Grab a Bite at Burger Bach in Stonefield

Shawn Kochhar, staff writer

Burger Bach is a restaurant located at The Shops at Stonefield in Charlottesville.  It is an exceptional place to grab a bite to eat while shopping or passing by. Nestled in a quaint location between the movies and shops, Burger Bach makes for a perfect meal on a day out.

As I walked in, I immediately noticed the smell of delicious food, the friendly customer service, and superb style of the place. Seating is plentiful; there is even an option to sit at one of the stylish table booths or at the bar with televisions for your viewing pleasure. The brick walls with lit up signs, metal chairs and fashionable ceiling fixtures give the inside a modern, delightful, and welcoming feel.  Burger Bach is a great place to get drinks and socialize.

The New Zealand influenced menu has a variety of different burgers, sandwiches and starter dishes, offering variety without completely straying from typical burger joint menus. The chili cheese fries I ordered came topped with an avocado creme sauce that brought the dish together. They have a plethora of beers on tap, a great selection of wines, and the staff routinely check to make sure you have everything you need, including fix-ins for your burger or sandwich. The menu and drinks are high priced but reasonable considering the great quality and location.

Their meat is 100% grass fed and pasture raised from Silver Fern Farms in New Zealand. The chicken is organic, free ranged from the local Shenandoah Valley. Vegetarian patties are always made in house. The house made buns make all the difference and add an original taste.

The price is higher than at chain restaurants, such as Five Guys. However, I recommend Burger Bach if you are looking for quality and amazing service. Whether you are out for a quick bite or spending the night with friends, it is quickly becoming a local favorite.
