Char Grill - Metro Durham/Chapel Hill

Amazing food! The food is amazing but one thing is it is outdoor and also You always hear the traffic of Raleigh. It is a very convenient place to go to though! The food is always amazing and consistent! Overall, I think this is my favorite burger joint out of all of the companies in the states! They grill their food and you can always look at it while they are making it Great food, though five out of five

First time trying this place while in town for GalaxyCon Raleigh 2024 and decided to give it a shot after reading up on the reviews. I had the charburgers, fries, hot dogs, and shakes. I absolutely 100% recommend this location and will return next year for more delicious burgers! The fries are like a perfect version of what Burger King's fries are and are fantastic. The burgers are, in my view, a smash burger style and are absolutely phenomenal. I couldn't get enough of them, especially when you put fries on the burgers for extra toppings. They had the perfect charcoal grill flavor to them. The hotdog I got was okay, but nothing stood out to me. I got it fully loaded and I'd say it was like a 7.5/10 at best. But don't knock it! It's still worth giving a try! The only negative thing I'd have to say about this spot is that I saw several questionable people around the location (possible addicts by the body language they gave off? but they can't control that.

It's iconic. Burgers are absolutely delicious and pretty cheap. The fries are just ok. Overall though, Char Grill never misses!

I was turned away 20 mins before they closed. And they announced their closing 5 mins later so they were open when they turned me away.

Nestled on Hillsborough, Char-Grill has a nostalgic, cozy atmosphere with its old cinderblock building, vintage painted signs, and the smoky aroma of charcoal-grilled patties. Orders are submitted on menu checks and called out through a loudspeaker when ready, adding to the charm of this classic burger joint. Extras: Good for groups or solo diners, plenty of parking, introvert-friendly, takeout only, quick service, counter ordering
