The menu is simple and clear. There's only outside seating and no restroom. That being said, the food was delicious! It's the greasy spoon burger, fries, corn dog, onion rings, and shakes you really want to eat. I ordered my burger plain, but they gave me one with everything. They apologized profusely and offered a free shake! This is an awesome lunch site! read more

We arrived to OBX before our house was ready, so we decided find a place for lunch. We decided to try Dune Burger. The burgers were delicious along with the onion rings. When we went, there was a sign stating no shakes. We placed our order at the window and waited for our food to be cooked to order. The parking lot is small. They have plenty of picnic tables to enjoy your meal outside. read more

We had been out and decided to stop by here to give it a try. We got burgers, fries, and onion rings. The cashier was super nice and laid back. When we got the order we were missing onion rings but apparently he forgot to write them down. So we went back to the other window and ordered them. They were okay super fried and stuck together so I wish we didn't buy them. The first batch of fries were hard and cold. When we ordered the onion rings, we added more fries without tasting the others yet. The second batch was a little warmer. The burger was a overpriced burger. It was fine. I wouldn't not return. The obx is filled with such great places and this just isn't one of them. I tried to hope for the best since I did read reviews before hand. They were correct. It is next to a kids playground so I assumed maybe that is how they're open? Families being hungry and this place is next door. My husband enjoyed his burger. It wasn't bad but for over $40 for 2 drinks, 3 burgers, 2 fries, and onion rings.. not worth it at all. read more

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere . We have been waiting for this place to open. We never catch it when it is open. We came to OBX one week prior to Memorial Day weekend. Tried the double dune burger and hotdog with chili cheese, onion, and slaw. Also had two corndogs. Everything was excellent. read more

Dune Burger - Outside - Burgers Near Me - Nags Head, North Carolina

Great friendly service and the burgers were incredibly delicious. We had a dune burger and a dune burger with cheese. The burger was juicy and loaded with toppings. Also loved how soft the bun was. The fries were shoestring size and tasted good as well. Everything came out hot and fresh. Best burger I have had on the beach for sure. read more

Does not disappoint! This place is all you can expect from a greasy delicious cheesy burger joint! Man these burgers are yummy. It's become our family's official kick off vacation spot every year. Now they could've hit that 4th star if it wasn't for the "new fries". They are a miss for us. More like potato sticks now. You should check them out! read more

A must stop in Nags Head. This ain't McDonald's, fresh beaf never frozen with crisp lettuce and local tomatoes. Classic yellow mustard. A burger that tastes like a burger. read more

I would have included a picture but we demolished our food way to fast. Nice people, very local vibe. We ordered 3 dune burgers, onion rings and fries. Only negative was that the fries were really small for the price but everything was absolutely amazing! Will come back! read more

My brother in-law ate here over 10 years ago, but it was good enough that he really wanted to go back. As a burger junkie, he definitely didn't need to twist my arm. Now, this is a burger stand, so the entire review should be viewed through that lens. Food (5/5): I got the double dune burger and fries, and it was exactly what I wanted from a burger stand. The bun held up, which is important when you're eating a double patty burger. I could taste all the standard condiments, but nothing was overpowering. The patties were tasty; I'd compare them to something like Five Guys, as they were better quality than your average fast food place. Service (4.5/5): The guy who took my order was very polite and accomodating. They did mess up my order and my brother in-laws but they were quick to fix it. Mistakes happen and they made it right. There was a steady stream of customers, so that's understandable. They didn't have straws or forks readily accessible so I had to ask, but again, they were accommodating. We got our food 5 minutes after ordering it, which I thought was extremely fast. Everything was cooked to order, so no issues there. Price (5/5): For a popular vacation destination, the prices were very reasonable. For a family of 6 (2 adults and 4 kids) we purchased a meal for everyone and it barely topped $30. My brother in-law and my sister bought their meals for around $20. Overall, a great burger experience, perfect for a quick lunch while vacationing in the OBX! read more

Great burgers!! Corn dogs very good too. Plenty of places to sit and park. We will be back.

