Carolina Burgers – Good char grilled taste. Chili is good, the slaw taste like it came from one of those little plastic tubs. I'm sorry, but it insults me to have to pay extra for slaw on a burger in NC.

The Best Fat Burger in Town – If you are Craving a Fatty Burger Char Grill is the Place!!!!! Pros: great america burgers and fries Cons: All location are not dine in. Sometimes Takes Out can be very messy.

Just got take out from the Cary location, Very disappointing. I haven't been to CG since back in the day at the Hillsborough location. Staff seemed like they could care less, BBQ sandwich was the smallest one I've seen in years, wife's 1/4lb steak was under cooked. My 1/2 lb wasn't bad and the BLT was also tiny. Fries were good

Char-grill Cary is different .... for a reason. – This is my first time reviewing / informing but felt compelled by some of the mis-information posted here about this great Raleigh tradition. For the folks who are whining about the Cary Char-grill being different, there is a good reason, it the first one that is a franchise and not owned by the original owners. My family and I ate there the other night and had the chance to speak to Kurt, one of the owners. This is their first franchise store of many more in the future. Yes,... read more

Cary gets a Char-Grill! – I love the new Char-Grill that recently opened in Cary (Cary Parkway at Waldo Rood). It has outdoor and indoor seating, which was nice, considering it was 90 degrees. Inside it is nostalgically decorated with some articles about the original restaurant on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh and the Edwards Drive location. The food was superb! I had a hamburger steak junior. Love the fries too.

Good Burgers, Fries and Milk Shakes – My family and I stopped at Char-Grill after spending a day at Pullen Park which is just down the road. Had very good burgers (not the best I have ever had), fries and the milk shake was good too although a little too thick for my liking. I do agree with the review that was written earlier. . .the burgers would have ranked higher if you could choose how you would want them cooked (I like mine medium-rare). No inside seating. There are two picnic tables outside if you choose to eat there. ... read more

I have never, ever had a better cheeseburger- Raleigh Natives Know! – I am a Raleigh native although I currently live in Charleston, SC and have been here for 7 years but everytime I go home I plan a trip to Char-Grill! I cannot believe there are people out there they do not think Char-Grill cheeseburgers are the best! I have been a Char-Grill fan for at least 21 years out of my 26 year life! They truly are perfect- a great place for cheesburgers, fries and shakes! To this day, I have not found one place that even comes clos... read more

Excellent Food, But Customer Service Seems to be Sliding – I've been a huge fan of Char-Grill for the past 22 years or so, and I still think their burgers are some of the best around, and their fries are absolutely out of this world. However, I've noticed that the customer service is not what it used to be. Their posted hours say they are open until 2AM on Friday and Saturday evenings, but I found them closed at 5-10 minutes until 2 this past weekend. When I arrived my watch said 1:53, but they were closed. I called Time and... read more
