    Crispy Fries
    Zandora S.

    Burgers are solid! Good burgers! Fries were crispy and the cheese sauce was good. Our waiter was cool, he suggested fried Oreos at the end. Yummm. I also had a Red Irish Ale. All thumbs up. I would go back. :)

    When I saw Lexington had a Jack Brown's, I knew that's where I was eating supper. This is my third Jack Brown's. I've been to. It's a consistent amazing experience at each location. I sat at the bar, ordered a beer and got my burger and fries on the way. Service was very good I get the original Jack burger as a double. And I get my fries all jacked up, which isn't on the menu. It's basically some loaded fries. Every company thing came out piping hot. It was amazing! An amazing place to grab a beer and a burger I can't wait to come back

    Elvis in a bun
    Chanda M.

    Everything about this restaurant was spot on. The food came out fast & piping hot!! I tried the Elvis and it made my lip quiver with delight. The sweet potato fries were made by the GOAT of all french fry Friars you can't convince me otherwise. The Jack Brown's employees worked together as a team which was great to see and it looked like they were having fun while working!! I can't wait to go back to try something else on their menu! Also, loved their house sauce I wish I could take a bucketful home with me, delicious!

    I love the interior design and the burgers are fantastic! I went for the first time during Lexington Burger Week 2025 and they handle the lunch crowd very well. It's a cool place with great burgers and I look forward to going back.

    Fantastic atmosphere and yummy unique food. 11/10 for overall vibe and experience. If in Lexington you absolutely must stop in!

    This is one of the best burgers I've ever had! I got the classic Jack and my coworker got the Elvis and both burgers were cooked perfectly and super juicy. They have a housemaid sauce that goes really well with their sweet potato fries. Service was excellent, and this is a great place to sit down in if you like a grungy punk rock type of feel. It also has a bar set up, inside if you wanted to sit there!

    One of the best burgers we had in a long time. Simple burger with absolutely amazing taste. Waitress was friendly and other staff assisted with no issues. Atmosphere is dim Lit, grunge rock, with wooden tables, and bar stools

    Phill-E's Cheesesteak Burger "Lexington Burger Week special"
    Kyle E.

    Absolutely, love this spot. Services was great and the food came out fast and fantastic. Love their fries and garlic aioli sauce. They probably have the biggest beer selection in the city to choose from. Love going here. Came for Lexington Burger Week. Posted my review below. Definitely give this place a shot next time you go out. Phill-E's Cheesesteak Burger Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint Score: 7.9 Absolutely love this place. The burger was 100% wagyu beef patty with sautéed white onions, bell peppers , garlic aioli, swiss cheese all between a fresh Martin's Potato Roll. Burger was cooked perfectly and the bun was on point. If you haven't been here you need to try it out. Love this place!

    So glad I gave this place a try! It was amazing!! Well seasoned fries and great burgers! I look forward to trying more from the menu. Service was also great with the waiter being super attentive and kind.

    We've been to this location twice after going to another location in Cincy. The service is always fast and friendly. We're typically there for early dinner and never had to wait for a table. The ambience is cool with all kinds of interesting decor around the restaurant/bar area. They have a ton of different beer selections to choose from, even for people like me who would say they aren't really beer drinkers. I love the fruit, chocolate, nutty or sweet beers and they had several to choose from. The bun on the burger is always fresh and airy, with a nicely cooked patty and whatever toppings you can think of. The sweet potato fries are crinkle-cut and cooked with a slight crunch on the outside. Their JB sauce (mayo/ketchup and some other stuff) goes well on everything. Their menu is small, just burgers, grilled cheese, hot dog but the food is really good. The only complaint I have is both times we were there, door and both windows were open. It got really cold inside. The first time, we arrived to them open and they eventually closed them. The second time, they opened them after we were seated. If none of your patrons take off their coat, with someone sitting at the bar with a hoodie and their hood up, it is too cold. I get the staff may be hot, but (we) the patrons don't seem to be having that issue.

    Over priced burger served their way not yours. Greasy and soggy buns. Not worth the money IMO.

    Is this restaurant child-friendly?

    It's definitely a bar, first & foremost. That being said, I wouldn't hesitate to bring kids in during the day, late afternoon/early evening.

There's something for everyone, whether you're a "let me analyze the hops" person or a "just give me something cold and delicious" person. Everything we tried was solid, and it's clear they know what they're doing. The venue itself is super cool. Family friendly, relaxed, not pretentious, and somehow feels both lively and laid-back at the same time. The kind of place where you can hang out for one drink and accidentally stay for three. Service was great: friendly, fast, and helpful without hovering. Exactly what you want when you're trying to responsibly sample your way through a tap list. Parking is excellent. Stress-free. No parallel parking gymnastics. No circling the block questioning your life choices. Just... parking. Beautiful. They also had a pop-up event featuring local artists, which was awesome. Apparently they host things like that pretty regularly, and I love that they're supporting local small businesses. Nothing pairs better with a craft beer than community spirit. They offer pizza, which we didn't try this time, but it looked and smelled incredible. Great beer, cool atmosphere, excellent service, strong community vibes, and parking that doesn't make you cry. 10/10, will absolutely be back.

We also ordered a Gluten Free Bourbon BBQ Chicken Pizza and a Honey Garlic Chicken Pizza. The food took about 30 minutes, which was fine, since we were conducting our meeting anyway. Everyone enjoyed the food. I also tried the Vernal Equinox which is a nice crisp beer that will be a good one for the warm weather.

    Gotta be honest with you...meh. I was a little disappointed…read more I'll start with the beers. I tried the Old Reliable and the White Girl Wasted. Not much flavor in either one. Hate to say it, as it's local, but I'd much rather knock back a Budweiser. And I never even drink Budweiser. Tried the Margherita pizza. I really liked the wood fired crust. Super tender with a wood fired flavor to it. But the pizza overall was quite bland. And, with tax, it was pushing twenty dollars. That's an Andrew Jackson for a pizza not much bigger than the size of my hand. They have to be pulling fifteen dollar margins on that small pizza. You're not gonna feed a family of four in here without it hurting. And that's just odd to me when we're talking pizza. I really like what they did to the place. Sharp looking inside. But the service ain't really that great, especially when you consider the prices. And it attracts a certain white collar, hipster clientele. Not that there's anything wrong with that but that's the feel. It's not a place you're going to go after you just plumbed a house. It just doesn't have that blue collar feel to it that some breweries do, and I kinda left wishing it did. But hey, what do I know? Place is popular. I hope it's successful in this expansion location. Before I went there, I asked my neighbor what he thought of it when I saw him walking back from the place with a box. He said, in two words, "It's expensive." That's it. All he told me. So, I'll leave you with that.

This delicious smorgasbord was only 9 dollars! My colleague had the juicer, which is mahi mahi with cabbage slaw and spicy mayo. He also got the Hawaiian style fries. Topped with spicy mayo, sweet soy, house chili sauce, green onion, and sesame seed, this is an extravagant dish! He enjoyed it. My other colleague got spam musubi is spam and sweet soy on sticky rice, wrapped in seaweed. He says it's his favorite dish from there.
