. Excellent sauces, though! Overall, try a bit of everything. This is a solid burger place. read more

If you're looking for a great place for burgers in the Richmond area, this is the place! They serve a delicious variety of burgers and seafood. Their burger selection is very unique and customizable. They serves various types of burgers such as beef, lamb, chicken, and vegetarian. You can also select your type of bread such as gluten free, lettuce, etc. The meal comes with the burger of you choosing with a small side salad (it's very simple, nothing too special). I was not very fond of the fact that they charge you for every substitution you make. I ordered the Asian Thai Chick burger. I fell in love after first bite; It was so good! Fries are not included in the entree, they are ordered separately. They are a little pricey but they are AMAZING! It was worth it! I ordered the pesto aioli and blueberry BBQ sauces to accompany the fries. Overall I really loved the food here. Everything was fresh and satisfying! read more

The burgers here were alright - definitely unique but I don't know if I would return. The service was pretty awful. Granted, I felt pretty bad for our waitress by the end of the evening, but she had forgotten our order (only to tell us 20 minutes later that she needed it again since she "lost" it), she spilled our drink, recommended an IPA to me when I said I don't like hoppy beers.. and, well I just feel bad continuing the list. Needless to say, it experience wasn't good, and the food wasn't great enough to make up for it. read more

A finished bowl of steamed mussels. Forgot to take the pic before eating. But the food here was delicious! The steamed mussels were amazing and the burger was delicious as well. Food-wise: this place is 5 stars. The downside of my experience was that no napkins were provided, the burger didn't come with fries, and they only give you a couple very small pieces of bread for the mussels unless you order more. read more

If you specialize in burgers, the expected would be an amazing burger, but that is not what we received. While the food was OK, the burgers were not up to the name and the hype. The french fries on the other hand - were phenomenal. Along with the fires, the homemade sauces are also worth it! This place also nickel and dimes you for every little thing - even for substitutions of foods/items, which is a bit crazy I think. If I am in Richmond again, I will definitely give something else a try. read more

The burgers are amazing, but you definitely pay a premium. I don't know much about the atmosphere, as it was so crowded inside that it was standing-room only, so I sat outside instead. The fries are killer, and they have umpteen different amazing sauces/dips for their fries that you almost forget about your gourmet burger... but not quite. I wish I could afford to eat here more, but its a wonderful "special treat" and I hope to return soon. read more

This place shares a parking lot with Ellwood Thompson's so sometimes parking is a pain. I got lucky for lunch and found a spot right up front. The place is pretty small but they have plenty of seating. The have a bar, various tables, and a long table down the middle of the restaurant. During lunch, it's seat yourself and I sat at the bar. I ordered an iced tea but they didn't have that. They only had a bottled organic green tea. For the burger, I ordered the Aucklander. It is made from beef and has guacamole, free-range mayo, uncured bacon, mixed greens, NZ Egmont cheese, tomato, and dijonnaise. The burger came with a mixed green salad and they do no sub fries. You can also order your burger pink or no pink. The burger was yummy but it fell apart pretty quickly. There was just too much grease and it soaked through the bottom of the bun. I think they should reconsider the side option (well there isn't any) but the mixed green salad wasn't good at all and I left most of it on the plate. Also this place was very pricey at $13 for that burger. I would prob come again. I like the atmosphere and the bartender/waiter was very nice. But it would def only be once in a while for the price point. read more

HORRIBLE. We arrived around 2:40pm and all the nice patio seating was dirty and needed to be flipped and cleaned. Napkins all over the ground, boxes plates everywhere. We asked to be moved to a different table which was accommodated. My niece ordered water and received a classic cup of tap water with a side a plastic in the glass. When first received it was hidden in the ice. After stirring it around its clearly visible. Hard plastic! When the waitress returned I informed her of the floating object and that we'd be leaving. She apologized and brought the check for the other 2 sodas ordered. She never left a straw for my guest to drink. Politely declined the check and asked for the manager. I waited in the hostess area for about 4/5 min and just decided to leave. read more

