The 7 Best Burgers In Raleigh, How do these rankings work?

1. Bad Daddys Burger Bar

In 2007, the first Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar opened on East Blvd. in Charlotte and it was an immediate success – soon spreading from there. Their recipe for that success is simple, amazing quality ingredients and world class service.

2. MoJoe’s Burger Joint

They hand patty their Premium Sterling Silver beef every day, and you can choose from a 6 ounce, 10 ounce, or “Hall of Fame”: one lb freshly grilled burger. Throw in gorgeous crinkle cut fries and you won’t forget this experience in a hurry.

3. The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar

Sushi and burgers probably don’t sound like the most obvious match, but they work perfectly in this bar. The perfect place to go if one person wants to eat healthy and the other have a big tasty, juicy burger.

4. Mandolin

Every Monday, there is a special house-ground burger that comes in any number of gourmet flavor combinations.

It could be topped with mac and cheese, or french fried onions, or even a heaping portion of mouthwatering pimento cheese. Yum!

5. Mama Crow’s Burger & Salad Shop

Mama Crow’s is a funky burger joint that serves up fresh top-quality burgers, house-made cheeses, and hand-cut fries at Transfer Co. Food Hall.

As well as their signature burger with house American cheese, they’ve got some tempting toppings. Think: a patty melt with cheese curds, griddled mushrooms, charred onions and goat cheese.

6. BurgerFi

This eco-friendly burger chain keeps things premium with the top 1% of prime Angus beef and hand-cut fries. Their classic cheeseburger comes in a super soft milk bun with American cheese.

Or, go wild and order the CEO: Double Wagyu + Brisket Blend Burger, Homemade Candied Bacon-Tomato Jam, Truffle Aioli and Aged Swiss Cheese.
