An oasis in downtown Petersburg! Great hand-formed burgers, wonderful made-in-house desserts. Cold beers on tap and in bottles. Service is friendly. Air conditioning worked great on this 95 degree day! Several TVs, with sound turned off and music coming from a streaming service throughout the restaurant. Two clean gender-neutral rest rooms. Just a nice simple but surprisingly good lunch spot to take a break from window shopping at antique stores. read more

My husband picked this spot because the Yelp review had photos of cake! The team was great, from welcoming us in to accommodating hungry kids. We ended up getting a couple of burgers, a hot dog and a set of sliders. Plus fries and sweet potato fries. The winner of the night were the sweet potato fries with a pineapple dipping sauce! I don't normally go for sweet potato fries, but they were so well prepared and tasty! We had a golden cake (cue K-Pop Demon Hunters theme music) which was golden cake with chocolate frosting, and a few strawberry cakes. Both were moist, and verdict on the Strawberry cake is that it was sweeter than expected. I thought the meal was a win overall. read more

The food I ordered was a cup of chicken vegetable soup, and it was delivered piping hot with bold fresh flavors. I can tell that this soup was made fresh and it was delicious. The server was very polite and informative about the menu. She told me of the special which was the soup and I was not disappointed, The venue was very clean. It had a good atmosphere with music playing in the background and a TV on as well every week they always have some type of special and it's worth checking out. read more

Oh goodness where do I start? I popped into this place looking for a late lunch/early dinner on a weekday. It was not very busy but glad to say that definitely had to be attributed to the time and not the food. The food was delicious, exactly what you want from a burger place. Crispy fries and juicy patties, a match made in heaven. My server Brandon was charismatic and kind! We had a lovely conversation and he made sure to walk me through the daily specials which prompted me to try out the slider combo! The interior is small but furnished very well with low top, high top and bar seating. It is located off the street but there is a large public parking lot right across which makes it super accessible! I ended my meal with a slice of their sweet potato cake! Yes cake! It was delicious and chock full of nuts. I can't wait to "comeback" to this burger spot for the good eats and good conversation! Definitely check it out if you're looking for a quick bite. read more

Comeback Burger is a great place for a casual sit-down lunch. There is plenty of take out traffic too! Expect to find a busy place in a friendly, comfortable, eclectic atmosphere. Great service! Not your average burger. Comeback features Wagyu beef burgers that are flavorful. There are a variety of ways one can get a burger here with a variety of sauces and veggie and bacon toppings. The sides (fries and onion rings) are ordered separately. I am glad to see the art of the onion ring making a "comeback" and these are hot fresh crispy and overall fantastic! The quality of the food and service was excellent. I thought that the burgers were a bit small for the price. As you may know, I am a fan of a great burger. The burgers were served on a basic (grocery store) bun. A nice brioche bun would have been an appropriate enhancement to the Wagyu burger. I will "Comeback". read more

Came here with hubs for a weekday lunch. We arrived right around noon, but we still got a table right away. We weren't really sure if we were supposed to seat ourselves or wait, or order at the bar or what, since they didn't have a sign posted, and they only had one guy working the front and we only saw one person in the back. They do have a sign posted that they are looking to hire a server, and I definitely won't hold that against them, especially when we got the food pretty darn fast and he did come over and take our order after hubs went up and asked if we were supposed to order at the counter. The restaurant itself is cute as heck, definitely fits in with the vibe of Old Town Petersburg: vintage-style decor, cool paint with lots of wood and "similar but not identical" seating, which I think just looks really awesome and nostalgic. We ordered the Buggie Burger, the Mac Attack burger, and a basket of fries to split. Buggie Burger: loved the flavor combo! Salty bacon, creamy peanut butter, sweet honey dripping all over the side... It was good. Mac Attack: still loved the creamy Mac and cheese, BBQ sauce, crunchy chips, spicy jalapeño combo. It was still crunchy and creamy coming kitchen to table as fast as it did, I just kind of wish there were a bit more of everything. More chips, more jalapeños... They were kind of sparse, so you really get a lot more BBQ sauce than anything else. Fries: Exactly I would like them. They were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and piping hot and awesome. The basket was definitely big enough for hubs and I to share. Overall, burgers aren't usually a food that I excitedly go out of my way to go order at a restaurant, but if we ever happen to be antiquing in downtown Petersburg, I will definitely stop by again. We were sad that we didn't get a chance to try any of the awesome sounding desserts since it was almost time to go pick the kids up from school. That will definitely be on my to do list next time. There is also a public parking lot directly across the street, which is awesome for that area. read more

