So far the best hamburger in RDU and consistent quality, taste and service!…read more Venue: casual, burger joint. Full bar available in front if you want to watch sports game. High top and bar seat in the bar. Tables and booth seating in the restaurant. Food: ordered good ol' cheese burger which you can make your own (you can pick type of protein for the patty, veggies, cheese, sauce etc). Patty is cooked just like we asked- juicey and well flavored. Deviled egg was phenomenal- little rich and on the salty side but it only compliments their amber ale to chug. Another complimenting dish to the ale is definitely fried pickle. Portion is good=big. Oh, came here another time. Burger was good again. I ordered Philly cheese, which I loved the taste but the ground beef instead of shaved beef was not for me. Service: both times, the service was great. Fast and very attentive. Price: I think the price is reasonable if not, really great. $4 pint amber ale? It's a steal!

Ultimately, this was a generally terrible experience. The service was slow, the food was terrible,…read moreand I saw a health code violation. It took a while for the waitress to come over and take our order. The restaurant was not busy (other than our table there was only one other) and it took 10 minutes to be asked what we wanted to drink. Then it took another 10 minutes for the water to show up and to have our orders taken. I ordered the Bad Ass Burger with fries. The fries arrived cold and floppy. I let the waitress know the fries were cold and she graciously took then and had them remade. The second set, arrived hot and floppy...and were unseasoned. The burger itself was terrible. The meat patties were not seasoned and overcooked (ordered medium arrived well done). Ultimately, the food was just disappointing. Lastly, I saw one of the cooks vaping over the food.

The counter folks are extremely nice, and it appears that everything is prepared fresh. The burgers are good, nice maillard crust on the burgers which adds to the good flavor! Had the fried zucchini sticks and they were top-notch! The biggest caveat is: don't go there in a t-shirt and shorts, it's literally like eating in a walk-in freezer, it's so cold that it's uncomfortable. But definitely recommended for a quality burger!

The bacon was the texture of ready to eat/heat bacon which took away from the burger. Do I recommend? I wouldn't go out of my way for this unless I'm just riding by the restaurants. It was ok! The fires were hot and fresh but a bit too salty for me. I suggest ordering those without salt to control that yourself. Honestly, if I ever went back I'd just do a regular burger without the bacon and no fries . Although the fries were decent. I'm not a huge fan! The service was satisfactory here. Nothing to really call out!

Also the menu items have changed over the time, and not sure if it is for better, or worse. One thing I will say that has gone downhill is the service.

Maybe you will get better service when it is more crowded, and they have a sense of urgency, who knows. 2026-02 #578

CowBar is a great option if you are ever craving a burger in the North Hills area. The burgers are…read moremassive and very juicy filled with high quality ingredients. Service could be better, but it's not bad. Decor and the bar were very cool and well designed parts of the restaurant. We ordered the Alabama Slammer and Classic Cheeseburger with truffle fries. We received regular fries at first, but were able to get what we originally ordered (truffle fries) after talking to the servers. If you order the truffle fries, make sure to grab a fork or extra napkins (or both)! Eating them gets real messy. Overall, a nice, casual burger spot in Raleigh with great fries.

Located in the newer section of North Hills, CowBar is a more sophisticated rendition of their Morgan Street Food Hall location. Very similar with maybe a few extras, you order up front, get a number, self-service soft drinks and condiments in the back and wait for you eats. Pick up your meal at the counter and it's time to eat! I did their popular truffle burger with fries Italiano and OMG! The burger was amazingly tender, rich and delicious. Tender grilled beef, smoky Gouda cheese, caramelized onions and truffle flavoring throughout. The skin-on fries with shaved parm, rosemary and garlic made for the perfect side. While the bar is not open yet, it looks like CowBar North Hills will have some beers and drinks to go with your burger. Overall I am super happy with what I experienced at CowBar. While the food is a touch pricey, it's totally worth the money and a better option to dine here, versus a crowded, noisy spot. Enjoy, Raleigh. You may have the best burger in the Triangle with CowBar!

The staff was friendly, the ambiance had a classic diner feel with a modern twist, and the food was incredible. I got "The Textbook." I'm usually a thick-burger guy over a smash burger guy (and The Textbook is smash-style), but I was blown away. I may not be an overall smash burger guy, but at LaGana, I am. The yuca fries were not your normal French fry either. Thick, dense, and packed with flavor--these really rounded out the meal. It's a more expensive burger than a spot like Mojo's up the street, but you get what you pay for. It's a smaller restaurant, so I wouldn't go here with a large party expecting a big booth, but that's what takeout is for. I'm already planning when I can get back here to try the rest of the burgers.

THIS IS BETTER than thumbing through a thick menu with a hundred options and waiting an hour for your food. We got burgers and a salad to share and it slapped! Burgers were flavourful and surprisingly juicy (not greasy) even though they're smashed. The salad was 10/10! I'd go back just for that salad. It's a masterpiece of charred romaine lettuce, a KILLER dressing, Parmesan cheese, and amazing red crumbs they call "panko crack". Presentation was top shelf and taste was stellar! Staff were focused and friendly. They cranked out our food super fast and deftly dropped it at our table. Bathroom was spotless. Loved the overall vibe with my only complaint being that music was a touch loud for such a small establishment. I'll def be back.

The smashburger was phenomenal!!! It had their special sauce, jalapeños, lettuce, tomato, and cheese on it. The burger was well seasoned and cooked just right with those smashburger crispy edges. The chicken tenders were also well seasoned, crispy, fresh, and actually tender to the bite. The fries had the perfect amount of salt and crisp and I didn't expect to get it, but my meal also came with a nice slice of texas toast. Overall, I left with a good first impression, and am definitely coming back next time I'm in Raleigh. Customer Service: Upon arrival, the owner introduced herself to me and welcomed me in. She was soooooo friendly!!! I appreciated her entrusting me to one of her cashiers for recommendations when I told her it was my first visit! He was down to earth and very outgoing when asking what I had a taste for and how hungry I was and advising how he hooks his food up! Needless to say, him recommending the special was the best idea! Ambiance: This place is casual, well-lit and inviting. It's next to the college campus so it's ideal for a group of friends meeting up in the evening or for lunch!

They were simple but yummy burgers, close to a smash burger but not quite that thin, so more like a thin patty. The bread was nice and chewy and the burger's cheese and sauce made it a flavorful burger. The meat however was a bit chewy. It was a solid 3.5/5 burger. Service was friendly and good came out for take out within 10 minutes. Parking is very limited. It's off the side of a main road and has about 3 spots in front of the restaurant. It requires you to reverse out of spots directly into the road to exit.

I ordered the Superfree Burger, their vegan burger patty made of sweet potatoes, roasted mushrooms, walnuts and seeds; topped with avocado, tomato, mixed greens, onions, and a garlic-tahini dressing. Usually, I'm always excited to try a restaurant's vegan burger, but sad to say, their vegan burger was a bit underwhelming. I felt the patty was on the dry and crumbly side. I also ordered a Kid's Hot Dog meal for my child. The hot dog looked delish, but sadly, the hand-cut fries were soggy, greasy, and dark. I don't know what happened, but it wasn't appetizing. I should have asked the kitchen to make another batch for us. Mama Crow's had so much promise. I'd still come back to give it another try, but I'll order a burger next time.
