Stopped in for a sweet treat and it was absolutely delicious. It was just so messy and melted so fast. Maybe it was the dip? I got the swirl dip with cherry dip and I'll be back for more. I'll just have it there and maybe get a cup to be safe. read more

Love the balance of the favor of the Vanilla milkshake. The food is also good. Sometimes the hotdogs can be cold inside the bun. BUT just tell them and they will make it over for you. read more

This is a great place for that classic diner food you're craving! We always get a good hamburger or hotdog here paired with fries and fishing with creamy soft serve ice cream. We really go here for classic chocolate vanilla swirl combo! I think the patties are a little thin on the hamburgers so I always get a double! They do have a drive thru option, however we haven't utilized that before! Prices are cheaper so great for taking the kids. There is both indoor and outdoor seating as well. Service is friendly, you order at the counter and then take it back to your table. The ambiance is diner quality, laid back! read more

I hate to even give one star because that's being generous, which is something chard doesn't do. I have been consistently pissed off every time I go there in the past year, always missing something, or the food d have topping. The grilled cheese even was missing mayonnaise for my kids the order twice. it has 1 topping. how can you miss that. but our food is wrong too. so I've quit ordering food from there and we figured we'd still go for the ice cream. but now that's even gone wrong. I ordered soft serve in a cup, the cheapskates now use that awful cheap stuff that is water based and no taste of cream detected, I could taste the little use crystals. we said we would never be back. 6 months have passed, we wanted a banana split and said let's give it one more try. when they handed it to me, I could see it swimming in water, and water is all I tasted, i asked them for another and asked for a remake, same thing happened. I tried to eat it and couldn't because water does not belong in ice cream. the strawberry syrup is not syrup, it's cheap soggy strawberry in water, the chocolate was gross, i tasted like chocolate syrup mixed with water, and the list goes on. I have never thought I could taste ice cream and say ewe that's gross. but my husband did too when he tried it. this place is charging to much anyway but now they have switched to cheap ingredients that nobody would eat for free. they upchsrge ridiculous for topping on burgers as well. so this is a farewell letter . never again. congratulations chars you are what's wrong with America today. greedy. you won't be herr much longer and you don't deserve to be. read more

I was looking for a quick bite on the way home, and stopped in at Chars because I have not been there in quite a while. I like to try new things, so I picked up a super dog. First impressions, it's pretty big. I asked the girl what was in it and she said it was an all beef hotdog with everything on it. That pretty much sums it up. I picked up four napkins on my way out and then went to the truck to take a picture. My Second mistake was trying to eat the last half while I was driving. If You didn't catch that, my first mistake was only picking up four napkins. Now I'll be fair and say these are the old-school napkins., shot glass napkins, you could say. They just don't have enough coverage by themselves. However many napkins you picked up, you'll need to at least double it in order to not be sticky and you're done. Now second mistake... don't try this at home, my truck smells like hotdog and I'm pretty sure there is an oil slick on the steering wheel. Despite all of that, I've come away pleased. Some times you have to get dirty to have a little fun. Way to go Chars! read more

Char's Hamburgers - Super dog - Burgers Near Me - Lexington, North Carolina

Been coming here for over 30 years. It was the place to go when cruising Main Street to get some ice cream or a safe place for a first date. Never ordered anything besides hot dog, Charburger, fries, hot fudge sundae or a hot fudge cake. So, I can't comment on any other food besides that, which has always been consistent. Staff has always been 90-95% teenagers but have always been nice to us. read more

Loved the delicious Char burgers (shredded lettuce, mayo, ketchup, chopped fresh onions, tomatoes, pickles) and perfectly made fries that are crispy on the outside and soft in the inside! Can't wait to come back and try the footlong hot dogs. This was an awesome find!!! read more

Great food and service, can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Great cheeseburgers and ice cream.

Great food! Just wish portions were bigger. Footlong is great along with onion rings and a tea!

