What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise Boylan Heights for its gourmet burgers, lively sports bar atmosphere, and friendly service. While some found the burgers decent but not outstanding, and occasional service hiccups due to understaffing, the overall experience is highly rated, especially for its happy hour deals and open-air dining option. The creative menu and unique dishes like BBQ nachos are also highlighted as positives.
"Boylan is a go to for a recruitment event I plan for the past three years. Two weeks in March I bring 60+ students and candidates to Boylan for a lunch. Boylan delivers every time! Great food, quickly brought out. The staff is amazing, especially Hannah in Sales and Kirstin as Captain. Boylan has been able to work with the different food limitations of our guests and the quality is excellent each time for all who attend. I highly recommend!"

"It was our first time having lunch at Boylan Heights with the family, and we really enjoyed it. We loved the open-air atmosphere — it was so nice to enjoy a meal while feeling the breeze and watching a basketball game on TV.
The kids were especially excited to see a train go by — that was a fun and unexpected highlight for them!
One small thing: The vegetarian burger I had that day was a bit dry and harder than what I’ve had elsewhere. I’m not sure if that’s how it’s usually served, but it didn’t affect our overall great experience.
We’ll definitely be back again!"

"Chicken was moist and flavorful with a light and crispy breading. I had the BOMB or burger of the month, called Kickin’ Chicken, which is fried chicken on a brioche roll topped with Cole slaw and aioli with hot sauce on the side. My wife had the loaded nachos, which were very good. They made a grill cheese sandwich on good bread for my son. It was terrific—he ate both halves. A bit noisy so we ate outside."

GREAT TAKE-OUT FOR ROMANTIC DATE NIGHTS AT HOME
Sometimes a burger’s what the heart and stomach cry out for, and Boylan burgers are boss. Try the double trouble (two beef patties with American cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato, sriracha mayo and fried egg). If you can both finish one, it must be love!
Good cheap places to eat in Charlottesville VA?
In terms of Dinner and Drinks, I'd probably recommend Boylan Height's or Citizen Burger Bar. The Local (http://thelocal-cville.com/index.php/menus) also has a really good atmosphere for dinner and drinks but they sometimes require reservations.
