Been eating at Char Grill for over 30 years. Still best burgers around. Milkshakes are killer too! Made to order right in front of you. Old style ordering and atmosphere. Not to be missed when in the area.

A Raleigh institution; I have to join the crowd of folks who can't see what the fuss is about. You order by filling out a fussy little form, then slipping it through a slot into the cook's area, which is on the other side of what seems to be bulletproof glass. But read the damn thing carefully, because it's a... More

I decided to check this place out, as it always had a line of people waiting outside and made the Harris Teeter parking lot smell like a grill (the location on Edwards Mill Road). When I arrived there was a long line outside, as expected. I was a bit confused looking for a place to order, though identified I was... More

Had my first burger from Char-Grill in 1986. There's not many times I go to Raleigh that I don't stop by. It's just as good now as ever. Nothing fancy, just good food.

Tastes like mine on the grill...no wait...it's BETTER than that. Always great food, fresh ingredients, flame kist goodness. Love the 50s vibe and the stacked staff shoulder to shoulder and making it work as well as the stacked burgers. Really. I crave this place. If you haven't been, go...if you have been lately, go back...these guys need to stay in... More

When I want a burger or grilled chicken sandwich and some fries and I want them now, I go to Char-Grill. I either fill in my order on their order slips when I get there or I call ahead. Either way, it's just a matter of minutes before it is ready, literally hot off the grill. Since most of their... More

Outstanding burgers. A favorite with locals. Most locations do not have indoor seating. Try the hamburger steak sandwich.

I'm giving this place an Excellent rating, not because it rivals the best white linen dining establishments, but just because it is simply the Best for Burgers & Fries! The burgers are exceptionally juicy, tasty with little bits of crispy char on them, complete with whatever toppings you wish (I even routinely write in "mustard", and they always fulfill). It's...
