After leaving a mid-week show, we were struggling to find a place to sit down and eat at 10 pm at night. Lucky for us, Urban Stack was still serving. Not only serving, but serving cheerfully! So many times you walk into a place at that hour and feel very unwelcome. Quite the opposite here. This was our 2nd visit and as good as the first. Gotta love consistency. Great, yummy, eclectic burgers. I have forgotten the name of the burger I ordered, but it was to die for .... Gourmet Bacon Cheese, I think .... it has a nice little kick of some spicy roumelade and bleu cheese. Yum! My pet peeve ... when a server calls us "you guys". It sets my teeth on edge. Well, our server/bartender/gal sweetly says "y'all" and you feel like you're truly welcome! I can deal with that! Comfort food, comfortable surroundings, courteous service. read more

They are just okay, in my opinion. The burgers are a nice size, but the taste is just okay. Cool location downtown.

Out of this world burgers along with chipotle ketchup and spicy homemade pickles. Great vibe along with beer & whiskey flights.

I was pleasantly surprised with my lamb burger and sweet potato fries at Urban Stack. I am in Chattanooga every week for work so it's fun to try a new spot at least once a week. Urban Stack did not disappoint, this was definitely the best lamb burger I've ever had. The tapenade and feta spread were also delicious and added to the flavors. Sweet potato fries are pretty good, though I've had better. It was packed on a Wednesday so also a good sign. read more

This place is solid when you've been struck by a craving for a great burger. The Strauss and the Jive Turkey are my go-to's, but pretty much everything is amazing. Can't go wrong with bacon, avocado, and an egg on anything! The buns are from another southside establishment, and are almost like a giant yeast roll. The home-made pickles are pretty unique. Their French onion soup and whiskey smashes are two other things I will stop in for! read more

The burgers were absolutely delicious, but the cole slaw and corn sides weren't quite as nice. However, our queso and chips appetizer was very hot, perfectly spicy, and exceeded most cheese dip expectations. Would get a full five stars if the main dish sides received more attention! read more

This is a most go to place for a stupid amazing burgers!!!! So far the best burger I've tried living in Chattanooga. Been here for just over a year now!!! And oh man the drinks!?! FTW!!! This place is always packed and for a good reason. I recommend this to anyone that want a crazy yummy mix drink/beer on tap or an amazing cheeseburger!!! Best ingredients. Super quality everything. A must for taking the special someone too :) treat yourself read more

Absolutely a great place to eat in Chattanooga! This is cool upscale burger joint with a hip vibe that makes it worth the wait for a table. To start with USBL has a great selection of local craft beers available by the pitcher, adding to the occasion if you are visiting the area. The House Made Pickle Plate is an amazingly fresh and flavorful appetizer, showcasing the real taste of the pickling spices such as bay leaf, black pepper etc. Another interesting appetizer was the fried chickpeas, these spicy little babies went great with the pitcher of dark beer we had to start with. Urban Stack has a pretty big menu of burger styles, and they have two different vegetarian patty options. I went with New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburger with a spicy veggie patty, it included Roasted green chilies, cheese, great pickled red onions, lettuce, and tomato. A very good vegetarian option. The rest of the table went with different Urban Classics, and everyone's plate was cleaned. No room for dessert this trip, maybe next time! read more

We were just passing through town & due to the other reviews decided to take a chance on this place. It was great! The hubs had the Jive Turkey which he said was very good. I had the chef salad- I know, 2 non burger dishes in a burger joint. Regardless, both were delicious! Whether you live in Chattanooga, are vacationing here or just passing through, this place is on time. read more

A great burger in Chattanooga! Urban Stack ... You're not gonna go wrong at this place. Great concepts if you go classic burgers or specialty. Fresh and tasty. With surprises in every bite. My latest burger review ... check it out. https://beautimousburger.wordpress.com/2018/02/27/urban-stack-chattanooga-burger-and-city-surprises-abound/ read more

I visited Urban Stack on a Sat afternoon. It has a really cool industrial feel, but parking is an irritation as it is all street-side. The bar is cool, featuring great drinks and a healthy beer list. Burgers are very nice (great ingredients, creative structuring), but note that you are not paying for a big sammich...definitely worth a visit! read more

very good discovery on our trip to Chattanooga. Great burgers, two choices for my vegan spouse, which was great. excellent beer selections, and tons of bourbons and whiskeys. Service was excellent, food was terrific. Would definitely go there again if we lived here in town. read more

