Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint Harrisonburg • 1985

Childhood friends Aaron Ludwig and Mike Sabin turned a dream phone call into the original Jack Brown's in 2009, slinging 100% Wagyu beef burgers with audacious toppings and fried Oreos to Harrisonburg's Main Street. Ludwig's homebrewing background and Sabin's chef credentials shaped a menu that pairs creative burgers with over 100 craft beers on tap. The no-frills joint still draws crowds for its unapologetically indulgent fare and dive bar spirit.
