Such a neat concept for a burger place. It's a great concept that you get to write down the different toppings and type of burger you want and then slide the paper through. I had one char burger with cheese and a vanilla milkshake. Burger was delicious and so was the shake especially for how cheap it was.
This is the OG of Chargrills. I grew up eating here. All of the food is really damn good. I love the current atmosphere and wish it was not going away for a large building but it is what it is. I am probably bias about chargrill because I have been eating here for such a long time but it is a Raleigh icon and it is a must try asap if you are visiting or live in the area. Hot dogs are red dogs. Chili and slaw is very good. The cheeseburgers are the smallest size of all the burger sizes. They are actually my favorite. The junior is in the shape of a hot dog type bun but the 2nd largest option and the hamburger steak is the largest. All are very good. Apple turn over awesome. Milkshakes are very good but thick. Get a spoon. Go try it before the original location changes. By the way if you have never been here you order by filling out a form and sliding it through a slot in the front window. They will call your name or number on the slip. See pics for form.
First time being at Char grill. The food came out fresh/fast. The only issue I have is the food is overpriced.
Great spot to grab a late night chargrilled burger! Order process is fast and efficient. Burger was delicious!
I stopped by here at 7:25pm on a Thursday evening. I found this by looking for fast food and wanted to try something different from the chain restaurants.
On arrival, I looked at the menu which consists of burgers, grilled cheese, hot dogs, and bbq. They also have shakes. It reminds me of the Cookout chain, honesty. As I’m writing this review, I’m wishing they sold hushpuppies, lol.
You must order via a piece of paper where you notate your choices, something I was completely unaware at first until I saw someone else grab the sheet.
I got a double char burger with bacon, fries, and a brownie w/ no nuts. I placed my order at 7:30. Placing your order means putting it into this little slot where a staff member grabs it. You can put your name at the top or simply remember the number at the top. When ready, they will call your name or number via speakers that are a decent volume.
They do have two picnic tables outside on the left side of the building. There is no indoor seating. There is a decent amount of parking available around the restaurant.
Upon arrival and waiting, I saw they have a 100% sanitation score. My food was ready at 7:40pm. I was told they were out of brownies but I got a cookie instead. My total was $13.13.
My fries were fresh and nicely salted. I realized I mean to get a cheese burger vs chat burger when there was no cheese on my burger lol. For some reason, I thought they were different. However, the burger was delicious. It tasted just like a freshly grilled burger, which is my burger weakness!!! The cookie was so soft and delicious! Additionally, it was warm too, which made it a nice snack after I finished my meal. (I will admit that I asked the employee if the cookie was worth the price before I got it.)
My only complaint was that I wasn’t greeted upon arrival or told what I do. I was standing around for a while looking and no one asked if I needed help or to give me instructions on what I needed to do to order.
Overall, I would highly recommend and I would definitely return! The staff i encountered when picking up and paying for my order was friendly.
This older Downtown location is walk up only... though you can park your car ...definitely old but well organized from what I can see... The service is polite and efficient... The burger was cooked fresh and so very tasty... I hear that this location may be torn down to make room for a high rise...so get it while you can...I do recommend it...
This location is old school. Fill out your order and drop it through the slot like you’re sending a burger wish list.
They have hot dogs and grilled cheese but IMO you come here for the burgers. These babies are cooked over an open flame giving them an awesome smoky flavor.
Fries are always perfect and the shakes are a great combo with their saltiness.
Single pattie is normally enough for me (only $4!) but you can double up if you’re hungry.
This place was recommended by a young lady from the old mill that me family and I visited while we were in town for my daughter's soccer tournament. So we gave it a shot and we were all glad we did. WOW, best burgers I have had outside of home ever! Thank you
What a great spot for hot fresh made burgers and fries! Absolutely loved that we stopped here on our way out. Service was amazing and the food was delicious! The burgers have a great Char Taste and are hot and fresh! (That’s something almost unheard of in the food industry over the last decade) so HATS OFF to this place for getting it right! The best burger we’ve had in NC by far and can’t wait to get back up to Raleigh to enjoy another trip to this place! 👍👍👍👍👍
