Customer Reviews

"We LOVE The Burger Bar!! We always get great service, amazing food and a clean table! Tonight we ate dinner there and I had the MacN' Cheese burger and Cowboy Fries and they did not disappoint! My husband had the wings and they were cooked to meaty perfection. Out of everything we have tried there, we have never had anything that wasn't good. Not to mention the prices are nice too."

"I absolutely love this place The food is delicious, our server was quick and attentive Food also came out very quick. The atmosphere was very quiet and chill, though we went at 1pm so I'm sure it depends on the time you go. They have some very interesting and unique burger choices that I can't wait to try. If you're looking for a good burger you've come to the right place!"

"If you want a good Burger or Hot Dog, you should head to, Burger Bar. My favorite is the Jalapeno Crunch Burger, but my last visit I tried the, Atomic Burger. The Atomic has a habanero aioli, Pepper Jack cheese and grilled Hot Giardiniera Peppers on a toasted jumbo English Muffin. The burger was smashed perfectly and the English Muffin was a nice twist and change from a typical bun. Since I changed up my burger, I thought I might as well change my side, too. Instead of the typical fries, I ordered their Tater Tots. Wow, the Tots really hit the spot and they may be my go to in the future. I like their variety of bottled beers and I always change that up, so I can check in on my Untappd app. I've never been disappointed in the service. The servers are attentive, friendly and they really hustle when it gets busy"

"The waiter let us know how long the wait was once we got inside. Food was excellent, good-sized portions to eat. We shared the loaded fries and that was a nice appetizer. The interior was nice, not too bar-like. Beer selection was vast, you have domestic and international options to choose from. Toilets need servicing. Otherwise it was a really nice experience."

"This was my first time at Burger Bar and I absolutely LOVED their burgers. It's a bit of a wait but its 100% worth it. I had their Arch burger and it was delicious. Our server was super friendly and checked in on us on time. The atmosphere is very friendly too. I 1000% recommend eating here when you're craving a juicy burger."

"This place is soooooo goood! There burgers are top tier, there cowboy fries are amazing! Wife doesn't even like BBQ sauce and she took the cup after one taste and put it all over the fries. All of that after having the most amazing garlic cheese curds I have ever had..... Now I can no longer eat cheese curds and be happy anywhere else..."

"First time there and was definitely not disappointed. After grabbing fireworks from across the river , we craved sustenance. So this place came up. Stopped by . Was greeted promptly and grabbed a table . Our waitress was phenomenal. She gave us the run down on everything as 1st timers . We had corn nuggets for an appetizer . Hubby got the Arch burger . I got a basic bacon cheese burger. Great food and people . Nice atmosphere . Will definitely be back"
