We went to check out the DEEP FRIED PICKLES .... we wound up ordering a second order once we polished off the first basket ... they were loved by all .....

Our waiter James was so great ... he was attentive to our every need and even went above a beyond to make a special brownie sundae for my sister 's birthday (a surprise) he came out and sang as well .... he made our visit perfect !!!

the food was crazy good ... everything was so delicious !!

grilled cheese with bacon on sour dough (so cheesy and good), huge burger with potato wedges (potato wedges were covered with rosemary and were so good) ...

next time I am visiting my sister ....I am definitely going to Burgermeisters

I wanted this to be my go-to hamburger joint but it didn't live up to the hype (I was told they have awesome burgers! They don't...)

I gave this place 3 tries and each time I was bummed. The burgers are a notch below okay. Honestly, Fuddruckers has way better burgers and fresher condiments. Something tastes very "sysco" about Burgermeisters.

The service was good, the atmosphere is too dark so bring a flashlight for the menu.

I find it interesting that the majority of people who have given this place 5 stars are from out of town, and I am further hypothesizing that they have only eaten here once. The first time I ate here, I absolutely loved it. My chicken sandwich was delicious, as were the fries. But on my return visits when I actually tried the burgers and other entrees, I was seriously disappointed. It is amazing that the burgers, which are topped with so much stuff, are still pretty tasteless... I don't think the quality of beef they use is very high. They make burgers taste watered down, if that is possible. And please don't even consider eating the tacos; the last time I made this mistake, my stomach revolted against me for a good 24 hours. Oh, and the bottled beer is pretty damn overpriced. Still, the chicken sandwich they have on the menu is pretty good, so I'll go back for that because I live in West Asheville. But the next time you want a really great burger, do yourself a favor and go to Usual Suspects. Much better for about the same price.

Burgermeister's seemed like it'd be a good local burger joint / bar to put in rotation, but since my first visit, it's been losing me a bit.

The interior is usually pretty loud with TV / music / loud children, etc. So it's kinda hard to relax and enjoy your meal sometimes. But that's really not that big of a deal, you get that a lot of places. There are lots of cool old record covers lining the back wall which are fun to look at and the tables are all covered in crazy old 'news of the weird' type ads and articles. The servers are nice enough and don't hover and the people behind the bar are always really nice.

The food is ok. The burgers are big and kinda soggy (which my boyfriend doesn't mind, but isn't for me). They are also made with a juicy onion topping that I usually ask to be left off. The fries and the onion rings are decent and crispy. I wish they'd make smaller portions and charge less.

I also might be biased against the burgers here because I've spent most of my life enjoying the kind of top-notch burgers that can only be made in Texas (beef is one thing they do right).

This place is funky! But don't let that deter you. It kind of grows on you after eating there a couple of times. Their hamburgers rule, and I don't know why you'd order anything else, but they have other stuff that sounds good. I just can't bring myself to passing up a burger here. I wish I could try them all. Maybe they should have one burger that is divided into 4 different kind of burgers. I would guess you can't go wrong with any of them. If you're looking for a good burger joint, look no further.

they have carpet.  uggh

food was so so.  I'll give it another try, it looks like they may of renovated it recently.  Or so I noticed, cause I thought they had shut down for good, but it was for construction or soemthing.

I really wanted to like this place but got sick twice after eating here (once after handling a suspiciously greasy catsup bottle).  They REFUSE to toast the hamburger buns, if you ask them to they will lightly toast one side.  They bring you this hot burger on a cold, white, "take-and-bake" roll.  I started ordering the burger with toasted sourdough but after feeling ill the second time I decided not to return.  The beer is okay here but I just feel like their dedication to cleanliness or food quality just isn't here.

Burgermeister's RULES!

I had an amazing burger that came with all kinds of delicious, artery-clogging stuff on it, including fried onions and pickles.

They also have really cheap pitchers of PBR (or as our outrageously friendly waitress referred to it--Peebers) and all kinds of tasty appetizers. LOVED IT!

The service was pretty good, however, I've tried their spinach dip and it wasn't very good.  The fried pickles are great!  But I haven't had anything else I really liked there.  I didn't even really like my burger very much.
