    A very decent burger joint on famous 12th South in Nashville. It's a casual family friendly burger place and I believe they make some of their sauce which makes the taste pretty unique. Service was great and price was on point.

    Alexa play "This is what dreams are made of" by Hillary Duff. The food. The happy hour. The cocktails. Everything was SO incredible. Thomas was our server and he had incredible recommendations for us. The pimento cheeseburger was insane, and the fry flight was so worth splitting for the table. Came with a ton of sauces. The vibe was everything on the patio! Will 10000% be regulars after this!!!

    Great place to sit and chat with friends. They have outside seating. The service was excellent our server was very attentive. The mushroom swiss burger was so filling and cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend this place is your in the mood for a burger.

    I've been to Burger Up a few times now over the years, and I feel pretty consistently about their food. It's me. You pay a lot for some really good items and others make you scratch your head. For example, I've had some really awesome soup and burgers from here. Then, the one time I decided to order a salad, it was an entire of what felt like a package of arugula and zero content for beets and pistachios. I asked for more substance, and the server was more than kind to get me more. However, for a $17 salad (my cousin bought us lunch), why was there none of this in there to begin with? The salad menu item touted being a winter salad, but I guess it was a mistake from the kitchen. Understanding this is 12South, pricing is a lot steeper than I'd care to pay for certain items. What is worth their costly mark up? Their sweet potato fries. Don't skip out on these. They're hands down delicious and worth every single penny paid. Being a burger place, don't be like me a get a salad. Just get the damn burger. That's the whole point of it being called "Burger Up", right? Right!!!

    Burger Up used to be so good!!! But my visit with a friend this week has completely tainted my fond memories from years past. A friend and I went to Burger Up for lunch this past week and we split the fry flight, Woodstock Burger and a Cesar salad. The fry flight was the only redeemable thing about our meal unfortunately. The burger bun was soggy and the patty was so dry we ended up both taking the patty off and eating it with a fork. The Cesar salad was also so bad? How do you mess up a Cesar salad?? It's insanely expensive considering you get no protein and barely any cheese. The sun dried tomatoes are gross and something is off with whatever dressing they are using. It's supposed to come with bacon but we found quite literally two tiny specs of it in the entire salad. It was pretty clear that we did not have a great meal because we barely ate anything but the server seems like she didn't wanna ask and we definitely didn't wanna be Karen's.

    Ordered the French Onion Burger. It did not disappoint. Cooked medium. Onions, Brie, truffle oil. With Sweet potato fries. Hit the spot! Parking was a bit of a challenge. Service was impeccable. I would return and recommend.

    Ambiance was excellent as was the service. Waiter was spot on. I had the Woodstock burger medium which was well done and a little salty. But it tasted very good. The iced tea was excellent. I would go back.

    I was a little skeptical of this at first. There was no smell of food outside. Place looked kind of plain inside. Took a chance on the burger and soup to be safe. It was love at first bite. Food was bursting in flavor. Price is good. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

    Woodstock Burger
    Pete K.

    A+ for this place. Servers were attentive, efficient and generally awesome. Was seated on a busy night no problems. Definitely barroom atmosphere- lots of mahogany but enough tables for family/ friends vibes. The burger was super good. Fries the same. Salt and flavor content and profiles just aligned. Ate every bite. Highly recommend.

    There's a bite taken out of it!! Disgusting! Woodstock Burger

    I'm absolutely appalled by what was delivered. This is, without a doubt, the most unappetizing burger I've ever seen. It arrived with a bite already taken out of the patty, the bun was completely soggy, the cheese was missing. This was supposed to be the Woodstock, but it's unrecognizable. I'm shocked that Burger Up would consider this remotely acceptable to serve, let alone deliver.

    Overpriced, not a good experience. I wouldn't consider price for value to be very good, and it's just a giant rip off.

    The Finch is everything you could want in an upscale restaurant: great atmosphere, great food,…read moregreat service! We had a larger (10) group celebrating two birthdays and the staff handled things without breaking a sweat. We arrived a few minutes late for our reservation but it was no bother as our table was still being prepared. On that note: highly recommend a reservation, this is a popular place! Once we were seated we had the pleasure of Nichelle, a wonderful waitress. She was on top of everything we needed or wanted and we had very little wait time for her return. Great service! And the food... DELICIOUS! As you can imagine, our group of ten had a good selection across the menu and there was not a single person who was disappointed. Everyone loved their amazing food. What tops everything off is the atmosphere here. It's popular so, as you can imagine, it's a bit noisy. However, I like to call it "lively". And they really nailed the physical design, so inviting and upscale. I'll stop there and simply say: check this place out, it's great!

    So many great things about The Finch. My server, Savanna, was EXCEPTIONAL, like AMAZING. She was…read morebright, helpful, and attentive to the max, but not in an annoying way. She even went out of her way to get me a drink that had fallen off the menu a few weeks prior, a delightful cucumber spritz. The ambiance is awesome. As others have said, music isn't too loud, just pleasant in the background, so it would be ideal for having a conversation. The space is open, bright, light-filled, and stylish. Parking is in a private lot behind the restaurant and they validate parking for up to two and a half hours. I wish I could rave the same way about the food. While the cocktails were refreshing and they had a cocktail for every palate, my steak and eggs was bland. It came out a little closer to rare than medium, but I can live with that. But I am not sure I detected a speck of salt or pepper. The steak was at least tender and the sunny side up eggs were cooked appropriately. The potatoes were dry. And I did have the wagyu meatball appetizer. It's a large portion, so easily shared amongst two or three people. Cheesy and saucy with a little spice. The focaccia could've been toasted a little more. I considered the short rib hash, but my server told me it could be salty and hit or miss (I appreciate her honesty and she 100 percent should be praised for it). I came during brunch (even on a weekday). They also serve French toast, desserts, oysters, burrata, potstickers and tuna tartare, salads, burgers and other sandwiches. If you come for lunch or dinner, you can also get grilled salmon, blackened redfish, shrimp and grits, pastas (cajun chicken, pappardelle bolognese, tortellini) as well as various cuts of steak. It's conveniently located right across from the Frist Museum and is part of the Union Station Hotel. I would try this place again for dinner, but would skip the brunch. And again, Savanna was top tier! She deserves all the flowers!
