Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint Germantown

The burgers here are absolutely delicious! We ordered a variety of different kinds, and everyone at our table agreed that the combination of the tasty bun, juicy patty, and fresh toppings made for a fantastic meal. Our server, Maci, was incredibly helpful and friendly, which made the experience even better. This is a great, simple spot that delivers all the quality of a more expensive restaurant without the fuss.

The flavor of the burger was pretty good but it the consistency was just a glob of mush since they don't use any fresh ingredients. The fries and fry sauce were pretty standard. The service was excellent and the patio seating had nice atmosphere. If someone I was with really wanted to go here I would tag along, but I wouldn't ever choose it myself again.

Wonderful place to go. Went by myself to see what it was like. I loved it till the cops showed up and no one wanted to taint their drink even though I was paying so I guess they are honest too. Wonderful place every employee spoke to me to make sure I was good so they all make you feel loved. If you're close and want a great burger go get one. You won't be unhappy.

One of my favorite if not my favorite place to eat in Nashville. Been coming here for years any chance I get. The food is a true chefs kiss. The sauce they give you for the fries or burger is so addicting. I personally get the Elvis as my go to burger. They have specials each day. The Jill Monroe (Wednesday’s) or the Ron Swanson (Tuesday’s) are top tier as well. Beer selection is exceptional along with their fried Oreos.

AWESOME PLACE We were four friends that decided to drop by for burgers and beers. And no doubt - this is a local popular place. We arrived around 6PM and experienced an approximately 30 minutes wait. The place itself has an eclectic decor, and the music they play is coherent - mainly what I would call punk/punkrock: Nirvana, Bush, Buzzrocks, D Generation etc. overall real cool place. And the waiters and waitresses were fitting in very nicely - open, upfront, quick, polite and professional. So very nice experience. They have 100+ beers, 5 different glasses of wine and some soft drinks. I chose the Elvis burger - a burger with bacon and peanut butter. A fun idea - fun to try. That was a first. The food menu offers a dozen or so different burgers. Very different and inspiring. So - definitely a place to visit if in the neighbourhood.

The best food we’ve eaten in Nashville. The burgers are top notch of course but the sweet potato fries are a must have. Especially with their house sauce! 10/10!

Good smash burgers and sweet potato fries. Really disappointed in the sweet tea - it tasted like water and is from a machine, not brewed. Everything is reasonably priced. Parking can be a bit of a nightmare in the small dirt lot.

Always have a great lunch date with my man there trying a different burger and drinks every time we go 💖

Food Had the Dr Gonzo with extra mushrooms and onions. First time eating at this location and can say consistency is key. Burger patties had amazing flavor, cooked well, cheese melted just right. Also tried the French fries and Heavy Ts cheese sauce and could tell this was a beer-based sauce. I preferred that but I could see how that could be a bit much if you're not a beer connoisseur. Service Quick, kept our waters filled. Only slight issue was the beer menu is on QR codes on each table and the QR code on our table was faded so you could not scan it with your phone. Simple solution was to scan one at a different table. Ambiance I like the option of being able to sit by the bar or in the area with picnic areas that let in a lot of natural light. Great place to grab a burger, fries, cold beer. Limited free parking up front but there is a paid lot beside it and street parking.

Burgers & beer? This is your spot if you are craving a burger or looking for some late night food. Great food, quick staff & reasonably priced beers with a great selection. Just note it may be loud if they have live music but just adds to the atmosphere. 1. Burger quality: They use 100% American Wagyu beef- great texture, seasoned just right, and juicy enough to remind me why I love burgers in the first place. 2. Toppings, sauces, cheese: There are so many options depending on if you are feeling classic burger or their specials are a creative twist on the classics- I got egg, caramelized onions, and bacon with that special sauce- chefs kiss! 3. Bun: brioche bun's density was perfect for soaking up the burger's flavors, and that the burger stayed together as a unit. 4. Sides (fries or wtv): get the sweet potato fries -definitely can tell they are frozen but they do the job and are delicious with the special sauce 5. X factor- this burger hits the right notes, delivered the flavor, but didn't steal the show. It was satisfying but didn't quite reach that unforgettable "fuck yeah" level. Maybe I'll get a double patty next time...

