I crave their chili dogs--fully loaded, of course. That famous chili recipe? Absolutely unmatched. Don't sleep on the crispy potato wedges either--they're the perfect sidekick. And if hot dogs aren't your thing, no worries--they also make a killer chili cheeseburger, or you can try their fried bologna or fish sandwich. It's a no-frills kind of place, and that's part of the charm. Grab your lunch and eat at the shaded stand-up area outside, or post up in your car for the full experience. Heads up--it's cash only, but don't worry, there's an ATM on-site if you need it. Everyone is always so nice and helpful as well! Simple, iconic, and always worth the stop.

The burger was very generous, perfectly cooked, enough of all the different layered ingredients - it wasn't overpowering, the flavors just complimented each other. The onion rings were excellent! Homemade as you can tell from the pictures, they will heat up nicely in the air fryer tomorrow when I have lunch. It was my first time ordering, and I definitely will order from them again! For me.

The servers were also very nice and friendly. However, a few things held the experience back: Atmosphere & Layout: First, don't let the name fool you--it's not actually a drive-in. Walking into the lobby, I was hit with a stale, dank, musty smell, which seemed to be coming from the restrooms located right at the front entrance. The waiting bench was cluttered with high piles of boxes, which didn't make the best first impression, and the hand towel dispenser in the ladies' room was out of order. The Food: I paid $11 for five skinny, dry wings paired with a watery blue cheese dressing. For "jumbo" wings, they were pretty mid. The menu overall feels like it could use an upgrade (Bad Daddy's Burgers right across the street sets a much better benchmark for this type of casual spot burger). The staff and the playlist were fun, but between the lacking atmosphere and disappointing food, it falls right in the middle for me.

They both were tasty. The hot dog was big and juicy and well dressed. They air fry all their traditionally fried. That's probably my only complaint. I prefer fried food to be fried in oil, but that's my preference. We also tried the brisket and pulled chicken (sorry I forgot to take a picture). They were also good. Everything was served hot and fresh. I'm a condiment girl and they have five bbq sauces: Original, Mississippi, Kansas, Memphis, and Sweet and Tangy. We actually liked all of them between the two of us. Here are a few more highlights and reasons for you to stop in and check them out. 1. Plenty of parking including a ramp for accessibility. 2. They have Ax Throwing. It's not traditional axe throwing, they use a screen. They also have other fun games including Tic-Tac-Toe and a Candy Crush like game. It's also affordable. It was $10 per person/hr. We stopped in on a Monday afternoon before 5:00pm. 3. They have a few fun things on their menu including corn nuggets, fried pickles, pineapple upside down cake, and a sampler where you can try a little bit of everything. 4. The staff (Ron and Shawn) was very friendly and thoroughly explained the menu. They also chatted with us since they were not too busy and made sure we had all we needed to enjoy our meal. 5. They have over 20 taps with a variety of beer. They also have beer specials during football season. Stop in and visit Crave for a taste of Carolina and a little family fun.

It's a waste of time to order a burger with the toppings you want as after several visits my toppings were wrong all but once. Fries are good and most of the time hot but portions aren't consistent. I will order a large fry and most of the time they give me a regular size fry even though I paid for a large. Several times I pointed this out to the manager who is really nice unless shes having a bad day. Then she hardly speaks and if you point out the tiny portion she doesn't care. Bottom line you are paying a premium for food that is hit or miss at a place where their staff don't seem to care and management only cares if they are having a great day.

Crispy just how I like them. The cashier wasn't very friendly, but maybe they were just having a bad day. Still, if I tell you it's my first time there, I'd think that's an opportunity to explain the menu or how the burgers work. Instead, I just ended up saying, "Give me a bacon cheeseburger." Now, the young woman who brought out my food had great customer service, so again, maybe the cashier was just off that day. As for the burger itself, it was way too salty for my taste. They do have some pretty good juices that I think are made in-house, which was a plus. But overall, the prices didn't feel worth it to me. I honestly could've gone to Chili's, gotten a better burger and an appetizer, and still spent about $8 less. I probably won't be back unless someone convinces me I just caught them on a bad day.

It's actually very close to my office in Charlotte and I was super excited to try it. Went today. I ordered ahead and they kept me updated via text message on my order. I ordered the Crunch Burger and the Buttermilk Onion Rings. Came out right on time. Super friendly pick up too. Great staff. I wasn't pulled out of the parking lot before shoving an onion ring in my mouth and all I can say is OMG. First of all the batter.....it's all about the batter. I'm usually a beer batter onion ring kinda gal but this buttermilk batter was seasoned with lots of black pepper and was actually stuck onto the onion quite well which anyone who has ever attempted to make onion rings at home knows.....it's hard to do. The crunch burger was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. It's now my new favorite burger. Crunchy potato chips with the Bobby's sauce were pure heaven. I am in love with this burger. I always found Bobby's restaurants to be heavy with chipotle peppers and heat. I wasn't sure he could elevate a burger without overdoing it. Forgive me Mr. Flay for having doubted you. You took the American burger to the next level!!!!! You kept it simple and delicious. I can honestly say it's the best burger I have ever had. Bobby Flay is a genius. He managed to ELEVATE the fast food burger and create a unique experience. I'm already looking at the menu for the next burger I plan to try. Well done Mr Fkay......see you at the races!
