Best Burger in the state.

Five Guys blows.

And lulz at Sonic burgers. Wendy's and Steak n' Shake destroy all in terms of fast food burger.

You don't deserve to eat Steak 'n Shake after badmouthing five guys like that...

Jokes aside, the frisco melt at S&S is the bomb.
 
That would be me. And, yes, they are pre-made, but they pre make them on site using real beef, not the pink slime crap places like McDonalds uses. Family owned business that has been around for decades. Interestingly, the guy who opened it also opened up a place down the road called PG's. they serve breakfast and lunch and it, too, is slammed with business. Well, several years ago the guy and his wife split and she got PG's and he got Pete's in the divorce. I believe their son now owns both again, or at least has some stake in both.
Anyway, like I said, it is more of a greasy spoon kinda burger joint anyway, not the gourmet type like Hops and some others. Just one of those good, cheap burgers you can get and go and not feel like you just ate a wrapped up piece of plastic.

Maybe we can get together one saturday night at Pete's talk a little Carolina basketball. I like reidsville , it is a nice little town.
 
The scoutology list was put together by a woman and it's perfume and shampoo and potpourri and any other bullshit you want to add. The kind of guy that likes these burgers washes his hand at the end of a work day and no dirt is in the wash water :D

The second list was put together by a man that has his name on his shirt ! A good God fearing American , blue collar type ! All these places on the second list will be full of Solid Tar Heels fans. Loyola Chicago punches it ticket to the final four, man what a story would love to see them win it all. **** the one and dones !

Sounds good to me!

I live in Reidsville and work in Greensboro. I am always up for a burger and Tar Heel sports talk!
 
If you unfortunatly find yourself in Salisbury don't leave town without stopping by Hap's Grill. Their burgers are good but the hot dogs are what most folks stand in line for.
 
Thrillist did a top 100 burgers in the US list, and plenty from the area made this list:
Tattooed Moose, Charleston, #94
Bang Bang Burgers, Charlotte, #80
Zack's, Charlotte, #32
Tastee Diner, Asheville, #30
Little Jack's Tavern, Charleston, #23
Brooks Sandwich House, Charlotte, #8- trust them on this one

Dukes, a little hidden gem in Monroe, has been rated in the top 10 nationally on several lists.
There's a hole in the wall spot in Wilmington near the port area called Winnies that has great burgers as well.
South 21 and BBQ King in Charlotte both do a fine job, and Pinky's Westside does it right as well.

Jerry Norris was the man behind the Melvin's burger until 1981. He left to open a burger shop in Wilmington don't know the name of the shop but it would have to be a great burger. I will do some research and found out the name of the burger shop.
 
Since you’re in Greensboro, have you tried Hops? I won’t go as far as saying they are the best burgers in the nation (as some yelp reviews said they were), but they are pretty good. They have a nice beer selection, and the sweet potato fries are tasty too.
My aunt just moved to Greensboro. She posts about hops all the time. She keeps wanting me to come down there to take me there. (I live in Pittsburgh)

You come on down to Greensboro and I will drive you to Elizabethtown and get you a great burger for a 1/4 the cost of a over hyped Hops burger ! If Melvin's opened beside Hops , in 6 months Hops would be a car wash ! That is a fact !