Saw mixed reviews but decided to take a chance. Got the double dune burger with cheese. Very juicy and tasty. 10/10 would recommend. Like five guys but better. My girlfriend got a burger with pickles and ranch. They forgot the pickles but she still liked it. read more

Still the worst burger in OBX. They simply can't get their act together. For decades this place has continued to exist and they still can't figure out how to make a burger that doesn't taste like cardboard. It's really not that hard to adequate food to serve but our latest experience was two burgers that we literally threw away after one bite. Beware. Spend your money somewhere else. read more

Was out that way on vacation and am glad I tried it out. The food was absolutely fantastic!

The best burger, hands down. It's meaty, greasy, cheesy excellence on a bun. Made fresh to order, so if their busy it takes some time, but soooo worth it. Perfect hangover food. I shall return! read more

Ordered two burgers, neither one was what we ordered. One of the buns had mold on it, no less! The cook was rude to us, and the food was ridiculously expensive. Do NOT recommend. Go elsewhere, plenty of better and cheaper options here. read more

Disappointed again. Second year in a row they charged for a Dune Burger ($8.37 plus tip) and gave me a Jr. Dune Burger. I specifically asked why they no longer have juniors on the menu, covid, of course, but got one anyway. Lol. A few days ago my "dune burger" had white American cheese on it? Asked for extra pickles had 2 thick cut pickles on it. Had 2 chunks of grisly fat so big I spat them out. Just not the same or very good. French fries were very, very well done. read more

So slow give your self 1 hr to get your food Does not have that much business ,should able to get your food out in 20 minutes top. The food has gone down hill Use to be the best burger on the beach Not anymore With only a walk up window I seen more people walk away after being told 45 minutes wait for food And it not like they have a big menu It sucks when you try to support local businesses and they turn you away And then if you do wait you leave think could have gone to McDonald's Got by cheaper and better food read more

Placed an order for 4 burgers, 4 fries, 1 hot dog, and 1 bbq sandwich. We get the order and it was short the hot dog. Guy says "sorry, we are understaffed" I said "well we paid for it, don't you think it might be a good idea to at least give us our money back for it??" And he acted like it was a foreign concept. How dumb do you have to be to not get the concept of paying for an item but not getting it and asking for your money back? Dune Burgers = Don't Burgers. Order placed 7/18 at approx 5:35pm if you want to identify the order taker. Edit: On what planet does it seem reasonable that just because you're shorthanded that you should charge someone for an item that you didn't deliver? read more

Went back this past season and was pleasantly surprised to find they have a pretty decent veggie burger option for anyone who doesn't eat meat. I still miss the bacon cheeseburger but their veggie burger is a solid choice. read more

horrible service, food is fine I guess, they forget your food even when you ask for it 3 times

It's a burger. But a damn good one. Some things just need to stay simple, your biggest option is a single or double. GET ONE

This place is super convenient, and the food is good. I would give it 5 stars but I didn't like how they use such a large cut on the veggies for the burger toppings. I think that this really matters when building a burger. I see the complaints on price and those aren't too concerning - food is expensive these days so I totally get it. read more

It was the first day of the season. They were out of bacon, root beer, lids for cups, junior burgers and bottled water. Most of our orders were not correct, my brother's family order two dune doubles but received singles. My friends family's cheese fries and onion rings were ommitted. The burger was average. The fries were tasty. They are thin cut like McDonald fries, with some seasoning. It was a huge disappointment. read more

I honestly love this place so much! I used to come here every summer with my dad when i was a kid. A few months ago my dad passed away, so coming here today really reminded me of him. I love how i haven't been here in over 10 years and everything still tastes the same! The burgers are very greasy but so insanely delicious! Dune burger is definitely one of my favorite things about coming to Nags head! Thank you for the delicious food and memories read more

