We live close by and have passed a few times. I can't believe we waited so long to go here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's small on the inside, but super cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have some outdoor seating as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a huge menu with so many options. It was one of the best burgers I've had in Durham. They also have chicken and hotdogs and so many different sides and apps. We had never had fried pickles that thick before and they were really juicy and so good. The sliders were so cute like the perfect size. We will definitely be back again!

I took my daughter out to lunch at this restaurant yesterday. I had been there previously and knew how great the burgers were but this was her first time there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside of the restaurant is small with a limited area for dining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are areas outside for dining, but as it was still chilly outside, we stayed inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had good customer service and everyone was friendly and professional. The burgers at this restaurant are always huge, moist, and seasoned well. They are handmade daily. I decided to try The Good Fella turkey burger instead of the basic turkey burger that I typically get. This burger was even more flavorful than the burger I had the last time I ate at this restaurant. The fried green tomatoes were good as well, but even better with the spicy chipotle ranch sauce. They also have great fries. The fries were cooked well and not soggy. This is definitely my go-to place whenever I am in the mood for a tasty turkey burger! I will continue to visit this restaurant.

My new favorite burger place! Visited based off a recommendation and glad I did! We ordered the bacon and blue burger (no bacon), turkey burger slider, and impossible burger slider. The sweet potato and regular fries were so good. They also offer chicken, lamb, and beef burgers. I'll definitely return to try something else.

Yummy! Great place to take a German colleague for true American food. It was all great! I'm not usually a chili cheese fries fan but they were delicious! The jalapeño poppers were so good we got two more! Friendly folks who had plenty of time for questions and rightfully proud of their food. This is totally a small step up from the food truck but it makes it all the more fun on a cold Saturday.

Second trip here, and another excellent experience. The food was ready pretty quick, and was absolutely delicious. The Bacon Wrapped Mac & Cheese is awesome (go ahead and get the large, it's worth it), and the burgers are phenomenal. The first time we went with a small group, and everyone ordered different burgers, and we all left very satisfied. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The indoor seating is limited, but there is seating outside available too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can definitely feel the food truck vibes from their beginnings, and it adds a little to the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I love the fact that there are so many unique choices of burgers. There are also vegetarian options. The new OB sauce is addicting. My three year old granddaughter loved the sliders. Best fries in town!! Grab a beer and enjoy the juiciest burger!!

We love a success story and, by all accounts, the Only Burger story is one of those. From a wildly popular food truck to a brick and mortar store that appears to be doing a booming business. Despite the restaurant's name, for my first visit, I was here for a hot dog that I had heard rave review of. The cashier was patient with me as I debated adding a burger to my order too (but ultimately declined). I got the carolina dog with chili, mustard, and cole slaw. This was a 10/10 dog. It was a split top bun that was perfectly toasted on each of the cut sides. The frank itself was SIZEABLE basically just sitting on top of the bun versus nesteled in it. The cole slaw was layered *below* the dog which I kinda liked. Then the mustard and chili were added. All of the elements were delicious. Also, the onion rings were great. SUPER crispy with a great dipping sauce. It's take-out only so I ended up eating in my car and enjoyed every minute of it. I'll definitely be back to try a burger (and more onion rings)!

So if your looking for an amazing place that's tucked away at the corner of a strip mall next to a post office then this is where it's at like if you want some amazingly scrumptious goodness then look no further this is it! Of the many options I totally had to go with the jalapeño poppers and I must say they were beyond on point whole cored out jalapeños wrapped in bacon and stuffed with just the right amount of an amazing cheesy gooey mixture that just seriously hit the spot they were soo good and not just saying that like whoa! For my burger I got the Texas one it had brisket on it that was cooked perfectly and just soo flavorful and juicy like this burger was awesome super good just like those jalapeño poppers! My friend ordered some fried pickles she let me have one and I must say they too were good but the real star of the whole meal here was those jalapeño poppers! Overall this was a great find who knows if I'll get to come here again but it's definitely not out of the question if I'm in the area. With that said if you live around here and haven't been here go give it a try because you'll be missing out until you do!

No inside seating just a order counter as you walk in now.

Was there this weekend and haven't been since right before covid. I was surprised to see there's no longer any indoor seating. We did sit outside in the covered picnic table area since it was a nice day, but even tho there's heaters not sure how well it's going to help when it gets cooler with one end completely open. Just wondering if they have new owners. The FGT burger wasn't up to par and had very little pimento cheese on it.

