My husband and I stopped in here one evening while waiting for our son to finish his Jiu Jitsu class next door. I had the Mojito Lime Chicken Burger and my husband ordered an Irish Whiskey Burger. We loved how unique it was that they branded the top bun, it's a fun touch. My burger was alright but wouldn't order it again, it was missing that "oomph" factor. The Sweet Potato Fries were the sweet kind, not the savory kind, and they were tasty. My husband said his burger was great and perfectly cooked, he didn't care for the Sweet Potato Fries because he doesn't like them that sweet. This place has a pretty good beer list, which i enjoyed. They were pretty busy and there was only one guy in the kitchen and one waitress, short staffed indeed! So, regardless of the wait time (which was understandable) it was a nice little find. They have a pretty good menu with mostly-Irish themed food. read more

Great burgers cooked just the way you like it. Full bar so one can enjoy their favorite libation with their burger. The staff is friendly and service is excellent. It does have some outdoor seating on the side. read more

First, I'll start by saying all of my previous visits resulted in good food and good service. Today was different. I'm guessing it is because there was a whole new staff I never saw before. When we walked in, there were two college-aged guys watching baseball at the bar when we walked in. both were drinking something and eating. Upon making our order, one of the kids watching baseball got up to start working in the kitchen. After he entered the KITCHEN AREA, he ate a piece of food from the tray he was eating from at the bar. THIS IS THE GUY WHO WAS ABOUT TO HELP MAKE OUR FOOD! When the college aged guy wad done working in the kitchen , he walked back to his seat at the bar and and took some freshly made food back with him and continued drinking and eating with his buddy. As they watched baseball, they became extremely loud and obnoxious. When their team did something well, they began clapping and yelling very loudly. I think they were actually trying be noticed, or they were drunk. But it gets better. A young guy walked in who looked like he was in high school. he wore a T-shirt with big bold letters on the front that said "Kinky as F***k" on it. He said high to all the employees who were working there then keyed his login into the cash register. A couple of minutes later he walked to a vehicle in the parking lot with one of the waitresses who was working. Then two college-aged women walked in and hugged the college aged guys watching the baseball game at the bar. i knew it was about to get worse, so my wife and I immediately left. IT WAS AN AWFUL EXEERIENCE. i will not be back until that wait staff is replaced. AWFUL! read more

I've spotted the food truck around the breweries and finally had the chance to have a burger from it while it was at Garage Brewing and I was totally blown away with how delicious it was! (Sorry for the extremely long sentence). I still remember, I had the Irish Carbomb, which I learned that you don't say when you go to Ireland. The patties they use taste fresh, not frozen and it's a hand pressed soft patty, not a hockey puck cookie cutter type. Juices were definitely there and the flavor was shot from a cannon like a daredevil flying across the Grand Canyon! I stopped by the brick and mortar in Chesapeake and had the same experience. The burger didn't disappoint at all and I left full, not fluffy.... Ya know, where you really feel like you made the mistake of wearing jeans and not sweatpants when you visit a place. I washed my Jalapeno Heat Burger down with some Guinness as it should be. The Ruby brew of the motherland took me back to the fields of green that are so gorgeous. Body for being such a tiny place, tucked into the end cap of a strip, it's we'll put together. The fella that was dishing out the tasty stuff was speedy and to the point. The food was excellent, but I'll have to return for some Cornbeef & Cabbage since they were out when we visited. The tables were made of slabs of wood that can hardly hold two plates but that just gives it more charm. I'll definitely visit again and can't wait to explore more of their menu! read more

The owner/manager should be ashamed! The Men's bathroom was one of the worse I've ever seen! (worse than gas stations) There was feces splattered all over the toilet including the reservoir. The sink was disgusting. My shoes were sticking to the floor. Very obvious that this bathroom hasn't been cleaned in a very long time. When I walked out, the store room door was open. Again disgusting! As I was walking out 2 employees were just standing around and joking, They should have been cleaning. I can imagine what the kitchen looked like! read more

