No matter which char-Grill I go to, the food is always fresh, hot and made the way I ordered it. Great food for a great price. The one on Atlantic has specials on Sunday and Mondays. So you get more great food for less money. If its too cold to wait outside, just phone in your order and it will be ready when you get there. Oh, I'm hungry now. Id like to see a Char-Grill go up in the Wake Forest area.

Char-grill is hands down the best place to get a yummy cheeseburger - the jr. steak cheeseburger! And it's a MUST to try one of their thick shakes; you'll have to eat it with a spoon. If you're headed there during normal lunch or dinner times, go early. They get crowded, especially if you want to eat at one of the two picnic tables outside the restaurant. There is no inside seating. You order and pick-up at the window. They will also accept your faxed order. Enjoy!

Chargrill has the best hamburgers ever! Well known for their steakburgers and their old style look, this place is great. You fill out your own order slip and everything is custom made-to-order. One of my favorite things about them is their crushed ice. In a world where fast food uses ice-cubes, the crushed ice is really nice! They keep the place decorated in checker-style walls, with pictures of classic cars. It has a very 60s feel to it. If you like a good hamburger, you need to try this place!

The new Cary Char-Grill has both indoor and outdoor seating, so it's great when the weather is less than perfect. Love the flavor!

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, it is a different concept than the stand-alone stores but is meant to be easily repeated in more available locations. The food is still cooked the traditional Char-grill way (My wife and kids loved it) and their burgers are far and away the best in town. The only drawback we found is that because they do not cook ANYTHING ahead of time, you have a wait of 7 to 12 minutes, but everything comes out piping hot and is great. Secondly, yes, I agree with the other old timers, I wish they were still able to cook your burger to order (medium, medium well etc) but that was not a change by Char-grill but by the state hlth dept. And "shakes too thick" as a complaint!? McDonalds is right down the street...... Thanks for coming to Cary Char-grill and good luck witht he franchises! Pros: Freshest , hottest burger and fries in town.

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. Pros: great food Cons: you have to wait while your food is cooked, but it is all fresh.

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. Everyone should try at least once. We will be back! Pros: Burgers and Fries Cons: Milk Shakes too Thick; Not Enough Seating

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 close to matching the Char-Grill cheeseburger (and definitely not Hardees!!!) Pros: THE BEST CHEESEBURGERS EVER Cons: NONE!!!

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 Temperature (919-683-9696) to verify my watch and found that it was actually 2 minutes fast. This means that Char-Grill closed even earlier than I thought. The moral of the story is that if you want to leave a bar in time to get to Char-Grill, you apparently need to leave so you can get to the joint by 1:30. Otherwise the night employees might close a little early, leaving you hungry. Pros: Best fries anywhere, super burgersq Cons: Posted Times not observed
