27 Best Burger Restaurants in Asheville

“I want to give a huge shout out to our server Alex H! Not only was the food and service excellent, but Alex went above and beyond when my sister had a fainting spell in the restaurant. He quickly brought her a cold rag with ice and chocolate chips to help her blood sugar. He was very understanding and caring and kept checking back to make sure she was ok. We just wanted to make sure he knows how appreciated he was today. Thank you Alex!“

“I ordered an All American Beyond burger. I added American cheese and left everything on it. I ate it way too fast because it was juicy and yummy!!!!! Omg 10/10 order up!!!“

“My wife and I came here on a recent trip to Asheville off a recommendation from a friend, we were not disappointed. We ordered two different types of burgers and the sauce flight, it was all incredible. Very unique atmosphere, which to be fair is all of Asheville, but this particular spot had phenomenal food too and we would 100% come back given the chance. Very innovative and envelope pushing “bar food”, which I almost don’t even want to call it“

“First visit today and it won’t be our last!! It was fantastic!!!“

“Would give 1,000 stars if I could. My wife and I both agreed this was the best burger, fries, and onion rings we’ve ever had. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent food, quick service, and friendly people. Hot dog was great and double burger was a hit for my hubby! Will definitely be coming back. Happy to have this in Candler!!“

“On July 6, 2023, my husband and I ate at The Madness on Merrimon Ave for the first time. I ordered sushi and he had a burger. We both had salads and spring rolls. The service and the food was excellent. Nothing to complain about. We look forward to visiting The Madness again.“

“Burgers are delicious and fries are amazing. Can't wait to try some other items on the menu. Nice atmosphere great service.“

“The best burger I’ve ever tasted! Baby Bull absolutely nails it every time. Their burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. They’re seriously unforgettable. If you’re in Asheville and love a good burger, this is the spot to go. I can’t wait to have it again!“

“What an awesome early dinner! We had drinks, which I could have drank so many of them! We had the 6 pc wings and no doubt the best wings I've ever had. Then the real prize...my boneless ribeye! Melt in your mouth delicious!! My date had the 6pcs. Of fried oysters with fries and slaw,everything was so wonderful and our service was on point!“

“I still think about how good the wings are and I haven't been to Asheville in a while.“

“Let me start by saying that I live close to hotdog world in Hendersonville and still drive to Celebrity hotdogs! Fast service, love the man that’s always at the register. Not sure if he’s the owner but he’s got a wonderful personality. The food always slaps and I never walk away hungry! Highly recommend“

“Excellent job on the new lunch“

“A local bar with great food, service and beer selection. Excellent cocktails with generous pours. Ample seating inside as well as on the patio. Highly recommended.“

“Wife and I were visiting Asheville for the Southern Highland Craft show at the Civic Center. We parked in the Civic Center garage, and walked out to Rankin street, not knowing a thing about this area of town. We strolled up Rankin a bit, and saw a sign above the door of this place touting Asheville's best burgers. So, we went it. You order at the end of the bar and then sit down. They bring your food to your table. We each got the smash burger and tater tots, and just had water (self serve) to drink. These burgers are absolutely amazing, and so are the tots. We live in Greenville SC, and this burger beats anything we've had so far. Atmosphere is dive-bar and cool as hell.“

“Amazing food & amazing staff!“

“Everything we got was delicious. Wings, oysters on the half shell and lobster bisque w/ mini lobster grill cheese. Cool vibe atmosphere. Great service. It’s a hidden gem.“

“10/10 My 1st time but won’t be my last!“

“Rarely do you find a restaurant that offers such variety but then also delivers on quality, presentation and flavor! It's so crazy it's madness!! I'm guessing that's why they named it so. The food & drinks are reasonably priced. They also offer drink specials every day of the week like $5 pint night on Mondays. The ambiance is calm and relaxing, there is plenty of seating and the staff are nice. Parking seems a little tight tho. The bathrooms and restaurant are clean as well. This has become a regular meeting spot for my friends and I. 🙂“

“friendly bartender. nice suggestions on what else/where else we should try.“

“Creative delicious cuisine“

“We love our outings to Creekside - Georgia loves the chicken and fries and I had buffalo wings this time which I really enjoyed. I usually get the salad with smoked chicken and its my all time favorite. The staff are great and the atmosphere is cozy. So if you are looking for a great place to eat, with a good atmosphere and great eats - Creekside is my favorite place in East Asheville.“

“I see that the last review of this restaurant was in 2020, so though I don't have a lot to add, I thought I'd submit a more recent review to let people know that this restaurant is still in business and, from my experience there, has not changed much since the previous reviews. Basically, this is a short-order kitchen in a simple setting that serves a variety of breakfast items (eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, pancakes, omelettes, etc.) and lunch items (burgers, sandwiches, salads) for relatively low prices, in a simple take-out or small diner setting (with inside and outside seating). I would not describe the cooking as particularly special or delicious (as some have) -- it actually seemed pretty basic, but it seemed to be good quality (other than maybe the coffee) and at very good (low) prices. Overall, if you're in the area and would like a quick, inexpensive breakfast or lunch, it's pretty good.“

“Love everything about the place except the receipts. The store address is listed on Hendersonville Highway in ASHVILLE, NC. Instead of crying "where's the beef?" I come away shouting, "where's the E?" 😉“

“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.“

“Awesome food , nice folks“

“Great staff!! And management. I stopped in just for a milkshake. Kelly was who took my order. She helped me make up my mind and did a special milkshake for me... Thank you Kelly for the friendly service and great milkshake! I'll be back!“
