We had a fantastic experience at Thunder Burgerz. We arrived just before noon, and thank goodness we did, because the place got packed right after we sat down-clearly a local favorite, and for good reason. The atmosphere inside is great and very welcoming. There were four of us, and everything we ordered was spot on. Our table had the Fried Chicken Deluxe, a 6-piece mild buffalo wings, a 1/3rd Cheeseburger Deluxe, and two of the Chilly Billy burgers (loaded with chili and slaw). Every single one of us loved our meals. We all got the regular fries, which were super good, but it's great to know they offer sweet potato fries too. They have a big menu with a ton of options to choose from, and they even serve ice cream! Everything was so good, and we will definitely be back. read more

Tried the food again. 7.00 for a mediocre ice cream- milkshake. Meh. Not impressed. Pizza looks like they got frozen and tried to make it edible. Oh and we just tried it. This looks and tastes like cardboard pizza from the freezer. read more

Lucked up and found this burger joint connected to a Shell station off the highway. Staff is friendly, the restaurant was clean and had signs and posters everywhere. Everything came out hot and fresh. My husband had a cheeseburger and I had the Texas Traveler burger with fries. I wish we had time to eat at the restaurant but we were headed back to Charlotte. This place is a highway exit gem!!! I hope we make our way back the next time we're in Asheville! read more

Service and ambiance was successful. I got the Greek Burger (consisting of Greek dressing, banana peppers, black olives, lettuce and feta cheese) on a GF bun, alongside Cajun fries. The burger was well-cooked, the bun was toasted, and the flavors were able to remind me of Greek cuisine. The fries had a slight crisp and the Cajun seasoning was enjoyable. Overall, not half bad for being at a gas station. read more

The frozen patty, not fresh beef was mediocre. Great fries. I imagine it's comparable to school lunch. Maybe the chicken.

Reminds me of a small old fashioned side store diner, wait, it is lol! First, customer service is A+! Food was on par with what you would get at a local diner. I got a chili slaw hotdog,hotdogs, seasoned fries and a 6 piece garlic hot honey wings with a strawberry lemonade. The star of the show was the garlic hot honey wings. Chicken was fried hard, seasoned well and that sauce was the Absolute game changer! Hotdogs and fries were good as well. I would definitely stop by here again when coming through! Prices were very reasonable and on par with the food amount. Kudos to this establishment for maintaining that good Ole fashioned local spot feel! read more

So many great reviews so decided to try. Wings were very good, everything else not. Burger below average, did not seem like it was made fresh, maybe from frozen cause the texture was weird and the patty looked kind of gray. well done with not much flavor. Nice, soft bun. Tots were extra greasy and too well done, fell apart into pieces when I tried to put in the air fryer. Also had an off taste seemingly from oil not fresh. Chicken tenders did not have much flavor in the batter. Quite disappointed considering the $35.00 spent read more

Wow... talk about a hidden gem. I feel like when you go to a restaurant attached to a gas station it's hit or miss. This place is one of the best places in Asheville. From really affordable amazing food to the small hometown dinner feel to the amazing service. We will definitely be back for many more trips. Also Roy the owner is a 1 of a kind. Came around to make sure everything was good and even followed us out to say goodbye. If you haven't been you're missing out better get over there quick! Ps try the Garlic Parmesan wing sauce (one of the many made in house sauces) read more

My husband and I have ate here many times they are so nice and the food is delicious and we will go back again highly recommend

Our family chose to give Thunder Burgerz Grill as we were trekking from Arden to Canton. As a group, we tried a variety of items from the menu. The wings were great--they were crispy and saucy, but not soggy. The flavor of the garlic parmesan wings were my favorite. The hamburger was the ideal comfort food. The fries were delicious and perfectly cooked. The fried mushrooms were a bonus that really popped! The service was fabulous. Shout out to Donia and Sophie who took great care of us! They were patient as our large family debated over food choices, and they offered solid recommendations. Do not be deterred by the location being adjacent to a gas station! The kiddos in our group enjoyed the old cartoons on the tv, and the grown-ups enjoyed the memorabilia around the space. There are good deals daily, so give Thunder Burgerz a try. Our only regret was filling up on savory food and not leaving room for some ice cream! read more

Filling the fast-food niche created by Dairy Queen's departure, Thunder Burgerz offers good variety at a fair price. A plant-based patty can be ordered with any burger in their line-up; as a vegetarian, I love this. They even offer a spicy vegetarian bratwurst, which I'll be trying on my next visit, along with one of their great-sounding desserts. The interior is clean and uncluttered, and I liked the smooth R&B soundtrack. I gave an extra star for the super-friendly, super-helpful service I received. read more

My family and I went here last week and I got to say. It's was great!! First of all, everyone we saw that worked there was so sweet and attentive. They came over several times to see if we needed anything. The 50's style was cute along with them playing 50's music. They have a TV playing kids cartoons that my child enjoyed. Lastly, the food was amazing! It's not often my child finishes their food but she did! I got a salad and the Mac and cheese which were great, and my husband got their signature burger, had a nice kick to it and he was very impressed. Definitely recommend! read more

I love this place! Everything I've tried here is so good. It seems to be family run and the people are so nice. Hot honey garlic is my favorite wing sauce here. You have to try this place! Very good! They have weekly specials and a drive through for easy pickup read more

Just about the best lunch value in town. Salads are out of this world. Happy to be a regular.

