Where to get burgers in Nashville: 12South, the Gulch and Germantown

Last checked Oct. 20, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Nashville’s burger places are spread around the city. 12South has Burger Up, the Gulch has Cledis on Eighth Avenue South, Germantown has Jack Brown’s, and Bellevue, Charlotte Avenue and Charlotte Pike have Cledis, Hugh-Baby’s and Jack in the Box.

How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Nashville’s city limits, the same data behind our local business directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 20, 2026. We added Burger Up, Gabby’s and the other Cledis and Hugh-Baby’s locations from their own sites. Burger Republic’s site no longer lists its Gulch restaurant, so we list its Lenox Village location instead. We left out places whose sites did not load for us. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run one of these places? Write to us to correct your entry.