Sorry, no photo. Will definitely take one next time. These half pound grass fed burgers are no joke. I cut mine in half to keep the rest for dinner. Cooked perfectly as ordered. The branded brioche bun added some fun. The fries were also very good. Atmosphere was friendly and casual. The games were on the tele. Service was also very attentive. If you are a burger aficionado, it is a must try. read more

It's a decent spot, the service was great. However, after waiting for 30 minutes...the burgers were over cooked & the cheesy fries came without cheese & were fairly cold. Waited for cheese, but it was being warmed & never came so decided to skip it. The fry sauce however was the best part of the meal, it really helped to get the burger down. read more

OMG how surprised we were to find this place. The burgers were amazing and delicious. I just can't say enough good things about this place. The beer was good and cold. We will be back to eat there. Wonderful recommendations by our waiter or he could have been manager, but he could tell we had never eaten there before. The top of the burger bun had a brand of the restaurant name on it. So cool. I highly recommend. read more

Good food. Good service. Dive bar kind of atmosphere but family friendly. Prices were on the high side for burgers.

Have been going here since it opened, now in 2022 the quality of food and spirit of the environment remain unchanged. Still sets the Bar for other Burgers. #WHISKEYBURGER read more

I ordered the cheese chips. First complaint is that they seemed old, or maybe the cheese was. But it's not beer cheese. It's warm nacho cheese consistency. I ordered a soda and it was pretty flat. My boyfriend ordered a beer and it was seriously old and flat. But they were happy to give us another. I then ordered the classic Caesar salad, and the dressing was fantastic, the salad was old. Very flimsy and hard to get with a fork. My boyfriend ordered the mushroom Swiss burger. It was cooked perfectly, but the fresh ingredients weren't so tasty. (Lettuce, and tomato.) He skipped the onion. I think if we come back, we will try the Nags Head location instead. read more

Stumbled onto this spot when in search of yummy burger at the rare request of my wife (I am a fan of great burgers, but my wife...not so much!). So I was happy to discover some great reviews of a local burger joint on Yelp. As we entered the burger joint, it was pretty empty, but we ventured forward in our mission. We were placed at a tiny two seater table top and were perusing the menu and were surprised to see $15 burgers in a place that looked pretty basic. My wife's original request for a black & blue burger was not to be found. At the steep price of the burgers, we decided we would share one, along with an order of fries (neither of us are big eaters). The American Burgers was a good size and the meat was high quality and grilled to perfection. The only thing that did not thrill me was the bun, which tasted a little stale. However, the seasoned fries made up for it. When we requested pickles for our burgers, the friendly waitress brought us a plate of slices kosher pickles. They were crisp and crunchy! By the time we had consumed our meal, the place had started filling up and we agreed that we'd return again in the future. We both enjoyed both our burger and fries. We look forward to testing out some of the other options on their menu sometime soon. read more

Today we ate at this little burger joint nestled away in a lil strip of shops. Glad we did. Excellent burgers. Has to be in the top 5 burger joints in Hampton Roads area. We had the Irish Burger, the Luck of the Irish Burger and a BLT Dog, Frief pickles for appetizer. And it was all delicious. read more

A friend recommended this little burger joint to me. This diamond in the rough has a special staff that are an absolute delight and eager to provide an enjoyable experience. The burgers we had were wonderful; perfectly cooked and succulent. Prices are on the high side but you get what you pay for here and I was not let down; quality burger meat = quality burger. Only real complaint was the temperature. It was warm inside. read more

Hubby & I wanted burgers and decided based on reviews to try McGraths Burger Shack. I hate doing takeout because typically the fries are cold before we get home and that was definitely the case here. The burger was pretty good just a little too pink for my liking so next time I will ask for well done since medium well was rare. My husband wasn't impressed either with his burger but his burger was less pink than mine so he was able to finish his burger. I will say the order was ready for me when I arrived, the bbq sauce they serve was delicious! The guy at the counter was super nice so I will try it again just maybe not takeout. They did offer military discount which is nice as well! read more

