This Virginia Diner Serves Bacon Burgers Locals Swear By

Bristol’s Original Burger Bar serves crisp bacon, juicy patties, and old school diner charm on the Virginia state line.

On the Virginia side of Bristol, where the state line slices Main Street in half, Burger Bar glows beneath its neon sign like it has for generations.

Step inside and you don’t just get a menu, you get a piece of country-music history, the kind tied forever to Hank Williams’ final night.

The room stays tight, the counter hums, and the griddle carries that steady sizzle of bacon meeting hot steel.

The burgers aren’t dressed up for the times; they’re stacked with confidence, dripping flavor that proves why locals never stopped coming.

I sat down curious and left convinced, those bacon burgers, paired with a shake, make this diner more than a pit stop.

Music is everywhere inside, on the walls, in the names of the burgers, even in the way the place feels tuned to memory.

The menu itself doubles as a jukebox, each title nodding to a song.
