We used to eat here all the time but recently they've changed their staff. Now it's complete CRAP! The big gene had ZERO taste and very little sauce (it was GROSS), and the cheese sticks were severely over cooked to the point all the cheese had bursted out. We called them to let them know and was told we could get our order replaced. Well.... we even called ahead to make sure they still had our name down for a replacement so we wouldn't waste gas going All the way there. They advised us they would but when we got there they said it had been too long and they wouldn't replace anything! It's been less than 2 weeks ago! I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone! It's went to total CRAP! it's new name is should be BURGER CRAP! read more

Burger Carte - Hot Dogs Near Me - Smithers, West Virginia

It used to be very good in the 60s and 70s then started changing hands. We experienced wrong orders, missing orders, hairs, hamburgers not done in the middle over time and stopped going. It had been a few months and decided to see if maybe they have new management....Ordered 2 burgers, 2 mozarella sticks, broccoli bites. It's 12 miles there and 12 back. He gets home and said he asked them to cut burgers in half to make sure the were done...they did not, instead they burned them crisp. How hard is it to get something just cooked done? They left out an order of mozarella sticks and the burned the broccoli bites to the point of throwing them away. Never ever ever again, it's time to close. read more

I am visiting from Arizona and had to stop at the famous Burger Carte !! I ate there 2x and both times was very good !!

Stopped today got a A-1 Steak-burger. Spot on ! Food was awesome, service was MTO. Not one complaint. Nice little restaurant.

Stopped in for lunch. We ordered 2 cheeseburgers and a side of fresh cut fries, and a chocolate milkshake. The girl who took our order was nice and friendly. Our food was made fresh to order. Burgers were seasoned well. There's only 3 small tables inside, so we sat outside. It is definitely worth the drive! read more

This is what classic American/ fast food should be. The location is small on the side of the road, but it packs in everything you'd need. We've had the burgers, they were all good- from the mountain mama (with fried green tomatoes) to a classic double cheese burger they are able to nail both sides of the burger spectrum. Outside of that they have a wide variety of food option. Corn dogs, wings, nachos, sandwiches and the famous Al Burger (sandwich meat than traditional burger). Make sure to grab a milkshake for dessert! They do have online ordering, take contactless payment and plenty of parking. A little bit of covered seating outside but mainly a grab and go stop. Don't pass this one up if you are driving by. read more

Finally had the Big Al Burger. So many locals recommended it, so I had to try it. Not a burger at all, But it is huge. I loved it. It is sloppy, and oh so yummy, with multiple meats and some heat to go with it. If you are in the area stop by and try it. read more

Service is horrible but food is good. If they have it in stock! Service just is not friendly, I think the poker room and serving is to much for the one worker that they work up front. Maybe hire one or two more people and it would probably get better. read more

Just a nice simple food spot, not gonna blow you away but if ur just needing something other than fast food then this is the place. Service is nice. read more

This is actually a 4.5. The burger we chose was one that had swish cheese, caramelized onions and sautéed mushrooms. We usually split a thing like this when traveling because I'm a very light eater and we were on our way home an hour away. The burger, when finally done was on a soft bun, and the meat was really good . It was sitting on a piece of iceberg lettuce, well seasoned , but missing the onions. Because it took so long , the lady gave him a free beer. So I guess you must remind them about the onions. In the first picture I saw several months ago it looked fantastic. I will give them another chance. This is a VERY busy place. read more

I truly believe that the best food in the entire world comes from the small sister-communities where I grew up. I bit into my first Al Burger when I was a wee tiny Fosterling. In the 1980's, my mom would take me over to the Al's Club in Smithers and I would gorge my little belly on half of the most delicious sandwich on the planet. Barely in kindergarten, I was too small to eat the whole thing! In the far back of the Al's Club, there was a big screen television. I loved to sit back and munch on that lip-smacking feast, which was the size of my head, and watch Fraggle Rock. How cool is that childhood memory? I know you are at least a little bit jealous. The Al Burger has become a legend, with many versions throughout the years. Two of my all-time favorites, Benny's and Lopez's, have sadly come and gone. Dogs on the Run had a tasty mini-version until they closed their doors, as well. Currently, you can grab an Al Burger from The Downtowner in Ripley (owned by someone who also grew up in the area) and Burger Carte in Smithers. For those of you who've never had the opportunity to taste a piece of heaven, this beauty is loaded with pepperoni, salami, ham, cheese, pickles, onions, mustard and topped with a secret recipe sauce. Decades later, the buns are still as big as my head. Try it. You'll love it. And then, come back to the UKV for a second time and grab the best calzone you'll ever eat in your life at Frank's Pizza in Montgomery. That's the honest truth! I recommend getting your belly full, visiting the falls, going fishing and taking a hike up the trail--just make a day of it. I grew up with "Almost Heaven" right outside my window. read more

