Our Memphis college student grandson said we HAD to go to Jack Brown's when visiting him because they served the BEST burgers--and how right he was! We arrived around 7pm and every table but one was occupied. Our friendly server welcomed us and asked about beverages within minutes of being seated. Food choices were unique--grandson order his with Mac and cheese saying "every time you cone you should try a different burgers because they are all great!" Burgers are all juicy, flavorful and are made up of unique combinations! A lively ambiance, bar stool seating at high tables and all guests enjoying dinner at Jack Brown's--it's a must visit in Memphis! read more

Jack Brown’s Beer and Burger Joint - Burgers Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

One of my favorite lunch spots to go during the work day. They have specialty burgers every day of the week (only available that day). Their special sauce is house made and a highlight of my meal. The restaurant itself can be a bit loud so it's not optimal for intimate conversation or for older folks who might have problems hearing; but it is perfect for a lively environment to get your energy up. This is a seat yourself establishment. There is indoor and outdoor seating. When the weather is nice they will open up the glass doors. read more

This was my 15th visit, so I figured it was finally time to leave a review! The burgers here never disappoint. They're always cooked fresh to order, served piping hot, and incredibly juicy. The burgers are medium-sized, but they also offer a double burger option. I usually choose the regular cheeseburger, but this time I tried the "Chiflet," made with Snake River Farms Wagyu beef and topped with applewood smoked bacon, egg, and American cheese on a potato bun. Absolutely delicious! They also feature a daily burger special, which keeps the menu interesting. The crinkle fries are consistently hot and pair perfectly with the burgers. On top of that, they offer a great selection of both imported and domestic beers. The staff is always super friendly. Overall, it's a great spot to grab a burger, hang out, and enjoy the atmosphere. read more

I'm on the hunt for a great smash burger in Memphis, and this was pretty good! They make a special sauce for their burgers and fries that is addictive. It is more of a dive bar, so if that's not your vibe, it may not be for you. However, if you want a good, cheap burger, this is it! They even gave me a free fried Oreo for my birthday. I like getting them for takeout when I want a burger but don't necessarily want to be somewhere loud. read more

We love burgers and Jack Browns is one of my favorites. Small little bar and burger joint in the midtown area of Memphis which has parking behind it and that is a plus for this area. Before Jack Browns came to Memphis we would make sure and eat it every time we were in Nashville. Love the cobra Kai burger and the salty sweet potato fries. O read more

I have been wanting to try this burger place out for a long time. Finally got the chance Thursday for lunch. My friend and I ventured to Midtown Memphis to get burgers and fries. I had the Dr. Gonzo burger which had a burger patty, Swiss cheese, grilled onions, and bacon. Great choice of yummy ingredients to make a solid burger. The burger is kind of small but I was full after inhaling the fried and perfectly seasoned crinkle cut fries. The fry sauce was a total Hit! Service was good. Our server Becky was very friendly and helpful. The place has tables and chairs and high top tables too. The bar is dark but they do have some picnic tables near the entrance for more light. Bathrooms were clean and had a lot of personal signatures and art. I am going to return to get a different kind of burger. read more

Decor nice, lighting perfect, but it was SO loud that I could not talk to my partner. Very busy, but no hostess and full tables. Hurried wait staff with no patience. And no, I am not QR coding to look at a drink menu. Just give me a damn menu! I would give the burger a B Juicy, but lacking flavor, even with the toppings. Needed salt and pepper. Permeating weed smells from outside. Return doubtful. read more

Jack browns is the place to be. It's never a miss. The decor is very 80s style. Plenty of stickers and niche sayings on the walls. Greg Brady has been the star of the show for me since I got it. The burgers come very plain and that's how I like as a semi picky eater. I usually get my food within 20 mins of sitting down. Service is friendly and knowledgeable. THEY HAVE FRIED OREOS!!!!!!!!! read more

This place 100% shocked me (in a very good way). My girlfriend and I originally planned to go to a restaurant nearby but they unexpectedly were closed. So we saw this burger joint and thought hey let's give it a try! From the unique bacon topping & pickle on the bloody Mary to the range of burger options, this is not your typical average burger spot. Wish I was in Memphis longer so I could go again! The service here was some of the best I've had, very attentive and extremely kind. They worked very well as a team! Make sure you take time to look at all the wall decor items for a smile :) read more

