Grillshack Fries and Burgers - East Nashville

"You can find plenty of fancy burger joints around town. You know, the gastropub-type places with toppings like foie gras and eggs that have been coddled with ASMR videos to ensure extra runniness. Then you have Grillshack, which has no indoor seating, just a few tables on the outside patio, and a takeout window doling out some of the best (and simplest) burgers in the city. There’s hardly anything to distract from the ⅓-pound patty sourced from Bear Creek farms and the grilled roll from Charpier’s Bakery outside of the Nations. Their fries, which are hand-cut and generously piled next to your burger, are a masterclass in crafting the perfect thick-cut spuds." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak, adam sloan

"There’s no indoor seating at this East Nashville haunt — it’s a literal shack that’s simply doling out some of the best burgers in town. It all starts with a takeout window order of their one-third-pound Bear Creek patty on a grilled roll from Charpier’s Bakery. From there, throw in side of the perfectly thick hand-cut fries and enjoy your feast on the outdoor patio." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Delia Jo Ramsey

"Specializes in macaroni and cheese with various toppings like Memphis-style barbecue and buffalo chicken." - Kellie Walton
