Have been here a few times when I’m in the area and they are both fast and delicious My burger was ready within 10min of placing my online order and they fried my sweet potato fries when I arrived for pick up so that they would be hot and fresh. I always get my burger lettuce wrapped and they never disappoint with the amount of lettuce used. I was also delighted to find picnic tables just off to the side of the parking lot under the shade of some big trees as well as what looked like a small doggy pen. Would definitely recommend!

Very convenient and plenty of parking. I went after lunch hour so there was plenty of room to sit and relax. Great service and a good burger!

Second trip here, and another excellent experience. The food was ready pretty quick, and was absolutely delicious. The Bacon Wrapped Mac & Cheese is awesome (go ahead and get the large, it’s worth it), and the burgers are phenomenal. The first time we went with a small group, and everyone ordered different burgers, and we all left very satisfied. The indoor seating is limited, but there is seating outside available too. You can definitely feel the food truck vibes from their beginnings, and it adds a little to the atmosphere.

Read the previous reviews and thought I was in for a treat. I got the deluxe burger fries and a slider. Fries were good but I couldn’t enjoy the burger because it was a little too close to raw for me. It wasn’t undercooked it was barely cooked. I don’t know why they decided to rush and not cook the patty. For what they charge it should be perfect not questionable. High hopes dashed again. I’m just visiting Durham and good food is hard to get here. Why?

First time to Only Burger and it will definitely be a repeat! I had the Tiki Burger (guac, pineapple salsa, pepper jack cheese on a toasted brioche bun) with a small side of onions rings. The “small” side of onion rings came with five large rings cooked to perfection with a seasoned breading- delish! My husband had the Baja burger (jalapeño slaw, pepper jack cheese, guacamole on a toasted brioche bun) with a side of bacon wrapped cheddar jalapeños. You’ll need a knife to cut your bigger because it’s bigger than your mouth but oh-so good! The staff are chill and friendly. A great vibe for a Durham local favorite!

I love Only Burger for 2 main reasons: THE FRIED PICKLES ARE THE BEST YOU WILL EVER HAVE and the Frito Bandito burger. the fried pickles are prepared with a breading that is thick and stays intact and crispy better than any others. Paired with their spicy mayo and you have a celestial experience my friends. Now the burger….I typically don’t want a burger without lettuce tomatoes and pickles. But the frito bandito is engineered well enough that I don’t need those . It has chili , cheese sauce, guacamole, and Fritos ! Another celestial experience my friends! They have really good house made sauces as well.

I was told by friends that this was a place to eat a really good burger. Now I can recommend this eatery myself! Excellent Mushroom Melt served piping hot with plenty of mushrooms, chopped onions, gooey Swiss cheese, crispy bacon slices, and a giant, juicy beef patty on a warmed bun. Minimal wait time; there was one table left; lots of friendly locals enjoying being out with family and friends.

I took my daughter out to lunch at this restaurant yesterday. I had been there previously and knew how great the burgers were but this was her first time there.
The inside of the restaurant is small with a limited area for dining. There are areas outside for dining, but as it was still chilly outside, we stayed inside. I had good customer service and everyone was friendly and professional.
The burgers at this restaurant are always huge, moist, and seasoned well. They are handmade daily. I decided to try The Good Fella turkey burger instead of the basic turkey burger that I typically get. This burger was even more flavorful than the burger I had the last time I ate at this restaurant. The fried green tomatoes were good as well, but even better with the spicy chipotle ranch sauce. They also have great fries. The fries were cooked well and not soggy.
This is definitely my go-to place whenever I am in the mood for a tasty turkey burger! I will continue to visit this restaurant.

A colleague and I decided to have lunch at Only Burger today. My colleague had eaten there before but this was my first time eating at this restaurant.
There is no dining inside of the restaurant, but there is dining outside. There is dining accommodation for a few people, but not a very large group. The weather was perfect today for outside dining.
Our food came out in a timely manner. Everything was delicious and filling. They really do make great burgers. We both had the turkey burger, which was seasoned well, moist, and had good texture.

My husband and I stopped in on 1/25 while exploring the triangle area after an appointment at Duke. We were impressed by the quality and taste of the burgers. I was particularly impressed by the enormous and delicious tomato slice on my burger. Price point is great considering recent inflation and the quality of food. The fries weren’t really anything special and service was so so. Staff were friendly, but several staff members were just hanging around in the dining area, which is already very limited. Overall, it was a good experience and we’d definitely come back if we were in the mood for burgers.