My daughter was craving a hamburger on our recent trip to Chattanooga, and this place was perfect! There was ample parking by meter outside. The interior was cool and dark, a welcome from the blistering heat. We ordered a Big Mike for her and a mushroom melt for me and a plate of onion rings to split. The burgers were moist and flavorful. The onion rings were lacking a bit, but honestly, it didn't matter because we really didn't have room for them. Service was excellent. read more

See all

Great atmosphere, helpful and welcoming staff, serious about Gluten Free offerings, including beer. Everyone in our party loved the menu offerings and they delivered with the quality of the food. They offering assistance with customizing anything to GF if it is possible and...everything we had was excellent! Our waiter said they went thru 8 different GF buns before deciding on the right one, and their effort paid off. Fries were excellent. They focus on quality local ingredients - they really check all of the boxes! read more

Burgers are just the best! Creative and constantly bringing new flavors and ideas to the burger table as well as the entire menu. The cocktails are super yum as well! read more

The spicy black bean burger is the best! I'm not a vegetarian and I love a good burger but every time I have to get the black bean burger - it's just that good. They offer a good beer & whiskey selection to compliment your burgers. The Creamed Gouda Corn is a fantastic side. read more

Love this place. Great food, prices are good. Bologna sliders are the best !!!!! We love this place and will def come back to try more !!!!

Excellent burgers. Fast service. Good for kids; good kids menu.

Loved this place while visiting Chattanooga recently. We met Tyler, the GM who was the best, really. Gave us the history of the building and went over the menu with us. To our regret, we ate before we got there, so my review is based on the service we received and the cocktails we enjoyed. We ended up running into Tyler later that day and he couldn't have been nicer. Look forward to returning! read more

Awesome place to grab lunch! Basically a scratch kitchen so even as vegetarians we had no problems - I made up an avocado burger and my husband had the veggie patty burger and kale salad. read more

Urban Stack - Great atmosphere! - Burgers Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Urban stack is a great burger joint. I had the lamb burger and the sauces that came on top were to die for. My husband had the guacamole burger which they are now added to their menu for good, and he loved it. Our waiter was very helpful since we had never been and was way to talk to! If you are visiting Chattanooga, this is the burger joint you must hit up! read more

Urban Stack is super popular in Chattanooga. Honestly I don't eat here much, and its not my favorite place, but tons of Chattanoogans swear by it. The burgers are not super pricey for how big they are! I usually stick to the fried green tomato burger which is SUPER tasty, but I actually asked to have it without bacon and it was still fantastic. I do not eat red meat, but this place has a few veggie options and a bunch of chicken options. The chicken burgers are usually a little underwhelming but that's your own fault for expecting fantastic chicken at a burger joint. As far as actual burgers, my friends and family will usually order anything and love it. Super chill atmosphere, and great service! (They gave us a free birthday milkshake as a surprise! Super sweet.) Don't know anything about sports but I hear and assume this is a great casual place to pig out and watch a game? Overall, 4/5 stars! read more

The burgers are excellent and that's really the only reason you need to go here but if you do need something else....Hot Pimento Cheese Dip.

Went here for dinner on a Friday night while in Chattanooga. It was so good, we almost went back the next night too. The wait was about 10 minutes, but we arrived late (around 9:00) and the place was still packed. Service was fast, and prices were good... but the amazing part was the food. They proudly say in the menu that they use only grass fed meat, free range chicken, and other high quality products. Normally, my wife and I aren't really into that stuff, but the difference in the taste was definitely noticeable. The burgers were amazing, and they had 12 to 15 different varieties to choose from - I got an Italian style burger with fried salami and cheese on top. You could also get any of those choices with a 6 ounce chicken breast, and they offer a lettuce wrap instead of a bun for those who want gluten free or low carb options. We had chicken wings for an appetizer (they are grilled instead of fried). They came with some amazing, spicy pickled veggies instead of the usual celery sticks and the dips were amazing. The blue cheese dip is homemade (and orange because there are no dyes) - best I've ever had. My wife has the farmer's dinner salad with chicken breast. The salad was full of amazing, fresh fruits and veggies - it had greens, of course but also asparagus, beets, strawberries, fresh sweet corn, sugar snap peas and red peppers, and the strawberry balsamic vinaigrette was delicious. Even if there is a wait, I highly recommend this place and we'll go back again when we are in Chattanooga. read more