Needed a quick burger and beer (no food in the house!). Can never go wrong at Jack Brown's. Place was hippie on a Saturday night but we were seated quickly. Dr Gonzo burgers (mushrooms, bacon and cheese were SO yummy) and sweet potato fries for hubby and I. Since hubby is still "a growing boy" went back for a JB burger as well. Great food, quick staff & reasonably priced beers with a great selection. Just note that night the music was cranked; only added to the atmosphere!! We'll be back!

Hidden gem my friend recommended and let me tell you, one of the best burgers I've ever had! I enjoyed the Greg Brady with Mac & bbq chips on top, delicious! Our server was amazing and so cute with the Oktoberfest going on! Fantastic vibes, give this place a try!

You can always count on a good burger here! I got the Elvis -peanut butter and bacon on my burger?! Yes please!! FYI- no frills burger joint. No tomatoes no lettuce. Great vibes, yummy creative burgers and fast service!

Don't judge a place by its exterior or the parking. In one side is free parking but the other side is pay by app and it was stupid to get done. After finally getting that handled our group of seven moved into the restaurant and were seated together at the front table. The place is extremely popular with seating out front and on the side patio. It was crowded but we still got great service and the food was served fresh, hot and timely. The burgers are real meat and delicious. The sweet potato fries were good and then you used their special dipping sauce and they went over the top. Yes I hurt myself on it all. Just had the single burger and wasn't able to finish my fries with it. Then since we had our Japanese quests we had to have a fried Oreo. Yes they are good and yes the herd liked it but wow I really ate too much great place but come early.

My kind of place Dive bar with great hamburgers. Great selection of beers. Just hard to get a seat sometimes it is popular. Have to try a fried Oreo perfect ending to dinner.

Came here on a weekday evening, there's a parking lot for customers. Didn't know so did free street parking nearby but now we know! Has both indoor (loud) seating and outdoor seating, got an outdoor table. Pretty packed inside for 9:30PM on a Thursday, wow. A few outdoor tables were taken as well. Tried the Thursday special which had bacon and jalapeno jam, sweet potato fries ordered separately (none of the already-pricey burgers come with fries, wow). Beef was dry and generally not very flavorful, but the fries were good - hot and crispy, and the Jack Brown sauce (mayo-based but has a bunch of spices in it) was pretty good. Pretty pricey for the quality and quantity of food, service was a bit slow but friendly.

BESTTTTT BURGER IN NASHVILLE !!!!!! very causal place; we waited about 20 minutes outside for a table. But boy oh boy was it worth the wait. They make the patties fresh in front of you. Good selection of alcohol and cool options for daily deals with the burgers. TRY THE FRY SAUCE !!!! My mouth is watering thinking of it

Best place to get a burger, and their burger/fry sauce stars in my dreams. I eat at this Jack Browns location almost every other week. They have smashed patty style burgers and everyone should know that is the elite way to make a burger. My go-to order is the Greg Brady with fries and I eat half a bottle of sauce. They leave the sauce at your table so you can really go to town with it. The food is consistent and the service is so friendly, I've never had a bad experience. Every server will check on you, not just the one who takes the order. Truly the best staff in the biz. The menu was recently updated and now they sell liquor! They have a huge list of beers, wine, and NA options, so really something for everyone. They have a bar-ish vibe, and inside can get a little loud if the music is playing but not too bad. They have an outside patio, can get toasty in the summer and cool in winter but they have heaters and fans so, again, not bad and it's easy to have a convo. The patio tables can hold 6-8 people (8 can be tight). Parking can be tight, but the neighborhood has plenty of street parking a couple blocks away if the lot is full.

So good so so good! The JB sauce is incredible! The burger is delicious. Sweet potato fries on point. Vibes high. I would go here once a week if I lived there.

