Took a ride to try the great burgers we’ve heard about. I got a cheeseburger & fries. The meat was perfectly cooked & juicy. My husband had the big burger stuffed with the “cheese bomb.” Multiple cheeses inside & on top.
One sweet & friendly lady doing it all-bartender, waitress & cook. She warned us the big burger took 20 mins. Worth the wait!!!
Note-ordered without bun - saved carbs for fries & beer!
Played some music, met some locals & had a great day!

Stopped by for Lunch. WOW. Cheese Bomb Burger is out of this world. Great, Friendly service. We'll definitely be back, worth the drive.
Love the new look, so clean and inviting. The food is excellent, we had the smoked ribs and they were very good. Staff is amazing, love the new management and cook.

The Water Hole is a popular spot for a great meal and drink. With a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, the staff, including attentive bartenders and the cook, work together to provide excellent service. The menu offers tasty burgers, sandwiches, and other options, including a delicious grilled chicken salad. It is known for serving some of the best fried chicken in the basin, which is especially popular after 4 PM. The fried chicken, often enjoyed with North Carolina hot sauce, is highly recommended. Visitors have also praised the "works burger," described as one of the best mom style burgers, making it a great place to stop if passing through. Recently, the restaurant unveiled a new cocktail menu, featuring drinks like the Basil Watermelon Marg, which was enjoyed by many, though some felt it could use a bit more tequila. The staff is known for being very friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming environment. Whether for a casual beer and a bite to eat or a full meal, The Water Hole is a great stop for anyone nearby.
