Give me custom burgers or give me death! While Patrick Henry would probably roll in his grave if he heard me remix his quote, I am sure he would devour Lawrenceburger's food and then ride off into the sunset.
If you are in the market for a great burger (a black bean in my case), and who isn't, you gotta try this place.
I love the patio. I think Paige covered pretty much every amazing aspect of the place, so I will just confirm that they pump out some great burgers and other yummy tummy treats. You should definitely try the fried jalapenos and sweet potato waffle fries with caramel sauce. Delish! I also enjoyed the complimentary basket of peanuts. Deciding on what toppings to put on my black bean burger wasn't too difficult but I was certainly tempted to go all "burger madness" style and make a $15+ burger.
I think the only gripe is that the custom toppings seem overpriced and my black bean burger was a little overcooked. Oh well, it still gets 5 * in my book and I hope you enjoy it as well.
P.S. What's up with the wine corks in the sidewalk planters? It's kinda cool and weird.
It's the Terry's Turf Club of Indiana!
En route to an activity in rural Indiana, my friends and I passed by Lawrenceburger, with its vibrant street corner signage and wafting smells of delicious beef. We knew where we'd be stopping for lunch.
The inside mimics Terry's exactly: an open grill kitchen, bar, baskets of peanuts with shells littering the floor, and of course, an eclectic burger menu. With toppings like goat cheese and horseradish sauce, brandy peppercorn sauce, whiskey BBQ, or peanut butter, you know you're in for a treat.
Our half-pound burgers were served up juicy on a homemade bun. I topped mine with goat cheese, caramelized onions, mushrooms, and horseradish sauce. It was a culinary delight. For sides, I had a cup of coleslaw and Lawrenceburger's famous pulled pork BBQ. So tender, so flavorful; the pulled pork can top a burger or stand on its own. The table shared a basket of fried jalepenos and a basket of sweet potato waffle fries drizzled with caramel sauce. The latter made for a better dessert than a side dish, as it was super sweet. Definitely worth ordering.
Beverages flowed like rivers, with choices from local beers to sweet tea to root beer floats. There was also a popcorn machine at the front of the room, in case you don't like peanuts. During the summer, there's patio seating.
Another thing that caught my attention: while the restaurant is a dive, the bathrooms were pristine. The ladies' room was very clean, spacious, and decorated with brass furnishings and posters of 1950s advertising.
The only downfall of Lawrenceburger was a small, personal gripe. There are personal televisions in every booth. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I detest watching television during a meal. It's distracting. Spend time talking to the people you're dining with. My friends and I tried to turn off the set (which comes with a remote although the monitor is within arms' length.) It automatically turned itself back on. I think we ended up throwing a napkin over it...
Lawrenceburger is one of the tastier eateries you'll find in Indiana. It's definitely worth a weekend drive across the state line to indulge in their mmm-mazing beef.
Price per person: $15.00
The place is small, but as soon as you walk in you hear the sizzle of the grill and smell those burgers cooking just 10 feet from you. All I can say is Wow...one of the best burgers and fries I have ever had for the price. Â Nice, large patty on a great bun and a great flavor...many different burger variations too. Â The night we went, they had PBR bottles for $1....can't beat that!
Review Source:This place has a nice bar feel to it. The sign said to seat myself so I did and the waiter promptly came over with a menu. The menu mainly consisted of their burger and the many different toppings you can put on it. I'm not a burger girl so I got the chicken B.L.T. sandwich.
While I waited on my sandwich I watched American Pickers on the tv at my table and the cook at the grill. Apparently the place is just one room with the kitchen right at the bar. My food came out after a little bit and it was delicious. The chicken was so moist, the bacon so bacony...The fries were pretty decent though I don't know if they were worth the extra $2. So far this is my favorite place in Lawrenceburg. I would definitely stop by here for lunch, and probably dinner, if you're in the area. For under $9 it was not too shabby, not too shabby at all.