Dune Burger - Double dune burger with cheese and a side of fries! So good! - Burgers Near Me - Nags Head, North Carolina

Yes, the place is super small and there's typically a decent line waiting if you're going during a popular time (noon or 1 pm) and it sucks to wait in a long line outside with the sun beating down on you. But, in my opinion, it is so worth it! I didn't experience the poor customer service as past reviewers have noticed; the order came up pretty fast, everything was the way it should be, and the people were nice enough (I mean there wasn't a long conversation to be had there- I ordered the food, paid, said thank you, and waited)! They even make it easy for you and announce your order # over a loudspeaker so you can sit in the car (with its beautiful A/C) or hold one of their (very few) nearby tables to wait for the food. During our visit, we got the cheeseburger, chili cheese dog, and the BBQ sandwich. A little sampler platter, if you would, because we had never been there! My boyfriend LOVED the BBQ sandwich- he loves vinegar type BBQ! The cheeseburger was EXCELLENT with a little bit of char on the edges which I love along with a good supply of toppings. The chili dog was just magical and straight to the point. No-beans chili that was warm and a teeny but spicy mixed with cheese on a standard hotdog. The hotdog bun also held up to the thick toppings, a plus! I can't believe I am raving about a shack serving semi-greasy food at a rather high-end beach destination but I'm telling you this food was great! I will definitely be back next time I vacation in OBX, rain OR shine!! read more

This place should be called "Don't Bother," as in don't bother getting burgers here. We were looking for a quick in-and-out place where we could grab some food for ourselves and our kid to eat in our car. We ordered 3 burgers, a N.C. BBQ sandwich, 4 fries and drinks. There was a steady stream of customers, but not especially busy by any means. With this said, it took 25 minutes to get our order...and they messed up two sandwiches. When I went back up, I was told they were out of Cole slaw...which would have been nice to know at Any Point prior to giving me my order. When I reminded them I ordered a plain burger and not two Dune burgers, the kid working the counter told me they were the same thing... [side eye] "Whaaa?? So that means the Dune burger, hamburger and cheeseburger listed on your menu are all the same?" I offered to pay for another plain hamburger, but they said it was taken care of because they made the mistake. So I waited...and waited...and waited...for another 20 minutes! During which time another person I inquired about their order and was told they forgot to put it up on the slide but that they would make it now...*facepalm* After asking when the plain burger would be ready, the kid at the pick up window obviously had no clue about about it (he was the one who said they were "On it!" 20 minutes before), but stammered it was currently being made. So we finally just left. COVID-19 Note: The teenager taking the orders was wearing a mask. However, the cook handing out the food talking to customers, through the open window without a shield, wasn't wearing a mask. Not that he had one and it was pulled down...No mask on his face-what so ever for the 45 minutes we were there. Seriously, I ever recall having such shoddy service. And considering the requirements to wear a mask being enforced for restaurants and shopping, it's not right for food establishment employees to not be wearing them while serving customers. read more

Dune Burger is across the street from Jennette's Pier, so it's easily walking distance if you're spending the day on the pier or beach. We got two dune burgers w/ cheese, two orders of fries, and two drinks which totaled up to $17.51. I felt like that was a little steep, but I did enjoy the food. While the food is good, the service was not. I was under the impression that they opened at 10am because of hours I found posted online. When I walked up to the window a couple minutes after 10, the lady behind the glass told me they would be opening at 11. Still not sure what their actual business hours are. We head back to the beach still hungry and wait another hour. My girlfriend went back to get the food while I stayed on the beach. She walked up to the "Pick-up Window" by mistake, so they hit the window and motioned for her to go down to the "Order Here" window and was greeted with "What do you want?" The only other words spoken to here were "$17.51." She said she felt like she was bothering them. read more

I'm might not drive all the way here from Greensboro to get a hot dog, but throw in their cheeseburger & FFs, and I just might. This place is a simple as it gets, and the food has never disappointed - both their Cheeseburger and Chili Dog are in my top 5, and have been for well over 25 years. They are just open on weekends in the off season now, but little else has changed. We'll be back. read more

