Great burgers, especially their special of the day (never disappoints!) My favorite is the Popeye (it's only available once a week). This is one of my favorite places in Charlottesville for a burger. Get there early if you don't want to wait or enjoy a beer while you wait. Either way, it'll be a great meal with friendly staff.
The Hardywood pils was yummy and the burger ok.
Jack Browns showed up in Cville right after I moved away from the original location in Harrisonburg, to my heart’s delight. This place has the best burgers in VA, hands down: their claim to fame are the little, perfectly cooked morsels of beef patties coupled with wild variations of toppings—the Greg Brady w/ Mac and Cheese & bbq chips is my fav when I’m feeling bad. Some may be disappointed that lettuce/tomato isn’t an option, but their dedication to being mostly unhealthy, weird specialty burgers brings me joy. I don’t drink like I used to, but there is certainly a cultivated beer drinking experience here with choice far outweighing that of burger toppings! Main downside to Jack Browns is their tiny location and fabricated rough and tumble aesthetic. The later probably for the best to ward off this becoming an overcrowded family restaurant (it’s already packed with people!). Somehow it lends to the hole-in-the wall charm, though, it knows what it is! Best for small groups for sure.
Simple but all you need is there. Tasty food, good beer friendly staff.
WOW! Absolutely the most horrible service. The waitress with green hair needs to change her profession. I have never felt so insulted and targeted in my whole life. Will never return. Management needs to take a good look at who they are hiring
Best beer and burgers in town
Best burger ever. Seriously.
Love this place, great burgers, great beer, great community. Ask about the Notcher program if you go to Cville frequently.
Burger was missing items, had the redo it...came out really burnt. Fries came out cold and a huge nasty pickle sitting on top making them soggy. When they brought out more, they were room temperature and overly salty. I love salt and I couldn't bare it. Messed up a few other orders in my party as well. Their food was extremely cold and wrong. The waitress was horrible. She had an excuse for everything. Never apologized. The fact that the manager and another lady had to take over and replace food and tried to redeem their service, it still was horrible. They had a nerve to take off 15%!!!! The food, the long wait to get more horrible food, it was unbelievable. My first and last time in this place. Don't believe the hype!
This was my first time at this location, but I've been to the one in Harrisonburg half dozen times. Good pub food. Their burgers are small, so you may want to get two. I've never had a bad meal, and the service in both locations is good.
Great burgers. The Shocker was the perfect level of spiciness with jalapeno and habanero. Great beer selection. Great staff. My new favorite burger joint in town.
Good location for beer and food
Awesome spot for amazing burgers, a large selection of both draft and bottled/ canned beers, and the service was super friendly and fast. I think I only spent an hour in there because my burgers came out so fast. The burgers were really unique too, nothing that sounded like you’d need a special pallet to enjoy. I had a burger with lots of heat and it was on point for people who actually don’t mind some spice in their life
Good beers and great burgers! I love this place! I'm visiting in town, and I came here after a disappointing and expensive meal at Little Star (small plate Mexican food) left me hungry for a real meal. I found the cheapest burger place I could and walked there. That turned out to be an awesome decision, because Jack brown's has fantastic burgers, good beers, friendly service, and a great, lively atmosphere. The burger with mac n cheese is worth repeating, but every burger on the menu sounded delicious.
Stop in here for amazing burgers, great service and cheap beers. Wishing we found this place sooner as we sure would have come by more often.
Delicious burgers! Exactly how I want a burger to taste and be served!
My first time visiting and will definitely be back... Food was great, staff amazing
Beer. Burgers. Fries. And don’t forget the supremely addictive Jack Brown’s sauce. Wish I could order a pint of that stuff with a straw.
Simplicity done to perfection! Love this place. Delicious burgers and great service.
Very good, but a little pricey for the size of the burgers.
