Jayla provided wonderful service. I brought a party of 8 and all let full and happy! Food was made well and no complaints, atmosphere was very clean. read more

Really solid fried chicken spot with big flavor. Got the Aretha Mae chicken sandwich with a side of fried cauliflower bites, and everything hit. The smack sauce is especially good and ties everything together. I went with mild heat, which had great flavor without being overly spicy. Portions were solid, but it is a bit on the pricier side. My sandwich and cauliflower bites came out to about $21 with tip, so it feels more like an occasional treat than an everyday stop. There's nice seating both indoors and outdoors, but it is a bit limited. Food came out in about 10 minutes, which felt totally reasonable. Fair warning, it's definitely a messy sandwich, so grab extra napkins, but that kind of comes with the territory. Overall, really good food and something I'd absolutely get again when I'm in the mood for a quality chicken sandwich. read more

Surefire Market - Retha Mae and cauliflower bites - Burgers Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Smash burgers and chicken sandwiches are featured here. The pictures don't do the burger any justice. Probably one of the most seasoned burger I've had. My wife says it was too salty. Definitely a preference. The fries were equally seasoned to perfection. The service was quick and the person who took our order was very friendly. She was very informative as well. The ambiance is cute for the small space. Plenty of drink options whether you want a fountain drink or a bottled drink. They also had alcoholic beverages if you need one to wash your burger and fries down. The thought process to make this space nostalgic with the posters and items for sale behind the counter added a cute touch. I'd like to come back and try the chicken as coleslaw. read more

Great burgers! I met do friends here for lunch, and the smash-style burgers did not disappoint. I ordered the Ogden burger with a single patty. I was very pleased. Both my burger and fries were made fresh to order. The fries are not my preference, but they were good. This place is set up like a market with beverage coolers and shelves with snacks, other food items, household items and even medicines. This place would be a life saver for people visiting Camp North End or those who live in the nearby apartment community. My only complaint is the lack of seating inside. It's not ideal for groups who wish to sit together. My party was able to snag good seating, buy this might not always be the case. There is additional seating outside on the walkway but isn't ideal for cold winter months. read more

The food was delicious! I had the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich. It was truly amazing, I ordered it with a little spice and it was just the right amount. The service was great too, you order at the counter and I totally trusted the teammate with my order, he did not disappoint! There is plenty of outside seating, perfect for people watching at Camp North End. What I would say. 2 sandwiches before tip were $26, without any fries or drinks, that's the only reason I am giving 4 stars. Enjoy the sandwiches and burgers here on your next visit to Camp North end! read more

Honestly one of the best chicken sandwiches and smash burgers I have had in a while. We got the Retha Mae chicken sandwich in mild spice and it was perfect. Just enough spice for some heat, but not burn your mouth hot. The chicken was super crunchy on the outside but juicy on the inside paired with pickles and surefire sauce was 10/10. The burger was top notch as well. We opted for the classic with 2 patties and came with cheese, pickles and smacked sauce. Full of flavor and just overall one of the best I've had in a while. We will 10000% be coming back for more the next time we are in Charlotte! read more

Tried the Classic Smash Burger at Surefire, and it was exactly what a smash burger should be--crispy edges, juicy inside, and flavorful. The sear on the patty gave it that perfect crunch, with the melted cheese, and I asked for grilled onions as an addition. The bun was soft but sturdy enough to hold everything together, and the toppings stayed balanced without overpowering the burger itself. It's the kind of burger that disappears way too fast because every bite keeps you going back for the next.. i was legit sad when i finished lol Service was great and the casual vibe makes it a spot I'd definitely come back to when a burger craving hits. read more

I cam here with my family yesterday to try this restaurant recommended by my sister in law. It's located in Camp Northend. Parking is free and this restaurant has its own storefront. I did not take many pictures of the inside of the restaurant, but it seems like a restaurant, mini warehouse, convenience store. There were boxes stacked with items. I guess that's the "market" side. I was under the impression that it was a restaurant only. There was limited seating inside as well. I know this place is known for its burgers but for some reason I didn't have a craving for one at the time. I ordered the Retha Mae with the Saide sauce which is a hot sauce of some sort and my husband ordered the classic burger. Now about the Saide sauce, the cashier who assisted us was a young woman, who answered our questions, but seemed detached. She offered the Saide sauce as if it's something that came on the sandwich, then proceeded to charge $1 for the sauce. I believe that should be disclosed if an up-charge will be added. We also ordered fries, mambo sauce, and a grilled cheese for my toddler. We gave our name and waited outside. The order took around 10 mins or so (I went back inside and my name was called shortly after). My in laws were told they would be notified via text but weren't. I started off with the fries, which were nice and hot! I used the mambo sauce to dip my fries into and that was delicious! My chicken sandwich had a large chicken breast which I loved and it was very juicy. There was nice flavor and the spice was satisfying as well (it wasn't a burn your mouth hot). The chicken was between a potato bun (awesome!), pickles, Surefire sauce, everything except the coleslaw. I was disappointed because I was looking forward to that! I honestly didn't feel like going back because it was hot and we had to walk over to another part of Camp Northend for shaded seating. All in all my meal was good sans coleslaw and I would probably come back! read more