Let me say that I have been to Urban Stack several times now and have never been disappointed. They serve premium burgers using high quality ingredients. Their menu has several different types of burgers that should satisfy just about anyone. Burgers are tasty and filling. This the premier place to go in Chattanooga when you need a burger fix. read more

Awesome house chef salad with generous toppings. Took longer than expected for 3 salads...and they weren't that busy. I'm giving it four stars based on wait time on a slow day and some wimpy wilted greens in the salad. Overall good experience, I would get another salad, but I think I need to try a burger since that's their claim to fame. read more

First time amazing, second time tried a different burger (not as good as the first), third time re-ordered burger from initial visit...not consistent read more

Good food with a great vibe. Burgers are fantastic. Dirty bird is a bit too spicy and onion rings are so so - a bit dry. Overall, a good one for a quick bite. read more

The food is always good as well as the drinks; they have an expansive bourbon selection. Sometimes the service can be a little poor, otherwise I would have given a 5 star rating. The salads are fresh and filling and the sandwiches are always flavorful and cooked to perfection. Try to sit in the bar area or on the patio for the best environment. read more

This is a safe be in C-town. Good food, good drinks, laid back atmosphere. Yes, they take what they offer seriously, but they don't put on airs about it. Expect well executed dishes and great drinks. Don't forget to ask about the ice cream...(it's made across the street)! read more

While visiting Chattanooga I found Urban Stack on Yelp. I was craving a burger and ended up getting the lamb burger in a lettuce wrap. It was delicious! I also got a Moscow Mule, which was on point! Great place! read more

We went to Urban Stack based on recommendations of multiple friends. I am SO glad we went. The service was fantastic and the outside patio was lovely. I ordered the Chicago burger and my partner had the bacon cheeseburger. We got the hot pimento cheese for an app, I was a bit underwhelmed but it was yummy. My burger was amazing and everything I had hoped for and more. Between the hot longs, bologna and the actual burger - to die for. Personally I wasn't a huge fan of the fries, but my partner was. The beer selection wasn't to my taste so I got a manhattan with Chattanooga Whiskey, once again, not my favorite but it was fine. Overall, we will be back next time we get to Chattanooga. read more

Based on the burgers alone, this place is easily 4.5 stars. But add other things in and it knocks it down to 3.5, but I'll round up. We had the pimento cheese dip for starters. It was good, but not lick the bowl good. Next, the burgers...I had the Asian Q and my boyfriend had the Gourmet Bacon Cheeseburger. Both were made with the Kobe beef and quite excellent. Like everyone else said aslo, you gotta try the chipotle ketchup. Love the atmosphere and loved the whiskey/bourbon selection, they had every kind you could think of. Ok now, let's get into the negatives. The drinks are WAY overpriced! $6 for a beer?! Whiskey drinks are $9 plus. I saw ONE on the drink menu that was $6. And they don't give you much for that price! Next...the fries were crazy salty. I'm the type of person who puts salt on salt and these were about to salty for me. If they hadn't been too salty though, they would've been good. Next time, I'd like to try the sweet potato fries :) All in all, it is a place worth returning to and trying different burgers. I know some people complained about the food being pricey (which yes, it is) but everything they use is locally grown. I support local, so I'll easily pay an extra $2 for a burger that uses all local resources. Not so much for the drinks though... read more

This food was so good. The s'mores milkshake was unreal. If I lived near there I would eat there weekly.

I stumbled upon this place when the restaurant I planned to go to was closed. Well, it was a pleasant find. There's a certain feel-good factor knowing that the ingredients came from local farms and bakeries. The prices were not too bad IMO. A basic Angus burger was $7, as it gets fancier with different topping combinations, the price goes up $1 to 2. There's an option to get Wagu burger instead for $3 extra - never had it before, so I springed for it. The burger was hot, juicy and tasty. Burgers were not WOW, but very decent handcrafted quality. I don't know how much better the Wagu version was better than the standard Angus, maybe I'll go back next time for Angus. For those who are among the non-beef eating crowd, not to worry as there are turkey and vege burgers on the menu as well. I also had the salad (don't remember the name but it had fresh corn, strawberries, peas, etc.) and was very impressed. All the ingredients were extremely fresh, portion size was good, good mixing of vege variety. In fact, anywhere else, this salad would fetchy 3x the price easily - can't believe I'm this thrilled about a salad in a burger joint. Another bonus find for me were the pickles. It's the home pickled variety - I was addicted. Anyways, I'm giving a big thumbs up!! read more

