I've heard lots of people say how great the one in Raleigh is, so when we saw one in Benson we thought we'd give it a try. It looks new and is very clean inside. However, that's all they have going for them. The workers weren't friendly, the food wasn't that good for the price (we all got burgers) and they forgot to make our milkshakes. Also, they don't have a kid menu. read more

C'mon I-95 drivers!! Want a great Chargrilled burger and fast service? Make this a stop on your route through Benson NC. Loved the freshness and flavor of the food and the ability to watch my burger cook on the flamed grill though the dining room glass window. read more

Great value. For what it is, it is very good. Fast food that tastes fresh. Burger was very tasty, "actually tasted like a burger!" Pulled pork sandwich was above average. Fries were very crispy, but a bit too dried out for me (B+). Decor is franchise-y feeling, but very, very clean. Staff were pleasant enough. Music was pleasant - 1950s classic vocals. read more

This is the 4th time I have purchased food at this Chargrill and have been disappointed the last 2 times for one very simple reason. I do not understand why ONIONS are put on a burger when they are not ordered. I can not even rationalize how DICED onions can be mistaken for lettuce. How about you put onions on one side of the toppings and lettuce on the other. When I bite down on one bit of onion, the entire burger is ruined. The amount of money I alone have spent on SUB-PAR fast food is ridiculous. I thought CharGrill was a step up from Hard-ly's and CrapDonald's but I was wrong. Chargrill is no better. read more

I went through the drive thru for lunch today. The employees were so sweet and nice! Nothing but smiles there! Food was great and service was excellent! We will definitely be back. read more

It wasn't my most favorite burger in the world but for fast roadside food? My burger and fries were awesome. Hot, juicy, fresh fresh, assembled well ( I know you know what I mean), fries fresh, tasty, hot and crisp but not too crisp. They were cut nice, not dried out skinny Minnie's. Clean and nice fast working folks. Beats the other options on the closest 5 exits off 95 read more

Very tasty and the customer service was great. The decor is very old school 50's vibe. This store was very clean and organized. Tucked away from Benson main, but worth driving over the bridge. read more

Char-Grill - Benson - Burgers Near Me - Benson, North Carolina

Char Grill is just like the great food on Hillsborough Street near NCSU except there is air conditioned seating. They have the best hamburger (my choice is the junior) in the southeast bar none. Great milk shakes and apple turnovers just like the original! Service is fantastic with a smile and greeting! read more

Char-Grill - Benson - Photo of wall inside seating area. A reminder of the over 50 year history of the Grill. - Burgers Near Me - Benson, North Carolina

Ok I don't like chain places usually. But I think Burger King would have been better and probably cost less. We ordered Two BLTs and two jr steak burgers. Husband ordered his steak burger with just mayo tomato and mustard. So they gave him that and mine with nothing. They asked twice if we wanted mayo on the BLTs. We said yes both times. No mayo on the BLTs. Onion rings had no salt on them. Food was extremely bland and I would NOT return. read more

Food is always cooked correctly and the service is fast both in the drive thru and inside. Unlike most fast food chains, Char-Grill actually gets my order correct in the drive thru and doesn't forget items. The inside is clean and comfortable and the employees are friendly. Definitely the best choice for fast food in the Benson area. read more

Voted best burger in nc was the slogan.. well it was ok...im sure if they actually voted ...dont think you'd make it lol. They were ok they were pretty good in fact. Better than Wendy's or fast food service was no bueno not very caring bit worth it to say you tried it . read more

This was a nice change from the usual fast food. We stopped in for a burger and shake while also taking a bathroom break in the middle of a long drive to Virginia. The food was great except for the same old chopped iceberg lettuce served by all the other places. The Char-Grilled burgers really made a difference even though the bun and fixings were common place. The shake was great and the service was fantastic. The entire place including the restrooms were super clean. read more

The food is great. The staff are great. They appear to take Covid very serious. Always friendly and if they happen to make a mistake they correct it with no problem. read more

This place is relatively good for fast food. Everything had good flavor. It probably would have been four stars except the guy that took our order apparently didn't hear us say we wanted meals so we didn't get fries, my girlfriend went back and told him so she was charged for fries not the price difference. read more

Recommend! Staff very nice. Clean. And burger was very good for fast food. I will eat here again.