Dave M.

Best impossible burger I've had to date. The pimento cheese was much meltier than expected, and very good. The pickle chips were forgettable, more breading than pickle. The sriracha mayo dip was 97% mayo so it wasn't my favorite, would try a different sauce if possible.

I tried this place when it was a food truck a few years ago and have been meaning to go for a while. I finally made it there recently and I'm so happy I did. The flavor in these burgers is A+. This is officially my new favorite burger place. I like my burgers well done and many places can get well done burgers wrong. This place makes sure they are so good! They also don't skip on the toppings here! The bacon is thick and delicious and they have great combinations of burgers such at fried tomatoes and pimento cheese. The fries here remind me of McDonald's style fries and each time I got them they were hot and fresh! The only thing I can complain about is the paper cups. They are actually then white cups that get a little flimsy after the drinks have been in it a while. Please note they only have outdoor dining here! But that isn't a bad thing for the nice Fall nights.

We frequent Only Burger at least once a month. The burgers are on point, made to order. I enjoy getting the sampler side to avoid having to choose. This is a burger joint that doesn't try to be anything other than that, and that's what I like. read more

Upfront disclosure, my friends and I go to Only Burger so much they know us by name. I love this place mainly because I can get big fat juicy turkey burgers here! I really don't like dining in because the dining area is kind of small and cramped but the burgers are delicious. I am not a big fan of the fries, but my boyfriend is so I guess its just one of those things. The beef served here is antibiotic and hormone free not sure about the turkey burgers though. Only Burger also sells lamb sliders. A quarter pound burger which is the only size patty offered other than the sliders costs about $5 and the double burgers are around $8. They are all made to order and with a nice selection of condiments. read more

I didn't like the burgers here. I asked what kind of veggie patty they use in their veggie burgers and the lady working there gave a cut out from a cardboard box that had the ingredients listed. Yup, it was frozen. I still decided to try it because I was there meeting a friend during my lunch break so we didn't have time to go elsewhere. The burger wasn't anything special. The fries were alright too. I don't recommend this place. read more

I tried this place because it's close to home and work. My coworkers had showed up to work with grease stained bags saying they'd came from here, but I honestly hadn't ever thought of going myself until I got an itch for a burger one night as I passed by. First off, you can definitely feel the food truck roots. It still feels like food truck eats even though it comes from a kitchen, which is not always the case when trucks go brick-and-mortar. The burgers are creative and delicious, I'm personally partial to "The Greek". Fries are greasy in that awesome "bag fries" kind of way, and well seasoned. Also if you're into bottled beverages they have a decent selection of sodas, Calypso lemonades, and some local beers as well. One of my new favorite spots, I'll surely be returning many times. read more

Found them at the N&O on Friday and tried the Pimento/Fried Green Tomato burger and some fries. It was fine but underwhelming I suppose. It was super hot outside (and probably in the truck) and my burger seemed just kind of melted/soggy. I had recently had burgers from BurgerFi and Five Guys and this may not have been as good as those to be honest. Also had a Pimento cheese burger from Seaboard Cafe a few weeks ago and Seaboards pimento was way better than OB's. Again, maybe the heat was screwing things up. I thought the fries were good but nothing to write home about either, but on the plus side the portion of burger/fries is a big meal. Also they bag it up and give you plenty of napkins and ketchup. I'll give them another shot at some point but won't be seeking them out specifically. read more

Best burger place in the triangle, for me. The burgers are really good, and then I tried the lamb slider which I like even better! You can customize or order one of their creations. I usually get the combo with a drink and fries, and create my own burger. Of their creations the Mediterranean is my favorite. Their fries have some very good seasoning. The onion rings and dipping sauce are good. Haven't tried dessert. There are some good burger places in the area, but this is probably the only one I would drive out of my way to go to because it's so good! read more

All I have to say about this place was....meh. The burger itself was dense and heavy. The lettuce was shredded and got soggy really quickly. The fried pickles weren't very crispy, breading was heavy, and the pickle on the inside was bright green like it was a cheap pickle from a jar. The best part of the meal was the onion rings. There was a lot of hype on the this place to have a meal that didn't quite deliver. read more

I'd heard great things about this place from my friends - so we decided to give it a shot. I will say the onion rings were the best I've had in ages. Very crunchy and well seasoned, without being overdone. And the onion didn't escape for the coating at the first bite. YUM! The burger meat was tasty and cooked properly (ordered medium rare - nice pink in the middle). However, the bun was a soggy mess with little to no flavor. It kind of ruined the burger for me. I will go back for the onion rings for sure - and I'll probably get a burger too, since I'm there, but I won't be dying for it. read more

