17 Best Burger Restaurants in Cary

“I made my first visit to Sophie’s for the 90s R&B paint and sip event and am looking forward to returning! I was immediately welcomed by staff and a very nicely decorated and cozy environment. The bar is beautiful and there are lots of windows. There was a special menu for the event but the variety was great and I was pleasantly surprised by the incredibly flavorful salmon on a bun with a generous helping of delicious fries. The servers were very busy, but maintained great interaction with the customers. Highly recommend!“

“1st time - fast and tasty“

“THIS is the reason I don't like going to chain restaurants when I'm out of town! Love finding the little places that the locals go to, even when it is in a small strip mall. The Hawaiian Cowboy hot dog was amazing. Only suggestion would be to maybe try grilled crushed pineapple instead of the chunks, it might be easier to eat. Added a side of waffle fries and was full. Both were great, I'm thinking of maybe 2 dogs and no fries next time. Great prices fast and courteous service. They have indoor and outdoor tables. Specialty flavored bottle drinks or fountain drinks. Can't say enough about this place.“

“I recently stopped by Char-Grill in Cary, NC, and it was a fantastic experience. If you're looking for a classic burger spot with great food, fast service, and a nostalgic atmosphere, Char-Grill is hard to beat. It's one of those local favorites that keeps people coming back year after year.

The food was outstanding. I ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and a milkshake, and everything was fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The burger was cooked perfectly, with that classic char-grilled taste that makes Char-Grill stand out from typical fast-food restaurants. The toppings were fresh, the bun was soft, and the portion size was just right. The fries were crispy and delicious, and the milkshake was thick, creamy, and the perfect finishing touch.

One thing I really appreciate about Char-Grill is the simplicity of the menu and the consistency of the food. They focus on doing the basics exceptionally well, and it shows. The quality of the ingredients and preparation is noticeable in every bite.

The service was fast and friendly, even during a busy lunch rush. The staff was efficient, and the food was prepared quickly without sacrificing quality. The restaurant was clean, well-maintained, and had the classic Char-Grill charm that longtime customers know and love.

The prices were also very reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. It's a great value whether you're grabbing a quick lunch, dinner, or satisfying a burger craving.

Overall, I highly recommend Char-Grill in Cary, North Carolina. Great burgers, delicious fries, excellent milkshakes, friendly service, and a classic local atmosphere make this one of the best casual dining spots in the area. If you love old-school burger joints, Char-Grill is definitely worth a visit.“

“I enjoy coming to this IHOP. My food has always been good and hot, and there are plenty of things to choose from on the menu. The atmosphere is peaceful and quiet in the evenings. Our server tonight, Lexy, was very kind and a hard worker. She did an excellent job taking care of us.“

“Visited on 4/16/26

I enjoy getting my meal at this location and the customer service is always great. However, today I came through drive thru around 1:30pm and the short Hispanic lady at the window didn’t give me all of my change back. My meal came up to $10.27 and I gave her a $20.00 and got back $7.50 in change with no receipt. I didn’t realize it until I got home and opened my wallet. The lady was polite, but just make sure she’s giving back the right change. I will return to eat at this location in spite of this only happening once in all of my visits.“

“Great hamburgers and fries“

“We were served free food for lunch! Great surprise when u get told lunch is on us! Food was delicious!!“

“Pamela took my order, she was interactive and very friendly without being bubbly. It was very genuine and conveyed a lether of warmth that only be described as sincere. If she isn't a manager, make her one. Pamela has all the makings of what you hope you encounter when you're having an average day and want to order some food. She isn't pushy, she's very knowledgeable of the menu without seeming like she's shoving some pre-rehersed corporate garbage about promotions. Sitting and eating my food and working on schoolwork I can hear the conversations she holds with customers and you can just tell she listens and asks personable questions that make people feel like this Burger King is a respite from daily life because of how dedicated and attentive Pamela is to the customers that come in regularly and who just pop in for a bite to never be seen again at this location.“

“The Assistant Manager at Dairy Queen was kind enough to let us know our daughter left her purse there. Thank you for looking out for your customers!“

“I just had an extremely pleasant experience with Mikayla!!! She is phenomenal! She had a wonderful attitude and went above and beyond to make sure my food was made FRESH for me! She is personable and professional! You can tell she loves her job! She truly made my night and with an attitude like that she deserves a promotion! I will continue to stop at this Burger King because of her! She personally brung my food out to me fresh and was happy to make sure it was fresh! Burger King is blessed to have an employee like her!“

“❤️Our experience was very welcoming! The server was very friendly and made sure our food was delivered all together!“

“I come here almost all the time for lunch on the weekdays, and the lunch crew here are phenomenal. They are fast, friendly and courteous. Amazing customer service. All other Wendy's should take a page of this book, especially the one in Garner, smh.“

“Ordered a bacon double to go via the app. Wentin and waited at the to go location. Watched as my burger was put in the staging area and sit for about 2 minutes. The drive thru customers kept getting their orders, a employee kept taking orders at the register but no one did my order. I finally had speak up to get my order.“
