50 Best Burger Restaurants in Raleigh

“1/20/26. I wanted to give an update. We have been back twice and both the service and the food were excellent. First time back,, tried the deviled eggs which are addictive. Lol, really the next trip was for the eggs but we each ordered a salad and the chicken was cooked to perfection. PREVIOUS REVIEW Waiter was sweet. No silverware so had to use plastic utensils. Chicken rather dark which means it was either overcooked or the oil needs to be changed. Bacon wasn't that great either. However, onion rings and sweet potatoes fries were great.“

“Very good food. I had the elk burger and it was amazing 😋“

“Just ate at Meat and Bite for the first of many times. Excellent food, the service was phenomenal it was a pleasure to meet Mohammad and staff, definitely lifted my mood and am looking forward to stopping by again.“

“Sean’s Shack is hands-down serving the BEST burger I’ve had anywhere in Raleigh and that’s saying something! Juicy, perfectly seasoned, cooked to absolute perfection, and stacked with fresh toppings that actually taste like they were picked just for my order. Every bite was pure magic. Friendly service, great vibes, and food that makes you want to come back the next day (and the day after that). If you’re in Raleigh and you love burgers, stop what you’re doing and get to Sean’s Shack. You can thank me later.“

“Surprisingly delicious! I have ate here a few times. The cali-burger is my first burger that I try here. 1 of the best burgers I’ve had. It’s located near NCSU and if you can get by the traffic, it’s a nice find for a fresh delicious burger. There’s plenty of other order selections to choose from, so try it out 😎“

James and his staff are so amazing💚we have been to this location multiple times the past few weeks with family/friends and ourselves as we were planning for our wedding, we got married this past weekend and came in today to get some lunch, James and his crew remembered us and asked how our big day was.

“If you’re craving an excellent cheeseburger or hamburger, treat yourself to Chargrill. These are some of the best fast food burgers around. Go for the half pound burger, you won’t be disappointed.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely kits friendly withs classic diner feel

Wheelchair accessibility: No problem“

“Char-Grill is a long time icon in Raleigh. They serve great char burgers, fries, and apple pie. This is a drive in restaurant. You order at a window and wait for your name to be called. The wait is normally good and reasonable. The smell of cooking burgers alone will make you hungry...“

“Burgers 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I will be back“

“We were in town for a volleyball tournament and this place came highly recommended. The food was seasoned well and delicious. The drink the new fashioned was top notch. The server was forgetful but kind. We had to wait about 30-45 minutes for a table on a Friday night.“

“This cookout can be kind of hit or miss just depending on when you go. However, when they are on the food is fast and hot and usually all correct and that's exactly what I hope to get from cookout, the late night clutch. As always, will go again. To pretty much any cookout 😂 ¤“

“Several years ago I tried and then purchased several bags of their Pop Snacks. While you can add hummus, peanut butter, etc to them, I love to snack on them without any toppings when I get the munchies while working. Guilt free snack at only 15 calories a “pop”! After reading other reviews, sounds like there are lots of other healthy options to try as well!“

The restaurant itself has a modern and sleek design, with a lively atmosphere that's perfect for a quick bite or a casual dinner with friends.

I ordered the ShackBurger, which features a juicy Angus beef patty, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce, all served on a toasted potato bun. The burger was cooked to perfection, with a nice char on the outside and a pink interior. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, with the ShackSauce adding a tangy and creamy element to the dish.

Everything was super good and I usually stop elsewhere for quick breakfast but for $7 I was shocked how good my breakfast was. And lady was very nice at window“

“Chicken salad is delicious!!“

“Always get the meatloaf cannot go wrong very good and the gravy for the REAL mashed potato is super !!!“

“When visiting from Ohio Zest is always a welcomed visit. Our lunch was amazing and the store was stocked with great gift ideas!“

“The lady “ TYNIQUE” is an absolute God send. She has the aura about her that brightens up days. Those type of people who are just nice because they like to be ( I’m one as well) being in a world full of mean people it feels good to come across a nice beautiful and vibrant soul. They need to PROMOTE her. She is the ONE…“

“The reason I always give them 5 stars. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The restaurant is clean as a whole. The staff are pleasant. And the double whopper with cheese, fries no salt, I use pepper, need to try it! Chocolate shake of course. Don't forget to dip the fries into your shake! You'll be amazed. Would definitely recommend it to others. And you get what you pay for.“

“I had a great experience at Fat Boys Shack in Wake Forest, NC. The food was delicious, and the customer service was a 10/10 from the moment I walked in. My tenders were fried hard just the way I like them without even having to ask, which was a pleasant surprise. The lemonade was also very good and refreshing. The restaurant itself was clean and well kept. Shoutout to the manager on duty, Paige Terry, and employee Tiara Spence for providing excellent service and making the visit even better. I’ll definitely be back!“

“This is how I would picture a diner in the 1950s. Short order cook with a ring full of little paper orders. Service was instant, burger was better than expected, the atmosphere made me smile, and they have tater tots! I will definitely go again. nice change from a typical fast food place.“