I love Only Burger! I originally discovered them as a food truck a couple of years ago and still follow them on twitter to find whenever a food truck rodeo takes place. The burger that I always look out for is called "The Texan". It not only has a beef patty but also braised beef with jalapeños, chipotle mayo, a gigantic onion ring, and just full of flavor. It didn't end there either because their fries and onion rings are also really delicious. I can never get enough of this place. Definitely one of my favorite burger spots in the Triangle. read more

Don't waste your time. Ordered an Only Burger, specified very clearly I wanted it WELL DONE, even used the words "basically, burn it". Guess what I found when I got home? Completely pink inside. Top that off with fries that were soggy (crammed into a paper cup) not 2 minutes into my drive home and had zero seasoning. Perhaps the other locations are fine, but this one is a hard pass, given the preponderance of burger joints in the Durham-Chapel Hill area. read more

Generally we really like eating here, but lately we have had two bad experiences that make me think the food quality is dropping. We got things we had had and enjoyed before, but everything was bad! Inedibly tough brisket on the Texan, stringy jalapeños on the southwestern, and thick bready onion rings to boot. It's a very popular place, and the price to quality ratio generally can't be beat, but we'll stick to Cookout for a while and recover from our recent disappointment. read more

In town March 5 with family to see The Lion King at DPAC and naturally looked through yelp for lunch suggestions. Settled on OnlyBurger for proximity, price, and the recommendations. Wife had the famous Fried Green Tomato burger and the boys and I ordered a la cart. Overall burgers were good, filling & tasty. Service was nice and quick. We ordered both fries and onion rings (way too much food) and the fries were much better. Rings just didn't have the flavor for the amount of work & description. Prices were a little high for 4 burgers and fries (water only as usual). Rating really about a 3.5, good but if we had stayed in town longer, we would have sampled other places on our list. read more

A1 Gyro and Philly

A1 Gyro and Philly, a food truck that serves lamb gyro, Philly cheesesteaks, burgers, and grilled…read morechicken sandwiches, came to a neighborhood in Carrboro, NC today, and as a lamb gyro enthusiast, I decided to buy a couple (1 for my girl). I was the only customer, and the friendly Middle Eastern guy in the food truck asked what I wanted: 2 gyro wraps. He asked if I wanted to add hot sauce to my gyros with tzatziki sauce, and I said, "Yes". I asked him where the food truck is based, he said that he goes to different locations, and didn't mention a permanent location. I checked the address here on Yelp and it says it's based in Durham, NC, which is not too far from here. Each gyro wrap cost $12, and my total came up $26+ (I assume with tax included). I was about to pull out $25 cash but after he said total, I pulled $30, and he said not to worry about it. I insisted to give the $30 and he gave a $5 change. I guess I got a $1 discount. He finished cooking both gyros in about 12 min., a bit longer than I expected, considering I was the only customer he was serving at that time. The gyro wraps were served inside a small paper bag, and wrapped in aluminum foil. I was quite surprised at the size of the order for 2 gyros. When I opened my gyro wrap, the size looked regular yet a bit smaller that what I had in last October's State Fair, which was fine, considering the State Fair gyro (which came with side of Greek fries) cost me $18+. However, unlike that State Fair gyro, I did not enjoy A1's main specialty. I would have to agree with what the previous reviewer Renee said, "Onions does not make a Gyro make". I love onions but not too much on my Gyro; this one is loaded with so much onions, lettuce, and tomato to the point that it's drowning the flavors of tzatziki sauce and hot sauce (Did he forget to put it?). The amount of lamb gyro meat didn't seem to justify its $12 price; it's not even spiced well, and the mush of ingredients to hide the fact that it's lacking meat just looked as bad as it tasted. That's not even the worst part. When I ate the gyro wrap, the pita bread tasted soggy, and that unpleasant texture and taste were more emphasized on every bite than the lamb gyro. I was not able to finish it; and just threw my leftover away. As I'm writing this review, my girl hasn't eaten her gyro wrap yet, and I haven't told her what I thought so she could judge by herself. We recently enjoyed an $11+ gyro in Kebab Skewer in Cary, and a $12+ chicken + lamb over rice at Tasty Halal Eats food truck in Morrisville, NC (both I reviewed here on Yelp), and I'm sad to say that A1's gyro wraps were nowhere close to the food quality of those foods and the State Fair gyro I mentioned earlier. The food truck's friendly customer service and 99% Sanitation Score are the only positive things I could say about this food truck. A1's gyro is clearly the opposite of what "A1" means. Overall Score: 1.1/5

