About Nelsons BurgerBar
Description
Let me tell you about one of my favorite burger spots that I recently discovered - Nelsons BurgerBar. This place seriously knows how to craft an amazing burger experience! As someone who's eaten their fair share of burgers across the country, I can honestly say these folks have got something special going on here.
The restaurant strikes that perfect balance between casual and trendy - it's upscale enough for a nice dinner out but laid-back enough that you won't feel out of place in jeans and a t-shirt. And boy, do they deliver on the food front! Their menu is packed with creative burger combinations that'll make your mouth water just reading about them.
One thing I absolutely love about this place is how they cater to pretty much everyone. Whether you're a meat lover, vegetarian, or somewhere in between, you'll find something delicious here. They've even got a solid kids' menu that goes beyond the usual frozen nuggets (parents, you know what I'm talking about!).

Best Time to Visit
From my experience, the sweet spot for visiting Nelsons BurgerBar is during weekday lunch hours (between 1:30-3:00 PM) when the initial lunch rush has died down. But if you're looking for that buzzing atmosphere, the dinner rush from 6-8 PM absolutely rocks - just be prepared for a bit of a wait!
Their happy hour (I won't give specific times since they might change) is arguably the best time to visit if you're looking to sample their menu without breaking the bank. And lemme tell ya, their weekend brunch is becoming quite the local hit - I'd strongly recommend making a reservation for that.
How to Get There
Getting to Nelsons BurgerBar is pretty straightforward, whether you're driving or using public transport. If you're driving, you'll be happy to know there's plenty of free parking available - both in their dedicated lot and on surrounding streets. Trust me, finding a spot isn't the usual downtown nightmare you might expect.
The restaurant is also well-connected to public transportation routes. Plus, several ride-share services operate in the area if you're planning on enjoying their fantastic cocktail menu (which, let's be real, you probably should).
Tips for Visiting
Here's the inside scoop from someone who's become a bit of a regular: Download their mobile app before you go - it'll save you some serious time and sometimes they throw in exclusive deals. I learned this the hard way after missing out on some sweet discounts my first couple visits!
While they do accept walk-ins, I'd definitely recommend making a reservation if you're planning to visit during peak hours or weekend brunch. The place can get pretty packed, especially during prime dinner hours and special events.
If you're bringing your four-legged friend (which you totally can!), request a patio seat when booking. And don't forget to ask about their secret menu items - yeah, that's right, they've got some awesome off-menu specials that the servers are usually happy to tell you about if you just ask.
For the best value, try timing your visit during happy hour. Oh, and if you're a first-timer? You absolutely MUST try their signature house sauce - it's a game-changer! Last tip: save room for dessert. I made the mistake of skipping it my first visit, but their homemade milkshakes are literally worth loosening your belt for.
