The burgers here are fantastic, with a hearty meaty flavor, but I still favor Riverside Lunch for burgers in Charlottesville overall. I tried the Room 121 with double beef, and while the beef was just a bit dry or perhaps slightly overcooked for my taste, it was still really good. The curly fries were delicious and came in a generous portion. I enjoyed a few beers while catching the first game of the NBA East Finals. The waitress was attentive and friendly, though there were a few moments when they forgot to turn on the sound for the game, opting for music instead. I do appreciate the idea of playing music during ad breaks, though. The place has a huge big screen along with several other standard screens, creating a great college atmosphere.

The burgers here are delicious and classic. We also enjoyed the appetizers, especially the nachos. The wait staff is really friendly. If you're just looking for lunch, I'd suggest going during the day when it's less crowded, as it becomes more of a bar atmosphere in the evening.

Great meaty burgers, but I prefer Riverside lunch overall for Cville burgers. Had a Room 121 w double beef. Beef ever so slightly dry and/or overcooked for my liking but still great. Curly fries delicious. Huge serving. A few beers and watched theNBA east finals game 1. Waitress was very attentive and friendly. A few times they forgot to put the sound on and had music oninstead i like the idea of putting on music during ad breaks though. Massive big screen and a number of other standardscreens. Great college vibe.