Beware: parking here is not great if they are busy. BUT. These are some of the best burgers I have ever had!! service is prompt and they have nice servers. The decor is an interesting choice, but it's okay if that's the vibe they like. It doesn't really matter when the burgers are as good as they are. Their house sauce or whatever it is is GREAT!!! Good job Jack Brown's!

Arrived after 2pm today and sat at the bar. It appeared that the rush lunch crowd was later then usual and the service staff seemed to be playing catch up which I completed understand. After waiting and waiting for a period of time of at least 10 to 15 minutes I realized that I was not going to be acknowledged or even offered water. I decided to search some other areas and departed. I have been quite a few times, but never felt so unwelcome or ignored. I guess I can chalk up to a bad day???

Small little venue, when we arrived we did have to wait 15 mins. It was worth it, we got the Classic Jack and it was delicious. Smash patty on a great tasting bun, they have a JB sauce that tastes a little like BigMac sauce but theirs is better. We went on a Monday night and they had trivia. Great spot, great staff, and they have a food challenge that is definitely worth checking out.

This place is a 10/10 I loved everything! The beer was the best beer I've ever had. Burger was amazing so buttery. I will def be coming back!!!! The ambience was great, music and people.

I love this burger joint! Great atmosphere, casual, quirky and the burgers are great!

Came with the coworkers today. Nice atmosphere with the a really chill vibe. Doesn't have any crazy burger smell either which is nice. Parking is a little difficult but it is the city after all. I got the Greg Brady with sweet potato fries and I wish I bought 2 haha. Amazing food. Amazing place. Will return.

Fun. That's the word that describes Jack Brown's. The interior? Fun. Although frankly I wish the space was bigger, that's just because of the amount of traffic it gets which makes it full a lot of nights. The bartenders and servers? Fun. Good attitudes, good convo. The food? Fun. I mean, by nature a burger is fun. And they do those pretty well around here. Lots of good options to choose from, plus you can make your own combo. Can't go wrong with a fun environment, fun people, and a good burger and beer.

I think I have ate at Jack Brown's more than anywhere else in Nashville. It is hands down my favorite late night go to & just a great spot to take friends & family when they're in town! I always order the Cobra Kai (add bacon) & fries. They have a great beer menu as well. I'm usually too full to order Oreos, but if I do I never regret it. When I'm feeling adventurous I get an Elvis & add Jalapeño Jelly. Service is quick, I never really have a long wait unless I'm visiting during peak dinner hours in the summer. Parking lot is not the best so be warned! There is plenty of street parking around the area so that might be your best bet. Its a nonchalant, easy going dive bar covered in stickers and random decor. Highly recommend checking it out if you're looking for an easy going meal & great burgers.

What is there to say about Jack Brown's that hasn't already been said? By far the best burger in Nashville I've had and a prime location. This is my go to rec for newbies and locals alike. This place is always busy but you never have to wait too long to grab a beer or get your order in. There's both indoor and outdoor seating but the options are limited as the space itself is small. Don't go during peak lunch or dinner times and you'll be fine. Service once seated is hit or miss but I'd wait an eternity for one of their fresh burgers so it's not a deterrent for me. Another thing to note is the parking lot is very, very cramped but that's to be expected with the location. If you're fortunate to snag a spot, my tip would be to back in for an easy exit. If you haven't been to Jack Brown's yet, what are you waiting for?

Ambiance is on point in there. Little dive burger joint. Hella good flavor and never had something I didn't like here.

Great burgers. Cool vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful when ordering. We'll definitely be back when in town.

Everything about this experience was amazing. Great food, casual atmosphere fantastic burgers

Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint is a hole-in-the-wall burger spot and bar in Germantown, Nashville. This place is a great spot to go to for delicious burgers and fries. The classic jack is the way to go! The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, plus is decorated with a bunch of flags, stickers and decorations. Parking is free in the dirt lot right in front of the restaurant. The staff is nice and friendly. I would recommend this place to other people.

Stopped by here with the GF and her family during our time in Nashville and I have to say this was one of the if not best burgers I have ever had and family agreed as well. The burger was seasoned perfectly and full of flavor from the wagyu beef they use. The fries were also fried and seasoned perfectly and paired great with their in house fry sauce! Absolutely no complaints with this place. It offers great vibes and the staff are super cool.