Incredible burgers, fries & place to prop up and watch a game. It's definitely a bar & burger joint. Service is good, laid back and casual place. They keep it simple. No lettuce and no tomato. They also do not serve ranch dressing. This disappointed me on our first visit but once the food came out m, it took one bite for my disappointment to fade. These burgers are amazing and supposedly made with waygu beef. They really are excellent smash burgers. The best in Memphis! read more

The bartenders were very helpful and friendly, and the service was quick. We had gone to watch the Tiger's game. They had two TVs, one behind the bar and one in the main dining room. Both burgers were great! My partner and I decided on two we wanted to try and split them. I liked the Greg Brady more, while he preferred the Cobra Kai. The aioli they brought out for the sweet potato fries was excellent. My only complaint would be that I wish they would add some salads or something to the menu, the only options are burgers and fries. I know it is a chain though. read more

First off, Jack Brown is a chain restaurant specialising in consistent smash burgers and expansive beer selection. All of the Waygu grade hamburger meat is sourced from American farms and the burgers come as double patties portions. I want to emphasise consistent because they have no exceptions to items on their menu! You cannot order yours with mustard or mayonnaise or whatever - menu items are as is. Fries are extra and come in a big basket with or without the bacon and cheese sauce topping. The beer selection is what this place is all about boasting over 100 can selections and they offer about 8 local beers on tap. Their selection is amazing with a few of everything - pilsners, IPA's, sours, porters, stouts, wheats, Belgian's, gose, you get the idea, all at about $8-$12 per can. The ambiance is kitschy dive- bar wannabe. Very clean inside but graffiti and garage-sale art all over the walls in the dark themed establishment. Our servers were very kind and took the time to explain the menu and directed us to their website to view the beer selection. Everything is made in plain sight as you can see the cooks prepare each mouth-watering order. Parking is a little tight and also in the back of the restaurant with no rear access so you have to walk around front to get in which can be challenging in cold and misty weather conditions. They could use a guard?? ... for their dark and secluded parking-to-the-door trip. Taking a date? ; 2 burgers, fries and a couple beers will run you about $80 + tip and taxes so be prepared for that. JB's loves to have weekday pub events like trivia contests and the like. They have a knotch club too, those who have had 100+ beers there; that can be a real investment but doable if you go there weekly. So in about a year you'll be a real insider' like many already are. Try JB's burgers and beers and see what everybody's talking about. read more

This place was a true live saver for us! My friend and I were traveling cross country via car with a dog. We rolled into town late. Not only did Jack Brown's have a patio we could sit at with our dog, they took our order outside and checked on us regularly to make sure we were taken care of. The food was delicious! The perfect treat after a long drive. I got the "Greg Brady" which was a cheese burger with macaroni and cheese and potato chips on it. Truly devine! Their beer and cider selection was also fantastic. Our server was fabulous, he took great care of us and made us feel like the most important customers in the world, lol! The fellow patrons were also friendly and welcoming. And even outside the, the vibes were comfy and safe. If I'm ever in Memphis again, I will surely stop here. I also recommend it to anyone who is passing through town. read more

This was our first time here and we will be back! I usually don't like to order burgers out because the buns are too bready or fancy but luckily the buns here are just soft, steamy and just right. I do suggest ordering double patties because the burgers were small. We sat outside and enjoyed some people watching and music. Our servers were nice and the food came out at an appropriate pace. Everything tasted great! read more

Based on the yelp reviews we decided to try this place since we were wanting the best hamburger in Memphis. Jack Brown was one of the places that popped up. Located on central avenue right down from central bbq in a small area with parking on the side and back of the building. They have a long bar area which I lived as it provides lots of seating. Also seating included small table chair areas and various size bar tables all with bar stool seats. Nice for groups. The wait staff snd service was excellent. Friendly and attentive and being our first time here our waiter explained everything to us. Check out the decor on the walls, ceilings, in the bathroom and around the bar area. They had a Christmas tree up and pictures and stats of the 400 Notch Club which we found interesting-ask your server. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. I usually don't like music overhead but I love the 80's music and it wasn't loud. The temperature was great and the atmosphere was fun, casual and friendly. The food was hot and the burgers were just as good as the reviews stated. The hamburgers were oh so good. I had the cheese burger and he had the Chiflet burger with bacon, sunny-side up egg and cheese which he said was good. We had tots they were out of French fries but did have sweet potato fries. The burger was a little peppery but still good. I can't say enough amazing things about the wait staff we were approached by several staff members who checked on us, refilled our drinks and brought our food. The vibe is wonderful and the clientele was a great mixture of old , young, black, white, and other ethnic groups. We had to pass up the fried Oreo for dessert. read more

