The heart of the menu revolves around the burgers—each patty cooked with care, seasoned just right, and presented with fresh, classic toppings.

I just finished my burger and fries from Uncle Curt Curt’s and WOW... The smoked flavor on that burger brought a tear to my eye. The fries are out of this world. I don’t want to eat a normal fry again. The texture and seasoning on this batter works so well with the thin slice of potato. My buddy let me try one of his smoked wings and it’s by far the best smoked wing I’ve ever had. Incredible stuff all around!

Decided to give Curt's burgers a try last night and was definitely not disappointed. Burger was cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly and came with these amazing battered potatoes and all the fixins. So excited to have this in the neighborhood. I will absolutely be back, thanks Curt! I can't wait to check out the new mobile kitchen too.

Some friends and I visited Uncle Curt Curt's for lunch today during Chattanooga Burger Week and it was awesome! Curt Curt greeted us in the parking lot, took our order, and promptly got to work. Highly recommend the fries. Never had any like them and they were amazing. I want to see Uncle Curt Curt try fried pickles. Our food came boxed for takeaway but we enjoyed the meals in the tailgate of the car in the parking lot. Can't wait to go back and try the wings which were sold out due to high demand! Uncle Curt Curt's is truly a "hidden gem" on Brainerd Rd.

We greatly enjoyed our experience of this *Hidden Gem* off Brainerd Road in Chattanooga, TN. Curt's burger joint was one of the participants in Chattanooga Burger Week. Finding his location was a bit of an adventure, as it is tucked away behind a home remodeling store with no signage we could find. When we pulled up into the parking lot, we were greeted with some fun R&B music and then Curt came out to take our order. We all got the Brisket Burger with fries, which was his Burger Week special. Great burger, great brisket, unusual and delicious home-cut fries. The burger bun wasn't anything special. Curt spent a few minutes entertaining us. It was a really good experience. Don't expect fancy. Don't expect to eat there. Get the fries!

Great cheeseburger and home fries! Streamlined process for ordering ahead. The "order now" button on the website takes you to text messaging. It was fast and easy.

Hands down the best burger I've had in Chattanooga. Unbelievably juicy and tender with a great smoky flavor. Just like everyone says, the fries are out of this world. My wife got the Salmon plate and told me it was the best piece of fish she's ever eaten. Great local spot right on Brainerd, and I can't wait to go back