My grandsons a few years ago introduced me to "the best burgers in Harrisonburg" and our love of Jack Brown's was born! Now since getting to taste the burger and get to know the team that makes this place special right here in Charlottesville, we have become devoted fans not just to the product, but all the community spirit the company represents!
Low key vibe, great beers and excellent bartenders!
Not that great and too expensive for such low quality and small burgers. Probably won't go back.
The burgers are perfectly cooked and the proper size. Not a fancy joint, but perfect for burgers. Good beer selection.
Went in yesterday. Sat at the bar for 20 mins, no one came by for our order. Took a drink order from the guy beside us who came 10 mins after us. So, we left. Cool looking place, but really bad service.
Casual burger spot on the Pedestrian Mall, with some outdoor seating. Burgers are small but tasty. Pleasant servers.
The absolute best way to end a night at the Jefferson...
Great beer selection and awesome burgers. Can't go wrong with the Elvis. Their staff will be more than happy to help you pick out a beer.
First time experience and food was great
Amazing selection of beers, fair pricing, fun atmosphere, and great burgers/fries. They even have friend Oreos!
The Staff is awesome!
Purposely meant to feel like a hole in the wall which is a nice change from the standard ultra modern sports bar. Burger was amazing!
A great assortment of beers and ciders available, many are on tap. The hamburgers are delicious and very unique. I must stop when you're in Charlottesville Virginia.
Great burgers and nice beer selection
Have to try the burgers. The fried oreo delicious
Best burgers around. Heads up though, they use peanut oil for frying food but the burgers are safe depending on how severe your allergy is.
Great Place for a burger and a beer
The burgers are so Good.
This is one of my favorite places in CVille because of how simple it is to have a good time. Nice beer selection, good food, nice atmosphere.
Love Jack Browns for interesting takes on a burger
Awesome burger place and a cool small spot. Beer was cold and the food was good. Checked all the boxes. The location is not huge so plan accordingly for large groups. Service was great.
Stopped in here Saturday around midnight after a concert. It was packed and for good reason! The burgers were really good. Yes, burgers I tried two. Also liked the fried Oreos! The sweet potato fries were fried frozen crinkle fries which was the only disappointment I had. Despite being packed the food came quickly! Definitely recommend.
Great food, better staff
I went here yesterday and it had great service, amazing workers, and even better food. I want to eat here everyday.
We visited late after a UVA home football game. Our sons, all under 21, were served food on the patio even though they usually don't serve anyone under 21 at night. This is how you make return customers
Gooooooood and needs to let LaQuinn do a set
This place is sooo yummy! Laid back and the best Pineapple Cider!
Great burgers, good prices and good selection of beer
Amazing. The Elvis burger w/peanutbutter is the best. Great place. Great service.
I usually go for lunch - good burgers and love the sweet potato fries.
Love this place. Great burgers. Cheap. Hundreds of beers. What could be better?
The burger was good...That was my first time there...keep up the good work guys
Fun atmosphere. Only has beer. Outdoor seating. Hip crowd. Downtown mall.
Great selection of beers. Sweet potato fries!
Service was great ! Greg Brady is AWESOME !
Great burgers, decent prices. If you're into beer it's also a good place.
I always love the food and the staff is reasonably attentive.
I mean, it's like hell yeah and hot damn decided to make burgers while listening to Curtis Mayfield. You can do that.
We visited here yesterday for dinner. The selection of burgers and beers are really unique and you can usually find some harder to find beers. The only downside was the AC was out. Would have been nice to get a free drink on the house or something. But the service was good otherwise. We just didnt stay much longer than it took to eat our food.
At 5:30 in the evening when Bohemian Rhapsody came on the entire bar sang along, me into my umbrella and a worker into the ketchup bottle. It was a magic moment.
The burger with blue cheese and firecracker onions is great with their sauce. They have a special sauce that tastes similar to thousand island dressing (mayo + ketchup + something magical). The fries are pretty good. They have a lot of fun things to look at (including an AMF bowling pin
My cheeseburger was crispy. My husbands was perfect. They use great beef.
