The server recommended steakhouse burger has U.S. The popular “Good Day, Sunshine” burger features bacon, fried egg, Tillamook white cheddar, white vinegar mayo, lettuce and tomato. On the Chicago burger, there is peppercorn bologna, celery-salted tomato, cherry pepper relish, sport peppers, yellow mustard, chopped onion, and celery mayo, served on a poppy seed bun and with a dill pickle spear. The burger patron’s creation can be on a lettuce wrap, a whole wheat bun, or a white bun on the Urban classics burgers, which are 100 percent vegetarian fed, hormone and antibiotic free. The rest of the menu features items that all go atop burgers.

One such item is the fried bologna sliders that feature home-made Sequatchie Cove peppercorn beef bologna, American cheese, Fire and Ice pickles and stone ground mustard, served on toasted Neidlov’s buns. The appetizers are thoroughly creative at Urban Stack. Local partners with Urban Stack include Neidlov’s Breadworks, Clumpies Ice Cream, Sequatchie Cove, Sweetwater Valley Farm, Benton’s Family Farm and Springer Mountain Farm. Once you’ve wet your whistle, though, there is plenty of eats to be had on the food menu, and all boast fresh, locally grown and manufactured products. A list of 40 different kinds of Kentucky bourbons, double that number of different kinds of whiskeys, and a page of wines and beers (including some from local breweries like Moccasin Bend Brewery and Big River) all require a separate menu to accommodate them. In reference to the Urban Stack’s claim of “manly drinks,” they have a selection not to be scoffed at. The restaurant was reasonably busy on Monday night, but tables were readily available, and the bar had several places for singles to enjoy a meal and the vast selection of drinks that Urban Stack advertises. On the brick walls are vintage train and factory signs as well as ropes and pullies to set the ambiance. The benches where patrons sit are soft and spacious, across from smooth hard top black tables. As a “burger lounge,” Urban Stack offers a surprisingly comfortable, relaxing atmosphere in a brick walled factory-esque setting. Urban Stack has generated a buzz ever since it opened earlier this year, and this buzz has gotten even louder as more and more locals visit the squat burger lounge off of Market Street. This week’s burger restaurant doesn’t require any imaginative combinations from the guests, as all the work of planning and preparing a gourmet burger is done for you at the Urban Stack burger lounge.

We featured the 3rd Deck Burger Bar, a place that allows guests to dress up their burger any way that suits them. Last week, our column focused on trying local places that claim to have the best burgers in town. Urban Stack is one of the buzziest new eateries in town, touted for their “killer burgers and manly drinks.” Not only does Urban Stack offer the typical beef burger, but they also have Kobe beef burgers and vegan burgers.
