Best Burger in North Carolina and South Carolina

Are you one who likes to have a tasty burger whenever you go out to eat? If you are then whenever you go on vacation, Reader's Digest has come up with a list of restaurants that have the best burger in each state. From the East Coast to the West Coast Reader's Digest has gone to a variety of restaurants in each state trying to determine what restaurant in each state has the best burger.

According to their list, they believe they have found where the best burger is in every state. Sometimes that burger isn't at a restaurant that you would think of. Most times they're at places that people would normally look past. These tasty burgers could come from a gas station or maybe your typical restaurant you never know.

Reader's Digest went to South Carolina and they found that you can get the best burger in the entire state by visiting one restaurant but in 2 different locations. That restaurant is called Grill Marks and they have locations in Greenville and Columbia. You can make your own burger at the restaurant by choosing everything from what type of patty you want to use to the different toppings and the type of bun you want to use. According to this report, the burger that you need to order when you visit this spot is called the French Connection, made up of roasted garlic, brie, caramelized onions, Cabernet Ketchup, and top it all off with a Grills Mark Shake which is piled high with toppings and whipped cream.

The burger was considered the best in North Carolina according to Brooks' Sandwich House which is located right here in Charlotte. This is an old-school traditional type of restaurant that is a cash-only restaurant that's been open since 1973. The rule is when you order a burger you have to get it "all the way" and that means it's topped with with mustard, onions, and smoky beef chili. Make sure you go during the week because this place is only open Monday through Friday.

What restaurants do you think have the best burgers?

There are a few things that get me more excited than anything. That's shopping and eating. Whether it's me cooking a new meal, cooking my favorite meal, or even going to some of my favorite restaurants. One of the best things to also do is try new foods and restaurants around your area. I have moved around quite a few times in the last few years, but in every spot I lived, I went looking for restaurants. Whether it was simple stuff like American and pizza or I was trying new stuff like Tex-Mex when living in Houston, TX.

While sitting and eating my somewhat healthy lunch, I started thinking about cheeseburgers. This is somewhat ironic because I am not a fan of cheeseburgers but sometimes those burgers can really hit the spot. A juicy patty with a great slice of cheese and tons of topping options is one of those things everyone can call a great meal. Don't even let me get started on having the perfect side item to go along with that burger.

So, while I was sitting and thinking I decided to go look up some great cheeseburgers in the state of North Carolina. Now, I know that is probably a wide range but I wanted to see how crazy some of these restaurants get. I wanted to see if I could find those hidden gems with some crazy, super tasty cheeseburger options. So, take a ride through my mind and check out 5 of the best cheeseburgers I could find in North Carolina.

Up first, we're visiting a spot in Raleigh, North Carolina. Mama Crow's is a burger joint serving up a few different burger options for one to enjoy. One of their famous and most popular burgers is their smash burger. The burger is double smashed patties with cheese curds, mushrooms, onions, goat cheese, and black mayo on fresh bread.

Now, we're heading to Greensboro, North Carolina to check out this burger bar. Hops Burger Bar is serving up fresh burgers with some locally grown ingredients to include on it. Each week they do a different featured burger for guests to try and enjoy. The options are endless. One burger that looked great to me is the pickleback. Enjoy a burger topped with fried onion rings, bbq sauce, and bourbon marinated pickles. Like what?! I can only imagine! They don't have a photo, but here's a picture of another insane weekly featured burger.

Now, we're right here in Charlotte. Bang Bang Burgers gives you high-quality, made-from-scratch burgers for you to enjoy.

This burger can be in either a single or a double and it comes with pepper jack cheese, onion strings, shaved jalapenos, and siracho mayo. Whew!

Now, I am sure that sushi is not the first thing you think about when you are talking about a burger. Well, The Cowfish is one spot you might think about both because that's what they are serving up. The have a location in both Charlotte and Raleigh to enjoy. The Charlotte menu has tons of options, but one burger that stands out is the jalapeno popper show stopper burger. This burger comes with 1/2 pound of beef, jalapeno infused cream cheese, jalapeno bacon, fried jalapenos, jalapeno citrus aioli, lettuce, tomato, and fresh jalapenos on a brioche bun. Now, talk about a beast of a burger!