They make cookies, pastries, breads (pan loaf and hand-formed ones), soups, hand pies, and sandwiches. The variety is amazing. During the holiday season, they offer larger pies and have various seasonal goods to offer. But what's also wonderful is this bakery gives back to the community in many ways. During the height of the pandemic, they offered free bagged lunch to anyone who needed one. They also were (are?) part of the pilot project for Durham's guaranteed income. It looks to me that the owners/company are concerned about being good citizens of the community and that's a great thing. These days, so many companies get bought out by private equity companies. I hope this bakery continues to be locally owned and operated! (Also, generally this bakery isn't offering the very fancy European/European-ish style pastries which is fine by me. The prices are very reasonable, possibly in part because they aren't trying to make their baked goods a "high end" item. There are other good local bakeries that offer "high end" pastries, but they are also much less affordable and for my taste, too rich.)

Here is finally a good burger joint where you can pay with a credit card, sit down and eat and even have a bottle of locally produced beer. Can it get any better?? I think not, this place is awesome. You get burgers that are hand pattied daily, cooked fresh and have your choice of toppings. Plenty of cheese choices that you wont find at most places, and they toast the bun. If you are really hungry then get a double. If you want to leave in a wheel chair then get a triple. The single burger is more than enough for the normal appetite. You can also get lamb on a burger, which is an interesting twist. The fries are very good, cooked to perfection and way more than enough for a meal by themselves. The slaw and chili are home made and some of the best I have found. This place is not super cheap, but it is super good and well worth the money. The selection of local beers in the cooler is just a big plus for me. I'm not a huge drinker, but like to sample something new when I can or just grab an old standby. Of course you have fountain drinks with refills while you are here so there is no shortage of drinks. You can look through glass panels and see your food being prepared. Everything about this place is quality and you will not be disappointed. The onion rings are not to be missed here at Only Burger. They were also cooked to perfection and darn tasty. It's hard to find good onion rings and this is surely a place to get some good ones. All of my order was prepared in a timely manner and correctly the first time. Something else you dont find these days. If you like burgers you need to hit this place. Parking was good and well lit. There is even a place to sit outside. Win win win. read more

I'd heard good things from a co-worker about Only Burger, so I was excited when I heard they were coming to the Preston Walk Block Party in Cary this past week. The line for burgers was fairly long, but that only told me that it was going to be worth it. I'm a big Five Guys fan, so I was hoping for something either on par, or maybe better, than that particular chain. I wasn't super impressed with having to pay to get cheese added to my burger, but I ended up getting the single burger combo with cheese, bacon and sans a few of the standard toppings that come on every burger (lettuce, tomato, mustard, pickles, onion, etc.) My burger was more well-done than I usually prefer, but overall I really enjoyed it. It came with a massive amount of bacon and you could definitely taste the butter in the toasted bun. The fries were shoe-string cut, hot and salty. They maybe weren't the best I've ever had but they were certainly satisfying. If I ever see the Only Burger truck out and about, I'll be back! read more

My experience with Only Burger was horrible. The service was next to the bottom of any restaurant I have ever been in my entire life. As African American business professionals meeting for lunch my wife and I were completely appalled when we asked for cups to get beverages and the owner / staff checked us to see if we had paid for our food/drinks which clearly we had as posted on our receipt. The owners excuse for this treatment was that the initial staff (an african american female) who had served us did not give us the cups. Ok, so why not simply ask the person who served us instead of coming from behind the counter to check our receipt in front of all the other customers. As african americans we should not allow this type of treatment to go unnoticed from any retailer in the triangle area. My wife and I will not be returning to this establishment. read more

I have been to this Only Burger location numerous times. It is a favorite of mine. My two daughters love it as well. We usually go as a treat for lunch every couple of Saturdays. The staff is really friendly and fast with the food. I have tried the beef burgers, the veggie burgers and a few of the sides. The beef burgers are really good. Nice and juicy. They have a lot of toppings you can get on top that is included in the price. I have also tried their veggie burger. It was really good. They have great fries and I really love the stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon. I might just have to stop by tomorrow. read more