My wife and I are huge char grill fans and typically frequent the location on strickland near six forks! Today we were headed to Myrtle beach and needed a lunch stop - my wife wanted quick as in burgers. We decided on a national chain and then the exit sign says "Char Grill" !! Love love love the Benson store layout, no slips - no having to ask for salt, pepper, katchup etc... So my closing comment is - RENOVATE the remaining stores!! Much more personal interactions ordering at counter!! read more

This is extreme comfort food for anyone whose hungry. The burgers are cooked while you wait, not kept under a heat lamp for 3 days. Love their fries and milkshakes. read more

Really a great burger, fries and milkshake place conveniently located just off I-95. We split their 8 ounce Steak Burger (a big hamburger). You get your choice of toppings. The meat was tasty and quality. The fries were perfectly cooked. They were very accommodating of the little guy with us and mad him a special request grilled cheeses with bacon. read more

DELICIOUS! I couldn't believe how amazing everything tasted. Please try the chili cheese fries they were so good I never wanted them to end. Their burgers are so juicy and they fries are awesome! One thing to be careful is when you're driving in and out, there is a HUGE dip on the curb so go slowly so you don't hurt your vehicle. read more

We travel pretty regularly from the Washington DC area to Savannah and always try to time our travel so as to get to Benson around lunch time, we enjoy this little restaurant so much. The food is great, the service is friendly, and the place is always spotless. read more

Jules Winfield would say...mmmmm mmm this IS a TASTY Burger!. I Loved it. The burger and cheese was fast and fresh, fries with salt and malt vinegar were the best. I couldn't finish the sandwich so you get plenty on that bun. The counter staff was friendly and answered questions for us first timers and the entire place was clean. I don't get this way much but next time I do I will make sure I stop in. read more

I went in last night and had a fairly large order. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Not only was the food made quickly, but when we got home, everything was right and in the bag! They even went a step further and loaded all the bags in a box and walked it to my car for me. By far the best Char-Grill I've ever been to! read more

I have stopped in twice while visiting family in NC and the food is not up to par. The burger was dry and had no flavor, the fries were equally as bland. The original Hillsborough Street location in Raleigh is by far the best and this location does not even begin to compare. You need to up your game Benson....... read more

Very fast service. The food here is made fresh when you order and the staff is very well trained and courteous. You have to try the steak burger when you go. The milkshakes are also thick and delicious! read more

This place was really good. I had a chicken sandwich and I half expected it to be really dry but it wasn't. It was very moist and tasty. Fries were crispy but not overdone. I only give 4 stars because I thought the prices were a bit high for the amount of food you get. read more

Easy off/on I95 is why we stopped but will remember this place and will stop again!Stopped at 9:00 pm but it was well staffed, clean and our food was cooked to order. We could see them making it. Everyone was very friendly. Most importantly the food was delicious. We had double char burgers with cheese, bacon and"the works". Onion rings (real rings, not chopped onions), and fries. Highly recommend this to I 95 travelers. read more

Delicious traditional American fast food. The chargrill burgers were fabulous and fire grilled to order. Would stop here again for a burger fix. read more

We stopped here off of 95S...nice and clean little place. Counter staff was kind and knowledgeable of menu. We ordered the 8oz steak burger which was cooked just right! We made it a combo with French fries and sweet tea! All very good! Condiment bar was fresh and well stocked. We got our food to go which only took a few minutes and we were able to get back on the road quickly. It claims to be the best burger in NC...I haven't had another NC burger but this one was really good! read more

I have been to Char Grill Twice and I love it! I am not a burger person, but I have to say there are days where I inform my husband that I am craving a Char Grill Burger. The employees here are also great. read more

Whenever I want a burger around Benson, I go to Char-Grill. Might pay premium, but it's much better than the alternatives. The restaurant is clean and you're greeted by friendly faces. I highly recommend this place! read more

I wouldn't go as far to say it's THE BEST, but it's pretty damn good! Everything tasted fresh and the onion rings and French fries were perfectly done. Just watch out when you leave!!!!!! If you drive a car or lowered vehicle-go out the back way. The curb is about a 10" drop. Scraped the bottom of my car pretty badly. read more

Today was my first time of course because I'm from Maryland the staff is so sweet and this restaurant is very clean the bathroom even smells like a flower bouquet. The food was ok the onion rings are really good. The southern hospitality was something I'm not use to since most people up north are not were welcoming. I was impressed for a fast food restaurant! read more

This is an awesome hamburger joint!! Great stop on the way down 95. Recommend for a quick stop.

I was not satisfied although their service was good, I felt misled. The pictures they had of food was nothing like what we received. The burgers were on the expensive side and rather small. read more

Great food! Service is awesome! Everyone is always very friendly and the restaurant is always clean and comfortable.

Great Burgers and good service. Better than typical fast food burgers. I have stopped twice on way to the coast and I will stop again.
