32 Best Burger Restaurants in Asheville

“Why haven’t I been here before?! Omg! So good! I got the poke bowl (a delicious combination of tuna, cucumbers and tomatoes in sauce) and hubby got the fried chicken sandwich….I think it is our new favorite chicken sandwich in Asheville. The honey sauce the used! Yum! Coming back. Great outdoor dining and all the food is great!“

“Visited 3/25/24. Omg go to rebel burger if you haven't been already-what a solid food truck this is. My biggest regret was that I ate this burger so quick that I didn't have time to take pics. The process is fairly simple, you order via QR code, grab a drink at Hi-Wire if you wish in the meantime, then wait for them to email you that your order is ready. My mom and I split a rebel burger and an abundance bowl. The only thing we couldn't think of was how to tweak the ingredients while ordering online (my mom initially didn't want the mayo), but honestly upon trying the burger, we both admitted the ingredients included were perfection. That is one good burger and the bun was delicious too. And the abundance bowl was just as good-so flavorful and well balanced. A side/smaller version of the abundance bowl would be an awesome option instead of fries as something to go with the burger (we didn't want fries because we had already had some earlier in the day). It works just as well on its own though and is pretty large so you may find yourself with leftovers. This is one food truck you shouldn't miss.“

“Jalapeños!!! Voila! Choose your toppings burger: pepper Jack cheese, fresh jalapeños, pickled jalapenos AND jalapenos mustard with tonoatoes for coolness was fire. Deviled egg like none other for real. They had those crispy Parmesan things on top and were spicy!! They have a gose on tap so.......it was perfect. Sour beer....I'm there“

“I had my first experience here today at lunch. I am not from the Asheville area, but the food was amazing. The entire staff from the host to the serving staff were amazing. This is the kind of place that I would make a couple of hour drive, just to go visit and eat.“

“The burgers were very good and the fries tasted way better than they look!! The milkshakes are the best intown!!Parking: Walking is recommended and I see no viable parking in downtown town other than street parking at meters or a parking garage“

“Ok, we’re on a road trip in Asheville and see this little out of the way restaurant. My husband is hungry so we stop. My husband loves his fish Reuben. My chicken gyro had no flavor. They don’t skimp on the portions so you’ll definitely get your moneys worth. But I would not recommend the Giro.“

“Holy moly. What a fantastic experience. I was traveling on business and I popped into this place for a late lunch/early dinner and a couple of cocktails. First of all, the service was amazing. I guess I came around shift change bc I had two amazing bartenders. Rachel was my first bartender and what a gem. Such a beautiful and bubbly spirit that makes you feel so special. She was super funny and ridiculously gorgeous. Next up was Tara. She was so attentive and made sure I was always good with my drinks and food. Not to mention she’s extremely easy on the eyes. Sheeeesh. Both ladies were so cool and efficient. You can tell these women have been bartending for years. All the regulars loved them so much.Second of all, the food was to die for!!! I got the Vault burger and I give it 5 stars.Lastly, the vibes are perfect. Atmosphere and music and people were all on point. Love this place!!!!“

“Hands down best wings I’ve had. They were so crispy and the sauces were phenomenal. We got the crack sauce and the Carolina jerk. The onion rings were top notch and made completely in house and the mac and cheese bites were super gooey. All around awesome place, my wife and I will be back soon.“

“Interesting little spot in West Asheville. Smash burgers and fires were hot of the grill and very filling.Josh was both bartender and waiter but was very attentive.Parking: The parking lot is small, so we can see having to find a spot up the street and walk down.“

“Party of 12 of us stopped by on a Thursday afternoon. Our bartenders Hannah and John were all over it. Everyone had a cocktail within minutes and our food came out right away. I can't say enough about the service that John and Hannah provided, while also managing the rest of the bar area. The cocktails were solid pours and delicious with the NY Sour being a standout. The pub food was similarly delicious - the onions were said to be "the best I've ever had" by several of us. The fish and chips were super flaky and light and use the same batter made with French Broad Kolsch beer that is fantastic - no greasiness that you might expect. The hand-cut fries were super tasty - especially with a splash of malt vinegar. The Cowboy Cuban with brisket was superb as was the "Fettichoke". The Yelp! rating is what brought our group in and is really well-earned here at Wayside. If you're in the Biltmore Village area and looking for a great spot for craft beer, cocktails, and quick/tasty food - come to Wayside.“

“Best dang hotdog of my life! I’ve had a lot of hotdogs… this one is by far the best! How in the world can they only charge $2.00 for a hotdog??? No idea but the vibe is awesome and the owner was great! He even gave us suggestions on places to stay next time! Come in to this gem, you won’t be disappointed!“

“The great oysters and seafood are amazing! Try the North Carolina oysters! They are the best. And the menu is very sensitive to food/diet restrictions. I have Celiacs but have FRIED Oysters every visit! The burgers are also amazing! LOVE Little Pearl!“

“We chose the right option when we ordered at thunder burgerz. The staff was friendly and professional. The food came out quickly and tasted great. They give you huge chunks of bacon on the bacon cheese fries. The menu was pretty extensive so I can definitely eat here with the whole family because they have menu items that appeal to everyone. And get a fried cheesecake. We are going to try to order take out from here and see if it's just as good because the only thing disappointing is that this location is inside the mall food court.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and gluten free optionsKid-friendliness: The kids menu has options besides just fries. They can have Mac n cheese, corn on the cob, broccoli with cheese, or sweet potato fries“

“Had the tacos today, they were FANTASTIC! Baked in toaster oven, they came out perfect and SO tasty. Truly pleasantly suprised, satisfied my fast food craving but kept me on my diet! under 400 calories for 4 tacos, you litteraly cant beat it!!!“

