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 Double bacon burger was fresh and a decent burger for fast food. The sesame seed bun was a bit…read moretoo flaky for me. 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

Have always heard good things about this place so finally decided to try it out…read more The wait for seating was maybe 2 seconds which was amazing. The service was good and attentive. And the menu had a good variety of things that would make me want to come back and try. Also the vibes were good it seems like a good place to watch a game. To start off the meal we ordered some fried pickles as an appetizer and I loved them. They were just the right amount of crunchy and flavorful. The crinkle cut fries are a sleeper in the industry and if you do them right they are great and adding a dipping sauce is the way to go. Now onto the burger I got a smash burger with lettuce Moe joe sauce and cheese. It was a very solid burger! On my one bite score I gave it a 7.7 which is a very good score. The bun was hit or miss. For the other two burgers that had more toppings on them the bottom bun quickly got soggy. For mine it was fine the whole time. Overall I really enjoyed it and definitely would love to try different things on the menu next time.

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!

I went with my mother on a packed Saturday evening and it gets crowded quick in terms of seating, but the service time was quick from order to getting our food I would say it was about a 5-8 mins. I got a Classic Cheese Burger with no onions or tomato. It is a 2 patty burger with a good sauce and savory seasoning with a piece of leaf lettuce. The burger was a solid 8/10! We got one Large Fry to split and I will say some fries were inconsistent some were soggy others were crispy. The flavor was there I would've liked a bit more pepper but good overall I do wish I got a side sauce. Overall the new spot doesn't hit quite the same as when it was in North Hills but still very good and if you like burgers you definitely need to give it a try!

What I really appreciate most is how much they give back to the community.

The menus could be kept at the table if you seat yourself. It is much busier here than when I first started dining here so they may not have enough staff. The food did come out pretty quick though. On my most recent visit, I went with a double cheeseburger with fries. I got an iced tea too, and a refill was provided. The burger was prepared as ordered so no complaints there and a bottle of ketchup was brought for the fries. I really wanted another milkshake but it was too cold outside that day for me so hopefully next time will be a warmer day so that I will want a shake.
