Amazing burgers, great service, and stellar beer, what more could you ask for. Place was packed on a Friday night, but our party of 14 was seated quickly. Chipotle Slap Burger definitely slaps. It's juicy as all get out and they sweet potato fries; mmmm. They give you huge portions so go hungry. read more

Solid burgers and sides. The outdoor space is gorgeous and I definitely recommend sitting out there versus inside. The chipotle slap burger was very spicy, but good. The tater tots were super crispy and delicious! I love that they have lots of sauces to choose from. I'm a big sauce girl! They offer gluten free buns and that was great as well! read more

Nichole is our server and she is friendly, helpful and patient. I love the ambiance. We decided to sit outside and it's the perfect day. The food is amazing I had grilled chicken burger and my friends had the mushroom burger with tater tots, the Pharmacy burger with tater tots, and a grilled turkey burger with sweet potato fries. One of my friends also had the Oreo cookie milkshake, and she loved it! I would highly recommend this restaurant on McFarrin Avenue. It was really good and I will definitely be back. Also, I'd like to add that I cannot think how nice Nicole was as a server. I would give her 10 stars ********** if I could, she was excellent! Thank you for your service. read more

Overall, friendly staff, good burger and a lot of food, and a rustic interior. Food: for the price you get a pretty hefty burger and both me and my boyfriend couldn't finish our fries. You can make your own burger, or get one of theirs. The bratwurst was good too. Service: very quick, and nice. Didn't wait on refills and they have water pitchers on the table which is nice. Ambiance: they have a beer garden outside, but we sat inside and it was rustic. It would probably be loud at peak hours, but for us it was fine. I'll probably be back whenever I want a burger for a decent price in this economy. read more

From the bleachers, everyone was touting The Pharmacy Burger Parlor and Beer Garden the next iteration of CA's, Johnny Rockets; well, here in Nashville, TN, they might think so, but that comparison is a stretch for me. Was The Pharmacy great - No Was The Pharmacy bad - No It was good to middleton. My son and I both got their signature burger with fries and coleslaw. The burger was dry, yet tasty. The fries were very good and the coleslaw was excellent. Our Duval beers were ice cold and scrumptious. The staff was accommodating and very friendly. We left full and semi-happy! Johnny Rockets would have been a lovely walk down memory lane; but that did not happen, sorry to say! read more

It is such an odd place. They make amazing burgers and their own root beer!! The fries were delicious and the burger was cooked perfectly. I got the one with the egg on it. So good!! Our server was friendly and attentive and took great care of us. We enjoyed the decor and the atmosphere. Everything was different than I expected and wonderful because of it. read more

One of the best burgers in Nashville; their chipotle slap burger is perfection! I wish they sold bottles of the chipotle garlic aioli, so I could have it any time. It's got a little kick without being too hot and doesn't overpower the garlic. The burger was cooked perfectly with a little bit of a crispy exterior and a juicy middle, and the grilled jalapeños on top are the perfection addition of spice. They also have some of the best fries in town. We ordered some dusted in a sort of spicy seasoning and I've been thinking about them since we left the restaurant. The beer garden is the perfect summer night spot to get a draft beer and spend time with friends. Also the service is always great! read more

The Pharmacy is absolutely worth the hype. I love cream soda, so I tried their house-made version. It was incredibly unique and not like anything store-bought. It had a creamy, almost milky texture with a light lemony flavor that made it memorable. The Pharmacy Burger lived up to its reputation. It's a solid burger! Not a beef fan? They had other options like turkey burger, chicken, fried chicken, black bean burger, or impossible burger patty. Great options! They offered a ton of cheese, topping, and sauce options. The tater tots were a perfect addition to my burger, and we got a few different sauces to sample. Their ranch was solid, and we tried a couple different mustards. Everything was great. Service was great, it had laid-back vibes and friendly service, and it's easy to see why this place is a Nashville favorite. Definitely worth a stop! read more

We went here for a work event happy hour and dinner. The drink menu was impressive as well as the outdoor seating area. Maybe it was the size of our group that threw off the staff, but I was less impressed. They were snippy and kinda mean to our table.. thinking it might've been overwhelming to them? But this place was so hyped up that I had high expectations. Unfortunately I felt let down with a build your own burger bar that was hardly stocked. Maybe it'd be different if you came here for a full meal on your own dime ordering directly from the menu. read more

Trying something new. The vegan chicken with pepper jack cheese and crispy onions added on. This was soooo good! The same bun came on this sandwich as your favorite burger.

