Jon SimpsonMarch 15, 2013Excellent. The beef and cheese are both local and delicious. Make sure to order "red" to get full flavor. Also, the hand cut fries were hot and salted just right. I will come back every time I visit!
Blake SirachSeptember 7, 2014Great burgers. Some of the specials are absurdly huge, so go for the big mini if you want manageable. If you are trying to eat light by getting a salad-- don't fool yourself--bigger than the burgers.
Delicious burgers & an expansive beer list. The truffle fries & shishito peppers are a must try and every burger is delicious. I always leave here stuffed & happy.
Jen JApril 14, 2015Get the cheese fries and a Cesar salad if your vegetarian( both were amazing) NOT the vegan beet burger! Unless you really love beets.
Mat CollisNovember 14, 2017Lovely burger and friendly service. Pointless having a gluten free bun but the burger inside not being gluten free though
Try "The Southern" or the "Citizen Burger" with an Agave Wheat or White Rascal to wash it down. So good!
Gregory RogersMay 13, 2019Burgers are excellent! I had "The Hotness" and it was great. Don't let the name throw you off, it was gggooodddd!
Latarika YoungMay 1, 2019Had the American Classic mini style and it was delicious! Paired it with sweet potato fries 👌🏾
Cristina S.October 6, 2012Th executive burger is very delicious...extremely filling... And definitely not low cal. Great quality beef but if you are not ok with rare red meat tell them not pink... Even the pink comes very rare
Ellie PinesSeptember 2, 2014A solid beer selection and some choice burgers. Oh, and sweet potato fries. Prices are a bit high, but typically worth it.- Ryan KellyMay 20, 2014Great beer list. Great burgers, and requisite sides. Any game you want on the TVs over the bar. Just come join us already!
- Try the cheese fries & The American Classic burger with a few Avery White Rascals to wash it all down. Damn good!! #iLoveCVille
Christina KNovember 25, 2012First time here. Was great. Service was a little slow but I had time to kill. Food was great and ingredients were fresh. Well worth it
Michael WhitmanJanuary 13, 2013Ask the waitress if there are any unlisted beers available. Great selection on the menu, but there are also good ones off of it as well!
Peter BlumbergJanuary 4, 2020Hard to get a seat but it’s worth the wait for quality burgers, good beer and nice atmosphere.
Eric CJanuary 15, 2015TimberCreek Farms pastured,grass fed beef burgers, and great beer selection. Really fun atmosphere!
Reggie LeonardOctober 26, 2014Always a solid option. They're locally sourced, tasty, and have truffle fries and wagyu beef.
Michelle BusbyNovember 3, 2012I love the chili cheese fries if I could ever get them evenly hot throughout!
If you're feeling crazy get some great truffle fries and then more fries with your burger.- Great burgers and the draft list ia always changing based on the time of year
- Tom WhittAugust 7, 2014Fried pickles were some of the best I've ever had. Burgers are delicious. I'm coming back.
- ROCAugust 17, 2014Skip all the fancy pants toppings and enjoy the burgers for what they are....really good meat
Stephanie MarieJuly 10, 2014Great gluten-free buns, and both the burgers and cocktails are incredible!!
Rachael DollinSeptember 8, 2013Get the wedge salad with the citizen sauce and great burger with the sweet potato fries!
Eduardo A. de CarvalhoDecember 17, 2014If you're a true French, do not order the foie gras here. it is far from being what you expect. trust me. c'est vrai!
EduardoSeptember 9, 2012The booths are nice but a lil high... Great for privacy... if you want that. Citizen Burger!!
Darryl RojasSeptember 21, 2014The Maine Root Ginger Beer is the perfect refreshment for a quick break from work.
Margaritas are normally good. Tonight not so much - too sour, no tequila. Lesson learned, stick with beer.
Grilled cheese is extremely greasy. Order it without butter.
Trae HNovember 3, 2012Pricey, slow. Food was average. You pay $14 for a burger, but they have the nerve to charge for a side of BBQ? Lame. Key Lime Pie was the best part of the meal.
JDJuly 14, 2013Pricey by Cville standards. About average for Brooklyn. Wild mushroom bison burger was B+. Beer selection was A+.
Adam Holden-BacheNovember 23, 2012No kids menu here so the cheapest kids options are an $8 4oz burger or a $9 grilled cheese.
