C “GreyWolff” Stout
Good food. I was able to have chicken instead of burger, which made me very happy. Good taste. French fries with the rosemary was a nice addition. Hubby had a burger and was happy. It was cooked well but not over done. Absolutely worth the trip.

I love Al’s burger shack! Anytime I get to Chapel Hill I stop in for a burger and tater tots. The burgers there are so delicious and the tater tots are crisp and crunchy. Today I got the chili burger and it was fantastic. I’m honestly glad that they aren’t around the corner from me or I would be there every day.

Amazing – took our family there on Saturday night and it was truly 5 stars. Simple, outdoor seating overlooking Franklin Street, affordably priced and probably the best tasting cheeseburger I’ve ever had. Staff was pleasant and helpful. There are speciality burgers that I’ll try next time. A must-visit spot for burger lovers!

The classic burger was great. The ingredients tasted very fresh and the meat was well seasoned and cooked. The sauce on the burger was great and the fries are okay but they have a nice seasoning on them. The service was very fast and the customer service was very nice and done with a smile.

A hometown classic! The service was awesome and the food was delicious! Service was prompt and the staff was friendly!
I’m not sure about handicap accessibility. The restaurant is small but there is an outside patio with a nice amount of seating.
Parking is limited but it’s on the bus line.
Kid friendly and family approved. Also good for a lunch date or meet up with friends!

I love a good burger. This was way better than good. The Mookie Burger was 10/10 and the tots were amazing. I’m usually not a fan of crinkle cut fries, but, these are different… would definitely order again. They have a nice selection of dipping sauces too. We tried the Garlic Aoli and the Spicy Ranch, both were fantastic. Super friendly staff, great atmosphere, and superior food made this a great experience. We will be back!

I’m stuck in the hospital and they won’t let me downstairs. I gambled a $50 DoorDash order to see if they would bring it to the 4th at Duke for a $60 tip. I had to briefly talk the security guard into letting it go down, but my man came through. This is the single finest cheeseburger I’ve ever had. Thank you Al!! And thank you Darion for getting the damn thing done.

I love this restaurant’s atmosphere and food!!! From walking in and being greeted by the friendly staff to watching how much they put into hand crafting each burger. You can tell they really love and care about their quality customer experience. The chili cheese burger is excellent and the crinkle fries had the perfect texture and bite. Portions are generous so you can be sure to get full or share sides with your friends. The relaxed beach vibe is accompanied by a tin roof bar to catch a beer with a friend. I look forward to seeing other locations open around the triangle!!!

Everything about Al’s Burger Shack is top notch! If you want to enjoy excellent burgers in Chapel Hill / Carrboro with friendly service and a relaxed and fun atmosphere head to Al’s on Franklin. There is also a location in Southern Village, but I’ve never gone there, so I can’t comment on that.
