Citizen Burger Stand - Charlottesville

This was our dinner spot for the day we arrived in Cville after a 4 hour drive. It took a stroll on their pedestrian mall and settled in here. Surprisingly, they did not offer any local wines. My wife had their Grilled Cheese sandwich while I had their Southern Burger with fried pickles. We enjoyed our meals except the fried pickles which I did not finish. Our waiter, Will was upbeat, attentive and efficient. The restaurant had plenty of seating including some at the counter and some outside seating. Plenty of tv's to watch sports action.

Nice location with outdoor seating on the mall. lots of options for burger design, gluten free buns, skimpy on the cheese.

Late lunch or early dinner 3:00 on Wednesday. This place is always so crowded it is hard to get a seat during the normal meal times. Sat outside on a beautiful day and had excellent food served by Will. The burgers, regular fries, and sweet potato fries were delicious. The fresh mushrooms were wonderful. Love sitting outside on the mall....until the rude management at Sal's next door started up a leaf blower and blew the leaves into our seating area and on us. The noise was very loud and the Sal's employee did not heed any request to stop. Sal's should either use a broom or vacuum to pick up the leaf debris and not scatter it on guests at other restaurants.

We had a Citizen and classic burger. They are huge and very tasty! Upgraded to truffle fries they were wonderful. Great service and neat atmosphere. Parked in garage block away.

I would not give this carry-out a single star. They did not alert when the order was ready as they indicated they would do about half an hour before closing. They did not fill the order because apparently the did not listen to our simple request. Then, they refused to complete the order with the manager or person in charge so rude, loud and even belligerent that a child in our group was frightened and burst into tears.Frankly, I have never been so rudely treated in the eight years I have lived in Charlottesville. The main restaurant on the Downtown Mall is great. But, don 't go to this carryout/eat-in place unless you like feeling as if you have been slapped in the face.
