top five

Here are my top five favorite burger/hotdog joints in DTR. Enjoy!

1. Char-Grill: On of my favorite things about Raleigh and an absolute classic to the town would definitely be Char-Grill. There are multiple Char-Grill’s located throughout the Raleigh area but the one closest to the Downtown Raleigh area is the original Char-Grill located on Hillsborough Street. If you’re looking for a fresh burger or hot dog on-the-go, Char-Grill is the place to go. You can either order and sit down to enjoy your meal or you can grab it and go.

2. Snoopy’s Hot Dogs: If you like hotdogs, then you have to love Snoopy’s. Also a classic to the Raleigh area, you can find a Snoopy’s at a few different locations around town. A lot like Char-Grill, Snoopy’s is a walk-up hotdog restaurant that has fast service and good food. They have things other than hotdogs including burgers and chicken sandwiches, but are most famous for their dogs. They also have a Hillsborough Street location so it can sometimes be a dilemma between Snoopy’s and Char-Grill.

3. Bad Daddy’s: One of my favorite restaurants in Seaboard Station would definitely have to be Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar. They have a lot of different speciality burgers but my favorite thing to order is the build-your-own burger. On my burger I always get american cheese, onion straws, and Bad Daddy’s sauce with a side of either homemade chips or sweet potato fries. Their prices aren’t too bad for the size of the burgers and the amount of food that you get.

4. Mojoe’s: Another great burger joint in the DTR area is Mojoe’s. You can find this restaurant right on the corner of Peace Street and Glenwood Avenue and I guarantee that you will not miss it. Similar to Bad Daddy’s, Mojoe’s specializes in burgers and also offers sit-down service. My favorite burger to order from Mojoe’s is the “BBQ Burger” which has bacon, cheddar cheese, onions, and bbq sauce on it. They mostly sell burgers but they also have a few sandwiches and appetizers to choose from. Also every night after 10 pm, you can get burgers for $3!

5. The Station: Even though The Station is necessarily a burger place, they still feature one of my most favorite burgers in town. The burger that they offer is called the “Station Burger” and has two patties, cheese, as well lettuce, tomato and onion. Compared to a lot of the other burgers that I have talked about in this post, this burger seems kind of plain. And it is, but that is the best part about it. FYI: Monday’s are the best time to go because you can get this huge burger for only $5.

Be sure to come visit next week when I should be back on track visiting somewhere new! But for now, go enjoy a burger at one of these great places!
