I love stopping here when passing through Morganton. It is a no-frills, counter service restaurant. You place your order at the counter, you are given a cup to pour your own drink & they call your name when your order is ready. Staff are friendly and the prices are affordable. There are a variety of combo options so you're bound to find what you're looking for. There is plenty of indoor seating as well as some outdoor seating available. I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a quick, reasonable lunch that hits the spot. I always enjoy the burgers and it's hard for me to pick between fries and onion rings, give 'em both a shot! read more

By the line waiting to order I thought I'd stumbled upon a gem of a burger place! However, I was sadly mistaken. The lady in front of me ordered several milkshakes with her order which the girl at the counter taking orders had to go make - which left the line of us ordering at a standstill for a good 15 minutes. I was just about to walk out when she finished and came back to take orders. Prices weren't terrible but our burgers were almost like hockey pucks - completely overcooked and the buns were stale with hard edges. Onion rings were also overcooked I wasn't sure if there were even any onions inside the breading. Ranch dip was tasty. Fountain drink machine was out of syrup - and all the tables were dirty. None of the employees looked happy to be there either. Will not be back. read more

Theres so much grease. On everything. Just, wow. Prices are good. Yes. Staff were decently welcoming, nothing note worthy. The flavor under the grease, is there. It is. But there's so much grease on the fries, onion rings, patty melt, and burgers...neither myself nor my 9 yo could finish even any of our food. We both started feeling sickly and left. Cleanliness...this is like a 2 out of 10. I have to pass on future visits, which is unfortunate because the potential is really there. read more

While passing through the town of Morganton on our way back from the mountains. My girlfriend and I were starving and desperate for a nice filling lunch. We came across Uncle Eee's after doing some research online and it seemed like exactly what we were looking for. It is an old school small town neighborhood fast food joint. You go up and order at the counter. They have burgers, dogs, onion rings, milkshakes, all of the classics at reasonable prices. The line was long as there were many other hungry patrons, it's easy to see that this place is very popular. For good reason too! The line moved quickly as they had people working tirelessly behind the register taking orders, and on the grill flipping burgers. Our food came out quickly and it was delicious! Fine din in can be nice but sometimes all I want is a greasy burger in a non pretentious small town little dive and this place certainly delivered. read more

Burgers have always been consistent and flavorful and always have friendly service. Tried a cheesesteak this time and won't be the last. One of the best burger joints in the Morganton area. A must try. read more

Great fresh burger, nice spot over in downtown. Probably my favorite burger in town and there's a couple great burgers in Morganton

Finally decided to try this place after driving by it many times. It was alright. The burgers are not bad, not the best. The burger itself is maybe 4 stars. The issue is the place itself was not very clean. Lots of dirty tables and kind of run down looking. My friend who I went with also said he noticed the fryer oil looked very dark and dirty. I just feel there are nicer places to get decent burger in the area. read more

Very good smash burgers. The fries were very basic fries. Not many options in downtown for something fast in the evening. We'd probably come back if in Morgantown. read more

Great food and prices. Always fresh and flavorful. Nice change of pace from fast food! read more

Awesome. Great burger. Just passing thru. What a burger should be. Nice people too. Thanks!! read more

Great burger and hotdog place in downtown Morganton. The food is always fresh made in front of you. The people are friendly and welcoming to newcomers with lots of questions about the menu items. Very historical building and long running restaurant in this spot. read more

Best Burgers In Town!! Can't Beat The Triple Special. Come On Get You Some! Great Shakes Too!

Four stars with a few caveats. Food wise, the burger was cooked fresh and had a nice sear and very good flavor. The hotdog was also tasty. The chili was among the better I've had, and the slaw was good as well. The fries were fine. Now for the caveats. Counter service only, and it is very loud inside--concrete and brick all around with no plush material to dampen any sounds. The biggest concern I had was the cleanliness. Overall, it seemed a bit grimy. The worst part was the door runner inside. It was actually sticky. This object that is supposed to be soft and absorb some dirt and debris from the shoes of patrons has surpassed its capacity and has become stiff and sticky. (Sorry I just used the phrase stiff and sticky.) But the sanitation grade was an A, and the food tasted very good, so I'm sticking with four stars. With a few caveats. read more

Uncle eee, is a reliable, consistent, local secret burger n hotdog place. their food is delicious. Great proportions and not greasy. Cheeseburger and loaded Irish chips. you won't be disappointed. They also have fish and chicken sandwiches. Mmm mmm good!! read more

We both got the #1 combo which was a junior cheeseburger fries and a drink. It was a quick stop to eat before heading out of town. The burgers were tasty but I ordered grilled onions which are my favorite part and it barely had any sadly. The service was pretty fast and this seems like a town staple. read more

