    Ghost buster and Maverick burgers. Fried banana peppers. Regular and loaded waffle fries.

    I agree with some other reviews.. the place isn't a looker. My husband and I pulled in the parking lot and I was ready to leave. Thank goodness we didn't! We make it a point to go at least every other weekend now. I like the waffle fries but the tater tots are elite. I love getting queso and garlic aioli on them. The burgers are amazing. My husband and I agree that we like them more than 5 Guys, Hwy 55 or BurgerFi. The smashed burgers with the right thickness, cheese on each patty and the buns...! We also loved the jalapeño bacon. And I can't not mention the fried banana peppers! The order is huge and they are mouthwatering. It's a must try if you're in the area!

    Sweet potato waffle fries

    I had no idea this burger joint was in Smithfield. We got done walking at the Smithfield park and decided to get some food. I got the truffle shuffle burger. It has Caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, truffle aioli. I had a side of the aioli, it was a bit sweet for my taste. I got the sweet potato waffle fries with it. My kids loved them. Too much sugar and cinnamon for my taste. I also had a side of onion rings. The onion rings tasted freshly made -best ones I've had in a while! Fries were good reminded me of Wendy's fries. My husband got their salad with the burger patty as his meat option. The salad looked amazing I wish I took a picture of it. His meat came on the side and the dressing came in packets. The service was good and the food came out fast. The ambiance of the place reminded me of an old Taco Bell. I did not care for it. I did like how they had tables outside. I would definitely recommend this place to others now that I know it exists!

    Decent... but yeah, too much $$ for this.

    Seen the reviews and decided to give'm a try. Yeah, nope! The staff was nice enough.. little to no communication. (I'm straight with it) We were the only ppl in the spot. Ordered 2 burgers, a chicken sandwich, 1 fry and, 2 onion rings, plus pretzels. This took over 25mins. I mean, I am all down to wait for good food.. but yeah, NOPE! It's too pricey for the for the quality they served us! (LACKING)... We WILL spend $$ on good food, good it was not. So disappointing.

    Sooo happy to have found this place. Came from Raleigh to the Premium Outlets and decided to try Barley and Burger and OH MY GAAAAAAH. I would come from Raleigh just to eat here. Food is amazing, flavorful, patties had that delicious caramelized crust that a smashed burger should have, all the sides were super crispy and well seasoned(especially them sweet potatoes fries!!), we also ordered 3 milkshakes and were alll amazing too! The staff were incredibly nice and attentive, specially the guys serving the food aaaaaaand a 99% sanitation score?!!! Can't beat it.

    Maverick with sweet potato waffle fries and maple aioli

    We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. The lady that took our order at the counter was super nice and helpful. Atmosphere was simple and clean. They have cute art up of the Goonies, Marty McFly etc. (they have named the burgers after movie references). They also have a nice outdoor seating area at the front of you have a pup with you. We got the Maverick burger and shared. The edges of the smash burger were crispy but it wasn't dry. It was juicy and flavored very well, not over salty. The sweet potato fries were fresh and cooked to perfection, they weren't undercooked or greasy, but that maple aioli that comes with is *chefs kiss! When we pass through Smithfield we will definitely be coming back.

    A Classic Done Right at Zack's Char-grill. Sometimes the…read morebest meals are the simplest ones, and Zack's Chargrill in Smithfield proves this perfectly. My wife and I stopped in for what we thought would be a quick bite, but ended up with something much more satisfying. The menu isn't fancy - just good, honest burgers and fries - but the execution is spot-on. My wife ordered a double cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato, while I went full Carolina style with chili, slaw, mustard, and onions. Both burgers were cooked exactly right, with that perfect char-grilled flavor you can only get from doing things the traditional way. What really struck me was how this meal brought back memories of old-school burger joints where quality ingredients and proper technique mattered more than gimmicks. The fries were crispy and hot, the perfect complement to these substantial burgers. If you find yourself in Smithfield and craving a burger that tastes like it should, you really can't go wrong with Zack's Char-grill. It's old-time goodness served fresh, and sometimes that's exactly what you need. Sorry about the photos. Phone screen went blank and couldn't see what I was aiming at. :-)

The only thing they don't have on the buffet is beef brisket, which is what we love, but all the food that we got the shredded pork, ribs, barbecue chicken, vegetables, bread...everything was really good.

Being able to watch the airplanes land and takeoff was just an extra bonus.

This unique…read morespot was definitely worth the short drive from the Raleigh area on a warm Sunday afternoon. There was a bit of a wait to sit outside - this place is POPULAR! But it was worth those few extra minutes for front row seats of the action on the tarmac below. We arrived during their lunchtime buffet hours, although you can also order from their regular menu. I'm not usually a buffet person, but since I wanted to try a little bit of everything it was definitely the way to go. For $18 I got some ribs, pulled pork, and BBQ chicken. Not to mention, a side of their delish cornbread, and a scoop of two of my Southern faves: mac & cheese and collard greens. Sadly, I was too full of the deliciousness to make a second trip, but if I had it would have been for a heaping pile of mashed potatoes and a generous scoop of their homemade peach cobbler. If you like airplanes and BBQ, add this to your list for your next visit to the area. They also have a full bar, though on this hot day we were happy with bottomless refills of their refreshing sweet tea.