Yes and the wings were delicious and the ladies working were so kind. We will be back!

Meh? We got 2 burgers, wings, sweet potato fries, and onion rings. The fries were undercooked and inedible The onion rings were okayyyy; a little mushy and the onion did pull out a bit The black and blue burger was good, I'd have it again. The Thunder grill burger was pretty gross; I took maybe 3 bites then had to pass it off. My husband eats almost everything and couldn't finish it, either. The wings were probably the highlight; the lemon pepper wings were legit quite tasty. All in all: I probably wouldn't go back. And if I did, it would just be for wings. read more

My wife and I stopped here on our way home from Bryson City. I didn't get a photo of my food because it was so good I ate it too fast. This is my wife's lemon pepper chicken tenders and onion rings, which I had a few bites of as well. Everything we had was AMAZING and was so fresh, I think it was made to order. Please go support this place, i'm writing this review after helene hit AVL pretty hard. Go support a small business. We will be back 10/10 read more

I usually don't like places attached to gas stations but I've saved this to come back later. My boyfriend and I were on a trip for the renfaire and the woman who helped us was so kind and patient. Looks like a fast food place but she brought us our food and regularly checked in like we were at a restaurant. She was taking care of the entire room of customers really well. I had a burger with tater tots and he had a Philly cheesesteak with fries. Everything was so delicious! They also had a bunch of customizations you could do that other places dont always have and a lot of cute drinks you can get aside from regular boring soda. It was so cute inside too with a bunch of kid's drawings on the wall. It felt like I had just stepped into a small town diner. Definitely going to go back and sad that I can't remember the name of the woman who served us. read more

The service and food quality was absolutely incredible! We ordered two burgers, one being with the gluten free bun and not a crumb was left. The fries were so well seasoned and crispy which I loved. Im pretty sure the guy who helped us was the owner and he did an amazing job! We will definitely be going back. read more

first time at this local owned restaurant. Many options. French Fries are wonderful. Burgers are thick , like one you would make at home. Staff are friendly and take time to chart with ya. Definitely a must try. We will return!!!! read more

My new go to! I'm new to the area & wanted wings. I've always been privy to "gas station" food. They did not disappoint. Food was good & fresh! And the ladies are very nice. read more

When we arrived it was adjacent to the gas station. Fine, there's a lot of great food inside gas stations but I have to be honest. This is one that just did not measure up to a good burger or even a chicken sandwich! It has potential to be good. The menu is extensive. The place was somewhat clean. I would prefer to see the tables and seats wiped down as patrons leave. It's not busy at all for that not to happen as second hand. I'm sorry but I do not recommend. I'd recommend McDonald's over this establishment- and we hardly eat at McDonald's, which says a lot. read more

So glad they have finally put a good place to eat in Candler! So far everything we've tried has been great! Their chicken tenders are very good, they seem to be made fresh to order. All their sauces seem to be homemade. Great place to eat!! read more

Nice big burgers and yummy fries. The restaurant has a great playlist (60's-70's) and when we were there, The Flintstones played on the TV non stop. After all, who doesn't love the Flintstones? Order at the counter and your food is out as soon as it's cooked by a friendly employee. read more

We got delivery through GrubHub in Asheville, and on both our sandwiches featuring bacon, we asked for crispy bacon. Fortunately, my husband's WAS crispy and plentiful, as his was a BLT and the bacon was the star. Inexplicably, MY bacon (on top of a burger thankfully) was practically raw. Disappointing. The burger WAS cooked the way I wanted, so I'm giving them a reluctant three. Our requests for condiments were also only half-fulfilled. My fries were cold - not unheard of with delivery - but greasy cold. I would not order from this restaurant again. read more

Great 50's diner vibe. Good burgers. In a gas station/convenience store but don't let that deter you. Enjoyed listening to the oldies while eating. Great change from the fast food chains while traveling. read more

First time eating here. Delicious Chilly Billy burger, crispy onion rings. Friendly employees and clean seating area. What are you waiting for?? read more

This place had been getting some positive reviews on my local Facebook page, so I decided to check them out for lunch. Super friendly folks, a great burger, and a great value. I'll certainly return. read more

Do NOT get your food delivered because the restaurant pretty much ALWAYS gets your order wrong. You need to be there in person so that you can get it corrected and not be stuck with all the things that are wrong. I have ordered the same thing 4 times from this restaurant. It has only been correct once. What I have eaten is good, but it is frustrating never having the sauces I request (and pay extra for) or even the side item is completely missing. My wings were completely plain one time and weren't edible at all that way. I had requested twice the sauce be put on them and had paid extra for that. Instead, I received them with no sauce at all. I did contact the restaurant and have yet to hear back from them. This is the first negative review I have ever left in my life because I always try to work things out with the establishment first, but this is a little ridiculous. I let it go the first two times, but this time I had to post a negative review when I didn't hear back because the food was inedible. I paid $30 and wasn't able to eat any of it. Just make sure to check everything before leaving the restaurant. read more