My brother was in town for the weekend and we needed a new place to go. After a long day of hiking and brewery hopping we were ready for a hearty meal and that is exactly what we got at Burger Bach. We were seated right away at an outside table. The deck was really nice, but it took a little time for our drink order to be taken and then to have the drinks delivered. Then it took a while for our server to come back and take our meal order. I would recommend starting with any french fries with any dipping sauce. We got the NZ Triple Cream Blue Cheese, Bacon and Garlic Aioli, we licked the plate. The burgers were delicious too! I got the Original, I finished the whole thing! I would recommend going to Burger Bach, but the service was a little slow. I will definitely give it another shot though! read more

I'll say, I am a big fan of Carytown Burgers & Fries so it took a while to try this place. It was suggested as a meeting place this past Thursday. Considering how long they have been open, I was surprised with all of the issues they were having. I would assume with such a focused limited menu, such as Five Guys, that everything would be good. It's basically fries, burgers, and some seafood. My mom had been after opening the new Carytown location and her well done burger was black and burnt to a crisp; they said sometimes the chefs get carried away. Our server was in training, so I will not hold too much against her as it was out of her control. They were out of ingredients for several drinks. Someone asked for a Mai Thai and the server training our server looked it up on his phone and didn't think they could make it. Someone wanted a beer but they were out of the cider and some other beers and only had a select list without any of the usual brands. The table next to us got their burger right before our food finally came and didn't even have a patty on their burger. One of my party members didn't get their shrimp on their salad; it had some odd seasoning or dressing when they brought it out. Another party member ordered the oysters on the half shell and a side of fries. When they brought them out, the server said she didn't realize it was served with fries. They were brought on top it hot fries so she paid for fries for no reason. I got the black bean burger which tasted very meaty (I don't like my non-meat products to taste meaty but that is a personal preference), however, it was not seasoned at all and bland, and the sauce didn't have much taste. I think all of the sauces have the same base and taste similar. I don't know how the burgers taste other than what I've heard. Pros: Nice patio (dog-friendly). There are about a dozen parking spaces if you get lucky. Fries were fine, crunchy. Cons: Lack of ingredients and drink/food variety, service, kitchen issues. Impression: Drinks on the patio would be nice if they have the ingredients on hand. Go across the street to Carytown Burger & Fries. Burgers may be okay. read more

Ambiance is nice. Service is good. LOVE LOVE LOVE the communal table. Fries- just ok. They were soggy and a bit cold. I wish the sauces weren't so pricy. Burger- Hangover Cure. The bread was good... Wasn't toasted all the way so you tasted the "dry" part of the bread. The meat was good. The fried egg was cooked all the way through so there was so yolk. Not sure if it was meant to be like that. Overall- it was good. I would go back but definitely not the BEST burger ever. I think Holstein's or Burgr or Bachi Burger or Guy Fieri's is better in terms of "gourmet" burgers. read more

I don't know how to describe this burgers other than saying they are the best burgers I've ever eaten. They use special meet they import from New Zealand, I think, but it's absolutely perfect for burgers. They are cook to perfection and they are juice and full of flavor. They serve it in many combinations with different dressings and add ons but they are all great, order any of them and you can't go wrong. The fries are also incredibly, who knew you can do this with fries. Try the different sauces and you'll fall in love. read more

The burgers were so good! My boyfriend and I sat outside on a nice day and it was so nice. We both got the hangover burgers and shared fries! The garlic aioli is our fave dipping sauce. Only gave it 4 stars because the service was a little off but they were understaffed at the moment. read more

We stopped there for lunch yesterday (Sunday). There were only a few tables with customers. Our food took more than 30 min to come out - it was a chicken burger and salad. I ate one corner of the salad and when I got a bite of the Feta cheese, it was obvious, the cheese was going off. It had a sour taste and noxious smell. The server did not come back to check on us and my husband had to go to the bar to get her attention. She seemed really pissed and took the salad back to the kitchen. Much later, the "manager" came out and told us that she just opened that block of Feta and I suggested she smell it. . . I was offered another salad, but said no thank you. Then more than 15 min later, the server came back and said she had to had approval to remove it from the check. I told her I more than happy to pay for the portion I consumed (seroiusly) . .. ANOTHER 10 MIN LATER, she came back and had it removed from the bill - the food was crap, the place was FILTHY, the bathroom doors were STICKY, so were the tables . . .and very cheaply done - don't bother . . .there are so many other choices in Carytown. read more

