I visited this eatery, because of a referral. I am a burger lover! This burger tasted "nice and different". The meat is from New Zealand, so there's a slightly different flavor, but not bad..... Service was great! No matter what you order, you get a small salad..... A little pricey..... I would visit again if I'm in the area...

One may assume, from the name, that the burgers here are fantastic. And one would be correct! The beer is also wonderful, with an array of off-the-beaten-path selections. Dig this place! Belly up to the bar. If I'm in town, it's likely I'll already be there.

Deliciously huge burgers with super topping and fun fries. Went with a large crowd and the seated us without trouble, reservations recommended. Drinks were fast, food was fast and tasty. I love the lamb burger. I also like that you can substitute any protein in their sandwiches. Good beer list. Will definitely return when in Durham.

I almost don't want to write a review so that I can keep "the Bach" a hidden gem but... do unto others... And so here I am telling you all how fantastic and I mean FANTASTIC the burgers and fries are here. The service is always solid, prices very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you get. And your burger comes with a little side salad whether you like it or not so eat up--salad is good for you!

First time coming here. Great atmosphere on the inside. Waitstaff was very helpful recommending items from the menu. It took about half an hour to get our food, but well worth the wait. Plenty of free parking near restaurant. If you are looking for a tasty burger, this is the place to go. Much better than Red Robin.

Delicious food & great service! It was dinnertime and I arrived before the friends I was meeting up with - the hostess went ahead and seated me, and the waiter answered my menu questions, got us waters, and made sure I was well taken care of even though my friends weren't there yet. I had several options for what I could eat that was gluten-free and soy-free. Despite all of this awesomeness, they get a 4-star rating this time because they were out of veggie burgers, and my vegetarian friend had to settle for a salad. That shouldn't happen.

This place was great. They had a wide selection of cocktails, good sodas, tasty burgers, and three sauces that i tried with my fries, and they were delicious. There is also a place to get massages and things like that near it, so that's an option. Would recommend to a friend.

First time in Durham and we couldn't have picked a better first meal! We got fries with dipping sauces as an appetizer, and they were great. I ate a South Lamb burger, which ended up pairing perfectly with my Sage Advice drink. My wife got a regular ol' burger and loved it. Also just a very comfortable atmosphere.

Excellent burger. Who would have thought a burger from New Zealand in Durham would be so good! And in addition they have a burger of the month which they send $1 per burger to charity!

A small group of friends, my girlfriend and I ventured in to Burger Bach on a Saturday evening around 6:30pm. The wait was 45 minutes which was fine, not an issue at all because you could smell the food every time the door opened and it was mouth watering. Once seated, we couldn't order drinks because they were "out of glasses". I get they were busy but my daughter was served water in a plastic cup when we had specifically asked for something different. Her beverage wasn't brought to the table until after our fries were. The beer selection was good but the service was pretty trash. The food tasted great but it wasn't worth not being able to even get a glass of water for 20 minutes. I recommend you go elsewhere like Bull City Burger and Brewery.

Bach is very good, not great in comparison to the other high end burger joints of recent. Service is okay but spotty when busy. Extensive draft beer menu. They do have a good selection of oysters as well, but those tend to sell out during the night. I go back once a year to replay the experience. There are cheaper and there are better for everything they do, but Bach delivers a solid "good" meal.

Great burgers. The salad vinaigrette was not appealing at all. Amazing beer selection. Just get the fries instead of salad and you'll have a five star meal

I came back today and tried the The Black & Blue Tuna. The Tuna was pretty tasty, but the triple cream blue cheese was nasty. It smelled like sour milk and tasted awful. I’m definitely sticking with a good old fashion burger next time.
Original review - Excellent Burgers and Great Fries!!! I love this place! The service is also very good. I usually only eat here on my lunch break, so I don’t usually indulge in the alcohol. But they do have tasty cocktails along with a great beer and wine selection.

I’ve been dining here for years and am consistently impressed with the quality of food and level of service. Tonight we had Marly as a server and Ray, the chef came out to share his love for his craft with us. That is what what made every dish taste wonderfully, pride in work and good vibes. Hate that it’s in a parking lot - everything else makes it totally worth it!

It is very difficult to find grass fed meat and tasty gluten free food. They knocked it out of the park. The burger was juicy and super flavorful and the fries were delicious and gluten free thanks to the dedicated fryer. If you’re in the mood for a quality burger check them out you won’t be disappointed! Also the service was outstanding!

Great selection of burgers, sandwiches, and drinks. Had the fries with gravy and cheddar as an app. Really good! The Wellington burger was cooked great (Really rare) and flavorful. The blue cheese cut through strong! Wife had the Auckland chicken but with a beef patty. She really enjoyed it. I would only say, the mac and cheese needs more of a cheese sauce, semi dry.

The food and service here is always excellent - this time we ordered the pulled pork nachos appetizer and they were SO good. Perfect ratio of toppings, perfect blend of flavors, chips were delicious, and I would order this as an entree if I could! I think these are my favorite nachos from anywhere I've ever been.
The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and requires masks.

Googled Halal Burgers in Durham and the first thing shows up is this place.
Called the place to confirm they verified that they have Halal Lamb and beef. Went in there with a mate and ordered, NZ Nacho (Beef), East Coast and West Coast Burger (Without Bacon). I must say the food was amazing, one of the best burgers I have had in my life. From Presentation to Service absolutely fantastic. Would Definitely recommend someone who is looking for a Best Burger Joint in Durham. (emphasized on Best)

The food was excellent. Our waitress was friendly but a bit long winded, basically reciting the menu we had in front of us when we were clearly ready to order. She took a little longer to greet us and bring us our bill than expected with the small volume of guests present at the time. This was the only reason it lost a star. I got the burger with bleu cheese, hp sauce (like A1), and brown gravy. Cooked to perfection and achieved party in the mouth status. I can't remember what it was called. Only thing I did not enjoy was the brown gravy. Thankfully I got it on the side. The french fries were the best I've had at a restaurant. The cilantro dipping sauce was superb. Ambience and decor was classy and funky fresh. Seating areas and bathrooms clean. Since it was our first time there, the manager came over at the end and gave us a card for a complimentary small fry. I will gladly return.