This is a great place to grab a Burger or Bratwurst and a beer. They have made from scratch sauces. They use locally sourced beef and use buns from the Frothy Monkey bakery. They have a full bar with local and imported beers, wines, soda shop, shakes and malts. The staff were very friendly and the food came out pretty fast. They have a few parking spots but it's mostly street parking. They also have a fenced in Beer Garden with outdoor shared tables. They serve Burgers, Chicken, Turkey, Handcut Fries, Tots, Wursts, Sides and Vegetarian options. This trip we just got Burgers but I want to go back and try the Bratwursts. I will do another review after I try the Wursts. To finish this review, my wife got this N/A drink called Egg Cream Soda and evidently it's popular in New York and up in that area. It's Chocolate Syrup, Whole Milk and Soda. It didn't sound good to me but she really liked it. She said it's kinda like a Rootbeer Float with a little spice. Check it out. read more

Absolutely love The Pharmacy! This place was one of the first restaurants recommended to us when we moved to Nashville, and it's been a favorite ever since. It's the perfect mix of casual, fun, and authentically local -- great burgers, great beer, and great people. The staff are always friendly, calm, and genuinely laid-back -- the kind of service that makes you feel right at home. Their beer selection is top-notch, served in those cool steins that make every pour feel special. The team really knows their stuff -- true beer connoisseurs without the attitude. And don't even get me started on their house-made sodas -- such a nostalgic touch and a total throwback in the best way. As for the food, it's phenomenal. The burgers are juicy, flavorful, and perfectly filling, and the fries are always crisp and addictive. I actually craved The Pharmacy constantly when I was pregnant -- and still love it just as much now! Their main East Nashville location has the perfect setup with indoor seating, outdoor space, and that breezy in-between patio that makes any meal feel relaxed and lively. I've even gone during a major snowstorm once -- it was one of the only spots open, and sharing a cozy meal there with friends visiting from Boston became one of my favorite Nashville memories. Whether you're stopping by solo, with family, or meeting friends, The Pharmacy is always a win. Grab a burger, sip a soda (or a local brew), and just enjoy. The only mistake you can make here is not going! read more

We came to The Pharmacy last weekend while in town to see a concert. It was reasonably close to our venue and I'd had it on my Nashville bookmarks for a long time, so it seemed an easy pick! Located in a cute, slightly more residential area along with a pocket of several other highly reviewed restaurants, parking was definitely a challenge on Friday. We found street parking about two blocks up, which we weren't mad about. Though several groups were milling about outside the restaurant, we didn't have to wait to be seated. We did agree to take a seat anywhere though, which wound up meaning we sat inside. We were totally fine with that, but I imagine the beer garden is a more popular destination and perhaps that's what others were waiting for. The interior is quite loud and bustling with activity. Again, not a problem for us, but something to be aware of before visiting. Our service was fairly prompt, warm, and good-natured. Our main waitress was agreeable to us paying as soon as we got our food so we could leave ASAP (concert to attend) and I really appreciated that. We were able to pay at our table via a card reading device she had on hand. On to the food -- My husband had the double, I had their take on a mushroom and Swiss, bro-in-law got the white oak bbq burger, and sis-in-law wound up with an order of beer cheese and chili fries. Hubs and I both got fries, BIL got tots. Hubs was the happiest, remarking he enjoyed his burger a lot. I didn't hear BIL say too much about his food though he did express that he liked the tots. He didn't finish the burger but he doesn't eat much beef usually so that may not indicate he didn't like it, plus the portions are very generous! As for me, I will say I was a tiny bit disappointed in my burger. I liked the soft bun it was served on, but I thought the meat was a little dry. I also wish there'd been a few more buttery mushrooms or gooey cheese to help balance out the relatively dry burger. I got ranch to dip my fries in but it was a little more herby and less buttermilk-y for my preference. That said, the serving size of fries is huge and they were quite tasty on their own -- I really enjoyed the fries! SIL didn't like the beer cheese and chili fries. She said the beer cheese and chili combo tasted weird together. She can be kind of picky but I wound up trying some out of curiosity and I have to say I agree. The combination was just a little odd -- something about the slight sourness of the beer cheese -- and the chili needed more beef and less tomato, in my opinion, as it was on the sweeter side. BIL and I also both got phosphates, The Pharmacy's housemade sodas. He got the Rickey and I wound up with the strawberry ginger on the recommendation of our waitress. We both enjoyed these very much! Super bright flavors and the perfect amount of fizz. I really wish half stars were allowed on Yelp because this is a comfortable 3.5 for me. I'd be willing to visit again and try other things -- the atmosphere is fun and I enjoyed the service. Our food was decent overall and I can easily see how it could've been great! I'd still recommend giving this place a try for yourself if you're interested and in the area. read more

