While traveling to Brentwood for a volleybal tournament, I found this establishment on Yelp due to…read moreour love for unique burgers. We arrived right at 11:00 for lunch on a Friday and there was a line out the door. You order at the bar counter, get a number and head to your seat after filling your cups up at the drink station. The restaurant has a small indoor area, but has tons of seating with a large outdoor patio and even larger outdoor seating area with a fire pit. We heard several locals talking about how they love the burgers and frequent the establishment. I asked for a burger recommendation and she said to go with the blackberry smoke burger as it is ranked third in the world. It was a smash burger with jalapeños, white American cheese blackberry jam, bacon and mascarpone cheese and it was DELICIOUS! My husband had the Tioga Ranch burger and he enjoyed it as well. My son isn't into burgers, so he had the lady bird but he substituted ranch for the Alabama white sauce. It was so big that he didn't have room to eat all of his chicken bacon ranch fries. My husband and I shared the truffle fries and they were EXCELLENT! I wish we lived in the area so that I could try some of the other burgers because they all sounded yummy! I highly recommend you give them a try if you are ever in the area!

Dive burger bar with a grungy Nashville vibe. We drove past at first because it doesn't stand out…read more In fact, it looks like an old house, but there are a lot of gourmet burger options. I had the the Blackberry Smoke burger, because I'm a sucker for blackberries and I've never seen them on a burgers, especially with jalapeños. It turned out to be a good combination. Burger size was good. It filled me up without making me overfull, but big appetites may want more. Fries and onion rings are generous sizes that can be shared. Service was fast and friendly. Whatever you choose, grab plenty of napkins because these burgers are juicy.

All I can say is... YUM. You can't go wrong with anything at Mr. J's!…read more Let's start with the pastrami sandwich.... It might have actually changed my life. The pastrami is hand-cut, perfectly tender, and each bite is packed with flavor! The Cowboy Bacon Cheeseburger is a close second favorite. Cheese, bacon, BBQ sauce, and their perfectly battered onion rings. You can't skip the sides either. The beef tallow fries are next level, and the fried zucchini is too!! You can tell right away they use high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is like a classic retro diner. It's clean, bright, and they even have a jukebox. Another plus: there's a free parking lot, which is unheard of in downtown Nashville! I'll be back soon to check out the breakfast menu!

I always enjoy my meals at Mr. J's. It has that classic diner vibe, and the portions are generous,…read morethe prices are reasonable, and I have never had a bad bite, from the classic burger to the Cowboy bacon cheeseburger, everything has been consistently delicious. The real star, though, is the pastrami sandwich. It is truly "heaven on a tray." Thick, juicy, perfectly seasoned hand sliced pastrami served piping hot on a soft, toasted French roll is hard to beat. The meat practically melts in your mouth, and adding the pickle slices they provide takes the flavor to another level. I also ordered the french fries, which were thick, crisp, and surprisingly tasty. You really cannot go wrong with Mr. J's. It is a must‑try whenever you are in the area.

ML Rose is a solid spot overall. The atmosphere is pretty much your standard burger joint, but they…read moredo have a really nice outdoor patio that sets it apart a bit. The burger is really good, smashed patties with their own animal sauce. The fries are waffle fries, which I don't mind at all. But honestly, the best part about this place is the ranch. Some of the best ranch in all of Nashville.

TLDR - disappointed with staff response to several issues including drinks spilled on us and moldy…read morefood. Ate at this m.l. rose location on Saturday 5/16/26 about 3:30 pm. Wasn't very busy. Several things occurred during my visit that demonstrated a general attitude of carelessness from the staff at all levels. 1. Server spills beer on a member of our party. 2. My wife's burger unexpectedly has half a chicken tender buried inside. 3. The bun on my burger was moldy. I accept that we could have just happened to be the unlucky table on an off day at a restaurant. But I am highly unsatisfied with the response from the staff. After delivering our food, we could not locate our server for 10+ minutes and had to leave our table to find a different staff member to inform them of the issues with our food. Everyone else had already finished their food before the moldy bun was addressed. Someone who appeared to be a manager came and explained they must have used an old bun by mistake because they received a new shipment of buns that day. He took the original plate away and after walking halfway to the kitchen turned around and asked "you want the same thing again?" Which I responded yes as no other option was presented. At that point I assumed my burger would be comped (spoiler it was not) and we waited 15 more minutes for my second burger. When the server delivered the second burger he asked if I wanted to order (and pay for) a drink to help me forget about everything that had happened. I declined. The new food was fine. I wish I had declined the replacement burger and just asked for it to be removed from the bill. Speaking of the bill, it seemed to be the only thing receiving adequate attention as it did include every item at full price. Maybe it was foolish of me to expect anything else. I'm not one to complain or write a bad review. I was about to remove the moldy top bun from my burger and eat the rest without a word before the other members of my party stopped me. But once I encountered this level of apathy from the service to the kitchen and all the way to management, I felt like I had share my experience so others can make an informed decision before they drop $60 on what might be the worst lunch of their lives. I created this yelp account and signed in to google 20 times in order to post this review. On a positive note the other members of my party did enjoy the beers and commented on a good selection to choose from.

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.

Last time I was here I enjoyed the food and was looking forward to eating here again. I order and wait. I see my food go by and land in front of a guy seated down the bar from me. He looks at it, eats a waffle fry, picks up the top bun, gets in close, and realizes it's not what he ordered. He calls the bartender over and tells her that it isn't his order. Guess what happens next??? She goes to hand me the handled food. I promptly decline. "Dude put his hands all over it", I said. Then the male bartender decided to double down and come at me with the burger again and announced it to me like I misunderstood what she had in her hand the first time. I explained that's nasty and politely excused myself from the vicinity. Yuck on you! Plus, I was on Elon's clock at the charger. $.50 a min after full. Gotta go! '26 - 82

I am of course talking about arriving in a new city and embarking on a quest to find the best burger. In Nashville burger lover circles, Grillshack is often noted as one of the establishments. It's been here in East Nashville since the year 2013. Yes, same year when Breaking Bad came out and when Miley Cyrus twerked on the award stage. The spot is ran by a husband and wife duo Steve and Susan Richter, with a focus on locally sourced ingredients like locally baked buns from Charpier's Bakery and ingredients from Bear Creek Farm. The burger is executed in a highly classic way, with only the cheese, the meat and the bun combined, with all else on the side. The result is a fairly small, enjoyable burger, but with a very heavy bread to meat proportion (that is a matter of preference). The meat is a bit in the drier side and not particularly rich in flavor, but the burger is well composed and does not fall apart. There are a few tables outside to sit under a covered area and enjoy an American classic. In other words, Grillshack is a staple neighborhood local joint for those in the know and those who have a particular like towards this style: bread heavy, minimalistic and dry crispy texture to the meat. Not necessarily all bad things, but a matter of preference.
