With countless burgers served on the best buns we've ever tasted, we recommend The Classic (get the tots !) and a handmade soda (get the Creamsicle !) and if you're a total baller, one of the shakes!

I recommend the farmer burger , medium, paired with a Hirter Morchl Schwartzbier (dark lager ). The roast goes super well with the meat and cuts through the fat of the bacon and ham . Get the tots !!

Florence H

We tried the farm , mission, falafel and stroganoff burgers . All really tasty and juicy. Loved the tots and sweet potato fries . Atmosphere: casual , friendly . Have to try their sodas next.

Best Burger in my life. The Stroganoff Burger was to die for. I tasted my husbands Farm Burger and equally as good. Great Beer Selection on tap . Root Beer on tap was delicious too. Highly Recommend.

Sarah B

Farm burger omg. Best burger with a fried egg on it (& bacon and ham ) Tots were fine... But the burger !!! <3 5 Stars. Pass on the hard rootbeer . Will try the handmade sodas next time!

Scarlett Anderson????

Got the cheeseburger&was one of the best I've ever had! The bread was a bit sweet tasting & woww!Fries & Sweet potato fries were really good as well . Service was fast even though it was crowded . LOVE!

Hannah Warren

I’ve been here twice - first time about 5 years ago, and then again today. Both times I got the Stroganoff Burger , and both times it was delicious. Perfect ratio of toppings to bread and meat. Yum!

Lauren

The egg cream soda and their insanely delicious cheeseburger is definitely the way to go. Grab a few friends on a cool evening and sit in the beer garden !

Eater

With a solid selection of wursts , a rotating selection of beers on tap , old-school house-made sodas and floats and a great outdoor space , The Pharmacy does it right. [Eater 18 Member]

Prescription-strength beers and burgers made from local cow. Try the farm burger , one of the German brews, or the old-timey phosphates from the fountain . Kick back in the garden . Read more

The cheeseburger is phenomenal! The bun is slightly sweet , the aioli is perfectly balanced and the combo of Swiss and muenster are to die for. Guacamole burger is next favorite. Great slaw too!

Slide Faction Motorsports

The burgers are great and the atmosphere is amazing! I live in North Carolina and make sure I stop at the pharmacy at least once every time I go to or through Nashville!

Greg S.

The stroganoff burger is a creative idea; I liked it a lot. Their patties could be thicker, but the roll is perfect. A couple really cool craft beers on tap too.

Aaron Smith

House made wurst is on point. Great draft selection with lots of unique local picks. Love the beer garden .

Joshua Payne

Simple curb appeal up front hides a wonderful beer garden in the back. Warm white string lights make for a very charming backdrop. Unique beer choices . Tasty burgers ! Try the beer gravy on the tots !

Rob

Amazing non-meat option on all burgers (try The Pharmacy with an Impossible), plus phenomenal brews. Come early, it’s super popular with the locals.

Cameron Gidari

The Farm Burger is unbelievable. Worth the wait, and moves faster than you expect. Grab a beer in the beergarden out back while you wait.

Zeke Franco

Great burgers , amazing fries , and a good selection of beers . Worth the wait. Plus, they give ya a ring when a spot opens up.

Kae Roberts

Wow...I just can't say enough about how good this was! Can't wait to come back for more burgers ! Wait staff was great - especially considering we were seated where the table wasn't even assigned. :)

Dee Dee Ball

I liked the turkey burger adding havarti , beer mustard , pickles and curry ketchup on the side just so I could try it -- if you like a Bloody Mary you will@like the curry ketchup

Shambhavi Balasubramanian

.. They made a special veggie burger just for me! Really tasty! Large portion sizes. Definitely must check out when in Nashville. Didn't like the home brewed beer too much though.

Sydney Stopka

As recommended, the Farm burger is amazing! Excellent sodas . Friendly staff , short wait (15 min), super quick service . Sides could use some work, but overall pleasant experience! Will return. :)

Josh Wolfe

The egg cream soda is really good in my opinion and went well with the rich flavor of the trio of bratwurst I had for my meal. A meat lover must go.

Joshua Roberts

Some of the best burgers , beer , milkshakes , and more you will find in Nashville. Great atmosphere, usually good service . Show up early, the wait can be long.

This place came recommended by some locals. The food and beer selection were perfect. I loved the homemade sodas too. Will return next time I'm in Nashville.

Vivek Surti

Farm burger is a meat lover's dream! Beef , bacon , ham , AND a fried egg . Get it with cheese , grilled onions , and TOTS! Amazing tots .

The Cheese Burger is where it's at! I always want to try something different, but it"s just too dang good to stray from. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants !

Dustin Adkison

Just had the Chorizo burger and it was awesome. Not sure how often they have it available, because it was a special, but get it if they have it. You will love it!!!

Katelyn S

I had the pharmacy burger and it was so simple but amazing!! Tater tots with garden aioli are really good! Highly recommend this place!

Alexa Jane Brooks

100% get the tater tots . Diet starts tomorrow.

Megan Helderbrand

Homemade buns , the best burgers and brats in Nashville, and old school fountain sodas and shakes. Excellent beer selection as well !!!

Hailey Thompson

Amazing atmosphere and food! Super unique with the burgers . Kids love it. The outside is awesome! Just all around an amazing place to take the family out.

Joseph

If you want to try the wurst options the Biergarten platter is worth the $14. Pick 3 wursts including sauerkraut and you can't go wrong

Michael C

Wow. Amazing burger . Perfect bun . The sodas are... Well ... Indescribable. Ginger strawberry . Pharmacy Cream Soda . Whoa!

Megan Brown

The burgers are beyond amazing. Best I've ever had! Beer great too! Great selection on tap !

Derek Scholl

All the hipster employees are constantly opening the back door which let's in freezing cold draft literally every 60 seconds max. Cliffs: don't sit in tables/bar near back door

jacquie p

my tip, never go here on a first date unless you want them to know how laid back you are. SUPER MESSY but SUPER DELICIOUS! also, all the food is local!

Emily C

Love, love, love the burgers here!You can order it without a bun & the sweet potato fries are great!And the beers are pretty yummy too!

Kristen Jeffery

Veggies burger , fries , bratwurst .... it’s all good! Dine outside on nice days!

Tyler Coe

Add Muenster to the farm burger . If you're gonna ever have a soda , this is where to do it. Avoid the "German potato salad ." Regular fries > sweet potato fries . Bring loud friends to compete with crowd

George Joseph

Foursquare claims this is the best burger in TN. Didn't think it was anything special. Good selection of German beers though.

Russ Tate

Go to the bar area, open seating . Great burgers and the libations are excellent.

Cécile

Nicest bar tenders ???? Great beer , great vibes. Be sure to sit in the patio .

Nicole Jones

Tots ! Mission burger is on point. The 3 sausage platter is fantastic. Tell the waitress to bring you the best ones.

Mary Close

Great beer selection , wonderful hand pulled sodas , good food, & the bier garten is awesome! BUT, no pest control outside so if you sit there to eat you'll be overrun by flies!

Matt Barrow

Awesome place. Wife had the classic cheeseburger & I had the currywurst , and we both had the eggcreams. Just awesome.

Ginger Falls

Cool place/great burger-not the best burger "the Belmont grill" in Memphis still holds my heart as the best burger in the world!!!!!

Kyle K

Highly recommended! Excellent food and beer ! Bratwurst was delicious.