We stopped in during the bbq festival. It was so busy, but the folks at Char's know how to move a line!. They were hopping and the food came out fast and hot. The burgers were delicious and oh, so sloppy. The fries and onion rings were perfectly crispy. Highly recommend especially during the festival if you are looking for something other than pulled pork. read more

Chard is a frosty type hamburger stop located in downtown old town. I had a Char burger and an order of fries plus a bowl of home style beef soup. Everything was very good. The soup was fresh and tasty. The burger had plenty of veggies, which I like, and the French fries were some of the best frosty fries I have ever had.. the foot long hot dog was really good, too. Bathrooms were clean, but not recently updated. Staff were very friendly. read more

Char's Hamburgers - Outside - Burgers Near Me - Lexington, North Carolina

1/4 pound burger was probably a big deal when the doors opened here, still not too bad though. Pressed thin and fills the bun as it tries to stain my shirt. Comes topped with shredded lettuce, mayo, ketchup, and some pickles. Fries are hot and crisp but probably not made to order as they cooled a little too quickly. The dining experience is medium-fun; not a simulated retro-burger joint but a genuinely dated small town burger snack shack. The furnishings, counter, and kitchen setup nod to a simpler time and place. I think that eating in helps make the whole thing work, get an order to go and you'll lose that whiff of nostalgia that hides all sins. Not exactly sure how there's one picture of kinda the dining room with almost twenty reviews wrote (in my defense there were a dozen or so people scattered about and I try not to capture too many unknown faces. maybe next time I'm in town) read more

Char's Hamburgers - CharBurger opened up - lot of lettuce in there - orange drink is mostly off screen - Burgers Near Me - Lexington, North Carolina

Great food. Great place to take the family. Most of the staff are very friendly. It's Christian owned and they play great Christian music.

Service is awful, they just stare until you order, no greeting, nothing. Asked for a bubble gum shaved ice, they give us blue raspberry. Basically told us it was bubble gum, made them replace it. Gave the exact same thing. And proceeding to make snide comments behind the counter. Nothing but teenagers operating this place. Will not be back. read more

I've been going to Char's at least once a week for 17 years. The last two times I have went they have gotten my order incorrect at the drive-through when I get to the window the girls are too busy chitchatting instead of doing their job to make sure the orders are correct. Also, the girl taking the order is talking while placing the orders, so she doesn't hear what the customer orders. Good help is hard to find these days. read more

It is such a treat to go to Char's and get ice cream or one of their great burgers or hotdogs! We are always treated with hospitality and kindness! read more

Great food and ice cream with a family atmosphere.They have added items to there menu . A great place to take the children or grandchildren for a great selection of ice cream and eat outside and watch the cars on classic car cruise night read more

The spicy chicken sandwich is amazing. I got a the special but instead of fries I got onion rings and a strawberry banana milkshake extra thick. read more

The food was meh the fries had a great crunch but awful taste the burger was okay patty was super small and it had hair in it the ice cream had a weird texture and also had hair in it the drinks where all not carbenated I would much rather have eaten the Arby's next door read more

Solid, if not spectacular, burgers and hot dogs. This place has been around for a while, and was at one point part of a small regional "chain". There is a location of the same name in Winston that is as bad a fast food restaurant as I've ever been in, but that's another review. They do good work here - dog is nice, if not world class; burger is good as well. Fries are not bad, service is good, place is clean and bright. read more

Just your traditional burger joint with milkshakes and dipped cones! So good! Definitely something the kids will enjoy and good for lunch! The service is fast and polite. Chars has been here for a while and I can see why. Also, if you want to be able to support local businesses and eat good; Chars is the place to go! read more

When someone comes in and orders a hot dog with extra chili, you should give them extra chili. When I came to your establishment (note past tense), I would order the same thing I order at other places that serve hot dogs. EXTRA CHILI. However, you people put LESS CHILI than any other place. Rather, you put LESS CHILI on a hot dog ordered with EXTRA CHILI than other places normal chili dogs. That pretty much sucks... And is why I never go there. Oh yeah, your "Shaved Ice" is nothing but a sno-cone. You obviously do not know the difference. Drive down to Granite Quarry and get a shaved ice at Sno-Biz and see what a REAL SHAVED ICE looks like... read more

Love their hot dogs, french fries, and chocolate milkshakes! Never had a burger there, only their delicious hotdogs! My husband and I drive from Arcadia to Lexington once a week to get them. Order outside and eat it in the car! read more

