    Beyond Burgers here are amazing, I recommend the mushroom Swiss or if you like it spicy, the reaper. The regular fries are better than truffle. Come check it out, great menu!

    The first time I tried this restaurant I was drawn in by their "lettuce wrap" option in place of a hamburger bun. The burger arrived with 2 pieces of wilted lettuce. One placed on the bottom of the burger and one placed on the top as if they were the bun. Nothing close to being a lettuce wrap. It was impossible to eat without a fork. I was extremely dissatisfied with my meal. However, a few weeks later I decided to give them another chance. This time I made sure not to order a burger but instead a Caesar Salad along with a Side House Salad. The Caesar Salad was over $8 and the Side House Salad was half that price. When they arrived, I received two salads that were the exact same size. Side salads. It's safe to say that I will not be a returning customer.

    We went for the first time yesterday after hearing a lot of good things. The food was really good, the smash burgers are awesome, little messy but worth it. We had pretzel nuggets (a substitute for the fries) also great. Our server was also good, really attentiive and on top of her game. We definitely will be back.

    The better half and I decided to try Prodigy Burger Bar for the first time! Needless to say, I was very impressed with my turkey burger and side salad! I ordered a turkey burger on a lettuce bun, with bacon, American and Gouda cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickle, red onion, sautéed onions, mayo, ketchup, mustard and avocado! It was delicious!! I ordered it with a side salad and the apple vinagrette dressing, loved that it was a real salad and that no iceberg lettuce was involved!! I snuck some of hubby's fries and they were yummy too, a sweet/salty combination, cooked perfectly. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it. As well as everywhere else right now, they seem to be having trouble with staffing so come with some time to have a drink and enjoy your time there - or maybe if your looking for employment...😁👍🏻

    As soon as I walked in I was greeted by Michael P. the server for the bar. (I sat at the bar) He was super friendly, personable, funny and an overall joy!! Great segue into some great food! My food came out hot and fresh! The Fried Green Tomatoes & the sauce that comes with it are a must try!🔥😋 I'm not a patty melt type of person but the Prodigy Melt was pretty good! The fries are good with whatever season they dusted on them! They have some great menu items and I can't wait to get back and try them!!

    Usually it's a pretty good experience. The last time wasn't not good at all. It was pretty terrible in fact I'm not gonna go to prodigy? For A. Long time and the survey did try to make it. Right but? Just everything we got appetizer was messed up and the salad was messed up. The meat wasn't cooked it was just. Not for me..

    I absolutely love the burgers and fries here !! I always build my burger. This time I got the single patty mushroom and pepper Jack cheese on a pretzel bun with salt and vinegar fries. The fries do not have a strong vinegar vibe..they are seasoned just perfectly and the cheese sauce is pretty decent. Also the chilli is good it's more of a sauce you might put on fries or hotdogs not a dish on its own. I was a bit disappointed in the Greenwood location because the service isnt near as friendly as the w. 10th st. Location. Still not bad service..just a little "dry". Still, we will return but probably to the w. 10th st. Location :).

    They have a staffing issue, but we got our drinks and food pretty quickly considering the circumstances. The meals are expensive: $15 for a small burger and fries. Burger was slightly dry, but tasty.

    Showed up right as they opened. Service was good. Food was fresh and tasty. Burgers were on point. Will try out the smash burgers next round. Mixed drinks were good and the server was fun.

    First time experience eating at the prodigy, and the food is fairly priced, was worth every dollar spent. The fried green tomatoes was well worth eating, and the no name burger was very filling. The hubby had fun with the shapes of the onion rings..

    Exquisite Experience at Prodigy Burger Bar Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) Visiting Prodigy Burger Bar was an absolute delight. From the moment we walked through the door, the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had an excellent experience. The ambiance was on point, striking the perfect balance between casual comfort and chic sophistication. Every element of the interior design was carefully thought out, from the unique lighting fixtures to the comfortable seating. The environment was lively yet intimate, perfectly designed for any occasion. The menu was comprehensive and creative, showcasing a range of gourmet burgers and other innovative dishes. Each burger is an artful blend of flavors, offering something for every palate, from the traditionalist to the adventurous foodie. We tried the Signature Prodigy Burger and the Avocado Swiss Burger, both of which were nothing short of exceptional. The patties were cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, complemented by fresh buns and quality ingredients. The bar offers an impressive selection of craft beers, unique cocktails, and an array of wines that pair wonderfully with the food. We were especially taken by the handcrafted cocktails, which were refreshing and artfully presented. The service was impeccable throughout the evening. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful with recommendations, and promptly attentive to our needs without being intrusive. It's clear that Prodigy's staff is well-trained and committed to delivering top-notch service. Prodigy Burger Bar, with its unrivaled food quality, excellent service, and comfortable atmosphere, is a must-visit for any food enthusiast. It's a place that takes the concept of a burger bar to a new level, redefining what we can expect from this genre of dining. We'll be counting the days until our next visit.

    Today was our first time and the burger was absolutely delicious. I had the Mac n Cheese burger and the bacon and burger both had great flavor. My only complaint is that the floors were super sticky and now my shoes feel disgusting. But other than that, the meal was great!!

  • 2/5 Elizabeth R. 4 months ago on Google
    Waited half an hour for wine, about an hour for just a shrimp appetizer. Deceded not to order more food because of this. Food was great tho. The server did not check on us. We decided it was taking too long so we told the server that we were done after the appetizer but then we had to wait another half hour for the check after telling her this. Just a massive waste of time. They weren't even that busy. Only a few tables had people seated. I don't know what they would do if the place was full.

    I was really looking forward to having beer battered onion rings. Unfortunately, they now only serve breaded. This was not changed on the menu. The manager checked the box and saw that they indeed were not the battered ones and she was nice and removed them from my bill. We decided to stay and order burgers. The burgers were decent, but my burger (the no name ) was supposed to have pickled onions on it and instead it came with caramelized onions. The cheese sauce for the fries ( which were just barely warm and a small amount) was watery and the pickled jalapeños tasted different than the usual that I was used to. I am just hoping that they were not bad. I have seen the signs many a time from restaurants that were not doing well financially and this one had them all. I hope that I am wrong, but I doubt it. In closing all I can say is that I am disappointed in the meal that I received, and especially the price that I payed for the meal. The value just wasn't there. Oh! And as a side note...they give you the suggested tip to leave on the after tax amount and not the before. The staff was nice though!
