Such a great burger!!! It's been my go-to place in Raleigh whenever I want to grab a good burger. Quick service, and it's in the middle of a food hall (Transfer Co. Food Hall) so there's lots of space to sit. I'm never disappointed with the Reaper burger (if you like spice this is a great choice), and I love bringing friends here whenever I get the chance. Even spent a Valentine's Day dinner here, it was great. read more

Haiku: Mama Crow's Burger & Salad Shop Got vegan burger Disappointed soggy fries Cool Transfer Food Hall. --- Located in the Transfer Food Hall, Mama Crow's features a menu of fresh, locally sourced salads, fresh, top-quality burgers, house-made cheeses, and hand-cut fries. I ordered the Superfree Burger, their vegan burger patty made of sweet potatoes, roasted mushrooms, walnuts and seeds; topped with avocado, tomato, mixed greens, onions, and a garlic-tahini dressing. Usually, I'm always excited to try a restaurant's vegan burger, but sad to say, their vegan burger was a bit underwhelming. I felt the patty was on the dry and crumbly side. I also ordered a Kid's Hot Dog meal for my child. The hot dog looked delish, but sadly, the hand-cut fries were soggy, greasy, and dark. I don't know what happened, but it wasn't appetizing. I should have asked the kitchen to make another batch for us. Mama Crow's had so much promise. I'd still come back to give it another try, but I'll order a burger next time. read more

All things were slightly above average. This restaurant stall is located in Transfer Co. The person working the register was pleasant. She answered questions that we had about the menu and gave suggestions. It was a slow Sunday evening and none of the stalls were very busy. We ordered the Reaper Burger, Patty Smash Burger, and Crow fries. Both burgers were good. Smash burger was the best of the two. The toppings were fresh and that's where all of the flavor comes from. The burgers definitely need to be seasoned better. The fries were great. Well seasoned and crispy. It's overpriced as food halls tent to be but one should come with that expectation. Although it was a good experience, I wouldn't go back solely for the food. There are other places in the area with better burgers. The food hall experience and variety is a reason to go. read more

Parking, parking and more parking nightmare. Yep, you guessed it.. parking is somewhat of a pain. But, once you are able to obtain a spot.. This food hall is nice and the outside seating is fantastic and friendly for sure. There are various restaurants and a common location to grab drinks. I want a true fan of the burger or fries though. What captured my attention was its mention and adorable photo in Raleigh Magazines "Best Burgers." The bun looked amazing and I thought- this is a must try! Well, unfortunately the bun was cold as were the fries... Plus, I added charred onions for an extra charge and they forgot those as well. I was able to discover this before leaving - order was take out. The folks there apologized and recooked my order. Just wasn't a fan.. the burger seemed flavorless.. I could only taste the onions and cheese (which were both delicious.) The fries would have been great with some sort of seasoning.. there was what looked like parsley but no robust flavor to me? Don't even believe they were salted? I would recommend giving it a try as they have various burgers and this just may have not been my day to visit- LOL I will personally try it again on a crowded day.. As this day was not. Nice atmosphere and the customer was average. read more

We got the chili burger and it looked very different from the pictures here. I only saw meat and cheese on it. I think maybe the smidgen of Cole slaw ended up in a corner. The bun was also a bit dry. read more

I haven't had a burger in so long so I decided to make it my first meal in this food hall. My burger and fries were made to order! I even got to see the whole process which took less than 10-minutes. The prices are right, especially for a quality burger. I went with the chili burger. It was delicious but nothing that really "WOW'ed" me. The only thing they gave me the "WOW" factor is as the spicy ranch sauce -- now that was good! The fries paired so well with it. Overall, if you're craving a burger, I recommend this place. I look forward to trying other items on the menu. read more

Horrible service at Mama Crows today. The greeting cashier wasn't pleasant. She acted as if everyone was aggravating her by ordering. I was never greeted. I paid $1, and getting barely 2oz of product is really not acceptable. They also gave me the wrong product. When I questioned it, he then gave me less product than the incorrect product and cold fries. I waited over 5 minutes for fries that were sitting there ready. In the meantime, I watched the white male kitchen staff come over to argue with the black male kitchen staff. The whole scene was upsetting. I waited for fresh fries. Trust me, I will not return. I don't recommend anyone else subject themselves yo their customer service either. Update: I tried a fry on my way, leaving. They weren't edible. I went back in and returned them. I definitely will not be coming back. Whole leaving, I saw the white gentleman walking out with the black gentleman, Brandon, continuously having issues with him. Hopefully, he is safe. He shouldn't have to take that type of treatment at work. read more

