50 Best Burger Restaurants in Charlotte

“Visited Matthews, NC few days ago and had lunch here. The food was awesome (I had Jalapeno Poppers and Peter Piper burger), and so was the beer selection (I had a really good blonde ale (cannot recall the name unfortunately)). Service was great, and washrooms were clean. The place has a really cool vibe to it, looks like one would feel at home there while watching sports on one of the many screens.“

“Definitely worth the wait in line…haven’t had a NY style hotdog with chili since I was a kid. All that I would add is some kraut 😋😋😋“

“This was the BEST burger I’ve had in a long time !!! Staff was amazing !!!!“

“This is the best smash burger I’ve found in the Charlotte area so far. The restaurant has a bit of a bodega vibe — you’ll find shelves of candy and drinks alongside a surprisingly strong food menu, and the food definitely delivers.

There’s seating both inside and outside, or you can easily grab your order to go. When your food is ready, they call your name and send a text notification, which makes it convenient to wait outside if it’s busy.

One tip: choose your drink before ordering at the counter to keep the line moving smoothly.“

“Staff was friendly and engaging, and made excellent recommendations. Food was delivered quick!! Burger was cooked perfectly and while the fries were good and crisp, the onion rings were INCREDIBLE. Don't forget the chocolate milkshake!! Definitely recommend and will be coming back.“

“First I drove 2 hours to try this place one way- the food, atmosphere and staff was amazing. I have never had such great food and service for a long time. I would make the drive again, well worth the drive!!!!“

“Absolutely love this place. Cant get enough. A perfect tiny mom & pop style burger joint.“

“The best burger I have ever had! From the first bite to the very last, it was everything a burger should. The house made pickles, red onions and the melted white American cheese. Everyone needs to try this burger!! The fries also deserve a shoutout for being super crispy and hot.“

“Excellent meeting spot for lunch!“

“My go to place for enjoyable meal with friends.“

“This was the BEST burger I’ve had in a long time !!! Staff was amazing !!!!“

“Management is great 😊 -he saw that my fries were sitting for a few minutes while I had run out my car and he made a new order of fries so they wouldn’t be cold- great service! Try the shakes! Amazing 🤩“

“This place, actually the awesome crew that works there "get it". From the moment you walk in the door it's nothing but 5☆ PLUS service. Everyone is cordial and acknowledges you, food is cooked fresh, served hot, tastes great and orders are always correct. Can I also get an 'Amen" for those milkshakes??? Side note as I was leaving Sunday and halfway across the parking lot the employee coming back from running an errand said thanks for coming in. Bravo dude. You rock.“

“How the hell do I give this place more stars ⭐️x10 !! Tonight I walked in and was immediately greeted by every worker in sight. The ordering process was easy and the cashier was extremely helpful and answered all my questions happily, this was my first time visiting but won’t be my last. I ordered a chili double burger and a regular double cheeseburger with two orders of fries. Let me say nothing about these burgers were regular, these were the best burgers I’ve had in over 5 years, even after a 40 minute drive to my apartment the burgers still tasted fresh and succulent. I was so full off one burger and a half order off fries but I was determined to finish the rest so I would cry and dream about it all night if I didn’t. The food was so flavorful I had to keep alternating between my fries and the burgers. Definitely recommend, definitely will be back. Actually considering moving closer to be nearby. I don’t have any photos because the food is demolished….If you’re trying to decide on this and any other place choose this place and you’ll forget about the other!!!“

“The burger tasted good. I had ordered a 4 ounce and it did seem a tad small. My bad if I should’ve ordered a larger one. SERVICE was friendly and said hello and goodbye. Restaurant was clean and had two sitting areas. I had a vanilla shake and it was very good. I would return and try other things on the menu.“

“Chex grill and wings 🥇 Soon all over the world“

“Mango kart on deck! Great cozy bar.“

“A fun atmosphere for families, date night, girls night & more!!“

“Great food and service! Would recommend! Will be going back when we’re in town.“

“Awesome atmosphere, great service, and great food!“

“We had an AMAZING experience at Cowfish Bar and Grill!! The food was delicious BUT our waiter, Jevon, was exceptional!! He gave great recommendations and he was personable. The birthday parade Jevon led was entertaining and put a big birthday smile on my husbands day! Thank you Jevon!!!“

“I eat here often and I always get the same thing. Cheeseburger kids meal, you can add whatever toppings you like and it comes with their delicious custard. It is always just enough food for me and always made fresh. Even when I come on my lunch break the service is still friendly and quick.“

“Consistent always - flame broiled is the best.“

“The food is absolutely amazing! Loved the burgers & loaded tots 😋“

“I honestly can't believe that I am a Charlotte native and this is my first time eating at this establishment. My parents and grandparents grew up eating here and they used to pile it up. In reference to the food, I had a cheeseburger with tomato, lettuce, ketchup and slaw with crinkled fries topped with Bar B Que sauce. In my opinion the food was very good. The only thing was that I wish that the hamburger itself had more flavor. Overall, I would definitely get it again. I didn't know that they serve breakfast, that's always a plus. They had a variety of different foods on there menu to accommodate everyone. Thank you Pile Em Up Bob's.“

“Red Robin's has amazing food.. love their cheeseburgers and 🍟 oh yes so yummy.. they have amazing pizza .. nice friendly people.. I enjoy working there. I have since October of 2022...“

“Great food and service! Would recommend! Will be going back when we’re in town.“

