Great service and yummiest veggie burgers in town! Highly recommend the sweet potato fries!

I might be biased, but I love Emma Keys! Juicy burgers, homemade ranch & pickles, and the best staff. What more could you ask for?

Great food and friendly staff. Stopped by for lunch on a weekend trip and loved it. Note there is limited panear by.

Absolutely amazing burger spot in Greensboro! Small place but great food. I'd recommend sitting at the bar and watching the magic happen. My son and I went there every day on our 4 day trip there. Must stop.

Emma Key's has good food despite whatever changes they've gone through over the years. It's really good food. However, it's never one of the places I long to go because the experience can be so hit and miss, especially in terms of service. Service itself isn't bad or unfriendly, it's just frequently slow and I don't think they do a very good job of managing the whole process. Also, they don't have beer anymore which is a bit of a downer if you have to wait. There isn't a lot of seating and half of it is outside so you very much get the experience of a local place. That's fine to me as there are many other options within throwing distance if you can't get a seat here. Takeout may be the strongest point of Emma Key's as their food really holds up on the drive home. Check your order before you leave though.

New owners but food and service are still FANTASTIC!!! Indoor and Outdoor seating and I believe it's dog friendly.

Stopped by Emma Key's for lunch a few times this past month and I'm always impressed! The burgers are sooo delicious and filling. The staff were also friendly and attentive, and I can't wait to see what else the new owners plan to do with the place. I definitely recommend stopping by this place for a meal if you're in Greensboro! Try the Kimchi Burger!

Great burgers and onion rings! Meat is really flavor filled and nothing cooked before you order it. So fresh fresh fresh!

Nice, quiet setting for lunch. You walk in grab a menu and order at the counter. They will give you a number and bring the food to you when it's ready.My burger was tender and juicing. My brother enjoyed his hot dogs. Managers and staff walked by checking on you. My only and biggest disappointment was the soda machine. Considering the cleanliness of the restaurant how does dirt and grime builds up on the soda machine.

Long Story Short: This Place Slaps! Read on for more! My wife and I frequent this spot whenever we are craving a tasty burger for dinner! Yes there are plenty of options around Greensboro to get a burger, however Emma Key's has this familiar feel to it every time we walk in. The staff is predominantly college aged students who are nice and can offer tasty suggestions! And they all seem to always be jammin out to the music that is playing! The interior itself is a little cramped, however they do offer seating outside for when the weather is great! Inside they have Rubik's cubes and on days with great weather they offer chalk outside for people to draw or write with! I typically get a plain bacon cheeseburger and my wife loves to get their garlic aioli on a burger with mushrooms! We split a large garlic rosemary fries (definitely a must try), as it is more than enough for 2 people! If you are ever near Lindley Park, I highly advise making this place a priority for lunch or dinner! Also, I only rated 4/5 because the only parking available is on the road, however don't let that deter you from trying this place!
I wish we lived close to this place because we would become regulars! Found this place by accident in an awesome historic neighborhood. The burger selection is wonderfully diverse. I had the Swiss Bliss and my wife had the Hog Wild burger. They were both excellent! Logan and Aubry were both very helpful and friendly! We will definitely come back when we are in the area again!Kid-friendliness: We don’t have kids, but we saw that they provide sidewalk chalk for kids to decorate the patio. There’s even a cute little “toddler table” outside!

I went to Emma Keys for the first time today. It will definitely not be the last! The burger was perfectly cooked, juicy, and delicious. Everyone in my group had something different and everyone said theirs was fantastic.

we have eaten quite a few burgers from Emma Keys last two times, the wait was way too long. Tonight's burger was not cooked thoroughly and one of the buns was broken apart. it was a take out order. Burger was not juicy and was lacking seasoning. hope things will improve.

I LOVED my burger! It was the attention to detail that made all the difference. The kaiser roll was fresh, the bacon was crisp, the cheese was melted on the patty, and they put the lettuce on the bottom so the bun didn't fall apart with the juice from the fantastic burger. This place is old school and worth your time! (Don't get me started on the pound cake! Get a slice to go if you're too full to eat it after your meal.)
