What's Inside the Best Burger Downtown?

Teddy's Cheeseburger is the best burger in downtown Nashville due to our meticulous attention to detail. We've deconstructed the classic cheeseburger and elevated every single layer. Learn about:

  • The perfect patty: We season our signature E3 Ranch Black Angus beef with our secret blend of spices to enhance the natural beef flavor without overpowering it.

  • The foundation: We serve our burgers on custom-baked toasted potato buns — soft enough to bite through but sturdy enough to hold everything together.

  • The finishing touches: We top Teddy's Burger off with crisp pickles, fresh onions and sharp cheddar cheese. Every ingredient we use is fresh and perfectly balanced.

We know there are endless places to get a burger, but Teddy's stands out due to its local appeal and our commitment to using high-quality ingredients. Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our customers have to say, per Tripadvisor:

“I saw the sign about voted best burger…OMG, it’s definitely not a fake story. I would definitely say it’s one of the best top burgers I ever had. First timer and won’t be the last. Everyone was so friendly and nice. I also loved the stage person singing. I was just stopping by, and was so glad I stopped.”

“2nd best cheeseburger I've ever had. Like the 1st, the ratio of bun to meat to cheese is perfect! I came here during the Sippin’ n' Pickin Songwriters Showcase on Monday evening, and the ambience was exactly what I needed after a long day's work and the pouring rain - intimate acoustic set with wonderful singer/songwriters. Definitely a must-do on a Monday to start your week right!”