Amazing new spot in Camp North End! The place is small but has some seating inside and outside. Service was great! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the original double cheeseburger and the chicken sandwich Sadie style, which means spicy. I also ordered the fries and some extra sauces. The burger was thin and juicy. The edges were crispy and the cheese was nice and melty. It was very flavorful! The chicken sandwich had a nice crunchy breading. I loved the spicy too. It had a little sweetness to it as well which I loved. The fries were well seasoned and super crispy. And the ranch and surefire sauce were both amazing as well! read more

Been hearing all the hype about this new smash burger establishment, and decided to give them a try. I'm happy I did, I ordered the classic burger, single patty. The burger and the fries were fantastic. I hate when an establishment advertises smashed burgers but you don't get a smashed burger patty with crispy edges. Well that's not the case here, they get your patty nice and thin with those caramelized crispy edges!! Chef's kiss.. The fries were hot fresh and seasoned to perfection. They offer chicken sandwiches, milkshakes etc. Service was nice and quick, it's a bit tight and cluttered on the inside, but they do have outdoor seating. Everything seemed clean, we sat inside and enjoyed our meal! read more

Cute new smash burger place in camp north end. I think they opened recently when we tried them and all the menu items were not available (shakes). They have burgers, chicken sandwiches and kids grilled cheese and fries. The shakes were not available yet but we saw chocolate, cookies and cream and another flavor. We opted for the Tyson Corner, single patty, one with mambo sauce and one without. The burgers were perfectly cooked with crispy edges and flavor. My only suggestion is to toast or steam the buns as they were cold compared to the hot toppings. Definitely coming back to try another burger and chicken sandwich. The spot also sells some convenience store type items in the order area. A little confusing but perhaps a need they are filling in the community. read more

So glad I came across a post about Surefire this weekend. We got there around 8pm and were greeted immediately . I liked that they have large photos with descriptions of their sandwiches which made ordering easy. Our food was ready quickly (under 10 minutes). Everything was fresh and tasted delicious. I ordered the Honey Butta Chicken Sandwich and I convinced Hubby to order the Double Odgen. The fries were great (crispy and fresh). I ordered Mambo sauce to dip them in. The chicken sandwich was sooo good! I contemplated leaving the coleslaw on but opted out. But they put a tiny portion in a container and I tried it on my last bite and wasn't disappointed. WHEN I order it again I'll get it the way it comes. Hubby was less impressed with the burger. He thought five guys burger had a better char on the patties. We also ordered a plain tender for our toddler. It's a big tender so one was enough; Unfortunately it had some spice so it was more mild than plain. There are cocktail style tables on the side of the restaurant and about 5 patio tables out front. I would absolutely recommend you come and try their chicken sandwiches! read more

Customer service is top tier here. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. The menu is simple yet delicious. I like their chicken sandwiches slightly over their burgers. The honey butta isn't favorite, and some spice and it's perfect in my eyes. The chicken is seasoned wonderfully and has a great crunch to it. Can't go wrong with anything here. Atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. read more

After not making it by Surefire during my first trip to charlotte, I made it my first stop when I came back. Unfortunately it didn't meet any expectations i had. Actually it was extremely disappointing as a whole. First I'll say the service was almost unwelcoming. I felt like It was obvious it was my first time and the lady just seemed as if I was an inconvenience to her day. She didn't seem interested in taking the order and very dry personality. Probably a better fit for boh than being the cashier. For food we orders a single with cheese, double classic, honey butta, and fries. As for the burgers they are probably decent but holy crap were they salty. The first bite and your immediately caught off guard by how heavy handed they are with the seasoning. Usually the issue is under seasoning but they certainly made sure to Give it their all. Thankfully we split the burger so it was a little easier to force down after a 5 hr drive and being super hungry. Then we moved on to the honey butta. I'm a chicken sandwich monster and can't tell you one time I've not finished A chicken sandwich..... well until today. I expected a sweetness because honey is in the name but this was almost like eating a plate of chicken and waffles drenched in syrup. Extremely sweet and unbearable to take down. I wanted a savory lunch but this was like a dessert chicken sandwich. I took two bites out of my half and tossed the rest. After the extremely salty burger to this extremely sweet chicken it was not manageable. Next the fries. Those were decent. The 2 stars are strictly based off the fries. They could have taken some of the salt from the burger and added it to the fries but over all they were crispy and easily manageable to eat. Other than that the business sells drinks and snacks and the prices just felt like double what they would be anywhere else. Very steep as a whole. Over all for me and my family they really missed the mark and after a long drive from ga it was a super disappointing dinning experience. read more

