Burgers & Bottles

Sadly, my close-​to-​home cheeseburger cravings will have to go elsewhere… Burgers and Bottles has closed it doors.

Great food, unassuming storefront, clear hd tv, good beer selection, clean, nice staff. A gem in the valley. Comfortable for dining in or take out. Also, good old school milkshakes. Burger and bottle for $ 6. Happy hour. Yum!

Great burgers!!! Everyone was so friendly and it was an enjoyable atmosphere!!! My favorite part was that they had orange blooms on tap! AMAZING!!!

If Burgers and Bottles was in a competition for best ambiance, they would absolutely lose — but it’s a burger joint and their focus is the magic that happens between the buns.
Based on my first experience here, everything I ordered was spot on. From the spicy ranch with my delectable fried green tomatoes, to my «BLEU’S BRO BURGER» with a flavorful Angus beef patty, danish bleu cheese, a toothsome applewood smoked bacon, red onion, tomato and iceberg lettuce. Washed down with an Agave Wheat Ale, it was Burgers and Bottles heaven.
There are six signature burgers on the menu from $ 8.45-$ 8.75, but you can build your own ¹⁄₃ lb. burger for the same price. Upgrade to ²⁄₃ lb. for $ 2 more.
Half a dozen chicken sandwiches and burgers are also on the menu, such as the TAOS CHICKEN SANDWICH ($ 8.95) made with «all natural hormone free chicken breast», chipotle mayo, pepperjack cheese, roasted corn, black bean salsa, and hatch green chilies on a toasted brioche bun.
Unique sides such as fried green tomatoes and «bottle caps» (deep fried jalapenos) are offered in place of the seasoned fries, as well as sweet potatoes and fried pickles. ($ 2.99-$ 4.99)
Last but certainly not least, you will find a plethora of local and domestic beers both on tap and by the bottle. Excellent complements to excellent burgers.
I am definitely a fan!

Lovely place and great food. Try the fried pickles snd their slidrts. A welcome addition to the neighborhood.

not sure if I came in the wrong door but nobody acknowledged me upon entrance so I walked to the bar & sat down. Finally I was offerred a menu and ordered a spinach salad and then moved to a booth. Just a moment later the same woman who took my order tried to serve me someone else’s food. Short term memory loss? Then I took a few minutes to examine the dirty booth I was seated at. There were fries & misc other food remnants in the seats and all over the floor. The salad was ok but very generic.

Best Onion Rings I may have ever had. We went on the hostesses recommendation to get them and were not let down. You know how the onion sometimes slithers out of the crispy shell? Not this time, no way, no how. They have to double fry these bad boys or something, they were fantastic.
You could tell the burgers were hand made and the ingredients were fresh. It’s unlucky they are in not a busy area because the bf and I were pleasantly surprised. We had a bottle of beer with our burgers because why the hell not. We will be back, even without Groupon deals or anything like that. It’s the place you go when you are craving a really good burger.
The place is a little more expensive, BUT, you could taste the difference in the quality. It’s not a place I can afford to go to every other day, but definitely a go to before an ASU game or a low key night. I actually wish they had a van or a bus that brought people to and from ASU for food, great place to pre-​game.

This place is a-​ok just like the 3 start rating says when I selected it. The burgers taste great, so did the fries and the service was good as well. I bought a Unilocal deal but it was just me and my girlfriend, hardly enough people to eat $ 40 worth of burgers (since it’s not good for the beers) so we were full paying customers this time.
I love going to places that have a fun ambiance since I can make a gourmet burger at home so I want the experience to be different and this place was lacking a bit in that. Also the burgers are a tad bit pricey, but knowing the cost of running a business and paying all those employees, it’s probably reasonable.
One thing you must, must try when you go are the bottle caps, these deep fried jalapeño poppers, very tasty, especially with their dipping sauce.
Looking back inside when we were about to drive away I noticed a sign that they have $ 3.50 milk shakes, I seemed to missed that on the menu otherwise I would have ordered one for sure!
Just because I didn’t give it 4 or 5 stars though does not mean we won’t be back, they have an excellent local beer selection which I hope to try next time we go back, plus it’s close to the greenbelt bike trail so I can see us swinging by for a burger. I can certainly see us stopping here, sharing a burger (they are really filling) and fries instead of driving down to In N Out on Scottsdale/​202.

Came here for the first time on Saturday night. My boyfriend and I live right up the street, and had considered eating here for the past few months, so we finally made the 5 minute treck to B&Bs.
I wasn’t expecting much, ambiance wise, so there really wasn’t a let down there. However, it smelled very «clean» inside. I like cleanliness, and don’t want to get sick, but it was a very strong fabreeze/​glade plug-​in cover-​up-​something disgusting smelling-​smell. I want to smell grease and salty air at a burger place!
We both had the ‘Blu Bro’ burger, with fries. They were pretty good. The red onion should definately be sliced 4x’s thinner, but still, good. Next time I will ask for mine with out mustard, since I apparently don’t like a blue cheese/​mustard combo. We also shared an order of fried pickles, which were yummy, but boring after 2 or 3.
I am giving four stars because I want to see this place stick around. I will be back.