High quality beef great service low prices. I'll go back. I order some take home burger after my meal Ya that good

On my way to NC... What a great find. The burger I tried was well done and fresh. I had special sauce, fried egg, bacon and lite cheese. It was delicious. Friendly establishments and very welcoming and clean environment. Definitely will come back on my return to NYC. Highly recommend if you're in St. Petersburg VA. I took off one star for not having sweet potato or truffle fries as an option. They should consider adding those items. read more

Let me begin by saying we LOVED this place until today. My husband sat in the restaurant for 30 mins with no service. The waitress welcomed in other customers after him, took their order, served them drinks and food all while seeing my husband was waiting at his table for just some acknowledgment even! I would hate to think this is due to his skin color, but it's hard to deny all of the customers that got service were not his skin tone. We've never had this experience before. It's a shame because the food is great. Do better ya'll! read more

4.5 stars if possible! Food was good although a bit greasy but wonderful. The onion rings were awesome and so was the sweet tea! Service was really helpful and around when we needed her. Ambience was kinda like an old school diner. Limited menu but definitely found something for both myself and my S.O. Worth the pit stop! read more

Not only is the place unique, in that it's smack in the middle of a civil war era town, but the burger combinations Comeback has, are the best I have ever tasted. I have yet to have something I didn't like. They are so good, that I firmly believe Guy Fieri needs come here, for a future episode of his show! read more

Comeback Burger - Cheesy shroom - Burgers Near Me - Petersburg, Virginia

Everything about this place was fantastic. It was clean with an industrial vibe that fits in with the old towne history of Petersburg. The menu is varied while remaining true to their staple offering, burgers. But let me just tell you. We stopped in on a whim figuring burgers were a safe bet. We were not prepared for the amazing food we were served with both efficiency and courtesy. The first bite actually stopped me in my tracks so to speak. It was THAT good. The fried apps were perfectly fried and not greasy. I can not say enough wonderful things about this place. Our new favorite. read more

Very good service, simple menu, and pretty great burgers! Never had Wagu beef before but it was phenomenal.

I ordered takeout from Comeback and that sandwich was DELICIOUS! I got the ultimate comeback grilled cheese and just thinking about makes my mouth start watering all over again. The person on the phone was amazing and had great customer service. The staff when I arrived was super friendly and welcoming. The whole place had a warm welcoming vibe. Convenient location in Oldtown too! The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the fries were very bland and soggy and boring. I won't get the fries again but I am coming back to Comeback! read more

Whether you're looking for a delicious beef, turkey, veggie or bean burger - they have it all! I ate a beef burger, my friend ate the bean burger. Both of them were yummy. Great vibe. Fun and friendly staff/owner. Excellent location in Historic Downtown Petersburg. Like the name says, you will want to come back for more. And let me tell you about the desserts!!! They are beyond delicious!!! What sets them apart from other restaurants is that almost all of their desserts are home made from scratch based on unique recipes. I ate a slice of their sweet potato cake. Don't let the name fool you - it tasted like carrot cake...moist and delicious. Do yourself a favor and try one of their cakes!!! read more

Best burger I've had in a while. I see why it's called Comeback Burger, I will definitely come back to try other burgers on the menu when I need my burger fix. My hamburger patty and onion rings were cooked to perfection. While the burger was smaller than you might expect, the portions were just right for me. If you don't want a fast food type burger and crave homestyle flavor and quality this is the place to go. Not at all greasy like What-A-Burger. They have beer on tap to complement your meal. And service was great. read more

Went on Tuesday at 2:00 wasn't so busy. The service was exceptional. Unique menu and the burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, with fresh toppings that take everything to the next level. The fries are crispy and seasoned just right, making for the perfect side. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, and the service is always friendly and quick. If you're a burger lover, this place is an absolute must-try read more

The staff is definitely nice and are pretty quick no complaints there. First and foremost the burger is just not where it needs to be. Beef was definitely not fresh, over cooked and not seasoned. Crinkle fries are also just not enough to make up for an already failing basket. Hate to say it but the sweet tea was the only thing I enjoyed, oh and the Mac and cheese with the BBQ sauce was decent. I'll be back to see if anything changes with the beef or if the flat top gets seasoned, maybe something other than crinkles and rings. I'm hopeful because this town lacks solid burger spots. read more