East Coast and North Lamb were our first burgers. Both were excellent, lots of diversity in the flavors. Side salads were delightful; my favorite of the sauces we got was in fact the salad dressing! Fries were a little floppy but we did get them to go, so that does happen. Overall, excellent burgers. We'll be back again to try some new burgers in the future!

Very very good burgers. I like the pairing of leafy greens with the burger. There's probably a chemical reason behind why greens make the taste of the meat shine more. My buddy and I both ordered the lamb and it was amazing. I will have to go back and try the beef.

Tasty burgers. The gluten free bun got pretty crumbly (which so many do) - many GF options. The fries were a little soggy for my taste. The food took a while to arrive despite a pretty small number of people in the restaurant. Overall, pretty good and would definitely go back.

What a great experience! Happened upon Burger Bach for lunch. Start to finish, one of the best food experiences, ever. Greeted by a smiling host that seated us in Allison's section. She was knowledgeable about the products and menu. As first time dinners with Burger Bach, she helped us make great selections from the vast and delectable choices. The fries and burgers were great, but most striking was the staff. Every person working was smiling and truly seemed to enjoy their jobs, each other and their customers. Well done Burger Bach!

Great place to eat, friendly service, and delicious food. The wellington burger was very good, and the disco fries was also good, although a little pricey.
In addition, I did had to salt my own food, which is a plus for those who eat less salty, and I'm definitely not a heavy salt eater.
The gluten free bun was delicious, so the do have some gluten free options, although we had to send back my wife's chicken burger because the put on the wrong bun.
The gravy on the disco fries is also gluten free, so that's nice for the food sensitive! I'll be happy to come back for more

The burgers are good. Fries are a ripoff (if you’re going to charge that much give larger portions). Sauces are unique, get the sampler! Service was slow, but it was busy so it’s forgivable.

I love the variety of dipping sauces for the fries. But otherwise, our experience was pretty mediocre. Our part of 5 adults was sat at a booth that was meant for 4 people. Our waiter left for the night in the middle of our dinner without mentioning anything to us. And I’m quite confident my Caesar salad never had any dressing on it to begin with…I had to ask for an extra cup on the side.

Great, surprising Burger Place…had never heard of it and somewhat stumbled onto it looking for another place for Lunch. Had the basic Burger “pink” (You order it that way or “No Pink”) holding only the onion and mayo; it was cooked perfectly and was tender w/ a substantial roll to hold everything together…served with a side of very tasty Greens in a tasty Vinaigrette. Fries w/ 2 dipping sauces and house-made ketchup (the only “miss” of the meal was one of them, the Manuka Honey Mustard - which was suggested). Definitely worth a visit…

This very different burger experience is conveniently located near Duke University, Duke Medical facilities and near the Durham Bulls stadium. There is plenty of parking. Our server “G” gave us excellent service, beginning with bringing us a bottle of water for the table. The food at Burger Bach (pronounced “batch”) includes a variety of burgers. Hand cut fries are served with a selection of dipping sauces. The bill is more than at a fast food place, but well worth the price. Note: Burger Bach does not take reservations so you may want to go early on weekend evenings.

I discovered this place a few years ago, and they have the best burgers in town! My favorite is the black and blue tuna burger, and they have great cocktails too! Because I'm a Bourbon enthusiast, I usually go for their pineapple Bourbon lemonade. Oh, and you MUST try the curried honey dijon dipping sauce for the fries. The sauce is so good that I've been trying to figure out a copycat recipe at home but to no avail. Whether I dine in or order takeout, this place is always busy during the evening hours so be mindful of that when making plans to dine here. If you dine here frequently, they have a mobile app rewards program that has perks, including a free birthday burger.

Love, love, love the fancy burgers. We each had a different version of a lamb burger (many options). The drinks are also good and a part of the overall appeal. Also, one of my life's missions is to find the best Brussels sprout dish. Their version is delicious and more on the fresh side vs roasted with vinaigrette. One of the best.
I plan to try the oysters next.

I’ve ordered to go twice from here and it was delicious. Love the fries. I got the black bean burger with the grilled pineapple on it. 🏽delicious. The black bean burger was crumbly so I’d probably get a real meat with it next time. The restaurant looks like a nice chill spot and everyone was really nice.

I was in the neighborhood and looking for a unique restaurant for lunch. I wasn’t interested in usual hamburgers joints that have the same run of the mill choices.
Upon reviewing the menu, I was pleasantly surprised to see a wide verity of beef, lamb and seafood. Everything looked good, but I don’t see lamb burgers often and went with that. Mine came with goat cheese, fresh spinach and a tasty sauce. It also came with a large serving of fresh baby salad greens. The staff was very pleasant and the decor is nice. I now have a new favorite lunch stop in the west part of Durham.

Our server, Autumn was friendly and very patient with our questions regarding gluten and dairy. The fries are made in their own fryer and they use Udi’s gluten-free buns. The fries were good and most of the dipping sauces are gluten free. Burger’s are served with a side salad. I love the variety of burger toppings/types. My burger was good but not great. It was fun to try but I don’t think the quality/quantity was worth the price.