so good!! i try to come here every time i'm in town. one of my favorite burgers anywhere

I've loved the pharmacy for so so so so long, we've been coming since 2010 or whenever they first opened. Every single time I've been (100+ times at least) I've ordered the stroganoff burger. Imagine the devastation when it was removed from the menu last year. Then imagine the pure joy when it returned. Then imagine the superdevastation when it gets removed again! It is genuinely tragic. Please bring back the stroganoff burger. I love it and this place...I'm literally sitting here at this exact moment. It sucks to see an East Nashville with a Starbucks, a Hattie B's, and no stroganoff burger. It's hurtful. However, our server is excellent and has the exact sort of snark and sarcasm that makes East Nashville great. And yeah the ambience rules and the patio is delightful on this sunny day. But still it would all be better if the stroganoff burger were on the menu. This would be five, or possibly even a million, stars if the stroganoff burger was back. Bring it back. Please bring it back. read more

Today I decided to try this restaurant and I'm not mad that I did! Off rip, the staff was extremely nice & the ambiance was very laid back. I opted to sit at the bar, but they have a really nice patio area as well. I ordered the turkey version of the pharmacy burger & chose sweet potato fries as my side. The only thing I'd change is not having the fries cook for so long; some of them were a little too tough. The burger itself was pretty good. Turkey burgers are usually a hit or miss for me, but this one was a hit! I also tried two different cocktails. The Amaro Palmer was like a spiked Arnold Palmer; I wasn't really fond of taste of the Amaro , but I can see this being a drink that someone would love. Now, the Tequila Lemon-aid was definitely a 10 for me! It was well balanced- not too sweet, not too tart. I wish I had gotten my bartender's name, but he is golden!!! Overall, I enjoyed my visit today & will definitely be back! read more

Pharmacy burger is a staple In Nashville and rated as the best burger spot by many many people that live in middle TN. The best? I'm not sure about that but I do understand the hype now. Place was jumping with so many people waiting for a table. The beer garden in the back is definitely a spot you can spend some time in to chill with friends. Chipotle smack burger was amazing. Tots over fries every day of the week as well. read more

Oh wow, Yelp says I should update, well fine! It's still the same, few are worthy to sample a burger menu as fantastic as this. Count yourself blessed to discover one of the biggest hits in the Nashville area and after trying burgers between Detroit, Miami, San Diego, Chicago, and Philly, ranking this in the top five as I made a video for! The crazy hype of any place having over 5,000 reviews on Google is not just a Starbuck's style fad. After two visits here, both large groups, dipped in halfway through a Saturday afternoon to find a twenty minute wait but no worries as a local brewery was offering full pints of their finest autumn ales. I had to go for a Oktoberfest and it did me real well. Check out my photos, the burger selection is too good for words. There is a casual easy craft here that makes everything way too right. It's an indulgence on flavor profiles and serving portions easily besting the best burger spots I've had across the Midwest. We all went for the good beef of course and few had any reason to complain. Besides of the patties came up as compared to the large round buns there's to be a huge patty to match. But that is totally fine by me as the toppings fit alongside each piece like a well-seasoned Sunday afternoon lazy family barbecue grill master might throw ingredients between buns. I found the jam-packed mushroom burger way too perfect and wish I could take this whole restaurant home with me and set it up in my backyard. Surprisingly the tap menu could not match the four options being served outside but that was fine seeing the throwback of phosphate drinks. Had one to go and it was fantastic, can highly recommend all vintage soda fountain options here! Well definitely have to come back and try more, this is easily the winning option for all Nashville. read more