Comeback Burger - Mac attack. Wasn't seasoned, over cooked and wasn't fresh. Mac and cheese and BBQ were good - Burgers Near Me - Petersburg, Virginia

Are you looking for a quality burger? Look no further. We stopped at comeback Burger after running the Rugged Maniac down the road. We were all starving and ready for beers and burgers. Comeback Burgers did not disappoint! We were seated quickly, server was super helpful, and drinks were ordered. The menu here is very basic (for the better). They have pre-crafted burgers that have ideal flavor combinations, or you can build your own. This being said somehow three of us ended up with the pimento cheese burger. The fourth person had the jalapeño popper burger. We all got burgers and fries, and I took part in that special sauce. Once my friends tried it, they all ordered a round as well. To make sure your expectations are set. Comeback burger gives you quality burgers. They're going to seem a bit small for the price, but they pack a ton of flavor and you won't be disappointed. Spring for some crinkle cut fries on the side and you've got yourself a perfect meal. Remember, bigger isn't always better. And if you're really peckish, just add on an extra patty! We finished up our meal with some dessert, because I think we earned it after running in the mud. We tried the strawberry cake, and the coconut custard pie. Both were excellent. The server was right, the strawberry cake does taste like strawberry ice cream. It's similar to boxed strawberry cake, but elevated. The coconut pie was also legit yummy. I'm definitely thankful we decided to go outside of the box and hit up somewhere in historic Petersburg for lunch. This was a great little discovery that I think we will definitely hit again. read more

We ordered out on a Friday night at approximately 5 PM. We have a large family, so it's always a larger order. The facility looked to be very clean and well put together. There were many TVs lining the walls. We thought the food was great. It tasted great and as though the food was of good quality. I do wish that vegetables for the burgers was included, and that there were options for meals so that sides do not have to be purchased separately. Even though we had a large order, it was correct for the most part. Only one burger which was marked as having a hard fried egg, did not. Yolk burst all over my husband's shirt when he went to bite into it. I would recommend this restaurant and would return. read more

Super sweet staff in this new burger joint in old town. Clean, attentive, quick. High and low top tables to dine in and counter to pick up take out. Everyone (front and back of house) was working, great to see. We liked the onion rings the best out of what we ordered. The burgers are ok too. A bit over cooked and bland, but not bad. Brioche buns are good. Reasonable prices and portions. Food wasn't greasy. Decent tap list, fresh iced tea. Just get real glasses and use the dishwasher instead of using plastic. Lose all styrofoam too. read more

Great burgers, best we've found outside of downtown Richmond!! Onion rings and fries as sides are on spot as well. It's a great addition to have beer there now as well! read more

Nice addition to the Petersburg restaurant scene. Wagyu beef on all the burgers makes the burgers a little tastier but also a little smaller than you might expect at another non-Wagyu burger joint. Ambiance is nice. Have some TVs so it would make a great place for a game. Smaller selection of beers available but they are well chosen. Hopefully a local go to for years to come. read more

EVERYTHING!!! It's the best hamburger I've ever had!!! Cooked perfect with a standard bun so not alit of bread. FF's are to die for!!!!

Didn't get a chance to take a photo before I ate all of my food.. it was good! The burger was the perfect size (not too thick) and the comeback sauce was the perfect touch to the comeback burger. I didn't even need to add mustard. The staff was also friendly and we were greeted as soon as we entered. I'll definitely be back! (Ps. Get the sweet potato cake!) read more

I love a good burger, so I checked out this little spot. It's small, casual, and has decent, laid-back atmosphere. Have several beers on tap. We ordered the comeback burgers and fries and onion rings. Service was good and we didn't have a long wait to order or or receive food. Food came out and was a good deal smaller than anticipated. Taste was pretty good. Onion rings were crispy and tasty. Fries had no salt/seasoning and were super bland. Tea was outstanding....that was the highlight. Unfortunately, we both left still hungry, ans we ended up going elsewhere and eating appetizers to fill the void. Comeback burger's name is misleading, cause we weren't totally impressed. read more

Food and ambiance were great. Price is a little steep and no childrens menu except a grilled cheese.