WOW! So glad I found this place! Okay– you will notice some of the reviews on here complain about the price but they fail to mention not only do you get a fully loaded specialty burger with your choice of protein (beef burger, chicken breast, or veggie patty) but you also get a side of their delish fries that are seasoned perfectly!
We have been here twice already– first time we had:
–Santa Fe burger (havarti cheese, green chilies, avocado relish, roasted red
peppers & tomato served on our toasted pretzel bun) w/​fries
–Shroomie w/​chicken (havarti cheese, garlic mayo, caramelized onions & oven
roasted portabella mushrooms served on our toasted pretzel bun) w/​fries
They have a signature sauce that is really good with the burgers and the fries too.
***Their pretzel bun is outta this world tastey! OMG! Best bun ever!!! They make it fresh in house!***** MUST TRY!
We just got back after eating there again tonight; we had:
–Santa Fe burger –this time with the double patty! (havarti cheese, green chilies, avocado relish, roasted red peppers & tomato served on our toasted pretzel bun) w/​fries
–Memphis w/​chicken (sharp cheddar cheese, southern slaw, sweet BBQ sauce,
homemade pickles & caramelized onions served on our toasted onion bun) –sub for pretzel bun, added bacon, and got sweet potato fries for only $ 1 more
The sweet potato fries were soooooo good! Asked for a side of ranch and it was also homemade– man was it good, I have mayo and this ranch was perfect! A little runny which I love about a good ranch, and it had some different spices in it. It was so good I dipped everything in it. The homemade pickles were also incredible!
***So to re-​cap:
Amazing homemade foood
Great Quality
Clean restaurant
Good Prices
Plenty of seating and clean restrooms
And Awesome Service!
Oh there are also TV’s if you like to watch sports. :-) Try it!

A great place for great local beer and delish burgers. I hope more people come here soon, it was really quiet when we went.
Not Super Fancy, a little price for a burger but so worth it.

This place is way better than what I thought it would be. I live right down the street and have been iffy about trying it, simply for the fact that it’s rarely busy.
I now think it’s a shame that it’s not packed all the time. The santa fe burger was absolutely excellent and the sauce they serve with the seasoned fries complimented the meal very well.
Another plus, especially for you midwestern folk, THEY SERVE OLD STYLE! I haven’t found any other place in the valley that serves it.
This place was definitely worth my while and I am definitely coming back, soon.
Great food, great service. Thank you very much Burgers & Bottles!

Wow. A vegetarian of 26 years gives this meaty sensation two cow thumbs up. I went there during happy hour and got a burger and a beer for $ 10. Considering the size of the burger and that it was AZ local beer from San Tan brewery, I was pretty impressed.
I ordered the shroomie burger which was piled with shrooms and dripping havarti cheese everywere on a pretzel bun. It was so good!!! The pretzel bun put this burger into another category. The bun was so soft yet toasted and had this great pretzel flavor.
I was waited on by… you guessed it… an ASU student! She was very nice and attentive. She made sure I had everything i needed.
I will be back to tackle the rest of the burgers.

I have been to this place twice and both times ordered the, i want to say «the classic», but my head hard drive wants to call it something other then that. But yes i ordered the burger that has cheese and bacon, maybe it is called «the american», cheese, bacon, lettuce, onion, stuff that go on burger. so i got that both times and no complaints. good product in my opinion
my most recent visit, they had a special going that was any burger and a pint of drink for ten bones, fries are also included. so 10 bucks is a good price for eat and drink. they had the moving picture windows displaying whatever college bowl game was going down, so they passed the «are the pictures moving in your windows worthy of the glance from my eye?» test.
i asked for some water and they gave me the cup they sell other folk to fill with soda. you know what, they gave me that cup for free, so i could have a drink of some water. i thought that was mighty nice of them to do.
the staff was competent and friendly. i look forward to consuming burgers from this establishment in the future, as long as fate does not forbid.
i read pitbull man review and was bummed he had such a rough time at this place. for a minute, i thought i was on the wrong review page, cause from my experience, one would have to practically put forth their own effort to have such a unsatisfactory incident at a place that, for me, was quite simple and smooth.
so to sum up, good product, proper price

