Find a drool-worthy salad is a difficult task nowadays. You either end up with a limp, soggy mass of spinach leaves and storebought dressing, or you’re confounded by a droopy handful of lettuce leaves beneath a mountain of toppings. It’s a difficult balance to find a bright, fresh, and flavorful salad in any city, much less Nashville. If you’re looking for the proper middle-ground beneath healthy and delicious, then there’s nothing like a salad from Burger Up. We promise.
The interior is warm and boasts wood-accents, highlighting a communal concept with large farm tables and cloth napkins. Burger Up boasts excellent service, a consistent menu, and thoughtful, environmentally-minded consumption policy.
It may be a bit surprising that we're claiming "Burger" Up has some of the best salads in the city. It sounds a little crazy, but it's crazy in the BEST way. Take a look...
The chopped kale salad (pictured) is made with chopped curly green kale, dried tart cherries, pecorino romano, roasted hazelnuts (!!!), and citrus vinaigrette. It has the perfect amount of crunch and a flavorful flare to get you through to dinnertime.
Would you eat a salad with sweet potato? You should! Burger Up offers everything from house local salads made with seasonal vegetables and fresh-cut greens to classic caesar salads and beet and arugula salad. You can add a quinoa patty or meats like bison, turkey, beef, chicken, or salmon for a bit of added protein as well.
No matter what you order, Burger Up remains a Nashville favorite for a reason. The menu is perfect for a mid-week lunch or a Saturday night out on the town, with salads and fried pickles and burgers galore.