Great local spot! Cool menu, good burgers, great service! Front line kinda says it all. But crowd was healthy for a Saturday evening. Good, clean atmosphere. Enjoyed the menu. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE REUBEN SPRING ROLLS! I've never had anything like them. Full menu of Irish burgers, American burgers, chicken burgers, veggie burgers, and kids menu. Good beer options on-tap. Service was great! Not super crowded, so service was attentive. Very friendly. I'll definitely be back! read more

Food and service was awesome. Would come again with the family. I went during the afternoon so it's was quit which is not bad read more

Ordered dinner for 5 there last night for the first time this year and it was again, delicious! The buns are back to the super yummy buns and make eating the BIG burger even better! Love the garlic fries. Fried pickles and mozzarella sticks were yummy. Only complaint would be they forgot our appetizer sauces... otherwise, fantastic and the best burger in town! read more

The Irish Car Bomb was amazing!!!! Our first time here and oh my gosh - YES. The service was great too. We will come back

Located across from Dominion Power in great bridge. (I overheard a customer saying they could not find the restaurant on Google maps, so use the address for Dominion Power) Burgers are served with fries and there is a rather large selection of burgers. They also serve chicken burgers and beyond burgers but let's face it if I am going to a burger spot I am getting a burger with red meat ! They serve Pepsi products which is a solid choice for this Pepsi lover. Did not taste any seasoning on the burger meat, not sure if that is a oversight or so you can taste the quality of the meat, which is real good and juicy. I ordered medium well and it was a perfect medium well. Upon asking I found out they use Guinness beer to season the meat, I would suggest using alittle more seasoning myself but the beef quality was great and tasted very "beefy". The bun was a little soggy on the bottom, but once I removed all the lettuce and onions it was OK. Fries taste like an afterthought, they werent crispy, kinda taste undercooked to me. But that is probably more of a taste choice then a product issue. All in all it's a solid choice for a burger. They had some Irish burgers on the menu, I may try one of those next time. read more

This review is based entirely on my experience with a delivery order. I placed the order on grub hub and then an hour later I get a call from grub hub telling me the restaurant is closed and that they couldn't get an answer. They should have contacted Grubhub about canceling the order so someone doesn't end up at 8:30 at night trying to figure out dinner with a freshly broken arm. They also should have stopped accepting orders if they were closing. May give them another shot one day and I'll adjust accordingly. read more

The food and drinks are decent enough, but the atmosphere is what brings the rating down. It's not well ventilated so all of the customers and staff were visibly uncomfortable in the stuffy heat. The table was kind of sticky when we sat down. The staff didn't seem overly happy to see us when we first walked in, but their spirits seemed to pick up slightly as more customers came in. I had an Irish summer cocktail: I was hoping for something more sweet and refreshing since it was so hot inside, but all of the strawberry, lemonade, and basil flavors were a little weak to be honest. I got the Jalapeno Heat burger--it's part of my initiative to make myself a stronger human by becoming a chilihead. Anyway, I'm still very weak so I'll be fair and tell you that I think the burger was probably very good! (I don't know for sure because my mouth very quickly went numb from the spice haha). I thought the beef patty itself was good quality; the bun was really good (although I kinda wish they didn't brand it because the burn mark kinda smelled weird whenever I leaned in for another bite); the Jalapeno slices were nice and fresh (and hot!); and the Sriracha sauce contributed even more heat but the flavor was good and a little sweet. My husband got the Irish Whiskey burger and he said it was good. Hahaha. All in all, it was pretty good food, but I wish they'd get a better A/C! read more

Wonderful find in Great Bridge. Second time visiting and we were again enjoying great burgers! Service was excellent and the tables were filling up as we departed. read more

Wonderful experience. Clean environment, great food I can't recommend enough. Employees and owner are very friendly.

