Where is the Best Hamburger in Charlotte, North Carolina?
Recently, I stopped in for some quick food and it was delicious. The burgers were really good and had a lot of flavor. Also, I couldn’t stop eating the fries! They were nice and crispy, just the way I like them. Although there weren’t too many people in there on a Sunday, the bartender was very friendly. Overall, it was a good experience. Pros + Really good foodCons – Not too many people in there for a bar
Eds is the epitome of a neighborhood bar located in the mostly residential area of Dilworth. They have something on the menu to please just about anyone. Their burgers are great, all of their sandwiches have something to say for themselves and their newest addition “Fried green beans” are out of this world. The drink specials are as good as you are going to get in the city here. Almost every day you can get a domestic bottle/draft for $2, sometimes even cheaper. I know at one point they had $1.50 Coors drafts. Eds is a pretty big place but it does fill up quickly from Thurs-Sunday especially if a game is on they will be busy from 11am-close in most situations. They have plenty of televisions with various games. They have pool, juke box, checkers and darts. Friendly atmosphere, cheap drinks, good food…great recipe. Pros + Huge Menu, Cheap DrinksCons – Gets pretty crowded
If you want hot dogs with various toppings this is the place. Although it wasn’t as good as everyone said it was. The hot dogs were smaller than the bun. The toppings looked fresh, but lack of taste and zing. When I ordered the Bread Bowl to-go they didn’t even give me the bread bowl. I specifically asked the server, If I didn’t order the Bread Bowl for dine-in..do I still get the bread for take-out, she said yes, but when I got home, NOTHING’S THERE! So I just had regular chilli with no bread bowl. Though I was cheated a little there. 1 small dog, 1 drink, 1 so called bread bowl, set me back $8.50, not filling enough for that amount of money. (unless if I HAD THE BREAD MAYBE)Pros + Various dogs to pick, FastCons – Not much place to sit, Cold food, Bit pricey
In my opinion, Firebirds has the best burger in Charlotte. Maybe anywhere. But the key phrase is “in my opinion”. It also makes a difference whether cost is an issue or not. I’ve read reviews that claim Hardees or Backyard Burgers is the best. Well, for the price, yes they beat something like Wendys or McDonalds, but that’s a whole different category. (In which case Five Guys takes that prize!). But without considering cost, I have to say that the cheeseburgers I’ve had at Firebirds are second to none. I can’t make one as good on MY OWN grill. For a start, because they grind their own beef, they don’t have to conform to those stupid NC regulations that prohibit you having your burger cooked medium rare. But for whatever reason, the end result is superb, and worth the $8.95 . One negative though…their fries, in my opinion are perhaps the WORST I’ve had…they’re those horrible clunky steak-fries. (I almost feel like going in with my own bag of fries from Five Guys!! ) But