It is just a COOL place. Fairly simple food option, with quality burgers. The old school charm of the main room along with ample patio beer garden set up is great.

This restaurant is a classic example of a spot that was once great for dine-in but was never built for takeout or delivery. They've always prioritized their interior atmosphere above everything else, which unfortunately shows in how they handle to-go orders. Instead of a proper pickup area, they make everyone wait at the back kitchen door behind the building. As you stand there, you get glimpses into a cramped, closet-like staging area for to-go bags. It's immediately clear the space also serves as a thoroughfare for garbage bags heading to the dumpster -- and you'll often see them being carried out while you wait. It's not a great first impression. Their famous (and expensive) specialty drinks, like the small milkshakes and Orange Creamsicle soda, are frequently forgotten. If you're picking up in person, you can remind them, but with delivery orders they're rarely included. Even when they do make it into the bag, you're left wondering how long the milkshake sat under the same heat lamps as the rest of the food. The staff's attitude toward delivery drivers is noticeably poor. They treat them (and by extension, customers relying on third-party delivery) as second-class, which is especially evident when drivers who are struggling with English try to report missing items. The whole system feels dismissive. To make matters worse, the staging area seems unsanitary or the back door light attracts bugs. On two separate evening orders, I've had a scurrying beetle crawl out of the tied delivery bag the moment I opened it. The food is boxed, so there's low risk of direct contact, but that's still far more worry than you should have at a boutique-priced burger spot. The food itself is mediocre. The tater tots taste like standard frozen grocery store brand, and the "spicy" upcharge feels excessive for what appears to be a light sprinkle of cayenne. Pre-COVID, this was a place locals proudly brought family and visitors. Now it mostly draws out-of-towners. Many of us locals have been turned off by how the restaurant clearly resents the shift to takeout and delivery that so many customers needed during the pandemic. The result is an experience that feels resentful rather than welcoming. read more

It was a great, mellow experience. Due to the menu being kinda limited, you don't have to worry about making hard decisions on what to order. The beer menu is pretty big. I encourage you to order a flight so you can try multiple at one time. read more

Very very good burger and fries. The chili is really good too, not a huge serving of chili, but the burger was better than expected.

This place has the best burgers in Nashville. Their house made phosphates are a wonderful treat which I enjoy each time we go. If you're in Nashville, you have to try it! It's a great place to eat if you're looking for an outdoor area and aren't looking to spend a ton of money. read more

The atmosphere is phenomenal; great outdoor seating with a bar area and the look of a well established establishment. They have lots of creative mixed drinks both with and without alcohol. Many I would have liked to try. I had the straganoff burger and while they mailed the straganoff flavor the burger the actual burger patties were a little dense and could have been frozen patties for all I know. Such great potential. Food came out extremely fast for how busy the place was; and the bartender had a smile and was very accommodating. Wish there was a little more attention paid to the burger patty itself as it is the main attraction of the menu. read more

I'm from out of town visiting Nashville and a friend recommended this wonderful place. I had the White Oak BBQ Burger which comes with house-made Coca-Cola BBQ sauce, smoked bbq onions, provolone, Gifford's bacon, crispy onion straws and pickle. What an amazing combination of flavors. The service here was attentive, friendly and the food came out in about five minutes. Parking was a little difficult as this area has a few popular hangouts and can get busy at times, but it was well worth the couple minutes it took to find a parking spot. If you're looking for a cool restaurant with a GREAT menu and friendly service I highly recommend checking this place out. read more
