urban stack

the burgers were dry. @lucy; i am 60 years old and am perfectly capable of determining whether a burger is moist or dry, thank you very much. i disagree that this establishment has the largest selection of beer in town. please visit mellow mushroom or taco mac to understand.

not for me. we visited today (boxing day) for lunch about 2;00. it was crowded but we were able to grab a couple of seats at the bar. i am not a fan of the barstools being fixed in place, it puts my knees right against the bar which is not very comfortable.

the draft beer list has several very interesting offerings and the couple we had were good and fresh. we passed on apps.

i ordered the southwest green chili cheeseburger (pink, no mustard). it was a bit pink when it arrived but prooved not to be very juicy. it's my guess they are using rather lean premade patties, both bad ideas. the pickled onions added nothing to the burger but a vineragry note.

mrs. bear had the chili burger (pink, no mustard, no onions). it was also pretty dry, strangely enough more so on one side than the other. i only had one bite but was not impressed by the chili.

she had an order of onion rings for a side, they seemed like food service slop to us, both the onions and the gross amount of breading were essentially flavorless. i had the almost pickled beets for a side and they were without a doubt the standout of the meal.

bottom line: $45.00 (with tip) later we had had two unimpressive hamburgers, one very good side, one bad one and two good beers. saturday we had lunch at 212 market for about five bucks more and enjoyed a far better meal.

get the burgers "go green" (wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun) to get the full flavor of the burger and it's condiments. i'm a total carb fan, but the bun just takes away from these yummy burgers.

whoever said the burgers were dry, didn't know what they were talking about!!! the best burgers in town. the pickles are amazing and addictive, and the largest selection of beers and spirits in town. try it you'll like it!!

good burger and drinks. this is a really good local bar with plenty of draft beers, specialty cocktails, and burger variations.

good vegan burger. the food was good. i had the vegan mushroom burger.. the service was great. i do think it is a little pricey. you should at least get fries with your burger.

really good burgers and salads.

the gourmet burger has been done and done--and done and done and done--but that doesn't mean we shouldn't do it some more. urban stack makes a concerted effort to move past the infinite topping lists of the cheeburger cheeburgers of the world and provide a cohesive package. they don't have the best burger in town, but such accoutrements as balsamic onions, chipotle ketchup, and fire & ice pickles may give you something to think about. the burgers (angus, turkey, lamb, and veggie) average $8 and a wagyu upgrade is $3. fried sides (fries, oni

may 28, 2012 tags: chattanooga by colleen matt and i drove from nashville to chattanooga with no real agenda. to be honest, the only reason we went was that i didn’t have enough hotel points for a third night in nashville, but i did have just enough for one night in chattanooga. i guess we’re cheap! our plan ended up working out well because chattanooga was pleasantly low key, which was just what we needed after our time in nashville . as a bonus, it seemed to have some pretty good dining options. we were lucky to arrive on a beautiful night, allowing us to do some wandering before deciding where to eat. we came across a nice looking burger place with an outdoor patio called urban stack . matt was drawn in by the homemade veggie burgers. for me, it was the pimento cheese. i need more pimento cheese in my life! matt ordered the vegan on shrooms burger, which was a homemade vegan mushroom patty with roasted red pepper, tomato, lettuce, and balsamic onions. he also asked for a fried egg o

urban stack. great bar, nice people and really love the southwestern vegetarian burger (and i'm a die hard meat eater!!).

great place!!!. stopped for lunch, great service from manager explaining their gluten free aand vegen menu. the creamsicle shakes were delicious. the burgers were cooked to order and excellent. jeremy took good care of us and answered all of our questions.

nice surprise. after visiting the choochoo we started looking for urban stack on foot and we had no idea where it was we only knew that it was close according to the map on my phone (stupid) i ended up taking us in circles trying to find it only to become frustrated and finally asked someone where this place was. we had read great reviews. after we found it we instantly liked where we were at what a great space i wish knoxville had a restaurant that looked as good as this it reminds me of atlanta and detroit, the service was great mike i believe was really excited about the food and informative on the menu and how to choose what you want.

my date ordered the turkey burger and she raved about it but was only so so on the fries, i ordered the 4 cheese burger with the american kobe beef, and white cheddar cheese, the burger was great but the beef was overwhelmed by the amount of toppings and special mayonaise. and the potato salad.

the best thing of the night was the orange cream sicle shake wow that is the best shake i have had in some time though it was more like a smoothie.
overall i want to return just to try out the rest of the menu and i certainly will. the experience and food were great and exceded my expectation. i highly reccomend this place for anyone going through chattanooga.

absolutely amazing! great options for vegetarians. i will be coming back!

almost awesome. "killer burgers" start with pre-formed frozen raw hamburger patties? come on, people, give it to us fresh! that being said, they do an excellent job of "gourmet-ing" it up, and finish with burgers that are quite good. the mixed drinks are an absolute must-have, too. bacon manhattan, whiskey smash, makers and ginger are all fantastic. somehow i get the feeling it's a nice chain restaurant, not a local burger joint. oh well. i'll see you there next time.

gluten free pleased. first visit i devoured the hamberguesa mamacita & cucumber & black eyed pea salad. was very happy with the gluten free roll, which was not dry at all. i was looking for a great big juicy burger & was not dissappointed! the flavors blended well together. second visit, i was equally pleased with the philly cheese steak burger & tomatoe & blueberry salad. this burger was a little spicy hot, but very enjoyable! what impressed me was the knowledge of the staff concerning gluten allergies. i did not have to educate the staff & felt assured with my safety of eating there. so nice to have peace of mind during a meal. i would recommend this place to everyone, not just those who need gluten free. too bad they are not in my hometown.

the restaurant has a friendly helpful staff (the waiter went through the menu and pointed out his favorites and also explained how the burgers worked). you can choose a lettuce wrap versus any bun, a regular bun or whole wheat. you can also have the angus burger placed on any type of burger or chicken. the restaurant uses local farmers for the cheese and veggies along with making their bread (so there is nothing "regular" about the bun). i had the jive turkey burger which was fantastic. it had a raspberry mayo and a mix of tomatoes and onions. it was super yummy. for dessert i had an orange sherbert sundae which had actual pieces of orange in it. very good.

things to know you pay for the burger only (ranging from 7 to 10 dollars) and then pay for your side (from 2 to 5 dollars). you really don't even need a side the burger itself is so delicious and filling. if you do get a side i recommend the potato salad.