So upon walking in you see like a backyard vibes with loud metal music playing in the background. Not my usual scenery or type of music that I go for but the burgers were 10/10! From The seasoning to the sauce it's mouth watering dripping good ! We had the cheese fries also that I couldn't stop eating and I'm not even a fry kind of gal . Staff is super friendly and service is fast even with it being super busy. When I'm back in Nashville this will be my burger spot. See you soon

My good friends & fellow Yelp Elites Amanda M. & her sister in law Alyssa M. had been talking up Jack Browns for what seemed like weeks & since I had never had it we all made a trip on Friday night to get our Greg Bradys on. Friday at 7:15 ish & it was poppin. 40 minute wait for 6 wound up being about 45. It was chilly out but a beer in hand made everything more bearable. Once seated in the cozy & warm back room we proceeded to order & food was out quick. Double Greg Brady with sweet potat fries for me & the Cobra Kai for my wife. Pretty sure everybody else Greg Braydied (sp?) as well. Now Amanda is a self described "Saucy bitch" & one of her soft spots for JB's is due to their house sauce that comes in a large container for the table to share as they please. She talks about it more than you'd think & I gotta say, the sauce was damn good. Fries & burger were both coated often throughout the meal. I should mention the burger. It was very good. Going double probably was smart (not for my heart) as it helped balance out the cheesiness with more burger. Better than the pharmacy & ML rose & I have no problem saying that. Decent pickle spear included & the sweet potato fries were some of the better ones I've had, sauce put them over the top for sure. I did not splurge for a fried Oreo as I was stuffed but several others did, so you have that option if you have a sweet tooth. Divey spot in a great part of town. Will be back for more sauce

By far the best after hours diner that has the best staff, cooks, and ambiance. You can never go wrong with a proven combination of fries, burger, and beer.

We loved it! The employees and manager were so pleasant and friendly. Great hole in the wall place. We ordered the Cobra Kai And Dr gonzo. Yummy!! Our server who was new and so helpful, suggested ,actually demanded, that we try the fried Oreo with peanut butter. Oh fckn yes! Great place!!

It was good but so loud I couldn't even think it lol nice spot to watch college football .

Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint in Germantown seems uniquely local to the area, however it turns out that it is actually a small chain with locations throughout TN, AL, SC, NC, OH and VA. The vibe is laid back, local-dive-sports bar-ish with walls full of memorabilia, stickers and signage from staff and patrons alike. But, I did not come here for the atmosphere only...I came for the burgers! The menu consists of burgers, fries and a fried Oreo...its small, compact, but robust in creativity and flavor! I am usually a purist when it comes to burgers, but today I saw the Dr. Gonzo and realized my life wouldn't be complete until I had one. The Dr. Gonzo features sautéed mushrooms, caramelizes Guinness onions, bacon and swiss cheese, and I sided it with their sweet potato fries. It was quite tasty, but I will say the sweetness of the Guinness combined with the swiss was unexpected and I am still truly unsure if I liked it or not. My partner got the Cowboy Burger and really enjoyed it. We both got fries, one regular and the other sweet potato. Both were tasty, but could have been fried a tad longer. Service was solid. It's a seat yourself type of deal and the first server that greets you, gets you. But in the end they were all a bit helpful in one way or the other. Parking can be tough, like anywhere else in Germantown, but they do have a small dedicated lot in front and you have access to a paid lot next door. Overall, great experience and cool spot! We will definitely be back!

Wagyu burgers!! The Cobra Kai is my favorite and I recommend to anyone who likes jalapeño poppers! This time I got the Greg Brady which was exactly what I was looking for. The fries were good, but with their special sauce it was insane. There's usually a wait for a good reason, but they get burgers out fast.

Hit up Jack Brown's on our trip through NASHVILLE, head to Germantown and prepare to pay to park. Great variety of burgers, and very tasty! Fun environment and not only were the burgers fun and different they were delicious.

