Great burgers! Have to suggest the mac & cheese bites and the tater tots.

Really good juicy burgers! Lots of unique choices or the basics if that's more your thing. Lots of great sides. Drink choices are minimal, mostly Pepsi products. The FGT burger, pickle chips, and onion rings were all fantastic. We're from out of state so this was something different to try and it didn't disappoint.

Nice place and food was pretty good. It is a much smaller place, they have some seating, but it’s limited. They also might want to check the glass soda bottles, I got one that had rust in the cap and opening of the bottle.

Only burger is always solid and probably the best value good burger in town. Now that they’ve rearranged things so that there’s more seating again, it’s a regular stop for me. Staff are always friendly!

yummy, staff is nice, not much space inside but the outside seating was nice :)
boyf and i shared an only burger deluxe with fries. i love that the burger didn’t skip on any toppings. the fries were thin and crispy and tasted great to me.

Great opportunity to enjoy different types of burgers at one location. Today. I enjoyed the Frito bandito burger! If you've never been before, I strongly recommend you do.

easily the best burger in a laid-back atmosphere in Durham. staff and cooks are super attentive to doing things right, and they every single time I've been here, they consistently make a delicious meal.
they absolutely respect the burger, and flawlessly deliver one of the best burgers I have ever had anywhere.
my only negative comments: --- I wish they would cook the fries a bit longer so they would be browner & crispier, but that is just a personal preference. ---they just installed a self-service ordering tablet thing. easy to use. but then it asks for a tip? who am I tipping? there is no wait staff, you pick up your own order from the counter and bus your own table. am I tipping the line cooks? the owner? the tablet? obviously this sort of thing is popping up everywhere, but I expected better from this place. at least tell me where the tip is going.
love this place for both eat-in and takeout

Second trip here, and another excellent experience. The food was ready pretty quick, and was absolutely delicious. The Bacon Wrapped Mac & Cheese is awesome (go ahead and get the large, it’s worth it), and the burgers are phenomenal. The first time we went with a small group, and everyone ordered different burgers, and we all left very satisfied. The indoor seating is limited, but there is seating outside available too. You can definitely feel the food truck vibes from their beginnings, and it adds a little to the atmosphere.

I've always loved the food and the service. But today, they botched my order and made no effort to redress it. Then when I sat down to eat, the burger bun was stale and crumbled in my hands. Disappointed as any other time I would've given five stars.

I love Only Burger for its unique burger items, like The Carolina and The Philly. It is the epitome of a southern burger place. However, I had some less than perfect experiences about 4 months ago, when I had visited Only Burger two weeks in a row. On one occasion, I had ordered a chili burger (The Carolina) and chili cheese fries. My chili fries were hot, cheesy, and fresh, but my chili burger wasn’t warm enough. Even though it comes with coleslaw on it, the temperature was not where it should have been. On both occasions, I sat at the first table and the ketchup was not fresh. I also had tried the fried green tomatoes during this two-week period, and they were not what I was hoping for. The batter they were fried in tasted stale and old. I probably will continue to come here occasionally. I’m hoping that these experiences were just a one-off (well, a two-off) situation, as they happened within a week of each other.

Expect to spend at least $20 on your meal alone; if you get an entree, a side, and a drink...but sooooo delicious!!

Got a turkey burger nothing complicated….was so thin and not juicy A few years ago they did it right it was a juicy thick burger the way it should be for $10(+)…. Now it’s a dry bun with a thin patty I’ll pass not going back

What can I say; this is the Only Burger I eat... The customer service is exceptional! Everything I have tried it's addictive. I drive from the other side of the Bull City to enjoy these delicious and succulent meals. It's worth the drive and every dollar spent here to support a great local business.
