    I haven't had Chargrill in almost a decade ! The burger was just as good as I remember . It's the chargrill taste for me . The other menu items like the fries and onion rings are good but it's the burger that is the star of the show here . The first time I tried Chargrill was at the original restaurant location in downtown Raleigh . Total retro vibes here as it appeared it never updated its drive in style , car hop , outdoor/car dining only . At the time you had to walk up to the order window and write down your order on a piece of paper and slip it thru the window . The location in Benson is modernized while still paying homage to its original Raleigh location with vintage photos and retro decor . The indoor dining is certainly appreciated on hot summer days. I don't live in NC but will make a point to go back just for the Chargrill burger !

    On the drive from FL to MD there are gonna be stops for food and fuel. One of these stops landed me at this spot that I had never heard of. It didn't look like much, but it seemed like a spot where the locals would eat, so y not? Glad I did. The flame is the trick. Great burgers and shakes.

    Love this place, it is only a couple of exits up the freeway, they always have nice people working in there, The food is alway freshly made. the fried are really good like the kind Wendy's used to have. The prices are ok. Their hours are good too. I always het the long burger on a homie type bun. they let you chose your toppings so special orders are never a problem. Try their fried apple pies, they are good,

    Just a stop to get some gas and my husband and our friends saw this close by. It's by the gas station (NOT next to it). The place is clean and the service was quick. The food ended up being REALLY good and just simple. I got the cheeseburger with everything and my husband got the steak burger. The fries were crispy and drinks were good. I have to admit that the steak burger was actually A LOT better than the regular burgers. The flavor was a much flavory and the meat was more tender and juicy. I would highly recommend the steak burger and I would most likely come back again whenever I visit my friend in NC.

    A fair overall 4.5 stars. I will up it to a five based on it being seemingly more personal. I kind of stumbled upon Char-Grill because I wanted to dine in and finding/supporting a restaurant with dine-in is far and few in between nowadays. Nevertheless, I found this place and called ahead to confirm. The employees were friendly, helpful, and prompt. They did forget one milkshake, but made it up and even gave an upgrade for the inconvenience! Now that's great customer service! The food was pretty good, although I wish the fries weren't so comparable to Burger King. The fries were still tasty, though (unlike American BK). The dining area was clean well designed. I would definitely consider stopping by again and would recommend this place to others.

    The best fries!!!

    Great Burgers and good service. Better than typical fast food burgers. I have stopped twice on way to the coast and I will stop again.

Lively atmosphere and gets very busy. 1/2 rack ribs with a slight crust exterior, tender and smokey, seasoned perfectly. Smoked turkey breast was MOIST with the perfect amount of smoke. Stand out sauces were the Eastern & the Hot. Loaded baked potato w sharp cheddar sauce, beef brisket, topped with house made fried onion rings. And not to be missed is their next level fresh banana pudding. Made with care and fresh ingredients, was divine. Everything was delicious and exceeded our expectations in this famous land of BBQ. Although conveniently just off the I-95, plan for around an hour to dine. Ample parking. Two picnic tables outside. Drive-through.

The taco seasoning on my small slice of meatloaf was odd and really out of place in a BBQ restaurant. I wouldn't order this again, even if it would come out of the kitchen hot and fresh. My BBQ boiled potatoes were also leftovers from the 'frig. I don't think the kitchen even tried to warm them before serving my potatoes as they were just cold. If these had been served hot or at least warmed, I think they would have been good, leftovers or not. The restaurant was also freezing cold inside. Despite the outdoor temperature being in the low-50s, the air conditioner was cranked up necessitating wearing my coat during my stay in the restaurant. After taking my order, I didn't see the server again until she dropped off the check. Today's meal really illustrates a failure in the management of this Daddy D's BBQ. Two stars is a very generous rating.