Love it. Delicious burgers and everything was great.
Awesome service and friendly staff. Killer music and amazing burgers. If you want to have a great time with great food go to Jack Browns.
Emil at this place was the perfect post hiking salvation meal. It's everything you want in a hot delicious Burger crispy fries and a cold draft beer. Go bold and try out the Elvis.
Great tasting burgers and amazing beer challenges
Great food and fast service. Anyplace the has Coors Banquet is great on my book.
This place really knows how to make a burger. Cooked perfectly and soft potato bun, you can't beat it. Their fries are also great, they cook them in peanut oil and come out crunchy on the outside and creamy in the middle. This place is a must stop if you're considering lunch in downtown Charlottesville.
Jack Brown's is an awesome place to try new beers. They have a list for you to fill out to try all the different beers and you are rewarded if you complete them. But my favorite reason for going there is the burgers, specifically the Shocker Burger. This one is loaded with raw habenero slices. These burgers are the perfect amount of greasy and sloppy, they remind me of a better version of 5 guys.
Awesome server, awesome fried Oreos! Not my first time not my last!
Five stars and we didn't even eat there. Wife and I stopped there after reading the reviews. Very busy, but after talking with the barkeeper, we decided their style of burger was not what we wanted right then so we got up to leave. He could have let us just go, but instead he gave is a nearby location to go to that might be a better fit. Friendly and I felt genuinely interested in helping us out. Pretty awesome. Great location and comfortable interior.
Awesome burgers, great beer section.
One of my mom's favorites. The staff and selection are fantastic. Burgers are very tasty and high quality, but not cheap. I like the atmosphere alot but it can be a bit clostrophobic when it's busy.
It's always laid back and the staff is kind, outgoing, and personable.
Great food at a reasonable price. Make sure you try the fried Oreos. If the weather is nice, there are table for larger groups, but otherwise, you probably want to limit your party to 4.
Great burgers & beers, what more could you want??
Loved this place. Loved the food, the variety of beer, and the surrounding is very cool. Nice place to chill, watch games and drink beer with friends. Very casual.
They were there for us when it was late and we were hungry. Good bar food and vibe.
Great burgers. The potatoe bun makea,the burger great
More burger for the money at Millers. Completely different atmospheres. Liked that they had the Packer game on a late Thursday night. Burger was wanting more meat (cowboy) reminded me of a greasy spoon type burger. Fries were ok.
The food is amazing here! They use wagyu beef and it really makes a difference in flavor! I love the creativity they used in making the different burger, like the one that uses a donut instead of a bun. Fried oreos are AMAZING!
The Waygu beef was delicious! The place was packed and the prices were way reasonable. Try to go during the day to really enjoy it though.
Lovely place, good burgers and wast selection of beers and ciders. Menu very small and simple including mainly nice quality burgers as name would suggest. Nice vibe will be back for sure
Service is myeh. A severe lack of eye contact. I wanted to order more but realized that I was not a priority. Roanoke is way better. 8/13/2019 - my return trip was amazing! The people were active and lively. The crowd was super friendly. Every was amazing!!!
Gotta try the smiley on the secret menu. It's the cowboy and the Greg Brady combined. Life changing.
I love Jack Brown's... In Roanoke and Carytown. Two out of the 3 times we've driven to Charlottesville to to go this Jack Browns, they've been closed. I checked their Facebook page and google to make sure they didn't have anything posted about being closed so the same thing wouldn't happen. Unfortunately the same thing did happen. The had posted it on Facebook about an hour before we arrived. We were already in the car ready to enjoy a hell of a burger, but instead we got sub par food from a different Cville restaurant. My husband messaged them on Facebook and the response he got when he told him it was the second time it had happened was extremely unprofessional. We won't waste our time here again.