I'm between 3 & 4 stars on this one. 4 stars for how health conscious they were, 3 for cost, and failed expectations on flavor. (More like burger blech, see what I did there? Yeah, sometimes I can be clever. ) Nothing to be in awe of ( unlike the daily). Good avocado dip, creamy not super fresh feeling on the palate. I left with half my burger still needing to be eaten, I wasn't impressed and hoped I'd find it appetizing later. I feel like this burger joint is more concerned with appearing Cosmopolitan than they are with much else. I expected a cheap, fast, fantastic burger bar and got left with a hauty atmosphere and 4.00 per cup of coffee, no refills, and no substitutions joint. I think this is the last time burger bach will be getting into my not so deep that i can afford Cosmopolitan Burger Bach pockets. read more

This place makes some damn delicious burgers, and boy are there options to customize it if you're creative. I've been there twice, and I can't even tell you what I've had because I let my awesome server Adam help me decide both times. My burger was slightly "overcooked" the last time I went, and my friends encouraged me to send it back. Normally I would, but the Burger Bach burgers are THAT GOOD that I didn't even care and just wanted to jump right into their burger. I guess I should clarify that I ordered mine with pink and it came without, but was far from overcooked to not being edible... just more well done than I prefer. read more

I have dined all over the world and this is the worst experience that i have ever had. We sat down at 7 and ordered shortly thereafter. Service at first was ok but then was slow and mildly rude. We sat around for an hour, hour and a half and nothing...tables of a similar size that were sat after us came and went...nothing. Finally, slightly before 9pm we decide to leave and our food (which looked old, overcooked and not appealing) was comped after discussions with the exasperated owner. I shouldn't have to tell an owner how run his business but if you can't support X amount of customers then don't seat X amount of customers. Would not recommend or go back to this establishment. read more

Really excellent burgers (I had the one with the jalapeno sauce) and enjoyed by all. Fries were good, but a bit pricey for the amount. Even though I read the reviews, I was still surprised to be charged for ketchup. It didn't seem all that special either. The garlic sauce was really good. My friend and I enjoyed putting different sauces on our salads. Also the cokes were in bottles which were not very filling. I didn't mind the communal table, but not super wild about the high chairs. We went on a Thursday around 6pm and there was a wait. So, I really enjoyed the taste of the food, but it is a bit pricey and crowded for a burger joint. read more

Came here with my family this past weekend and had some amazing burgers! We started with the Caribbean Shrimp and the New Zealand Oysters. The oysters were good (although I'm not a big fan of oysters). It came with a hot sauce of some kind but the hot sauce had no salt which I found weird. The shrimp was good too but the shrimp was labeled as "sauteed shrimp" and it came in a broth...didn't really seem sauteed. And the broth seemed to have a very strong wine taste to it...which was not mentioned on the menu. At least we happened to be there during happy hour (4 - 6 p.m. everyday) so we got them at half price. We had much better luck with the burgers. I got the Original which I INHALED and it was SO good. The sauce they put on it is like a thousand island sauce and it goes SO well with the burger. My husband and sister both ordered the Hangover Cure which after trying, I wish I had ordered (fried egg, bacon and other toppings). My mom got the Basics burger which was good (your basic burger). And my dad and brother-in-law got the West Coaster which I didn't try, but they both really enjoyed (had a jalapeno remoulade on it). The fries were amazing, wish we had ordered more. The only downside was that the mayo based dipping sauces have just TOO much mayo...they need some more flavor. All in all we had a great time and we'll be back for sure! read more

Found my new favorite burger joint! This place is located right at the beginning of Carytown and is a great introduction into the rest of the shopping district. There's both inside and outside seating available. This IS a sit down restaurant.. which i didn't really expect but i guess since the specialty burgers are "gourmet" if you will. I got the Hangover Cure Burger: fried egg, 1/4lb beef patty, american cheese, bacon, onions, tomato, and mexican chili sauce. The burger was definitely smaller than you averaged size burger, and for 12 bucks, i was expecting something a little bigger. Presentation was really simple and elegant. Ordered my patty medium rare and i got medium.. wasn't a big deal as the burger was still juicy and very flavorful though. The meat definitely tasted a little different from other angus burgers I've had but can't really put my finger on it. The Idaho potato fries were really really good! Tasted like real/fresh cut potatoes, had a nice crisp too them and were seasoned nicely. The accompanying tarragon dipping sauce definitely hit the spot! Light, creamy, and tasty. I also got a limeade which came in a really tall/slim glass... visually looks nice but i rather have a full glass! lol. For 15 bucks, it was definitely on the pricier side.. but the food was really good! And our server was very attentive and new the menu well. Go Sean! read more