This places sucks and is completely overpriced.
I took my kids here last weekend because we live around the corner and their Facebook page says «Kids Eat Free on the Weekends!». Sweet, I took the kids over and ordered our food. My bill was $ 25.00. I asked the cashier, who was half dead and could have cared less about us, why I was billed for the kids meals. I physically pulled up their Facebook page on my phone and showed her what it said. She told me «Sorry, we don’t do that anymore. My boss is just lazy and never removed it.»
Awesome! Thanks for honoring what you have clearly written on your Facebook page! Way to make good with your customers! There was a line of people behind me and arguing with this corpse would have gotten me nowhere so I sucked it up and paid for the food.
We got our food and it was less than impressive for price. My kids each got the kids sliders and fries meal. The burger patties are paper thin and resemble rubber. I could have whipped them off the walls and they would have kept their shape. They also had the smallest amount of ketchup and mustard I have ever seen on a burger. My $ 10 Santa Fe’ burger or w/​e it was called had the same tasteless rubber pattie, and a bunch of toppings. If it wasn’t for the toppings, it would have been dry and gross. The only thing that was decent were the fries and they were certainly nothing earth shattering.
I have absolutely no idea why anyone thinks this place is awesome. Aside of being lied too about kids eating free on the weekends, my burger was sub-​par at best and the kids sliders were gross. For the same price I could have made 20 of my own burgers which blow these things away, or I could have eaten a Zipps burger for less, which destroys anything these guys make.
Seriously, save your money. This place is way overrated.

Went for this place with a fellow Unilocaler who had good things to say. I agree, good burger! The bread was soft, the bacon crispy and the fries hot! Burger was cooked just right and I liked the way the menu was set up so you could build your own. Looking forward to going back.

I went to this place with my wife because it was new and we’re always looking for new places to eat. We were the only two people in the place and would have thought that the owner, to make a good impression and show gratitude for what business he did have might have come by the table to ask how the food is, make small talk or anything. He sat at their front counter watching a baseball game when we got there. The waitress took our order, he went back to cook it and resumed his place at the counter to watch the game. We felt like we were putting the guy out to have to pull away and actually cook for the only two customers he had.
As far as the food is concerned: You can grill a great burger at home with decent meat and the fixin’s you want to put on it. In other words, it wasn’t anything special and certainly nothing that I would go back for.
Bottom line: Scottsdale doesn’t need another $ 9.00 burger place and I wish the staff could have put more effort to appreciate our patronage.

An enjoyable burger, a concept that could work, a friendly staff, but still a bit of a way to go before it’s ready for primetime. Burgers & Bottles really does have a lot of potential to work with.
The burger was pretty good. $ 8.75 is a little pricy, but that isn’t asking too much for a quality burger and fries nowadays. I went with the «Shroomie.» The meat was really good, and the mushrooms and onions were very high quality. A marsala wine flavoring really brought it all together. I wasn’t too impressed with the bun. I upgraded to sweet potato fries. Very good, very crispy. The meal was good enough to make me want to give Burgers & Bottles another try.
So, what’s missing from this place…
The «bottles.»
I saw the sign that a liquor license hearing is scheduled for next month. That’s good; but with a name like Burgers & Bottles, I’m expecting beer and/​or wine. There is a tap and some empty beer bottles in preparation for the license, but for right now it just feels like a tease.
A true ambiance.
There’s kind of a diner thing going on in the seating area. The tables are wood, the walls are a mustard yellow, and there are old coca-​cola and PBR pictures hanging on the wall. But the cash register and «bar» has a modern look with flat screen TV’s and track lighting. It probably would be more appealing to have gone all the way modern or nostalgic. I’d pick the modern. A burger, a beer, and a game in a Starbucks or Chipotle setting would make for a great place to me.
A better online presence.
No website of its own. A Facebook and Twitter page with a few pictures, but no details about the restaurant. Burger & Bottles really should post its menu somewhere online. I had no idea what they actually served until I walked in. They have several specialty burgers and chicken sandwiches, and a build your own. They also have salads and shakes, a few side options. I only decided to give the place a try because it’s right around the corner from me and I saw its sign. I would’ve gone in sooner, but I had no idea what I was going to walk into.

I’m giving this place a 5 because it’s one of the best burgers I’ve had in Phoenix. The real score is somewhere between a 4 and a 5 though.
I truly dig the burger. They clearly use quality meats — in fact, they advertise this. The fries here are fantastic as well. We grabbed this to-​go, and the fries were still crispy and perfect. They don’t have beer quite yet I don’t think, but they will in a few weeks. They do have a really cool assortment of soda bottles though.
I like the concept and the execution. I’m glad this is near my house. The owner and the staff are cool, and I hope this restaurant succeeds.

This place is brand new, and I won’t be going back. the fries were small and not very good! I ordered the bro blue burger… there was no bacon on it!? what?! And the patty seemed like it was a Pre made one you can buy at a grocery store. Way to much lettuce on it. and for the fries and burger it was almost 10 $!way over priced !! And not very good! I don’t recommend this place!