Ok, John Smith Beer & Burger, you have won me over! I dig your beers, and also like your extremely proud of themselves, tasty burgers! Music line up being played is great! I catch myself singing at some point during each visit. I love the disco bra hanging from the ceiling! It reminds me of boobies and those are great too! They did a really good job making it look like an old dive bar from the get go and it will just get better with time. Great bar design!!! Kudos to whoever came up with Steve Jones Beer and Burger Bar! This shit is brilliant! You drink $600-$800 worth of beer and you get a tshirt! Brilliant!!! I say!! Our relationship started out on the wrong foot, quite literally. I was fresh out of the hospital, completely stuck in a wheelchair, and looking for somewhere new to eat. They were unable to accommodate and we left. That sucked and was quite embarrassing. Especially after they chased me outside and told me they would move other people so I could sit. Cringe Since then I have been back three times and eaten each time. I do love a tasty burger! First real time I got the Farrah Fawcett Burger. It was really good and the flavors were great. Whipped Brie is not a normal burger topping! Add the bacon and hot honey. Dang. Second time was the Gary Busey Burger, which is a really strange burger with Mac & Cheese, BBQ chips, and American Cheese. It was weird, would not get it again, but was stil pretty good. Third visit today was the again with the Sabrina Duncan burger. This time I had a completely different burger than the first Farrah Fawcett Burger, it was almost as if they could be called two different names. Strange. Check my pics and you will see the difference. These chicks don't even look the same!! I'll be back, I dig the skinny crinkle cut fries and the servers are really sweet. The burgers are interestingly good too. I think I'll get the "Stifler" next time. It has applewood bacon, fried egg, and American cheese. I love eggs on a burger! *names vary by location. Says it right there on the menu. '24 - 66/101 read more

Jack Brown’s Beer and Burger Joint - Burgers Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I was given the suggestion to try Jack Brown's by a friend. Off the top, Food was excellent and service great from walk-in to leaving. I'm a burger aficionado--I love a great burger--so I called up a friend and made a trip to check it out. I was excited to try their 100% American Wagyu beef burger. So, let's goo! I ordered the Cobra Kai (topped with cream cheese, pickled jalapeños, and jalapeño jelly--and just to be extra, I added bacon). It came on a basic soft bun--not a fancy brioche or sourdough, just a simple, bunny-bread, Kroger-brand-style soft bun (I don't know the brand, but it's exactly what I like). Let me tell you, this was like a jalapeño popper burger in the best way possible. The meat was seasoned well and cooked just how I like it. The cream cheese acted as the perfect binder for the jalapeño jelly, and the jelly itself had just the right sweetness to balance the heat. I love sweet/spicy, not spicy/spicier, and this burger nailed that combo. The fries were basic, old-school crinkle-cut, crispy, and delicious--exactly what you want when you're craving a classic burger-and-fries meal. Just note that sides are à la carte, so you'll need to order them separately. Now, for the atmosphere--it's a dive bar, through and through. Old 90's rock was pumping through the speakers. The decor leans towards tacky (women's underwear hanging from a disco ball, questionable inflatable reindeer on the wall) with a vibe that's more rowdy than relaxed. The bathroom is super graffitied up (you can guess). It's definitely not the most family-friendly place, given the promiscuous undertones in some of the decor and verbiage on the bathroom walls. If you're looking for a chill, all-ages burger spot, this isn't it. But if you're down for a great burger and don't mind the divey feel, Jack Brown's is worth a visit. Would I go back? For the burger? Absolutely. I want to try the others. For the ambiance? Probably not. Take my kids, nah...probably not but carry out is an option. Oh, they have Jack Brown sauce---I'm a garlic aioli fan-if you are don't skip or skimp on this sauce. Delicious on the burger and the fry's! read more