Located inside the Transfer Food Haul. It was nice supporting this business. Almost all the staff, even the cook, was smiling and welcoming when I approached. The area seems nice and clean. I do recommend the burgers here. Cooked perfectly and was still somewhat juicy with a nice flavor. I had a simple cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato (no bread). I do not recommend the brussels sprouts here. The staff suggested these, but I did not enjoy them. They were fried entirely too much and too crunchy, and I did not enjoy the burnt taste. read more

Food halls are my favorite place to eat and this one was no exception. Covid-19: you can order and pay online. There was no one inside when I went to pickup my food. The back patio was crowded, but there are a few tables out front with no one else around. We ordered a Crow Burger and were not disappointed. If you love smash burgers, you'll love this one. It's thin, juicy, and delicious. It comes with that special sauce that so many burgers do these days (so good). It's really hard to go wrong with any of the restaurants at this food hall. This one is definitely a good stop. read more

Wonderful wonderful a new eatery in Raleigh which allows me to enjoy variety! The sweet potato vegan burger was really good! Lip smacking good. The flavor and texture was on point. The chef salad was excellent my husband who is not a salad lover but eats it for his health, he did not even slow down until the large porch of salad was gone. The dressing was just right and the variety of ingredients allowed him to enjoy this substantial salad without looking for more Thank you for the excellent offerings. I look forward to my next visit to Raleigh and adding Mamas to my must visit list read more

Im a tough burger critic so take this with a grain of salt. We asked the server if they were smash burgers and she said yes but they definitely were not as they had relatively thick patties. Flavor was decent but for the price I would not get again. read more

Had lunch at Mama Crow's for the first time today. I thought they were more of a burger place and didn't know they had such a variety of salads until I looked at the menu. I ordered the kale salad and added grilled chicken. Here's the description: RAISING KALE SALAD: OUR ROASTY SALAD MADE WITH A KALE BASE, ROASTED SEASONAL SQUASH, CHARRED ONIONS, BABY TOMATOES, WATERMELON RADISHES, PICKLED YELLOW BEETS, ALMONDS, PUMPKIN SEEDS, ROOT VEGGIE CHIPS WITH BLACK-GARLIC TAHINI DRESSING. Great portion size, fresh and tasty ingredients. I think if I get it again I would substitute another dressing because the tahini did not have a ton of flavor. I would also like to try some of the other salads -- it was hard to decide! read more

I was SHOCKED at how good their freaking burgers are!!!! They're so amazing that I never actually try their salads but from what I hear they're amazing as well!! Their fries are really good but nothing and I mean NOTHING beats their burger!!! Amazing. read more

BURGER! Meat, cheese, veggies, delicious. That's what you need to know for Mama Crow's. I had my burger in a lettuce wrap and it was a serious effort but it completely collapsed after two bits. That's not their fault. Lettuce just isn't up to the task for this sized patty with fixings. Quality beef, lots of cheese, sauteed onions and sauce. It it all the key requirements for yumminess!

Tried it twice now and their burger is below average. I will trade it for a five guys or burgerfi anyday. There is not a lot of flavor in their burgers and they put too much grease/oil on the burger bun to a point that you can taste it when you take a bite. Not going back again!! read more

It was my first time visiting the transfer co food hall. After wondering around a bit to check out the food options. Stop by Mama Crow's and this was a pretty decent pick! So I went with the patty smash since I love patty melts. Yup you guessed it, I loved this. The double patty was delicious and the cheese pull was awesome! Oh the fries were great too. Please do yourself a favor and grab a bite. read more

Traveled 30 minutes to try this place after seeing a TikTok review. I would have loved to try one of their delicious looking burgers but for some reason no one would take my order. One employee kept pacing back and forth from the front counter to the back mumbling under his breath, while the order chose to ignore me while preparing corn? I stood in line at the register for 10 minutes before leaving. Hopefully I'll get to try a burger next time I come. read more

Worst experience! So slow and my burger was burnt. Order placed 2:41pm on a Sunday which is not to busy but for reason the it took 35 mins for my crow burger and crow fry order. The cook seemed to be distracted. When I got home and bit into it there was a crunch. Fresh toppings with a crunchy burnt burger. read more

Ordered a kids cheeseburger and fries. My kid loved his meal. I tired his fries. They were so good. Crispy on the outside, softer on the inside. Well seasoned. Will be back. read more

Ostensibly a burger place, they do salads as well. I liked mine; it was a tad heavily dressed but the blend of vegetables was appealing and a few notes like fried black-eyed peas made it distinctive. My fries had plenty of salt and a bit of fresh herbs that really tasted strongly. They had a veggie burger option as well. The wheel hasn't been reinvented here, but it's a good food hall place. read more

Best burger in Raleigh. Period. Their service is great, but even if it was bad I'd still come back for their burgers.

