Burger Bar

This place is so cool! The nostalgia inside is amazing! Old hub caps, mid century figurines, and old photographs are everywhere. Food was delicious and service was fast and friendly! The French fries were hot and the onion rings were unbelievable. This was a lot of fun and we look forward to going back again. Thanks for a great experience.

We had heard about the Burger Bar in historic downtown Bristol and drove 42 miles to eat there. The experience did not disappoint. The specialty burgers we received were huge and were so good and the homemade onion rings were big and delicious. The atmosphere was casual and nostalgic. The service was so friendly and welcoming and the prices reasonable. We had the best time. Good food and a great place

I was in Bogota, Colombia a few years ago, walking down the street when I saw a street vendor selling " hamburguesa". I should have known better from previous street food experiences in Bogota but I love burgers and fancy myself a knowledgeable burger consumer. I paid 80 cents or so and got some kind of meaty substance slathered in sauces with like little fried, hard onions. The burgers was inedible and I tried to feed it to a street dog near an entrance to the gold museum. The street dog took a few passive licks but ultimately passed on the burger and the birds took it apart. Well, that was the worst burger I have ever had and the burger I had at Burger Bar a few days ago was a close second. I feel so sorry for the local people who have claimed this burger to be one of the best around. It is unseasoned... how do you get by not even putting seasoning on the patties? They are stale, cookie cutter, flavorless patties that are cooked so hard and so long there is not even a trace of juiciness nor fat content. I literally had to choke down each bite with beer before I finally gave up on it. NO seasoning. Cooked to death. Cheap bun. Horrible undercooked fries that were still hard in the middle but had some seasoning. The cheese is cheap and its slopped together to keep the line moving. Just an absolute disgraceful burger. I will never return because they're getting by on their disgraceful burger making technique and I am sure it wont change. Its really sad and now I cant help but think if that street dog would have choked this burger down as I had or leave it for birds.

We stopped in here mostly just to get a shake. In the process I decided to get a burger for later. Decided on the Big Mic and was most definitely impressed. I'm a hamburger connoisseur which basically just means I get a burger nearly every place that offers them. This burger was flat out amazing. Cooked fresh, it had two massive beef patties on a warm bun with thousand island sauce on it. I had determined to eat the thing later in the evening but it was so good I went ahead and ate it right then. The milkshakes are also made on the spot, with a great selection to choose from. If I'm ever in Bristol again I know for sure this is where I want to stop and eat.
