Appetizing cheeseburger on wooden table. Flat lay. Food photography

I asked around the room here at the office. I’m not talking about the fancy stuff but other than barbecue or fried fish what is your favorite meal?  Their answer was a delicious mouth-watering cheeseburger.  Oh yeah, talking my language. Here are the top mouth-watering burger places in North Carolina.

I checked in with the experts, Only In Your State, to see if they had the same question.  Where can you find the top ten best mouth-watering burger places in North Carolina? Their survey includes an iconic burger place right here in Charlotte.  And it came pretty high on the list.

Coming in at number two on the top ten list is Brooks Sandwich House in Charlotte, North Carolina.  There you will find no frills and no-nonsense mouth-watering food.  I hear their cheeseburger topped with bacon or chili is the bomb.  Do kids still say “the bomb”?  I still do! Can you believe I have lived around here all my life and I have never been there?  Going today.

Now, I have been to Beaches Burgers in Ocean Isle. It makes the top ten mouth-watering burger places in North Carolina.  My sister lives near there and recommended it to me last summer.  Delicious!! Again, a very no-nonsense establishment that just makes great burgers.

Now this isn’t in North Carolina but I love the burgers at Eagles Nest in Clover, South Carolina. For more on the top ten mouth-watering burger places in North Carolina get the whole list in Only In Your State right here.

The 15 Best Burgers In Charlotte North Carolina

Today, August 25th is National Burger Day. Which is another fantastic holiday.  Especially as a child, I was a burger connoisseur. I had probably eaten one at every restaurant in Charlotte. As I’ve gotten older my pallet has slightly expanded and in an effort to keep my waist from doing the same, I don’t order them for every meal like I once did. But don’t let that sentiment fool you, I still love a good burger! But who has the best burgers in Charlotte? I’m not so sure anymore. So I was excited about making this list. And while the heavy hitters (many of which I love) definitely made an appearance on this list, there were some I wasn’t familiar with (and I can’t wait to try!). In fact, I know what I’m doing for lunch today.

I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57, and french fried potatoes. A big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer… Ok, that’s not actually my preference (shoutout to Jimmy Buffett) but it does need to always have cheese. And lots of it. Bacon also helps a burger go from good to great in my opinion. Many restaurants have a special sauce to make them stand out. Or crazy combinations you wouldn’t think of. Do you like yours old-fashioned, fancy, with chili, or plain jane? Fries or Tots? Milkshake, soda, or beer to wash it down? Charlotte has a burger spot for you.

The rankings come from the review site Yelp and are based on the “highest rated” feature. There are 15 burger restaurants all in the Charlotte city limits. For restaurants with more than one location, they are combined and ranked where the highest rated location was. This list features 15 restaurants but there are obviously many other fantastic places to grab a burger. What’s your favorite spot? Let us know on social media.
