    Great little concession-like business!
    Ian M.

    Great little concession-like business! It's like a race track trailer grille relocated into the city! Lots of options though we only tried the shakes on this day. We will be back and I will write a more complete review when we've tried the food!

    Big Bucko Burger

    Best food ever!! I would recommend to people who are not local to try it. Service is perfect always.

    Delicious! Great roadside stop. Cheeseburger and FF were delicious highly recommend. We had the ice cream as well great portions!

    The food is so good the seasoning is perfect and the chili is fantastic. The workers are so nice and loud so you can hear everything they say. I would recommend to come on a not hot but not cold day. It is next to the road but thats fine.

    bucko burger most of the way plus fries

    pretty sure that Buckos still has the best moose in town and the thatched roof over the patio tables is pretty swell too even if it doesn't block out all the noise from the truck and car stereo-types. The drive-up has a smaller version of the specials board with prices on it same as up front so you won't miss anything... kinda wish that you'd talk to the moose to place your order and at the same time kinda glad you don't. I took a pass on any form of hot doggery this time and got me a Bucko burger instead; combo adds fries and a beverage for a modest fee. Got my burger most of the way (no chili) because I prefer good to silly and I get to taste the other stuff on there: tomatoe, onion, pickles, slaw... the bun is pretty generic but keeps your fingers out of the messier bits of your food so that's a win. Said messier bits are of good quality, are assembled well, and keep their form throughout so I can't think of a good reason to add chili. Hot, crispy, seasoned fries are the perfect accompaniment and quite good even as they approach room temperature, never even felt the need to ketchup them. Not a meal for the ages but a meal for me none the less: rounding up for value, service, and the moose.

    The owner has a problem with people from up north. The food is made with poor quality ingredients. I had to throw up after eating it

    Have traveled all over western nc trying hot dogs. In my opinion this is the best! Try it with mustard, chili and slaw.

    Real What-A-Burgers have dashes in the name. Great foot-long chili dog and chili cheese burgers…read more They're good with lettuce and tomato too! Real french fries are served here...not those skinny toothpick-like fast food deals.

    This spot is not part of the Texas based chain, Whataburger (founded in Corpus Christi in 1950),…read morenor the small What-A-Burger chain that started in Newport News in 1951! This spot is one of 4 remaining locations of a chain begun in 1956 in the Concord area. The number of locations maybe reached 14 or so, rising and falling as spots came and went. There are 2 locations in Concord and 1 in Kannapolis, in addition to this one. This one Is newer and in a little better shape, the other three are worn to the point of shabby. This is as old school drive in as you will find, with curb service, with ordering boxes that you can barely talk thru. The menu has some variety, but this place is about burgers, dogs, fries, Cherry-Lemon Sundrop, or Witch Doctor drink. This place, from reviews, is as inconsistent as the other three - and I've eaten at the other three. We got the What-A-Cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and pickles, a Footlong with mustard, chili, and onions, along with FF, a Witch Doctor, and Sundrop. The burger and hot dog were solid, but not spectacular, and the FF were simply awful, cold with no flavor. And yet I enjoyed this experience, the nostalgia raises up the food and the moment. It's akin to having a hot dog at Yum Yum's or Pulliam's, or a burger at The Castle or Beef Burger, or a BBQ sandwich at Stamey's!

    Whoever was at the front about 10 minutes ago (05-18-2026 at 4:30pm or so) lied when confronted…read moreabout the pricing on their Doordash listing versus their in-restaurant pricing, telling me that Doordash charges them 30% to use the service. This doesn't make sense; Doordash charges a maximum of 6% for pickup orders, and we ordered for pickup. I initially questioned their pricing because they charge almost $6 on Doordash for a 3.5oz cup of guacamole, and iirc around $4.30 after tax in restaurant. It was over a dollar upcharge. When questioned he said that it was because of the pricing of the 'best,' avocados (I work at a grocery store; our current cost for one avocado is $0.60, so I find that incredibly unlikely). The man was stammering at the end of the interaction, which further solidified for me that he was being dishonest. All that to say, you shouldn't support a business who is dishonest about the way they conduct their business, especially when they do so in an economy where people are struggling generally; my recommendation is to give your money to a place that doesn't lie to their customers.

    The reviews are pretty solid but for those who left negative reviews, what the heck are you on…read moreabout? I think that's an English phrase and I needed to try it. Please read it again and imagine me holding an ice-cold pint of beer in a London bar. Moving alone.... I had the BLT Chicken Tacos. I didn't even know such things existed. For $8, I got two tacos and a big bowl of chips. To me, that's pretty good value for lunch. The food was excellent, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was pretty cool. Definitely recommended! Cheers...
