1720 Burger Bar

The food here is average at best and the service is slow. Whether you’re ordering a drink at the bar or something from the menu, the word of the day here is waiting. A couple of quick pour drinks at the bar should be fairly quick but that was not our experience. They were also out of 3 of their tap beers on an early Friday afternoon. That was pretty disappointing.
I had a burger and added Swiss cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, etc. The burger itself was ok but closer to fast food than a gourmet burger. Maybe they needed to clean the grill. They also sent out fries that seemed old and could be described as slightly above room temperature (twice). I gave up and didn’t send them back a 3^rd time.
The staff is not very engaging. They seem to just be going through the motions. They call it the hospitality industry for a reason. I brought a business associate here for a casual drink before an event. I had to apologize to him for the overall experience. Overall, nothing special here. It’s a bar with borderline service and greasy bar food.

Average food but quick friendly service. THE GOOD: only a mile off i95. Quickly seated. Food takes 10 – 15 minutes to arrive. Friendly attentive service. The Unilocal 10% off is nice. THE NOT-​SO-​GOOD: burgers taste more like McDonald’s — over cooked pre frozen. Order them any way you want they will be well done and come warm but not hot. Fried pickles below average lack crunch. Expected better from South Carolina. If this place was in a major city going for gourmet burger joint it would get one star. Automatic gratuity for 2 adults and four young kids also annoying. We would have tipped 20% otherwise.

Great! Awesome! Delicious!!!
These adjectives don’t do this justice. Yeah, it was only a burger, but the taste and the additions to it are yummmmmm! My cheese fries were awesome too!!! Always when I checked in thru the Unilocal app, I got an immediate coupon!
I really like this place and look forward to another visit!!!
I had: basic burger with fries jalapeños, American cheese, and bacon!!!

Every time my family comes here, we always get fast, friendly service, and fast, fresh, and delicious food! I love this place.

Great fried pickles!
Great burger!
Great place to eat!
You will be full and/​or need a to go box!

Burgers were ok but fries and onion straws were cold and soggy. They did not charge is for that. Service was good.

I went with the servers choice, Kelley burger. I normally don like blue cheese but he convinced me I would like it, and I loved it!!! Friendly staff too! I I’ll b back!

Fun trivia and of course delicious burgers. Really wanted to try the burger challenge, but was glad I didn’t when I saw what it looked like.
This one is a «don’t miss» of the area for sure!

We were passing through and decided to try this place out based on the reviews. Usually Unilocal doesn’t fail us.
I know we were there early before the lunch crowd but the hostess who seated us was grumpy and looked like she just woke up. She must have been the most unfriendly person in South Carolina. No good morning, no welcome to Burger Bar. Nothing.
First off the Tater Bombs everybody raved about where just meh. There was an off tasting flavor to it… kind of sour but maybe it is because of the jalapenos? We only ate ½ of the order. The burgers are just okay, nothing to rave about. If you don’t ask them to cook your burger to your likeness then it will just be cooked to well done. You need to say something because the waitstaff doesn’t ask. My burger was dry because if forgot tell the waitstaff and the flavoring was bland. My husband had the philly steak and cheese and he loved it.
All of the burgers come with fries. Substitute anything else and it is a $ 1.00 extra. Don’t ever substitute the salad for the fries because what you get a big bowl of brown shredded lettuce, some chopped tomatoes, and completely covered with cheese on top. And remember that came with a upcharge of $ 1. $ 50 (includes tip) for lunch for 3 people and only one of us left happy and satisfied. Highly unlikely to return.

Stopped hear on a road trip home from hilton head island to northern va. The service was absolutely horrendous. One guy seemed to be manning the entire restaurant. Had high hopes for the food since it was rated so highly on Unilocal.The milk shake took as long as the meal to come out. My friend ordered a beer we had to remind the server of twice, my other friend ordered a coffee and they brought out packets of creamer for her. My food was just ok. The burger was just basic with cheddar cheese but it was dry and slightly over cooked. The friends said their chicken tenders and pimento cheese burgers were good. The tater bomb was the only thing I enjoyed that seemed innovative and well executed. We’re sorry we picked this out of all the other options on the open road.

Good but not amazing. We came at a random time (4pm) but still received excellent service and fresh food. I just wasn’t as impressed with the food as I thought I’d be.
We split an order of tater bombs but they were surprisingly bland to us. It was all potato and almost no cheese on the inside. It tasted a lot like a giant crispy tater tot, which isn’t bad but it wasn’t as good as their description made them sound like they’d be.
I ordered an american ninja burger and added lettuce and pickles. The burger itself was cooked very well done so it ended up being pretty dry. I thought from the description that there would be a little more sauce on the burger but everything was dry. It had great seasoning on it, it was just overcooked. The fried onion strips were delicious but the pineapple was pretty flavorless.
My husband ordered the Boss hog burger and really liked it. The burger was overcooked too but the bbq sauce on it made up for the dryness.
I will say that they absolutely don’t skimp on the portions. We ended up taking half of our burgers home for later. Their prices are fair also. I would definitely come back to try their other menu items, but this time ask for a less done burger patty. We’ll be skipping the tater bombs next time though.