BEST SOUL FOOD IN THE WORLD. In the area it is a must try. Service is great and the quality is even better

Hats off to the staff at Mama Crow's! My son ordered a burger and fries from them yesterday, and was disappointed to open up his burger to find cheese on top of it. He hates cheese, so brought it back to ask them to scrape it off, and they very kindly made him a new burger instead. He felt very awkward going up to them to ask for help, and they went out of their way to make him feel comfortable about speaking up. It was a good lesson for him, and I could not be more grateful to the staff of Mama Crow's! When he sat back down with his new burger, it was gone in a minute flat! He said it was one of the best burgers he has ever eaten. He loved the fries as well. He said everything was very fresh and delicious. I'd love to go back there and try a salad, because what they had on display for the salad prep looked amazing. This was our first time to Transfer Food Hall, and we were very impressed! Mama Crow's, we can't wait to come back! read more

Came here with some friends recently to enjoy the Transfer Co. Food Hall fun, and boy were we happy we came here. I had the mushroom burger and crow fries, which were super yummy and filling. The burger wasn't greasy, had a ton of flavor, and I loved that it was served on Texas toast. I'm dying to try the salads, so that will be next on my list. But it's hard to be healthy when those burgers are so good! read more

Holy crow (couldn't resist..) Cheeeesy, i know. Just like their patty smash! So delicious, one of the best patty melts I've had. Everything was so fresh, crispy and flavorful - everything you could have ever wanted in a patty melt! read more

Located at Transfer Co. Food Hall, we decided to go with the pay online and pick-up option which was very easy. Went with Reaper Burger which didn't disappoint! You know a burger is good when it still tastes good by the time you eat it at home. The fries were scarfed down on the way home though! The Reaper burger was great! The reaper sauce, spicy slaw, and pickled jalapeños provided the heat I was craving. The heat didn't overwhelm the burger which can be a tricky tightrope to walk! Can't wait to come back to try another burger and definitely will getting an order of extra fries so I'll have some left over when I get home! read more

I've tried this place a few times and each was a disappointment. My hotdog was burnt. The fries were soggy. I got a salad and half the ingredients were stale. The burger was ok, nothing special. I'm not wasting money on this place again. read more

Worst cheese fries I've ever had had. The burger was okay. It's also overpriced. I had a bacon burger and cheese fries and it came out to almost $24 read more

In the Transfer Co. Food Hall, a food court for local craft eateries. This is possibly the best burger I've ever eaten. I was in Raleigh with two small children for a car show and wanted a burger. The reviews looked good so I figured I would give it a shot. I loved it! My kids loved it! The juicy not greasy hand-formed, locally-sourced patties are complemented by the equally-fresh toppings. Everything was so good, I didn't even put condiments on it. My kids don't normally finish their burgers, but they devoured the generously-sized kids burgers. The Crow Fries were flavorful, crisp and satisfying. If you don't mind the chaos of the food hall, this is a fantastic spot. There is dedicated and street parking available. read more

A primo de primo burger and salad stand. Those two usually don't go together - and I ate off the salad side. But I was totally impressed. Imagine a fruit salad with mostly greens and a fine vinaigrette, just enough fruit and just enough of a variety of fruits to present a constant element of surprise - and some hot sauce packed away in there to wake you up just when you thought you understood the world. Beats berries and pineapple cubes any day of the week. And just for the record, The Transfer Food Court where Mama Crow's is located is absolutely coolness on rockets. I wanted lunch at all ten locations simultaneously, even though I was ecstatic with my salad. Sign me up for a lifetime subscription to this place. read more

Went here yesterday and I really enjoyed it! They have tons of toppings for salads. The line moved quickly, I actually tried a burger. The burger was greasy but that's the way burgers should be. It seemed like they used quality ingredients. The burger seemed like a good value for the price. As all their man burgers had double patties. Overall this was a good burger place and I will definitely come back and try the salads! read more

