    I am so sad that we are losing Burger Up! The wait for a table was almost 2 hours, but it was worth it to dine here before they closed. You could really tell that all the employees really love their job and their co-workers, it was such a welcoming environment. The burgers are perfectly cooked and the truffle fries have the perfect truffle flavor without being too overpowering. The star of the show for me is the Dijon aïoli! It's one of the best sipping sauce I have tasted! I have also tried the potato soup in the past, I ordered it for delivery when sick, and even at my worst and not being hungry at all I could still make myself eat the soup because it was so good! I will really miss this spot and the Dijon aïoli!

    Beet and Beet & Arugula Salad, I always add the quinoa patty if I don't order the quinoa fritters because it's so good!

    I'm devastated to hear of their closing! I had quite a few friends working at this restaurant over the years and it's always a go-to spot to bring visiting family and friends. Even when I didn't know someone working there, the staff treats everyone well and it's a big reason why the community loves this place so much. Parking is usually a hassle, but the food is well worth it! Burger buns are soft and fresh, their veggie burger/ quinoa fritters are amazing for vegans, and don't even get me started on their house honey mustard and ketchup! I'd love to see a cookbook with their recipes for when this place closes.

    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.

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

Our sever was new but he had great energy and was very enthusiastic. One of my friends has a gluten allergy & is sensitive to egg/heavy dishes so he was diligent in checking on ingredients and substitutions for her. That said, they did not have a lot of options for her. I get it, weird dietary needs, but the kitchen's lack of substitution flexibility for allergies was surprising. It was a really nice day out so we had marked in our reservation that we wanted patio seating with a view. We were seated at a standard height half-booth table that did not have a view over the railing so it was kind of a waste. The booth material was also cracked/peeling along the seam so it was pinching my thighs (I was wearing a dress) and was uncomfortable. The food was just okay. It's definitely on the pricier side for brunch in Nashville, albeit probably in line for 12S. My partner's French toast was little burnt. The best thing was the truffle parm fries, but mainly because of the dipping sauce. I had the Beverly Club but it wasn't anything special and a little pricy for what it is. I'd be interested to see how their dinner service compares.

The waitress was so kind and went over the menu and how they do there meats after knowing this was our first time at there.

We ordered the cornbread appetizer that comes with hot honey and whipped butter. It's served in a little dish like a cake. It was tender with whole corn on the inside. We didn't realize they also bring complementary gluten-free cheese, puffs turnovers, and mini biscuits . Those were out of this world!! The cheese puffs pull apart and have white cheddar inside! The biscuits were perfect!! Our main course was the club carbonara pasta( house made pasta with chicken and bacon) and the steak frites (with chimichurri sauce). I got the Sauvignon Blanc it was fruity and fresh! The place was upscale and seemed to be a lot of larger parties. We will definitely be back.

    I picked this place almost randomly, mostly because it was in the area I needed to be, open when I…read moreneeded it to be open, and it had a private parking lot, so I didn't have to hassle with validation or other parking nonsense. I missed it at first, it doesn't really look like a restaurant on the outside when you're driving by for the first time and their sign sits on the ground and is only mostly visible from the other direction. We walked in, having never been there before, and not seeing sign about choosing your own seat or waiting to be seated. Despite being right there I had to go up and get the attention of the people behind the bar because they hadn't noticed us walk in. Mostly I didn't want to just sit down and have no one even realize we were there. Our server was very nice, attentive, cheerful, and pleasant. After a few minutes she asked us what we wanted and we replied we didn't have menus yet, then she showed us the little standup on the table I had ignored because they're usually for drink specials, was actually a QR code to get the menu and it was only digital. Not so impressive now that the pandemic has been over for a while. I forget the name of the burger I got, but it came with candied bacon, jalapeños, sautéed onions, and cheese. I could definitely taste and feel the jalapeños, and it had a "bacon" taste, but I sadly found it unremarkable. If I had to guess, they smashed raw, unseasoned beef onto the griddle, and then doused it was salt. I couldn't really taste beef, but I could definitely taste salt. The fries were better than decent, crispy, tasted good, but not mind blowing. For the user experience nitpicks, I already mentioned walking in and seeing no sign and having to get someone's attention. There was a lightbulb above where we were that was flickering like a haunted house, and the table wasn't level and rocked every time you shifted your weight. Again, our server was great, kept the drinks filled, answered questions easily, and was very pleasant. Bottom line: I don't think I'll be going back. It was a solid ok, but nothing drawing me back. They have a full bar, so maybe it's perfect for you or it's a party on the weekend. I'd say give it a try if you're in the area; the prices were pretty decent.
