This will undoubtedly be the longest review I have ever left. Jack Browns in Birmingham is an absolute gem. I came here for the first time late 2022/early 2023 and I have been back every week since. Food first: the burgers are unique and creative. I don't know of another place you can get quality waygu beef this cheap. The fries (sweet potato or regular) are a must so you can try their JB sauce. Fried oreos are the best way to top it all off. Second: the everyday beer selection is unmatched. Beer on draft is rotated every 2 or 3 days, while the everyday beer menu remains eclectic, yet reasonably priced. They do have ciders and a small selection of wine so there is certainly something for everybody. Last, but certainly not least: the staff is the best you could ask for. Longevity in the service industry is incredibly rare, yet many of the workers have been there for multiple years. Shout out to Taylor, Blaze, Nick, Elaine, Bmerk, Lorin, Sharlay, Issaac, Will, Daniel, and everybody else who's name I haven't gotten/can't think of (including the kitchen.) I love you all.

Service: 1/5 Food: 4/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 The best part, by far, are the perfectly-proportioned wagyu hamburgers, with unique and amazing ingredients. The atmosphere is what one can expect of growing Lakeview: hip, sticker-covered, and bras hanging from a disco ball. The worst part, by far, was the service. The hostess who took our cell to text us when our "about 30 minutes" wait wrote down the wrong number, then rudely told us that "We gave away your table after we waited for 10 minutes". We were ten feet from the door, waited 30 minutes, and then were rudely addressed with that comment when we asked how much longer. She didn't apologize, and brusquely informed us we'd get the next table. Once seated, our waitress took the order, and although they had 40+ canned beer selections with an amazing array of fruity colors and flavors, they didn't have Guinness. No big deal. Once the food arrived, 2 out of 4 burgers we're wrong, and the waitress assured us there was bacon and onions on our burgers, even after we showed her there weren't. She kindly volunteered to bring us some bacon. The bacon was great. We got a different waitress towards dessert, who was much cooler and more courteous. This place tried very hard to be cool, and ended up acting like a bunch of d*cks in the process. Order takeout, or better yet, go to Rojo a few minutes away.

We went 12/16/2025. We had a 15 minute wait but sat outside and chatted. The decor is Christmas themed currently but it has kind of a grungy fun bar vibe with bras hanging off the chandelier. The waitress/ bartender in the patio where we were seated was great and very friendly. I originally wanted to order the eggnog before realizing it was an IPA which I’m not usually a fan of. She went in the back and found this canned drink that was kind of eggnog / iced coffee flavored making her service a 6/5 for going out of her way to recommend something to me. I ordered the Elvis and fries. The burgers are not humongous but decent sized with the right proportion of bun, cheese, sauce, and toppings. Fries were also good, just not as great as the burger. My partner got the Dr. Gonzo which he describes as having a great flavor without needing sauce. The only point docked was that I was stepping in quite a lot of old fries from whoever sat at the table previously but again this is a burger bar and it was packed so still a 5/5 overall.

Went on a Saturday night before 5pm. No wait, for my husband and I. Be prepared for a wait depending in what time you go. It is a bar with music playing several places to sit inside but not huge. Our server was good and friendly. The burgers and fries are good. I got The Shocker and my husband got the burger with mac and cheese and bbq chips on it. He also got the sweet potato fries. The shocker is a spicy burger so if you like peppers and spice get it. They do not have regular toppings like tomato, lettuce, honey mustard, ranch, etc. They do have ketchup and mustard on the table. They have their own sauce which is kind of sweet. The burgers are a little on the smaller side. Drinks are all probably bottled or canned. My mountain dew came out in a glass bottle. It’s a cool little place. It’s a bar/restaurant. they had music playing which is fine but a little loud for my husband and I. I do recommend going and trying. They also have fried Oreos. They are good and come in a cute little container.

I have an addiction to JBs. It’s the perfect storm of tasty burgers (my favorite is a Dr Gonzo w/ jalepeños🤤), a wide selection of beers, the BEST SAUCE I’VE EVER HAD MADE FROM SCRATCH EVERY DAY, the options to sit outside under a roof with heaters or sit at the bar by yourself, then you can top it off with a fried oreo (or 2 or 4)??? Currently trying to talk myself out of going right this minute.

This was my manyth visit to Jack Brown's, and it's always as good as expected. Last night we stopped in late after seeing Black Joe Louis at Saturn. It was pretty busy in there for a Sunday night, but we were seated right away and service was quick. We got a Greg Brady, an Elvis and a Cowboy. French fries and sweet potato fries to share. Everything was really good and we devoured it all. We'll be back soon.
