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

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

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

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

I did it again! Food looked and smelled so good, I got sidetracked and forgot the pics of everything except the Dr. Gondo and cheese fries! Dog friendly, super spunky beer and burger joint. Great in the spring time - they have the garage door open and picnic tables outside. Spouse also got the Tom Brady, I got the grilled cheese with onions, and we got cheese fries to share.

My friend said that she doesn't normally go for a burger but this one was delicious! We will definitely stop in again read more

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

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

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

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

Best burger in Memphis !!!! Hands down !!!! Service was excellent !!!! Food came out fast and on point !

I just left Jack Brown's, I got a Cheese Burger, Fries, Sweet Tea, and a Fried Oreo. My fries had been sitting out for 5 minutes before they were dumped in a Togo box for me. I also asked for fry Sauce and was assured that it would be in the box, cold fries no fry sauce. I called and asked to speak to the manager... he told me my fries were hot and that his employee was not lying, so I guess I was. I felt like my money did not matter and need I say I am an African American senior Citizen. They won't see me again. Ms Tate read more

Great burger & fries from a hipster bar rocking 90's alternative jams! SHOCKER Burger: Reasonably thick patty with two slices of pepper jack & fresh jalapeños. The heat was definitely on with this thing. It's not blow your doors off, but not for the meek or mild. I'd recommend an extra patty. Also, get the Shocker sauce on the side to moderate your bites & manage the mess. FRIES: I chose regular crinkle cuts. They had a good crisp & were piping hot. The Sweet Potato fries were also a popular choice among my group. SERVICE: Eight of us went for dinner on a Friday at about 8PM. There was plenty of space to accommodate. The shorter blonde gal took our order very quickly & pointed us towards the self-serve water buckets. She was speedy & thorough, but was on her way out before we could thank her. The burgers & fries are served in baskets. Everything was very good & came out much faster than we expected. Thanks for a great experience from a crew of outta-towners! read more

Love this place when I'm hungry for hamburgers. Delicious hamburgers! Friendly staff. Clean!

Had the best burger waitress could not have been sweeter great service love the atmosphere definitely going back and taking friends

I had been wanting to visit this spot for quite some time! I really like chill places that serve a variety of beers and drinks. Hubby and I dropped in and we enjoyed our dinner! I ordered the Dr. Gonzo burger and it was pretty good! I love any sandwich with mushrooms in it. Lol. My favorite part was definitely the fries. The sauce that they bring around was the icing on the cake! I have no idea what it was but it was really good and I ate it on both the burger and fries. My husband enjoyed his dinner and he also mentioned how much he enjoyed the fries. They had a good variety of beer here. My husband tried two different ones and I was stuck with an Arnold Palmer and Original Sin White Widow (alcohol free cider since I'm pregnant) I will say....their sweet tea is AMAZING! That was one of the best Arnold Palmers I've had in a while. I definitely plan to come back for more. Oh! And we went at night, so keep in mind that it's dark in there. There aren't any lights on really and they just have Christmas like lights hanging from the ceiling. Still a vibe and I enjoyed it. Our waitress was also super nice and knowledgeable! She did a great job of making drink recommendations for my husband. read more

Mid, trying to be edgy. Menu says Wagyu beef, so you could at least tell it wasn't cheap 70% ground beef, but that's the only highlight of the visit. It was a slightly salty smash burger so there is no way to get it cooked to order. I had to get two patties to make it a full burger, otherwise it was a kids burger (up-charge for second patty). What ever the menu says comes on the burger, that's it - no lettuce, tomato, or onions as a standard staple. The bun was as cheap as you could get, think bulk from Costco or Sams club, not not even the good ones. It came shoved in a paper sleeve, on top of my fries, no plate or way to eat it like a human. The sleeve made my greasy burger and bun soggy within 10 seconds. The fries were extra - a $4 up-charge for crinkle-cut fries (to be fair, they were cooked well, but I'm not a 12-year old). For my double patty and fries (no drink, mind you) - $25. Atmosphere was dark and slightly grungy, with heavy metal music playing. Bathrooms were at least clean but the literal graffiti on the bathroom walls made it trashy. Parking was at least free. You can get a better burger and fries at Wendy's, for less than half the price. read more

Burgers are excellent! I go here anytime I want a good environment and good service. I always order the hoochie coochie beer! It's great!

The food was decent. Fries were crinkle cut and amazing. BUT....big red flag here.... When we got our food, they handed us this big bottle of their secret sauce. I asked what the ingredients were. Our server said he could not tell us that as it is their secret sauce. I get that, but I told them I have a family full of food, allergies, and needed to ensure there were no tree nuts, such as almond milk or coconut milk or anything involving a tree nut. He said "we cannot share the recipe with you. My apologies." That is completely unacceptable. I'm not trying to steal their secret sauce. I'm trying to make sure one of my kids doesn't die at the table. read more

0/10 Do not recommend. This was my friend group's weekly trivia spot for over a year until tonight actually. Apparently even if you've been going there weekly for over a year, you are NOT allowed to send a burger back more than once for being overcooked and burned or the manager will walk over to your table personally and tell you to your face that you are NOT ALLOWED to send a burger back any more for being overcooked because they know how to cook a burger. A burger that you payed YOUR MONEY for mind you. You just have to accept what they cooked and move on, no matter what. The audacity. I hope that $10 overcooked burger was worth the money they'll now lose on our business every week. I truly believe it was due to my race (black) and that he would not have behaved that way to his Caucasian regulars as I could feel the hate steaming from him as he spat his nonsense at me. We shall take our business elsewhere and I suggest you all do the same. read more