Came here from a friend's recommendation and it did not disappoint was one of the best places I have been. The prices was great from the great amount of food you get to the atmosphere. read more

Random stop on our way through town. We were starving and saw a parking spot on Main Street. Excellent burgers and fries. We loved every last bite. We would go again if in the area and recommend it if you're looking for hand pattied burgers! So delicious check it out read more

Back in the day this place used to be so so good but now it's so mid. The fries don't even taste the same anymore. Service is bland, no one acts like they enjoy their job and it's an inconvenience that someone comes in and orders. Whenever I walked in there were stepped on fries on the floor. The lettuce and tomatoes are lower quality than McDonald's and seem either old or as if they've sat out room temperature for too long. Also it's pricey for no reason. I enjoy supporting local businesses but I can't excuse mediocrity. read more

We stopped in to try the burgers out and ordered two Jake combos, one with fries and one with onion rings. The restaurant is clean, service is friendly and fast and the food was fresh. Burgers were nicely seared, the fries were fresh and the onion rings were made from real onions and battered. There was a problem with the order which was quickly resolved to my satisfaction. Lots of toppings available for the burgers and hot dogs and corn dogs available too. This restaurants is as it presents, a no frills diner with fresh burgers and good service in the middle of downtown Morganton. I would visit again. read more

Awesome burger joint! Rode up here on bikes and glad we stopped here for grub! Killer burgers and shakes!

We called in our order 15 min out after we left snow tubing which was perfect timing as this place gets busy and the food is cooked fresh so we didn't have to wait. Burgers and hot dogs were excellent. read more

I dined in for lunch and would definitely go again! This is a classic no-frills burger joint with a focused menu and affordable prices. I was in and out in about 20 minutes and my burger was awesome - definitely recommend for a quick lunch. read more

Ordered two hotdogs atw and a large order of fries and was charged $17.83!! That is OUTRAGEOUS!! I might could understand it if the hotdogs were three feet long and there was a full pound of fries but, for what I ordered the price was inexcusable. I will NOT be back. And whoever DOES go back deserves to lose their money. read more

This is an inexpensive burger joint that hits the burger craving. The hotdog is better than the burgers. Burgers lacked seasoning but have a wide selection of toppings. Two of us at for less than $15 and we got our money worth. Would come back. read more

Uncle Eee - Cheezy burger - Burgers Near Me - Morganton, North Carolina

This place has a lot of potential but lacks excitement. I went for the daily 6.00 special: burger/fries/drink. It was just that nothing else. I actually would rather eat at cook out for cheaper or at sonic. The space inside is very large and comfortable. I would like to see more people hanging out there! Maybe ad some cool music or bring in a musician to live'in up the place! I would take down the 15 pattie hamburger poster off the wall and put up some nice local artwork! read more

Very good hamburgers cooked to order. House chips and onion rings were decent. Small place and lots of customers coming in with no mask so we got ours to go and ate in the truck. All staff were in mask! read more

Fantastic burgers and very friendly staff. Plenty of parking behind the restaurant. Would highly recommend this place.

For my 3rd time going there they had already recognized me they said "are you here for the #2 with bacon?" which was exactly what i was there for! i'll definitely be back here again! its a shame i live in florida. read more

I had heard about Jack's Wayback Burgers and was in Morganton, NC last week. Well I got there and found it had changed ownership. The staff was nice and claimed the food was the same as before only the name had changed. To be honest the food was so-so. Not really impressed. read more

Best damn burgers,chicken tenders and if your in the mood for a flawless fish sandwich GO HERE. the onions are to die for and the fried with the sparkle seasoning is the best. 120% need to visit before leaving morganton. No regrets! read more

Delicious burgers, onion rings, fried pickles, and they have Cherry Fanta! Great service and dining. Very reasonable!!

Horrible service from snot nosed brats. The product was over priced, no flavor at all. It is obvious the cheapest and lowest quality product is used here. I can't stand McDonalds but even their burgers have more taste than the ones here. All my friends who came as the same thing, we will not be back. read more

My son just got back from picking up our to-go order from Uncle Eee's and the Philly Burger is absolutely not worth the money. The bun was so soggy with grease I've had to peel half of it off and it's still barely edible. The patties are bland and they forgot one of our drinks. So I paid $12 for a barely edible burger, a tiny fry and one drink. Definitely not going here again. It was really good when it was Jake's Wayback. read more

Not bad food. Although if you have young children, i don't recommend this place, as there are no changing tables in either bathroom.