I loved this place when it first opened. I have lived on the mall for many years. I will never return to this restaurant ever again. The bartenders are the most hypocritical group of hipsters who discriminate against you if you are not a regular who they praise for whenever they drink their 100th beer. The Harrisonburg location is great but they completely dropped the ball at the Charlottesville location and make you feel like a complete outcast every time you enter the front door. I brought close family and friends to the Charlottesville location and ended up apologizing to them for how Jack Browns in Charlottesville treated them. The bartenders need to be fired and replaced with employees who appreciate business from any respectable well paying customer.
Cool and cheap burgers. Definitely repeat
Everything was dam good .we will be back next week
Legit best burger ever. I got the one with cream cheese and pepper jelly. Damn good burger. Going to be a huge recommend when friends visit this part of Virginia.
As soon as you walk inside Jack Brown's, you can tell it's a cool place to hang out. If the cluttered walls full of photos and license plates don't tip you off, the hanging chandelier of bras above the bar probably will. It can definitely get cramped and loud, but there's always outdoor seating if you're not in the mood for that environment. As for the food, the menu is small, but each burger offers a unique flavor combination to try out. I've only had one, but it was excellent -- the patty was tender and flavorful, the bun was soft, and the toppings were fresh. It was also surprisingly filling for how small it was, and the fries are a decent side item, but not particularly memorable. It's not the kind of restaurant I would go to very often, only because I prefer a more spacious environment, but the food is definitely worth a visit no matter what.
Great burgers at a reasonable price
The online pictures didn't make the food look very appetizing. However, they had delicious burgers, fries, and craft beer. They staff was super friendly. The price was reasonable. I like how they do a unique burger on Saturdays.
Great local virginia spot. Burgers are outstanding with a great draft and bottle selection!
Nothing fancy, just great burgers, a good beer selection and terrific service.
Burgers tasted great but the size of a slider...
I went to school in Charlottesville but have since moved away to a larger metropolitan area and have not found a burger as good as Jack Brown’s since. I ate there the other day while visiting town. Quick and hospitable service. Food is absolutely delicious. Really nice and unassuming atmosphere. Best burger in Charlottesville hands down. Also best burger I can think of...ever. Thanks y’all!
They have a great beer selection and their burgers taste amazing. They're cheaper than most pubs, but also smaller. The thing is that they're a good size, unlike most pubs burgers that are too big. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves beers and burgers.
Good food. Great beer.
One of the best bang for your buck places in Cville. Jack Brown's is my wife and I's favorite burger joint, period. ALLERGY NOTE, they use peanut oil for their fries but burgers are fine!
Greg Brady burger is phenomenal! The sauce they give you with fries is about as addicting as any drug out there. Love the staff and the regulars there make it warm and inviting
Fast, friendly and good food!!
One of the best burgers I’ve had in a while and the fries are great too! Awesome atmosphere with a great crowd and an awesome beer list. Highly recommend going here.
Best burger and fries I had in a while!
Tasty burgers, very good fries and the fried Oreo are awesome. Great variety of beer. Cool atmosphere too.
I've eaten here three times and love love love the atmosphere. The servers all have great personalities. Catch a Monday night here for their trivial game. It was a hoot. Parking can be a challenge because it is on the downtown mall, but walking the mall is so great you even see the walk as a bother. But geez, let's not forget to talk about the burgers .. They are freaking amazing!! Last visit I got the burger with an egg. I'm. Building up the currage to try the peanut butter burger. Next time I'm taking the plunge!!
If you’re looking for a place to go for a gourmet burger, Jack Browns definitely doesn’t serve that, but there’s nothing ordinary about it. From mac n cheese to pulled pork you never know what you’ll come across. These burgers are total comfort food between two buns. The location isn’t huge so grab a spot on the bar or one of the few tables outside and get comfortable. Wide beer selection, fun staff, and food that will never disappoint, if you haven’t been before you should make it your next lunch or late night stop!
Great food and the restaurant is a very unique place to dine
