Menu Highlights

1/2 Lb Hamburger Steak Sandwich
An eight-ounce beef patty is grilled over an open flame and served on a sesame-seed bun with customizable toppings. Smoky, juicy, and substantial, it is officially described as the burger Char-Grill is famous for.

Double Cheeseburger
Two charcoal-grilled patties are layered with American cheese for a rich combination of smoky beef, melted cheese, and soft bun. Its extra heft makes it an appealing choice for bigger appetites.

North Carolina Hot Dog
A classic red beef-and-pork hot dog comes on a soft bun with toppings chosen to taste. The traditional Carolina-style character and customizable finish make it one of the menu’s enduring staples.

Bar-B-Que Sandwich
Four ounces of vinegar-based pulled pork are piled onto a bun for a tangy, savory taste of North Carolina barbecue. Its bright acidity provides a flavorful alternative to the richer charcoal-grilled burgers.

Grilled Chicken Sandwich
A four-ounce chicken breast is cooked over an open flame, giving the tender meat a gently smoky exterior. Customizable toppings and leaner protein make it a lighter counterpart to the signature beef burgers.

French Fries
Golden, crisp fries provide the classic salty crunch that completes Char-Grill’s backyard-cookout style meals. They are a natural companion to burgers, barbecue, or hot dogs and remain prominently featured on the menu.

Zebra Shake
This thick shake blends chocolate and vanilla into a creamy black-and-white treat. Its combination of two classic flavors makes it an especially fitting finish after a smoky charcoal-grilled meal.