Chars is by far my favorite hotdog place to go to. The prices are awesome! For instance I love there footlong hotdog and fries meal. It is only $5.50. They have such a large selection of ice cream too! Shakes, sundaes, cones, etc! The food is made fast but fresh and delicious! read more

Total crap. Terrible quality hot dogs. They were soggy and tasteless, worse yet almost room temperature so I asked for a hotter one and it wasn't any warmer... frankly they didn't care. Place needs a deep cleaning too read more

chars has very good food and my wife and i eat there atleast once a week.but yesterday we walked out before placing an order.for the third visit in a row every table in the resturant was dirty,and i am tired of having to clean a table to sit down at to eat.there is absolutely no reason for this.i hope they get this figured out because i know of atleast 2 more couples who done the same thing.i like to support local bussiness and will continue to do so.but the manager at chars needs to get this issue ironed out. read more

the manger was very rude, came back to our table and my grandmother found hair in her food went to the cashier, and showed her the hair in the food and said their is nobody with that color of hair. pretty bad customer service. read more

Quick service, friendly staff. Charburger was a lightly greasy burger bite after bite. Just what I want and expect from a fast burger in the south. Patty was thin, well done and fit the bun, wasn't a small one in a huge bun like some places. Old fashioned and a little outdated eating area with some spills that haven't been cleaned up led to a loss of a couple stars, the fact that it hasn't changed much since I was growing up brought one back. Overall, everything is as I recall, and their shakes are pretty good. read more

Char's Hamburgers - Huge Charburger with all the fixins. (minus a couple bites.) - Burgers Near Me - Lexington, North Carolina

Went for the first time in many years although I live right here in town. We wanted some ice cream. I ordered, was charged for, and paid for strawberry shortcake with ice cream. I didn't get the ice cream, although again I was charged for it. It's all to go and packaged. I didn't know any better and I believe they took advantage of that. I would have given this experience one star, but the cake was very good anyway. I just hate the fact that they knowingly ripped me off. read more

This is the smallest and most disappointing burger I've ever had. Unsatisfied, I drove all the way back for two missing fries and a burger missing jalapeños. If you take anything back they will give you the same food back with the missing ingredient on it. I won't be eating here again. They can't even make a decent burger. read more

Highly disappointed. Did not see one staff member wearing a mask. Burger was burned. Fries tasted like the oil was very old. Tables were filthy. Nothing but high school aged children behind the counter that were more worried about socializing with each other than working. My drink was wrong and was not given a spoon for my ice cream cup. read more

Bland food overall. Filled with townies who just don't have any other opinions. Burger was dry and little flame grilled taste. Bun was smashed and lifeless. Fries were good. Their table ketsup is nasty. Buy Heinz! Shake was just average, little chocolate flavor. Inside is old but have something to be said for longevity. read more

My family & I go to Chars quite frequently. We've ALWAYS had amazing food & service. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for quality food at reasonable prices! read more

Char's has been around for a LONG time! It's a local restaurant known for that char grilled flavor in their food. I go for the Ice Cream! It's the only place I can find Hershey's Black Cherry Ice Cream! A small cone(2 scoops) is a little over a buck so you can't go wrong. As a local, i'm not a huge fan of the food. Sometimes I do want that Char flavor so i'll head over. The Burgers and Hot Dogs are a big deal here. You can't really go wrong with either of them. The fries, I could do without. And if you go late enough, they'll re-dip them which makes them even worse. read more

This place is a must for lunch when passing through Lexington. Bacon cheeseburgers and milkshakes are suggested. If you're in Lexington and in the mood for something besides bbq this is the place. The restaurant has been here for a long time, they know what works. read more

We have been going to Char's since we were little. CharBurger Special comes with a huge burger, fries, and a large tea for around $6.50. Our family of four typically eats for under $25 here. Char's is a classic to this little town. They don't have the BEST burgers or hotdogs, but they are good. We really love their ice cream. I recommend. read more

The footlong were undercooked. And the drive thru girl with glasses was extremely rude. Not coming back anytime soon.

I always eat here when I come to Lexington. Great burgers and a change from all the fast food joints I live around. I always get dipped ice cream cones as well and they are messy but delicious. read more