Burger Carte goes back in my memory since I was a small child. Before I moved away to Utah. We would go get real West Virginia hot dogs with sweet coleslaw and or the special hamburger choices on the menu. If you want meat on your burger that looks like steak instead of that MCD WD crap sold at fast food places, then you need to eat here. If you like a steak house top notch burger this is the place. They also have more basic burgers. You have got to try this greasy spoon out. Homemade food your burger is actual meat like your own grill and not that fast food crap. Many options on menu. I like the local specials. There are excellent battered veggies too! This spring was a West Virginia specialty burger called the Ramp Aioli Burger, wow. Have been to many a steak house nationwide. They have nothing except seating and building over this historic food landmark on Midland Trail HWY 60. Als Burger if you like cold cuts it is a local favorite! HUGE! AL Falbo Burger the Godfather of Smithers Italian community. West Virginia has an extensive Italian community and history in the mines, metals, and mason backgrounds in Southern West Virginia. When you dine locally you will experience available Italian cuisine items and Southern West Virginia items. What you see in this beautiful edge of New River Gorge, Hawks Nest State Park, Gauley Bridge, Kanawha Falls State Park, Cathedral Falls, and the Hydro Power plant public area on New River is the river by Smithers wide for large boats soon becomes rapids and falls as you head upstream. Many people get food at Burger Carte then drive about ten minutes up HWY 60 to Kanawha Falls area or Glen Ferris to snack! Come as you are! Like to play slot machines? They have them too! Speed Limit 40 in this area. Great parking even for towing vehicles. Other side of hwy (side by Smithers and Kanawha River) also available for parking. read more

The burgers are fresh and high quality definitely not a franchise burger. The place is basic, has a side indoor area with slot machines. Parking on Hwy 60. Definitely varies time of day and night. Always worth going there. I have spoken to many people the new RAMP Burger with Aioli mayo based sauce was over the top delicious. They also have really good authentic West Virginia hot dogs a chili (not Mexican chili type) and sweet coleslaw. Delicious. If you crave cold cuts the AL Burger is the grand daddy of all that Smithers was when it was a booming fun town. The fried veggies in batter are excellent. Highly recommend. read more

This is our second time coming here and they messed up our food both times. This time they got half of our order right but they gave us MUSHROOMS instead of mozzarella sticks, their definition of a milkshake is soft-serve in a cup and by the time our food was fixed it was cold. The first time that we came here our fries and onion rings were burnt to a crisp but yet somehow also soggy the sandwiches were sloppy and hardly thrown together. 1star read more

A side of the road burger and shake shack, just a notch above a dive. I don't think I saw a single healthy thing on the menu, but then again I wasn't looking hard. I was there for a milkshake and the Dreamcicle did not disappoint! It was extremely thick, delicious, and lived up to its name. They make it straight from the cream whipped up in a blender, so it's real cream and not just soft serve stuff. The kids will love this place, hot dogs, corn dogs, burgers, and nuggets, and of course there's ice cream! We will stop here again on our way to the mountains. read more

Burger Carte - Lol what is a chicken chunk? - Hot Dogs Near Me - Smithers, West Virginia

Loved the burgers! Fresh ingredients & a good selection of appetizers. Cheap prices as well. Definitely worth stopping in. I would easily give this 5 stars if we were able to sit at a table to eat but the two picnic tables were taken so we ate in the car. Will definitely go back. read more

Great food ! The chipotle jalapeño burger is fantastic & their deep fried pickles are yummy too. Definitely recommend trying.

