A Bristol institution on State Street, Burger Bar delivers exactly what the name promises, outstanding burgers in a no-frills setting that has been feeding downtown Bristol for decades. The hand-formed patties, crispy fries, and milkshakes hit every comfort food note, and the location on State Street makes it a perfect lunch stop between the Birthplace of Country Music Museum and shopping. This is where locals eat, and that's always the best recommendation.