“Came here last weekend with some friends and you guys did not disappoint! The Hopper Flight was fantastic. The wings were good too. The best part of the experience however had to be the great service. Our server, Alex, I believe, didn’t miss a beat and had a great attitude. If I ever come back to this beautiful city, I’ll be sure to stop by again.“

“Ordered the chicken salad sandwich with pasta salad and a pickle and was absolutely blown away. This Jewel of a restaurant is putting out some of the best flavor combinations my family has discovered in a while. Completely blown away and impressed. Do not underestimate the creative minds of Romans deli chefs to take you away on a journey that your taste buds will eternally be grateful for! Cheers to the Romans team!Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs or ramps just a smooth roll in!“

“We had a fantastic experience here for our anniversary. The food and drinks were spectacular. Service could have been faster but the time spent with our waiter was very pleasant and accommodating. Absolutely recommend! Side note- 1000000000% must get the ragoon dip. It’s to die for!“

“Excellent little burger joint with a small menu full of delicious food. I had the double cheeseburger, smashed, because thankfully they had a gluten free bun option. They're not the fastest burger place going around but they make up for it with quality food, and if I'm back in Asheville any time soon I'll definitely go back.Dietary restrictions: Provides a gluten free bun option“

“Excellent food and service. Burger was cooked perfectly and all the add-ons I chose were fresh and delicious. Huge fan of the FB fries and the sweet potato fries as well. Will be back to try the Double Bacon burger and also want to try the chicken burger and onion rings!“

“Our new favorite place to get ready made meals. Recently took my kids (11&6) who are picky eaters and they loved the food. Great atmosphere and excellent service! I enjoyed talking to Andy and Jacob who are very personable and knowledgeable.“

“Granny's is our favorite "Best Kept Secret"!! Awesome cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chili, tater tots and old fashioned crinkle fries!! We always enjoy our food and our visit. Customer Service is tops! dine-in area is small, but they stay very busy with drive-through and carry-outs. Love it!!“

“Definitely don't miss the onion fries! My burger was good and I would get it again... classic, and juicy, what more could you ask for. The beer selection is decent, but we happened to drop in during trivia and the music is crazy loud between questions. Our service was adequate. I would avoid trivia night but I would eat this burger again for sure“

“Me and my husband wanted completely different things for dinner. I wanted sushi. He wanted a burger. I am so glad I found this place because we can have both in one place! My husband got a bento box and he loved the variety of things that were included. Although it was a miniature sized burger, it was still fulfilling. The sushi was delicious and the presentation was nice.“

“Small menu but wonderful selections. I got the street corn and really enjoyed it. I loved the the broccoli wings but I'm trying to decide if they loved me back because they are indeed very hot. But they were great. My wife got a burger on a gluten-free bun. (Unfortunately, that may not always be available. Hope that they make the choice permanent in the future.) I forgot what my somewhat picky son ordered but I saw he ate the whole thing. I did get a chance to steal some of his fries which were really good. Note that they offer 2 types of fries.We will definitely be going back even though they are on the other side of town.Staff was exceptional.Highly recommended.“

“We came here because we wanted to eat someplace where the kids can run around and we were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. We had a large group and we had about a 30 minute wait which was perfect because the kids got to play at the playground while the adults had a beer then our table was ready. Get the wings!“

“I had the Falafel sandwich. Out of dozens upon dozens of food trucks and street food venders across several continents, this landed in my Top 3 ever. The combination of texture might be my no.1. Soft bun into the toasted side, into crunchy falafel, crisp pickled onions, the soft and smooth interior of the falafel, silky mayo, softer - secondary crunch of the greens…The flavour was simple, and in that was its genius.The falafel was wonderfully seasoned and the pickled onion cut through and lifted the heaviness of the falafel. The pepperiness of the greens complimented both while the mayo provided a lovely, chili infused, creaminess that helped with the cohesion of all the ingredients.Do yourself a favor and make sure to eat it while it’s still piping hot.9.8/10Will eat there every single time I get the chance.“

“I love Five Guys fries. Their burgers are good too. Surprisingly, their hot dogs are good too. They split them and grill both halves . Favorite toppings: BBQ sauce with grilled onions and mushrooms.Parking: Busy and small parking lot shared with other businesses in strip mall.Wheelchair accessibility: Doors are a bit heavy if traveling alone but I make it through with my power chair. Patrons frequently help.“

“The best burger I've had in years. Yeah, it was more expensive than I anticipated from a fast food place but when I ate that thing I could see why. High quality, juicy, perfectly cooked, and fresh accoutrements. Will be back the next time a burger craving strikes. Oh and the chocolate Oreo shake was on point ??“

“I'll start by saying I go to McDonald's a couple times per year...and I usually regret it. Not the case here. The store is clean. The service is prompt and the food is hot. Not the usual McDonald's experience. I've been to this location 3 times in 3 years and it's been on point all 3 times. Will I eat there more frequently? No. But the next time I get the Mac attack I know the best option is on Hendersonville Road.“

“This is like the in and out of the East Coast. Ask for things cook out style. Burgers hotdogs with hush puppies "fried bread" but they are very tasty.Drive threw or walk up seating is limited but that's the style.Parking: This place gets busy make sure you have the spare time to wait in line it's worth it.“

“I've been to 5 or 6 IHOPs, and I've never had this experience. The service was amazing, food was fast and delicious, and the restaurant was clean. We visited there twice over our weekend vacation. Whoever is leading this team of servers is doing a great job!“

“The food was delicious and was prepared and served in a timely manner. Our server, Carlton, was exceptional. Carlton visited our table often to ensure that we had everything we needed. He was very kind and patient. Our visit to IHOP, Tunnel Road, Asheville, NC was very pleasant. We'll be back.“