YES. IT IS A GOOD BURGER FOR SURE. People who waited on us were friendly, the burger was fine (didn't seem like a frozen patty for sure..seemed freshly made....the ground beef originally could have been frozen, but who knows.... roll super soft, toppings all seemed fresh). It isn't cheap by any means. You're in a touristy area. It is cool being able to walk from the beach to get a bite at a very non assuming place on a nice summer day. I'd go again...but bring money. read more

We kind of dedicated our September 2011 OBX trip to places like this or barbecue for lunch and to more seafood and higher end for dinner. We started at Dune Burger for chili dogs and burgers. Dune Burger is a classic beach drive-in, walk-up. Both the chili dog and the hamburgers were good solid items that I would have again. I think we decided we liked the burgers a little better. The chili appeared to be house made with a lot of meat, good flavor and a little heat. The dog itself was fairly ordinary and a better one would enhance the overall chili dog. I always get slaw on them when I can. The style of slaw here was not my favorite. It was very coarse and does not work well on the sandwiches. I would probably drop the slaw next time. The burger was also very good (actually better) with the same toppings. The regular burger is very large so be aware that there is a smaller size for smaller appetites. It is a fun, authentic place for drive-in food. read more

I know it was early in the season, but they did not have their act together. The girl working the window might have been on her first day. I'm not sure, but she really didn't seem to know the menu. Most people in our party ordered ice cream, but had to get refunds or change our orders because the machine was broken, and they didn't know that before we paid. The fries were okay, nothing great, but the burger was worth the trip. Basically, it's an easy stop on the beach road, but it is just a simple drive-up. Don't expect too much. read more

Burger was okay. Wasn't worth the 50 minute wait. Tons of business turned away during our time there. Most people didn't want to wait the quoted 45 minute wait time for a burger. read more

While we waited they got 3 orders wrong. I checked the bag for fries and 2 burgers before we walked back to the hotel. We ordered and paid for doubles, but both were singles. Tasted ok, but we only got 1/2 of what we paid for. Sucks. We were looking forward to trying some of their other stuff. Not now. read more

Best chicken sandwich on the beach!! Burgers are made fresh to order so it might take a minute but it's worth the wait. Locally owned and operated. Dune Burger has been around since I was a kid & a locals favorite. This is how we know it's summer when we can get out first Dune Burger! Check them out! read more

Dune Burger - Chicken Sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Nags Head, North Carolina

Place has gone down hill. Burgers used to be fresh now they use frozen beef patties. Yuck. Had terrible service today and even worse tasting food. Do yourself a favor and go to fatboyz instead. This place is trash. read more

Food was good. They messed up 2/3 of our burger orders. Saw them make our ice cream first, put it in the fridge. Received it half melted.

Barely ever open. No where to find their hours. Always a long wait when there is barely any customers. Earlier in the year they wouldn't serve us with out a mask when you order from outside. That should sum it all up. read more

This place pisses me off everytime I come. First off, I've been there about 10 times. Everytime regardless of how much or how little we got the food took 20 min plus to come out. When we got the milkshake it was not blended and there was just chunks of fruit on the bottom with ice cream put on top. The burgers take FOREVER to come out. They bascially only sell burgers and fries, though they still manage to take 20 min. A place like this, with a very small menu and little places to sit and wait for food is totally not worth going to as ontop of the long wait times, the food is expensive ( 7 dollars for a burger) and not very good just frozen burgers. Absolutly would not recommend. Will be going to fat boyz from now on because I can get my food in less then 20 minutes there. read more

Went here late at night the first night I arrived. Didn't really go in expecting much but the food turned out to be absolutely great. Service was nice and fast. The burgers were better than a lot of sit down restaurants I've been to, and this combined with the good prices and fast service as well as the great location near many vacation homes made it a really good place to eat at. read more