I really enjoyed my meal at Burger Bach but I'm not sure I'd be back. The pricing is just through the roof compared to many other gourmet/specialty burger spots I've been to. I'm not going to fault them too much on price because that's your choice if you're willing to pay that, but for me, it's not justifiable. I wanted to check out the Carytown area while I was visiting for the Brandon Flowers concert at the National. Based on the reviews I chose this place for a late lunch. It was post lunch rush so there was no wait and the service was very efficient. I had the Wellington Burger and it was excellent. Often times, burgers are ruined by having too many wet topping and the bun can't handle it, but this wasn't the case. They did a phenomenal job on the burger. Sandwiches all come with a side salad whether you want a salad or not. It was just a pile of lightly dressed lettuce and I wasn't a fan. It's not really a side item so you're paying $12 for a burger and then still need a side a-la-cart. We shared an order of fries with roasted onion dip sauce. The fries were great and I did enjoy the sauce. For beers, they had a unique selection and seemed to have a focus on some seasonal watermelon brews. We both tried one and they were very refreshing. The bad part was when the bill came. We each had one beer, our own burgers, and shared a side of fries. After tax and tip it came out to $58. I'm not okay with paying almost sixty bucks for that and still leaving hungry. You decide for yourself. Great quality and taste but a burger, fries, and a beer should never be more that $20 a head... that's just ridiculous. read more

Something you should know about me is that I am a sucker for outdoor seating. I am like a moth to a flame when I see twinkling bulb lights draped along a pergola over a cozy wooden bench seating. So regardless of how the food was going to be, it was always on my bucket list to dine at Burger Bach one day but I am happy to report the food is pretty good as well! The first time I went I had a Black Bean Burger and y'all, they did the BBB right. I've had a lot of BBBs at various places around Richmond and while they had flavor they always lacked in structure. I hate it when my BBB is crumbling apart as I pick it up. Burger Bach actually had a solid BBB patty I was truly impressed. I will say, I will say, I will say, I will SAY...when we ordered a side of fries (which did not come with your burger just FYI) a lot of them were the burnt, oily, crunchy kind that you find at the bottom of the fryer. They just didn't look fresh. Now I know that some people really enjoy their fries like that, I am the kind of person that does not. I like my fries fresh and soft. Also their sodas come in a bottle and were like $3. NEEDLESS TO SAY, very cute atmosphere and very cute first date vibes and very cute PERGOLA~ read more

As a vegetarian I was excited when I saw two burgers on the menu one vegan and one vegetarian. To my surprise when I got the vegetarian burger the consistency was not what I expected it was different it felt very meat like and did not taste all that appealing to me. I got another starter which had caramelized onions with fries which was amazing I highly recommend getting that. If you are a vegetarian looking for a bean or a tofu tasting burger that you had at other places I suggest you go somewhere else because that is not what you will get here. read more

Had a great little lunch here while passing through. Good vegetarian options, and the side salads had a great house dressing. Sitting outside on a nice spring day with their spacious patio for distancing was just the cherry on top. I'd go back. read more

This place was great! Tip: They offer half off seafood items until 6 on Saturday! Yeah :) What a great concept and great tasting burgers. Meat from New Zealand that is grass fed! You can get beef or lamb. All the food was delicious and perfect! The service was quite exceptional, our waiter was anxiously awaiting my review of the burger which shows they are very food proud! I like that! Burger Bach, come to DC so I don't have to travel so far for your yumminess! We had the mussels, spicy shrimp and I had an original burger that was sooooo good! On my quest to find the best burger in the US this one definitely tops the list. As other reviewers state, they are simply so tasty. I expect to see this place in the next foodie write up on CNN! I highly recommend a try and get there early as the place is quite small and offers limited inside seating. We went around 3 and didn't have trouble getting a seat. We left and the line was out the door. read more
