My girlfriend and I went here on a rainy Wednesday evening.
Atmosphere: The space here is not overly large, but they make use of every square foot. The main dining area is one large room filled with dim lighting and music with a bar on the back wall. The counters and tables are butcher block style with metal finishings. There were multiple candles lit throughout the place which gave it a very homey and cozy feel. Some of the tables are family style, meaning you may or may not be sitting directly next to someone you don't know.
Food: I ordered the Woodstock with regular fries and she ordered the Ramsey Pimento Cheese Burger (pictured) with truffle fries. The burgers were cooked perfectly and were very delicious. The fries are wonderful, they have crispy crunchy edges which is my favorite. The only feedback we have is that we would not have guessed the cheese on the Ramsey burger was pimento cheese. It was delicious, but did not taste like pimento cheese.
Service: The service we experienced was very nice. We walked it and were given the option to sit at at able (family style) or near the window (which we chose). They were very busy that night and had every seat filled but our server was attentive, happily answered our questions, made recommendations, and made sure our drinks were always full. Even being packed the food did not take long to arrive.
Price: Being a craft burger restaurant, the prices where very reasonable, ranging from $11 - $16. Being a craft burger place some of the burgers are going to be slightly more than a burger at a regular restaurant, but they definitely make up for it it taste and quality.
Cleanliness: I was happily surprised with the cleanliness of this restaurant. Everything was kept very clean, both on and off the table. I actually noticed how clean the bathrooms were and how wonderful they smell. Normally the only think I notice about bathrooms is how dirty or un-kept they are. But this whole establishment...
Read moreFun urban vibe! Staff was extremely helpful and hospitable! The burgers are amazing! We ordered several different burgers which were all great. Great flavor combinations. The pimento burger was a delicious fun twist to a burger. The pimento complements the burger very well. Had the chili cheese burger and it was a messy delight! The quinoa bean burger was the best bean burger I've ever had, perfectly blended and had a wonderful texture. The sweet potato fries were the best I ever had as well, cooked and seasoned just right. Order the party melt and it was perfect in every way. The Double up with an added egg and truffle fries were the best. They do smash burgers and it hit the spot, the truffle fries tasted amazing. The potatoe roll for the bun complemented it well. Had the Woodstock and it was also amazing. Its basically a bacon cheese burger. The bacon was a bit to hard though. Pimento skins were also a nice appetizer. Burgers were cooked perfectly to order. If you order medium well, that's what you get. I like a good onion ring but the onion rings were a bit of a disappointment. There is more batter than onion and the batter holds onto the oil WAY to much. Tasted the grease more than anything. Love the onion ring dip. Order the tropical byrd and I didnt not like the taste. They respect the military with offering a 30% discount, amazing guys! Everything was done in a timely manner and burgers were cooked nicely. Please check this place out if you haven't! Taste is...
Read moreWe decided to try out "Burger Up" as it seemed like a promising burger place in our neighborhood, given its bustling atmosphere and the happy crowd we always saw when passing by. Excited for a delicious experience, I ordered the Ramsey Pimento Cheese Burger, while my partner opted for the French Onion Burger. Unfortunately, our overall impression was underwhelming.
The sweet potato fries were mediocre, and the truffle fries didn't stand out as anything special. Additionally, the burger itself lacked flavor, and I could barely taste the meat. Despite its appealing appearance, which would make for a great Instagram photo, it lacked soul when it came to taste. Considering the price we paid, the experience was disappointing and not worth it unless you prioritize atmosphere over taste.
However, one bright spot was the sauces. While the ketchup was on the sweeter side, the other sauces provided were excellent. They added a nice touch to the overall meal. Nevertheless, we left the restaurant feeling unsatisfied with the burger itself.
In conclusion, "Burger Up" may have a charming atmosphere and great sauces, but when it comes to the main event—the burger—it fell short. It may be worth a visit if you're primarily seeking a lively ambiance, but for those who prioritize the taste and quality of the burger, there may be better...