This is not a diet place! I got the redneckinator, a chicken biscuit with gravy, cheese and bacon (brunch only) with chili cheese fries and it was absolute heaven. He got the Optimus burger which had chili, onion straws, 2 patties and bacon between 2 grilled cheese sandwiches. Got an appetizer of fried pickles since they were out of tots!
Everything was heavenly. And there was SO much food we easily have a second feast left over. The atmosphere is great, lots of pop culture references around. Highly recommend!

My husband and I have stopped here twice on two different road trips. We were looking for somewhere that wasn’t fast food where we could get a good meal and a break from driving. 1720 Burger Bar is it! The first time in, it was pretty dead inside, but that didn’t stop us. After all, it was the afternoon, the lunch rush had probably long passed. We sat down and ordered water. Our waitress was so friendly and personable (I wish I knew her name!) and was prompt. We ordered a burger to share and the stuffed tater tots. The tots… SO good… but so so bad for you, but their goodness outweighs the ridiculous amount of calories. Very flavorful. I wish we had ordered those and two salads instead because they were very filling. Our burger (sorry again, can’t remember what we had… total fail) was delicious. I think it had fries on it? And a side of fries… SO MANY CARBS! Unilocal check in for 10% off.
Second visit: still super quiet inside, still came at an off time. Had a salad and fried pickles. The fried pickles were ok, but probably wouldn’t get them again. I had a basic house salad which was tasty!
Overall, if I am road tripping through this area and am hankerin for good food, this is my spot.

I was staying at a nearby hotel and saw the reviews for this place, so I figured I’d give it a try.
The buffalo wings were really good, but came out lukewarm and with no Bleu cheese or celery. I was given Ranch, but these wings had a good kick to them, so I think the Bleu Cheese would have been more beneficial and the Ranch was room temperature.
I ordered the BBQ Pork Sandwich for dinner and was extremely disappointed. Although the amount of pork given was generous and the bun was fresh, I could not eat it. The pork tasted like pepper and had no hint of BBQ at all. At least the fries were good and I was able to eat those.
The service was good. Our server was nice and did check on us.

Favorite place in Florence to get burgers. Couldn’t ask for a better menu; it is one of the few restaurants I go to where I don’t have a usual order because there are too many different items I like. Staff is always friendly and attentive and more than happy to make sure your meal is exactly what you want. 1720 Burger Bar for President

It’s probably a good thing I don’t live nearby because I would spend every meal here! My wife and I were driving through on our road trip and randomly found this place on Unilocal.Very cool retro décor of old video games, TV shows and movies. You can tell they like to have a good time there!
It was dead in there when we sat down but we were there at an off time. Ordered the tater bombs everyone talks about to start off and they lived up to the hype. Stuffed full of goodness, I had to consciously stop myself from destroying all of these. They had an OK beer selection with a couple local beers.
My wife and I split the Pittsburger. Very impressive to look at and delicious to eat. I’m glad we split it because it was huuuuge. I can’t imagine something better than this but I’d have to try some other menu items because I’m sure it’s all incredible.
Overall, I’d love to come again and try everything I can!

Loved this restaurant!
Ordered a coconut skinny girl vodka and diet, not what you expect a burger bar to have and my boyfriend ordered a «liquid marijuana.» We got a buffalo chicken quesadilla appetizer made using some type of pimento cheese. All delicious so far.
Highly recommend the burger I ordered came with teriyaki sauce, pineapple slices, and onion strings. Can’t remember the name on the menu. I chose the «marinated cucumber» as the side and it was delicious little shaved cucumber chips in a sweet and sour pickle juice.
My boyfriend ordered the «Pittsburger» with fried pickle chips and left a happy customer as well!

Great food especially the fried okra.
The local beer was awesome and the wait staff was very accomadating. This place is a keeper.

Unilocal, you have not let me down. As the proclaimed foodie, I was in charge of picking the pit stop to grab some grub. My first pick closed right when we pulled up so this ended up being the place to eat.
We walked in and were seated immediately to see some friendly faces. The menu is pretty big with selections of specialty burgers, build your own burgers, and non-​burger items.
We all ordered burgers since that’s what the place is known for. You can pick different sides other than fries. The sweet potato fries my dad ordered were probably my favorite. The regular house fries were under seasoned, but still good fries.
I ordered the pittsburger and loved it. My whole family loved everything and are still amazed with my awesome food picks.
This place seems like the place to be to watch a game with a bunch of friends. I lived the décor of witty posters of inside jokes and items of nostalgia… Mario Brothers stickers… Love it!
A star short of perfection due to forgetting our straws and under seasoned house fries, but totally lives up to the 4.5 star rating I initially saw. Thanks again, Unilocal

This place is awesome, it’s like eating at the embodied versus if
Great food great atmosphere!