We stopped here on the way back from visiting Cathedral Falls. It really hit the spot! Friendly staff and very tasty food for a great price

A must-stop Roadside drive in on route 60! The menu offers a variety of fast-food staples; burgers, milkshakes, twists (their version of a DQ Blizzard), and West Virginia chili dogs. My recommendation is a double bacon cheeseburger with fries and a milkshake or a trio of hotdogs (chili-slaw dog, pretzel dog, and corn dog) for a truly authentic West Virginia experience. read more

Burger Carte - Fries, cheeseburger (fresh- Not a frozen patty!), and chili-slaw hotdog! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Smithers, West Virginia

Nostalgic roadside burger joint with a hefty menu full of good stuff: shakes, burgers, dogs, fries and various other sandwiches, etc. This place is an institution in the Upper Kanawha Valley and would fit right in on an episode of Diners, Drive-In's, and Dives. If you're heading up Route 60, stop in and get a pull off this greasy spoon. It's a tasty trip down memory lane. read more

Delicious! I ordered pulled pork nachos- outstanding! Freshly made chips- not that crap out of a bag. Burgers are also delicious!

Ordered food and told to pick up in half hour. Arrive to the restaurant and no one is social distancing. The employees weren't using gloves and the order was incorrect. I ordered close to $40 in food and then the cook tried to argue with me. Arrive home and the food was cold, missing sauces, and had to go check again for more food missing. Food was okay, super horrible service. read more

Just ate here for the first time. Absolutely delicious. Quality beef on hamburgers. Not fast food even though service was quick and on point. Awesome experience. Plus they have the ice we love and yummy milkshakes!!!! read more

The Burger Cart is a UKV institution and has been around for as long as I can remember. Simple fare, that has good prices and will leave you feeling nostalgic. Here are my favorite menu items: Hot Bologna, Footlong Hot dog with everything, and the Big Gene Burger. BC's Slaw is second to none, and overall their food is delicious. It's a great quick lunch spot that is mainly used for take-out. There are a few seats inside and outside, but most people seem to grab and go. Burger Cart is worth a trip if you find yourself cruising down Route 60. read more

Ordered online. Two hotdogs with slaw only. Marked the drop down menu for slaw and wrote slaw only in the space provided for special instructions. I received 2 tough hotdogs on dried out buns. Also cold grease soaked fries. They charged 1.50 convenience fee. They should pay me for this slop read more

Little hidden gem. Worth the wait if your passing thru or live near. Hamburgers, hotdogs, milkshakes and much more. Food is made to order, and location has ez access. read more

One of my friends told me about this place. You don't go there for atmosphere but for the comfort food. The place is rather small for sitting. I had the jalapeño burger and that was fantastic. It was better than 5Guys and cheaper. I will drive from Charleston again for that burger. read more

I have eaten here before and did not like it. If dry and greasy could go together in one sentence ,that would be the burgers at this place. Even after that ,I didnt write a review. Im not one to pass judgement of any kind. Until this morning. It is Sunday Aug 5 at 9:30 am. Burger Carte is closed. Myself and two good friends have been in Charleston with a loved one in hospice. We were hungry and stopped a tudors for breakfast. Got our food through the drive thru and went down to burger carte to eat. We went to the tables on the side,not right out front. A man came around the building and said " This aint no picnic area. " we initially thought he was joking because it seemed harsh. He followed up with " Im not joking, even squirted my feet and legs with a hose. He kicked us out of there. What were we hurting. Why was he so forceful and mean. I personally will not ever eat there and will tell everyone i know about my experience. He said we could come back when the gambling parlor opened. After a long night, i just wanted to eat. Thankfully taco bell/subway across the road let us in to eat. This business man needs a lesson on how to be human. read more

Great place for a quick meal when passing through Smithers WV. The Carte Wheel is one of my favorites.

Certainly the best double cheese burger I have eaten. All done on demand. Not frozen. It's situated in a perfect spot to enjoy the sunset. Worth stopping on the way to Charleston. read more

Always a good meal. No matter if you want a hot dog, or just some onion rings, it's always great food.

I got a milkshake and it was pretty good. Seems like the burgers would be pretty good but we only ate ice cream. For the area seems like the best place around. read more

Went here as a child. Al Burgers are a local staple. Burger Carte was also known for their Cart Wheel sandwiches and hot and fried bologna sandwiches. Went back recently and got a fish dinner for my boyfriend which he loved, and i got of course the hot bologna sandwich with cheese and lettuce added to the already delicious special sauce. Better than I remember. They have many blizzard type and icee desserts and lots of sides in addition to burgers. read more

A Smither's landmark. Been there forever and served everyone in that valley at least once. Al's burger....mmmmmmm. Dogs are good too.

When I was a kid (40 years ago), my family used to go to this joint for fried chicken after church on Sundays. It has a new owner and there's no fried chicken on the menu, but I enjoyed a hot dog with chili, slaw, onion and mustard, along with piping hot French fries. Tasty!