“The food is always fresh! when you order something from the menu. they make it right then. Nothing that I have seen is pre-cooked. I've had the Shrimp,Chicken Philly,Chicken tenders and this evening I had the Chicken Pita. Oh and please order the banana pudding. made fresh daily!“

“If you've never been; my advice is to make it a double...the patties are super thin...But, delicious 😋“

“Highly recommend!!! If perfection was used to describe the atmosphere, this place would be an understatement!“

“Love this place. Great atmosphere, menu, drinks and most of all great staff. I stopped in last week to pick up gift cards for the holiday and they were having an issue with the system. The manger explained the situation and offered alternatives. I chose to come back this week to purchase the cards and the manager remembered me and thanked me for returning as did the bartender. If you’ve never been, give it a try. I can almost guarantee you’ll return too.“

“The owner went above and beyond. I had a large order and couldn't decide on what flavors. he brought out his recommendation and that's what I picked and it was very good and he also gave me fries and a lemonade that was really good. if I was so far away in Florida I would be going every weekend to eat. I would 💯 definitely recommend this place“

“Enjoyed my meal there very much. Had the Summer Salad and it was very good. Waitresses was very nice and attentive. Definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“As someone born and raised in Buffalo, I don’t say this lightly…these are some of the best wings I’ve ever had. I’m in Charlotte for work and stumbled upon Buffalo Eatz, and wow. The Buffalo wings were perfectly crispy with that classic, legit sauce flavor that so many places miss. The barbecue wings were just as good…smoky, saucy, and not overly sweet. And the waffle fries with cheese? Absolute comfort food perfection: crispy, seasoned right, and cheese on the side. This place understands wings. If you’re craving real Buffalo flavor in Charlotte, this is it!! 🔥🍗“

“My all time favorite place! I have enjoyed South 21 for 35 years! I’m a creature of habit so I always order the chicken filet sandwich fried with french fries and of course a separate order of the famous onion rings! These o-rings are the ONLY ones I eat!! The staff is ALWAYS pleasant and courteous too!! My only wish is that it wasn’t 40 minutes away, but I still visit regularly!!“

“Best burger in Charlotte, as always. But I want to specifically commend the employees working around 630pm on 3/21. There was a situation with a mentally ill man and they handled it with extreme grace, courage, patience, and calm. Bravo!“

“We dined here, hoping to experience their restaurant week deal, but once we got there and realized that they had a better special for the upcoming snow day... we took advantage of that. The promo was buy two pies, get one classic pie for free. The hostess was pleasant - greeting us as soon as we opened the door. Emily, our waitress, was extremely personable, sweet, and gave great suggestions. I think she went the extra mile to make sure that we had a really good experience – and even though it was a quiet night, we still felt as if she gave us personalized service. There was never a moment where we had to wait for our water to be topped off, or anything. She was truly on top of it!! The kitchen did make a slight mistake with our order, really unknowingly to us, but they were quick to fix it – then allowed us to take the extra pizza home. So actually instead of leaving with three pizzas, we left with four! Such a steal. The music playlist was perfect and such a vibe. It was a quiet night, probably because of the storm, but I'm sure on some nights - it can get a bit lively. The drink menu seemed good - but we didn't indulge this time. Great for a date night, night out with your friends, etc. We will definitely be back!“

“Charlotte’s hidden gem! The Vermont maple farm burger is probably my favorite burger I’ve ever eaten- and I’ve eaten a LOT of burgers over the years. Carol and staff are super friendly. Don’t forget to get some fresh fries too!“

“Awesome great service food awesome“

“thank you for the great meal. very friendly and nice service. the two Germans from nascar“

“This was hands down the best fast-food experience I’ve had in a long time.

Shake Shack is usually a quick order, eat, and go kind of place, but this location felt more like a high-end restaurant. The staff didn’t just stay behind the counter. They walked around, checked on tables, asked if we needed anything.

That kind of attention says a lot about whoever’s running this place. You could tell the team actually cared. Food was great as always, but the service is what stood out.

Well done“

“The Mushy Goat Melt was amazing! 🤤“

“The food, drinks and ambiance are SO good! Such a cool and unique spot in Charlotte. We loved everything we ordered. Our server was very kind, personable and knowledgeable. Service was a little slow, but it seems they are just short staffed…not enough to ruin the experience, just something to be aware of and plan for. Will definitely be back!“

“My dad is visiting and he loves gyros. Even though I’ve never been here, I decided to bring him. It didn’t disappoint! We got the Traditional Gyro and the Salmon Pita. Both were very delicious! The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. I’ll be coming back!“

“We came in with 3 kids today for lunch! The cashier (didn’t catch her name) with the black eyeglasses and her hair in a ponytail was the sweetest most patient and understanding person ever. She was so sweet about the kids dropping food and was just so understanding. Our meal was very good - cooks were very sweet too! We will definitely be back because this was the freshest shake shack I’ve ever been to & with the kindest staff. They really made a mom’s day a lot less stressful and more enjoyable. I’m forever grateful for people like this :) Thank you so much!!“

“First time visiting Optimist Hall, and it did not disappoint! My friends and I checked out a few spots, including PoppyCox, where the tenders were incredible. The service was friendly, and the whole venue has such a fun, unique vibe. We’re planning another trip to Charlotte in a couple of weeks and will definitely be stopping by again.“

“Love this new location! The staff is so friendly and provides great service. Food comes out fast and the inside has always been very clean.“

“AMAZING FOOD! Great customer service. The workers are very friendly.“

“My husband and I decided to eat at Bad Daddy's Burger Bar- East Blvd, after church and it was a great decision! The burgers were good and juicy and the service was even better! We'll be back.“
