North Carolina Eatery Named The 'Best Burger Joint' In The State

Who doesn't enjoy a good, juicy burger? Whether you want yours loaded with towering toppings and extra bacon or you're looking for a hearty veggie option that doesn't sacrifice on flavor, there are plenty of amazing restaurants around the Tar Heel State to find your perfect match.

According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the "best burger joint" in all of North Carolina is Al's Burger Shack. This Chapel Hill institution has captured the hearts of locals with its tasty burger options. Al's Burger Shack has a few locations. Find your nearest one by visiting the restaurant's website.

Here's what the site had to say about this popular spot:

"Al's Burger Shack probably didn't need to make burgers this good. The joint is nestled right next to the University of North Carolina campus, so it would likely have grabbed hungry customers no matter what. However, TripAdvisor once named Al's Burger Shack the best restaurant for burgers in America. That's a bold claim, and it's one that Al's has been trying to live up to ever since. The joint's burgers feature fresh, made-to-order chuck patties and house-made toppings. What more could you want?"