The pimento cheese dip appetizer was good and enough for 4 people but it not worth $9. The gourmet bacon cheeseburger was very good; the compote was excellent, the burger was perfectly cooked, the bun and condiments were all spot on except for the blue cheese. The blue cheese would overpower everything else at times and could be scaled back some. read more

Okay, the burgers, sides and drinks are all 5 star worthy. The food is AMAZING. I loved it. I am craving the gouda and corn side constantly since I've had it. The only reason I gave the place 4 stars is the bourbon drink (which tasted great) was $8 for like 3 sips. It was way overpriced for such a small drink. Double the drink sizes (or maybe triple) and I will be one happy girl! read more

Cool vibe, great burger and onion rings! Pretty packed for 3 pm on a Sunday afternoon. We ate at the bar....attentive bartender. Great meal! Comfortable...seemed like the staff had some good teamwork going! read more

Really unacceptably slow service, getting 3/4 of our order after 55 minutes followed by the final burger 7 minutes later with no explanation or apology. Super hungry then, so ate what turned out to be a cold over-cooked burger. These were hands down the worst burgers we've EVER had. I do not recommend the Urban Stack. read more

One word, OUTSTANDING! We traveled from Nashville to Chattanooga to visit my wife's brother at UTC. A few days prior a friend of ours insisted we tried this place. I had some reservations suggesting it because we knew he was excited about our visit and knew he would have a fun day planned. But after reviewing Urban Stacks menu online I couldn't fight back the urge to speak up and THANK GOD I DID!!! To start with, arriving at this place is your typical newly renovated warehouse with all the architectural elements you may find; exposed wood, industrial metal, grey colors, with cool Edison bulbs and other industrial likings, I had high hopes from the start. We were greeted and seated promptly, maybe because it was Saturday around 1, but either way things were looking good. We were given a seasonal beer list and the bourbon list lived on the table. Myself, I opted for a locally crafted brew from Chattanooga Brewery called Urban Bourbon (aged in Corsair barrels, TASTY!), my wife had their Makers & Ginger (in house ginger syrup), and my brother in law had Bacon Manhattan (with Benton's Bacon, UH YES PLEASE!). Every drink at the table was delicious, expensive BUT tasty. Then came time for us to order; I ordered the Asian Q made with Wagyu beef, my wife and brother in law opted for the Gourmet Bacon Cheeseburger with a blue cheese spread and melted Gruyere cheese, my sister in law had their Farmhouse Salad, and my wife's brother had the Good Day, Sunshine burger. Every burger was simply outstanding. Wagyu beef takes the burger to a different level with a significant amount of yummy juices flowing from these burgers. On my wife's burger, the combo of blue cheese, gruyere cheese, and Bentons bacon was heavenly! I didn't get to sample the salad or the sunshine burger but given their expressions they were nearly speechless. Since none of their burgers come with sides (one downfall since the burger prices alone averaged 8-10 per burger). Add a side and your nearly up to a $15 plate just for a burger. And to that, YES we ordered a side. I had their onion rings, wifey had sweet potato fries, and everyone else had regular French fries. I don't know which was better, the sauce or the vessel used for the sauces. My onion rings came with a house made sauce which I won't even pretend to list it's mixture but it was yummy. And all else had the chipotle ketchup which was everything one could imagine; hearty, mildly sweet, smokey, with a lingering feeling of heat on the backend. Ketchup, yes, but kick ass, hell yes! After throwing in the towel and nearly licking my plate, I looked around and I was not alone in the idea of "would it be bad if I picked my plate up and licked it" thought! It was all that good! When presented the check, that's when I wanted to give it all back, LOL, JUST KIDDING! But seriously, it's not a cheap burger meal like you might think. But then again, everything is locally grown so that does come with a steep price tag. For me, my wife and our 16 month old daughter we shelled out nearly $60 after a tip. Much more then I bargained for but then again it was a special occasion visiting this city. Now, does this mean that if Nashville had a Urban Stack that I wouldn't go, of course not, I would be there nearly once a week! So my parting comments after all this, COME TO NASHVILLE AND BRING SOME OF THOSE KICK ASS BEERS WITH YOU! Thanks! read more