Surefire Market is a new addition to Camp Northend that serves up delicious smash burgers as well as chicken sandwiches! Their menu is small and focused providing some classic fast food staple items but with fresh local ingredients and served up by local Charlotte natives. I have yet to make it in to see the place in person, but I have now ordered delivery through Door Dash multiple times, and I have to say these are some of the best smash burgers I've had in quite some time. The chicken sandwich was no joke either! If the food can be this good after being delivered I can only imagine how good it tastes right off the grill. I am going to have to make a point to stop in soon! read more

I just called at Noon on a Thursday and a Smash burger restaurant is out of burgers.. insane. But it's Charlotte no surprise

Fast food Service style, quick and to the point. Walk in, Order at register, stand and wait for name to be called. A few indoor tables and a few outdoor tables to grab a bite then go. Many took to-go orders. Tried the fries, the Ogden Double smash burger which has cheese, caramelized onions, and bacon. Also ordered the Retha Mae Chicken Sandwich spicy with coleslaw and pickles but ours was missing the slaw. OVERALL Verdict: Food was decent and fresh. Burger was okay. I feel the caramelized onions over powered the flavor of the burger. Spicy Chicken sandwich was seasoned with a crunchy type seasoning which threw off the texture of the sandwich because it seemed like I kept biting into tiny hard pieces. Opt for the basic chicken sandwich IMO. Fries were boring. Would have appreciated a fresh cut potato style to marry the food. The Surefire sauce is different, the only word I have for that. Decent food but has me skeptical of the IG influencers overhyped reviews more and more these days. read more

We were 2nd in line to place our order. Oder taking and service at the counter was great. HOWEVER, our order was placed at 2:33 pm and we didn't receive our burger and fry order until 3:13 pm. (Times based on receipts, so they are accurate.) Strawberry shake still has to be made. Seriously, this is not a high end, sit down restaurant, plus they have a very limited menu. Nor did appear the front end or back end of the restaurant were short staffed. To wait 45 minutes is absolutely ridiculous! Especially after spending $42 for 3 classic, single burgers, one milkshake and one soda. Never again! read more

Surefire Market - Ogden burger - Burgers Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

One of the newest places in camp north end, had heard a lot of good things so had to go try. Overall my experience was very mid. They're still pretty new so I expect some bumps in the road. We got the wrong order initially but didn't go back and tell them. My partner and I both ordered burgers and they were good, but not delicious. They seem to specialize in smashed burgers which are in themselves crispy edged. These I personally felt were a little too charred. It was all I could taste. Fries were good. The inside looks like it will eventually be a type of convenience store as well? Hard to say right now. read more

I ordered a classic single burger. It came with cheese on top and, under the Patty. The pickles were thinly sliced and delightfully added to the contrast of the crispy but, juicy burger patty. I am satisfied with a single. But if you have an appetite regularly, you could suggest a double. Although my I personally, was content. I received great service, and witnessed a diverse, and strong family bond between employees. I will be taking my fellow burger enthusiasts here. Burger enthusiast or not, I highly recommend this place, if you enjoy a high quality, yet balanced burger. You could say "this is what I mean, when I want a burger". Or at least I will. read more

Been several times to both the food truck then to the North End location and they never disappoint. The burgers are always delicious and the service is always on point. If you're a fan of smash burgers this is an easy recommendation. Personal preference.. I wish there was a tomato available to throw on one of the burger choices but like thats a seriously personal preference and not a reflection of the options at all. The chicken tenders are huge AF, the mambo sauce is insanely delicious, and the burgers are always fresh. read more

By far, the most ridiculously good fried chicken in Charlotte. The burgers are great too, but once I had the fried chicken sandwich and the chicken tenders, I'm only going to this place for the fried chicken fries are awesome. Lots of cool other items and knickknacks that I haven't tried yet in the store too it's definitely a fast casual place that you can eat in or grab on the go when you're in camp north end. Never had an order that wasn't absolutely fresh. This is not healthy food so don't expect that but it is real food. read more
