14 Best Burger Restaurants near Durham

“Was told about this place from a buddy of mine that goes to UNH, the service here was fast, friendly, and the food was surprisingly cheap. The quality and taste of the food was exceptional, especially considering you can get a specialty burger, specialty fries and a drink for just $15. Quite possibly the tastiest burger you can get in the entire Seacoast, I will definitely be coming back!Parking: Parking is done from the road, but considering its near UNH campus and fraternity/sorority houses, spots can be difficult to find“

“We eat at Betty's Kitchen at least once each time we come to Rye. We love this place for the comfort food breakfast. The menu has plenty of choices for egg omelettes, pancakes, French Toast, meats, and sides without the menu being too long. Absolutely have to try it.Parking: Parking is plentiful.“

“One of my favorite breakfast spots! The fruity pebble French toast literally is MIND BLOWING & very crave-worthy. Such an amazing crunch & flavor loaded - it's my go to recommendation for anyone going to Fat Dog. Amazing service - relocating to a larger space. A well-earned locals favorite. It's a must!“

“Always a great time with great food. Come early if you want to beat the wait, but they have a great phone app that keeps you posted on your table. If there is a wait, usually a quick walk to the waterfront and they’re texting that your table is ready.“

“Had to check if this was a real farm for the fries but it checks out actually which was an interesting read. I just get the fries here since they are cooked in peanut oil and I'm a vegetarian shakes we're pretty good not the best I've ever had but better than McDonald'“

“Very,good...read the bad reviews of the Chili and they COULD NOT BE MORE WRONG..got a Chili Cheese Dog and it was the BEST I've ever had.My wife got the Double Cheeseburger and it was the perfect size,cooked perfect and on a nice soft bun.We split an order of Onion Rings which were superb...very light batter and fried to perfection with some nice Ranch dipping sauce on the side.The girl at the counter was very Attentive and came out and made sure we were satisfied.Talked to the two young gentlemen doing the cooking and they OBVIOUSLY care about making nice food.As far as cost...it's on par with ALL the Burger spots and cheaper than a few but THEY BLOW FIVE GUYS OUT OF THE WATER!...except for the fries.Overall it's clean,inexpensive and very very good...the dogs are high quality and the toppings are high quality as well,I'll be back often.“

“We are frequent patrons of Bobby's place KCG on Wheels (Lee Circle Grocery on Wheels). Bobby is the nicest guy and works so hard to make great food available to anyone driving by. We'll get to the food in a minute, but I have to tell you one of the reasons why he's such a nice guy. He doesn't collect tips - he instead asks that tips go into a tip jar that he then donates to a local charity. See? Nice guy.Ok, now the food. You see this drive up trailer that looks so trashy (sorry Bobby) sitting on the side of Rt 125 just north of the Lee Traffic Circle and think "why would anyone buy anything there?". There are a lot of reasons, and you can read all the reviews to give you an idea. I don't eat meat so I order the local fried haddock and chips with extra remoulade sauce every time. Bobby makes the remoulade sauce and it is to die for - so much better than tartar sauce. The haddock is a large portion that is cooked to perfection; not greasy nor in a heavy coating of batter. The fries are great - hot, crisp, salty and flavorful. One time I changed things up and asked for onion rings instead of fries for an upcharge. I wasn't a huge fan of them; although cooked well, they had far too much breading for me.I hear the burgers are great, and so is the pulled pork sammie. Haven't tried the chicken fingers yet but will based on other reviews. Bobby posts the daily specials on his Facebook page so you always know what's on the menu.As for atmosphere, well, it IS on the side of a busy road full of commuters, locals and a ton of visitors who are trying to get to the lakes region and other parts of this beautiful state. The traffic is loud and there really is nothing to do while waiting for your order. But don't drive by thinking this place is a roadside dump; Bobby makes great food and cares about the local community.“

“I would share pictures but I dug in too fast. I had the Put a Ring on It and I even had it for pickup and everything about it was PERFECT. Open the container the presentation of a take out order was BEAUTIFUL and it tastes EVEN BETTER!!!Also my coworker got the Lexie’s Big Mouth and said he could eat about 8 more!!!Highly recommend!!“

“I’ve enjoyed Tim’s for brisket tacos a few times while hanging out at Tideline. But! Did you know they cater? We used them for our office holiday party and enjoyed zesty brisket, savory bbq chicken and even a lovely lively shrimp scampi for the pescatarialy oriented within our party. Also! We could have easily created an entire meal out of just the sides: Mashed potato, sweet potato, mac & cheese, and a fabulously roasted Parmesan asparagus with all garnishes and fixin’s available to boot. It was like a second thanksgiving! Everyone raved. The planning process was easy and transparent and in meal service highly attentive. My biggest regret was not having enough capacity to eat literally every dish available. Thanks guys!“

“Locals is a classic example of a sports bar. They have improved over the years but still stick to their roots. On this particular visit, we noticed how they hustled to keep everyone happy on Saint Patrick's Day. They are great at what they do.This restaurant has a massive bar, multiple TVs to watch sports, and games such as dart boards. Perfect place to catch up with friends. The drinks are STRONG! Each time I visit I can only handle one. As for the food, it is decent. If you stick to the apps and comfort food you will be satisfied. If you're looking for a drink and to watch a game, I recommend Locals.“

“Holy Cow! What an awesome roadside find. 2 of us stopped while running an errand and were very impressed with everything! Quality of food was great, friendly staff and very reasonably priced. It’s not far off 101 which I travel a lot, It’s definitely worth taking the exit for! Thank you for an awesome breakfast bowl, the “kitchen sink” on was awesome!“

“We hosted a coed baby shower in the function room, it was fantastic. I couldn't believe how much food there was. From salads, pizzas, and pasta, a wonderful variety. They also made a special gf pizza for my niece with celiac. Guests were raving about it. The servers were accommodating, and kept up with the crowd. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is the room is a little tired. However, after we added decorations and people it was not noticed. Don't hesitate to book your function at Roger's Pizza. There is a reason they have been in business for over 50 years!“

“This place is a gem. I always wanted an authentic lobster roll from somewhere in New England and I finally got it. It was everything I wanted and more. Scallops and clams were terrific too. Will visit again when I'm back up this way. Thanks yall.“

“We had yesterday and today here, we had Shannon as our waitress both days. She was phenomenal both times. Her attitude was awesome and you tell she loved her job. These are the kinds of people I love to come across especially while vacationing. If you ever have the opportunity to dine at this IHOP, make sure you come for breakfast and sit in her serving area. Thank you Shannon for a wonderful experience we will definitely stop by and seeing on the return trip. Dan, Tracy and Becky.“