Great burgers! They are huge, cooked perfectly to order. Love the fries. Cool staff. Very nice and helpful!

Went here with my father in law today having gone here previously 3-4 x's with all great experiences. We were not disappointed. The burgers were tasty and medium just as we asked and I would give them a 8.5/10. The fries were amazing and onion rings were 8/10 which is my rating of "good". The appetizer "Large Mozarella Sticks" were larger than the normal sticks and uniquely crispy on the outside. I would rate those 10/10 better than any others I've had in any restaurant in VA Beach. Staff/servers were helpful and very pleasant/accommodating. Atmosphere is not the greatest and bathrooms less than desirable but that's not why we came here. I will come again and recommend it as a great burger place. read more

Found this hidden gem on yelp. Never been before but we will be back again. Good food and great service!

We were exploring new restaurants around us and we decided to try the first restaurant we passed that we have not tried. While the serve was friendly, the food was not good. It was not terrible or inedible but it was not good. My daughter could not finish the chicken tenders and the burger I got... the meat was okay but the bread was stale and burnt to the point, it was a cracker. The nice waitress offered to refund the money but I did eat the meat so I am not the type to not pay for what I eat. If it was inedible, I would have taken her up on the offer. However, do I recommend the restaurant... no. read more

Great hole in the wall hamburger joint off battlefield blvd. In a small shopping center. Small and cozy with high top tables and a few bar seats. Beer, wine and liquor avail. I've been there twice. And have enjoyed the patty melt which they do not have anymore. So sad! And also the mc Grath cheeseburger with steak fries. Very delicious and filling. Each burger in is stamped with their logo. Great meal after visiting the brewery right down the street. If you are a sport nut they do have a few big screens inside. Drinks are very tasty as well. Clean inside. Owner is usually there Helping out and talking to patrons. Worth taking a trip to go and enjoy a family owned business. read more

There's a lot of places in the world to get a burger, if you call yourself a burger place it's got to be pretty good. Besides having the name of the place pressed into the bun, there was nothing special here. I don't drink, but if you do, it's probably more of a place for you. read more

Doesn't look like much when you drive by but this end of the shopping center is worth the stop. The burgers are delicious and the environment is relaxing and awesome! The staff is friendly, the dining area and bar are clean, and we will be coming back! read more

Found this place on the way back from OBX. Fantastic burgers and fries! We had the mushroom and swiss burger. Fast, friendly and super yummy! read more

Wow! My son took me here for take out the other day. In-house dining is currently closed. I ordered the Car Bomb burger, medium with fries. It was a short wait while our burgers cooked, and then we took them home in cute carry out boxes. The burger was delicious! The bread roll had jut the right crunch on the outside, and soft buttery flavor on the inside. The burger with onions was probably the best burger I've ever had in my long life! I'm already looking forward to visiting this place again!! The fries were thick and salty. There were more friends than I could eat! read more

Not as great as I had hoped. We ordered the Cajun Chicken Burger- no Cajun seasoning and the chicken was not as flavorful. The fries were great. Also got charged much more than ($5) what was advertised online. I could have understood with the price increase if clearly conveyed. read more

The place is small a dirty with an unswept floor and food scraps on the concrete next to a rag on the floor next to an uncovered trash can. The bathroom is also dirty. The service is agonizingly slow. The burger is good but not worth the wait and the dirty ambience. There were 2 of us. Each orders burgers. One was delayed. Cannot recommend. Just an all around unpleasant experience read more

Pros: Burgers tasted great, fries were well seasoned Cons: service was terrible. It took almost 15 mins to get our drinks and around 50 mins to get our food. Server never asked if we wanted another beer or another drink in general. Never got the appetizer we ordered. Our burgers were over cooked. We ordered two mediums and one medium well, all were well done. The beer was kind of flat but still tasty. Not sure if I would go back, but if I did it would probably be take out. Even then, it looked like a customer that was there that had a to go order wasn't very happy. read more
