    It had been awhile since we stop at this little burger joint in downtown Ellerbe, but we stopped in recently, and were not disappointed. Before the Hwy 74 ByPass went in, we'd come by this place each time went traveled down toward the Rockinghan/Hamlet/SC area., but now you have to come in several miles from the highway to get here - but worth the trip for a good burger and hot dog. Both are very, very good. Place gets kinda crazy at peak times, especially on Fridays when they run some great vaule specials. Not much to look at, but that's part of the charm of local places like this. Forget the FF, simply horrid ridges of distaste.

    Dixie Burger is a good place to stop in for an affordable meal if you happen to be in downtown Ellerbe. If you ask anyone from around Ellerbe where to grab dinner, there are really only three options: Dixie Burger, Denise's Diner, and Mama Nois. Your options are kind of limited, but with that being said, Dixie Burger is worth a stop. I ordered the Deluxe Cheeseburger all the way (coleslaw, onions, chili, and mustard) and then I also got an order of chili cheese fries on the side. The burger itself was very good. The bun was definitely buttered up and the meat was tender. The chili was a little above average and mixed well with the very sweet slaw that accompanied it. The fries were a different story. They were very soggy and there was only so much that the good chili could do to mask the lack of flavor. At Dixie Burger you order up at the cash register and they bring you your food out to the table. The biggest plus at Dixie Burger, in my opinion, is the service and the staff working there. Everyone was very friendly and the food came out quickly and with a smile. We got in there on a Friday at a little after 7:30 and they close at 8:00. Some restaurant workers/owners give you the stank eye when you walk in that close to closing time. This was not the case at Dixie Burger. We specifically asked when they closed and they informed us that it was 8:00 but that we had plenty of time and that there was no rush. You've got to love the speed of small town NC. The place itself was clean, but the bathrooms which were located outside of the building could have used a scrub. This is a very small burger joint with just a handful of tables, but they set it up so that it didn't seem cramped. Also, at some of these places clouds of grease smoke fill the air, but Dixie Burger did a good job of circulating that elsewhere. With a place with Dixie in the name, you hope for some good Sweet Tea, but unfortunately there was only generic tea from a dispenser (Lipton I believe). May as well skip it and get a coke. The small town atmosphere of this burger joint and the friendly service coupled with the solid burger make this place worth trying if you are in downtown Ellerbe.

    Nice place to stop for a quick bite. You have to get a key for the bathrooms which are on the side of the building, which doesn't strike anyone's fancy. They were decently clean...but I changed my baby in the car. The hot dog I had was DE-LICIOUS. My husband had a burger and said it was way better than fast food chain burger.

    Cheeseburger was excellent, and the steak wrap was great too, served warm like a panini. Kind, helpful, prompt service.

    Asked for my crinkle fries to be extra crispy and they were perfectly cooked to go along with the soft bun burger.

    The best handmade , not frozen , burgers in North Carolina. I was visiting my sister and niece in…read moreLaurinburg for a week in March and wanted a good local burger. I read the great reviews of this place online , so I had to come see for myself. It's a small brick building on the side of Andrew Jackson Hwy in Laurel Hill. Small parking lot with plenty of business. They have a small indoor dining area that is a bar top facing the windows. A couple of picnic tables outside , which is where I ate mine. I got the Double Cheeseburger with Crinkle Cut Fries and a can of Pepsi. The burger patties were nice and thick and juicy. Hot and fresh tasting with lettuce and tomato. If you want a Traditional North Carolina Slaw Burger they can do that too. The Crinkle Cut Fries were hot , fresh , and tasty. I prefer Crinkle Cut or Steak Cut Fries , so this was a plus. The employees were also nice. They have so much other food to choose from. Bbq Pork Sandwiches , Burgers , Hot Dogs , Sausage Dogs , Corn Dogs , Fried Bologna Sandwich , Pimento Cheese Sandwich , Chicken Wings , Hamburger Steak Plate , Chicken Salad , Chicken Sandwich , Fried Okra , Fries , Onion Rings , Baked Beans , Green Beans , Slaw , and Mashed Potatoes , and more. So don't pass by this place on the way to the beach or elsewhere. Make sure to stop and get you some good ole Carolina Food made with Love.

    This place is a hole in the wall burger joint that focuses on three things. Burgers, hotdogs and…read morefries. Good luck finding a seat if you don't get there at opening or at closing because it is PACKED with a line out the door otherwise. It's got a counter with seats and a handful of booths giving it that "get in and get out" vibe. I saw their name listed on a Top 10 BEST Cheeseburgers of North Carolina list and was told by a native in Siler City to go here for the best cheeseburgers so I decided to give them a try. My go to cheeseburger order is always cheese, pickles onions and mustard but they don't have pickles so I got a cheeseburger with Ket, Mus, Mayo, lettuce, tomato and onion. It was DELICIOUS! So juicy and flavorful. They roll and pat out each burger to order, steam the buns, and the fries come out hot and crispy. Their tea is really good too. Service was friendly and knowledgeable about their product and origin of beef. But be prepared to wait. It's a BUSY little place, but well worth the wait. I highly recommend for the best cheeseburger around.

    Slinging burgers in a tiny place like Siler City since the 1940s?! Well you gotta be doing…read moresomething right to achieve community institution status like that, and I finally had the good fortune to be in the area of this spot during their limited hours... so I had to stop in. Johnson's doesn't look like it has changed much since it first came to be. Fairly tiny on the inside, and showing a lot of wear on the outside, it's got the look and charm of a place that has spanned over 75 years of service. That said even though it is dated, the inside looked nice and clean to me. There is lunch counter seating, that if you are a tall individual, might be a tight fit for you, but the booths aren't going to be any better. So after jamming my knee into the wall under the counter, I achieved a fine degree of man-spread, and was reasonably OK after that. From my seat at the counter, I had a perfect view of their process and burgers sizzling on the flat-top grill. Each burger hits the hot top with a sizzle, is smashed down (but not quite to smashburger thin-ness), gets flipped, is adorned with a thick chunk of Velveeta cheese, and gets half a bun on top to let it steam up real good. The other half the bun is to the left, where a dedicated person is assembling all the toppings. When ready, they put the halves together, wrap it up, and send it your way. Fast and efficient, but all patties are 100% cooked to order. I also got a hot dog all the way, order of fries, and a fully sweet tea as they were out of unsweet. They were also out of pickles, and don't do grilled onions, negatives for me because I like my first try to be simple. grilled onions, pickles, burger sauce if available. They also charge extra for lettuce and tomato. I just went ahead and had my burger made the same way as my hot dog, all the way. It made for one hell of a mess, but it was delicious. I definitely enjoyed my meal, but to be honest, neither the burger or the hot dog would rank in my top 5 in the state. Doesn't really matter, as at the end of the day, I would certainly come back here because I am sure it's the best burger in the area, and given the amount of burgers and hot dogs I have eaten being "outside the top 5" doesn't mean you're doing poorly. Cash only, so come prepared, but definitely come!