Mama Crows has an expansive amount of fresh options for salads and burgers and I was honestly overwhelmed by all of the choices that they had. I went with the standard Crow burger which is a double of diner thin burger patties. The sauce seemed similar to a thousand island and it was really good. Would definitely come back to try some of the other options like a patty melt. Burger came out super fast as well and was cooked fresh to order on the flat top grill. read more

Ummm yes!! I've been waiting for Mama Crow's to open and they did not disappoint! Such and interesting combo of things, burgers AND salads. I went for the burger and maybe I'll try the salads one day. It's going to be hard because the burger was delicious. Like burger juice running down your arm to your elbow delicious. The patties are the thin free form patties that I love and they load them up on the burger. I went for the original crow burger which included caramelized onions, cheese, pickles, and tasty sauce. It was perfect and just the classic type of burger that I love. I added fries to my burger and you get wayyy too many. They were tasty though, hot, crisp, and perfectly seasoned. Transfer Food Hall has so many delicious options it's hard to chose when you walk in there. If you are in the mood for a burger head over to Mama Crow's right now, you won't be disappointed! read more

I had lunch here yesterday and my salad was sooooo good! They have salads that are already created and named. But I chose the build your own salad option and they have a myriad of unique items to choose from including peaches, watermelon, roasted broccoli, and sweet potatoes! There are also lots of salad dressing options like goat cheese dressing, a lemon herb vinaigrette, and about seven more to choose from. Everything is prepared right in front of you so you can see that they are handling things in a clean manner. The place is spotless and everything tastes incredibly fresh. This beats the other two salad places I frequent, hands down. They also have burgers and they have a veggie burger too but I didn't try it this time. It's only a short walk from Moore Square, probably about three blocks so it's super convenient to walk to if you work downtown. It's inside the transfer co. food hall so there are lots of other options to choose from if you're not sure what you are in the mood to eat or if you're dining with picky eaters. Other choices in the food hall include Indian food, Mexican food, Korean food, a bagel shop, an oyster bar, and an empanada shop so there's something for everyone and ample seating to enjoy. I definitely recommend this place! read more

I've been to Mama Crow's nest (which is located inside a food hall) two times. The first time was this past summer, when I ordered the kale salad. I wasn't that impressed with it, to be honest. It was a decent size, but it had a very strange flavor profile. I couldn't quite put my finger on what was wrong . But the salad rated about 2.5 stars overall -- and that's definitely being generous. Notwithstanding my lackluster first visit, I'm glad I visited again this week -- this time trying a burger instead of a salad. I had a hamburger with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, ketchup, and mustard. It was delicious! It reminded me of a Five Guys burger -- but better! Not only was the burger tasty, but everyone working that night (from the lady who took my order to the young guy on the grill, etc.) was very friendly and helpful. So I can confidently say that I now rate this place a solid 4 stars. Some menu items may be hit or miss. But you should enjoy the "hits" when you find them! read more

They're really doing a disservice to the original Mama Crow, because this food was practically inedible. I'm a big kale fan, but the kale salad was terrible. "Baby tomatoes" are just chunks of underripe beefsteak tomatoes. The dressing was really bitter and was not a good pairing with the naturally bitter kale. I discovered all the roasted onions in a lump at the bottom of my salad as I went to toss it. More than three fourths of the salad fed the landfill today. The fries were very greasy and overdone, and not even my toddler would touch them after one bite. And my husband said his burger was below average. What a disappointing lunch! read more

I'm a HUGE burger fan and although I don't like to put down any restaurants, I will just suggest that you save your money or go somewhere else! The burgers are flavorless and thin as paper, I will say the fries were good! read more

Two stars because I've liked Mama Crows since they opened but it seems to be going downhill recently. We just paid over $45 for a burger, fries, salad and extra dressing. They said they were out of multiple items (corn, bacon and the dressing) for the salad so we asked to switch to another burger but they refused, stating they already made the salad. If you don't have the ingredients to make that salad, you didn't make the salad. Instead they just changed it to ranch dressing and said here you go. That wouldn't bother me in itself but I also got a burger that was completely falling apart in its wrapper and was undercooked. It seemed like they were in a rush to close, which is weird because they took 3 orders in front of us, don't close until 9 today, and we ordered around 7:45 or so. I unfortunately will not be coming back anytime soon, as I used to recommend Mama Crow's to everyone around transfer. read more