Great food. Music not so much N****a fuck motherfucker isn't really the right music for a burger joint. Seriously, why?

Called for pickup!! Burger was amazing and the fries were still HOT! Easy walk in, pay, and on my way!!!

Wow this place is good. Super cool restaurant itself as well. I'm a big sweet potato fry fan and these did not disappoint whatsoever. Definitely come try this place out.

I have been on a self-proclaimed mission to seek out the best burgers in Nashville, and Jack Brown's is at the top of the list! These were the best burgers we have had yet here in Nashville. Our waitress said these were smash burgers, so my husband and I both ordered a double, and he ordered the All Jacked Up fries (with beer cheese sauce, onions, and jalapeños), I added the sweet potato fries. When our food came we had plenty of meat on our burgers and fries aplenty! They bring out a bottle of their special sauce for the table and we both enjoyed it. The meat had a great flavor and the patties were wider than the bun. There was a nice amount of cheese and toppings, too. The wait staff was friendly and made sure drinks were filled and that we had everything we needed. My only complaints would be that all of the tables in the front room had stool seating (but if you are lucky enough to get a seat on the porch, there are tables with chairs out there) and that the music was really loud (but the only table we could find was right by the speaker, so no surprise). This place was pretty crowded at lunch on a weekday, so I imagine they stay pretty busy. No wonder with great food and friendly service! I'm looking forward to many return trips to Jack Brown's.

Get the Elvis on acid or god will smite you. Everyone I've taken there says the same thing "peanut butter and jelly??? On a burger?!?!" Yes it's a delicacy. They've all tried it and has had nothing negative to say about it. Grow some live life for once and try something new.

This place smells amazing! Too bad I have a severe dairy allergy and they will not modify anything. And they really aren't nice about the fact that they won't modify. Except for the fact that they did modify my husband's burger. The rest of my party really enjoyed the food - I enjoyed the fries and ordered from across the street!

The food is good the cheeseburger is awesome the staff is so nice the jb sauce is good with the fries pls come to eat here.

I tried to go get burgers today but couldn't get through the horrible parking lot. There are huge hoes at the entrance more than a foot deep. The holes are so deep I was certain I would bottom out my car. There's absolutely no reason they can't keep their parking lot maintained. I had to back up, turn around and leave. The manager and owner should be ashamed. They know they are excluding people who don't drive off road vehicles and they don't care. ‍

Prob one of the best burgers I've ever had. Great meat awesome bun and toppings. 100 beers on the menu.

Such a fun hole in the wall vibe. Food and drinks are great and will for sure go back!

Delicious - can't wait to go back. And staff is great, super chill. No outdoor seating though, kind of a bummer but overall amazing.

Jack browns always kicks ass. Nothing else to say if you go anywhere else in Nashville for a burger you are wrong.

Ideal late-night burger stop: went here at 12:30am to order take out. It was ready fast and the bartender who took our order seemed to genuinely care about providing everything we needed. Thank you!

Yum yum yum. Best burger I've had in Nashville so far. Waited for about 10-15 minutes after putting our name in. Waitress got to us quickly & so did the food. Fries & burgers were so delicious, I wish we could've had more! Had a few beers on the side. Pretty affordable for the quality, would absolutely recommend to those looking for a smash burger and an eclectic spot.

Cute burger joint. The burger was solid but the French fries cold after telling waiter when ordering we wanted truly hot fries. The main reason I would NOT return or recommend anyone go here is three of the four employees were rude. I ordered two beers, one each for my wife and I. They asked for our licenses but my 53 year old wife didn't have hers as she left it in our hotel. She called our daughter and had her take a clear picture of her passport and showed that which was still denied. To top it off, they stopped serving me after two because I might be sharing mine. Zero COMMON SENSE! Zero SITUATIONAL AWARENESS! The purpose of checking ID's is to prevent serving minors period. Granted my wife does look young but not that young, lol! Food average at best Ambiance is cool Service horrid AVOID this place

Delicious food!!! Quick service, I took my food to go, but inside had a fun quirky feel about it.
