Grindhouse Killer Burgers

Grindhouse Killer Burgers on S Lumpkin Street in Five Points has been an Atlanta staple for over a decade, and the Athens location carries that same energy into a two level space with a rooftop bar, patio, and fifteen televisions. With over 1,570 reviews at 4.3 stars, it has found a solid following among Athens burger lovers. The concept is build your own: choose beef, turkey, or veggie as your base, then pile on free veggies and sauces to make it yours. The bean patty for vegans is genuinely good, which is not always the case with non meat options at burger joints. The burger quality is strong, with patties cooked to order and a bun that holds up to the toppings. Fries and shakes round out the menu with the kind of indulgence that a burger meal should deliver. The Five Points location adds dimension with the rooftop bar and patio, which gives it a social atmosphere that goes beyond just grabbing a quick lunch. Dogs are welcome on the street level patio, which is a nice touch. The space handles game day crowds well and has enough TVs to function as a sports watching spot. Grindhouse is open for lunch and dinner most days, closed on Tuesdays. The S Lumpkin Street location places it in the Five Points neighborhood, easily accessible from campus and surrounding areas. Pricing is moderate for the quality, sitting in the $$ range.
