Grillshack Fries and Burgers - East Nashville

Not just good burgers and excellent fries. Dining alfresco is great. Love this place. Chicken wings also.

Best fries!! The fries are so so so good! Burger toppings were super fresh. My only feedback is that it's too much bun for the patty. Burger patty is good. Just wish the bun was smaller.

Terrible service. I ordered a burger and kids tenders and fries. (The person at the window most definitely saw I was with a small kiddo.) Instead I was given and charged for a 1lb chicken tenders and fries. When I went back to the window to explain the mix up they said well there's not much difference in the kids and the 1lb. I said yes there is! There's a difference in price and amount of food. I specifically ordered for a child. She's like well I figured you could take it home as left overs. Ummm, Excuse me what??? In my head I'm thinking...Now we're just charging and placing orders for whatever we think is best for the customer?? So instead of making it right she looked at me and said do you want me to take out some of the tenders and fries? Well you can imagine I was pissed. Never going back. They should've apologized for the mix up, fixed the order and refunded me the difference without hesitation and without the back and forth. That would've been proper customer service. Honestly mad at myself for going here.

On a dark and dreary Saturday evening I needed good food and quick. My lady was out of town so my usual restrictions related to gluten free and veggie options were not in force so I decided to give full heed to my appetite for something I wanted-something tasty, something comforting and satisfying. A burger and fries.Now, where to go. Since I'm fairly new to EAST Nashville I decided to hit up the Yelps and I remembered that one of the selections presented to me had been recommended by an Eastie, The Grill Shack.I checked out the photos, the reviews and decided it was worth my time, money and calories and made my way down to this literal shack-beside the railroad tracks.It looks like a bait shop or some sort of mom-pop appliance or hardware store form the past but if you look closely you'll see a walk up window, a menu a table with some supplies and a few picnic tables for sitting.The crowd assembled there that night didn't speak or nod or share words, it was like we were there for our fix and didn't want to acknowledge the need we had, for a burger and fries.After ordering we waited in silence until the good goodness was ready. Can I say it was worth the wait and the time and the money and the calories. Both burger and fries were solid, no shame in their game. They have the receipe down for spicy ketchup-it's better than that national joint from TX that's moving in to the Nashville area. If my lady would allow, I'd eat it once on Monday, twice on Wednesday and three times on Sunday. When you need a burger and fries you don't need fancy, you need good honest solid food-Grill Shack is all that and more. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Had a long day of flying and wanted a burger. We were here from AZ and wanted to try places we don't have there. I picked here and it was so good! If I lived here I would definitely be a regular!

Anytime I'm away from home, I like to explore the foodie scene. I was in Nashville and hungry for a great burger so I searched Yelp and this came up. I thought, "Why not."This definitely qualifies for a spot on Diners, Drive-ins & Dives. This business is in an area of the city that is in the midst of gentrification, so it's a mish-mash area of decrepit business and homes as well as abodes worthy of being featured in Architectural Digest. This place draws from the blue collar community as evidenced by a half dozen patrons who drove up in their work trucks. It was 1:30 pm and people were still having a meal.The business is on a corner lot facing Riverside Drive with the rail road tracks behind it. Not much has been done to spruce the place up but that didn't seem to deter hungry patrons.I ordered the 1/3 # burger reportedly from locally sourced beef with a side of fries. The employee was friendly enough, took my order and let me know that it would be ready in 12 minutes. And in 12 minutes, ready it was. My gosh, the serving of fries was large enough to feed three people. I don't know what their secret was but the crunch on the fries was incredible . The bun was nicely toasted, the meat was close to well done and the condiments were on the side and overall it was an enjoyable meal.Although the meal was good, there is nothing I experienced that would cause me to return. I would have given another star had the exterior appearance been more pleasant. All it takes is a coat of paint. There are no restroom facilities on site.

If you want the best "backyard" burger and ginormous fries, check out Grill Shack. One of my favorite burger shops in town!

I love this place! Maybe my favorite burgers in town. And DEFINITELY my favorite fries. The fries are SO good. I recommend the Grown Up Grilled cheese and add a patty so it's a patty melt. I got that for the first time the other day. I bet it's even better with grilled onions - next time I will do that. Comes with house made ranch - also excellent. But the regular burger is also fabulous. Always friendly service.Not a lot of tables.

Visited TN. and now if I'm ever near this place you can bet I'll be eating there. Food was excellent reminded me of a true mom and pop shop.

This place has amazing burgers! We're visiting Nashville this week and this place came highly recommended by a local. It did not disappoint. My daughter and I stopped for lunch. We both had the Grillshack burger and fries with an IBC soda. The burgers were flavorful and juicy and the hand cut fries were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle - in a word, perfect! There is simple picnic table, shaded outdoor seating and great music was playing on the radio. Service was friendly and fast. Highly recommend this place for a great meal.
