QueenBurger

Well flavored and seasoned smash burgers in a fun, clean, modern, atmosphere. Very fast and flavorful! The seasoned tots were amazing! Plenty of indoor seating. Wheelchair accessible, clean bathrooms with a changing table. Parking on the street is usually easy. Perfect stop before or after the Bulls game!

One of the best, actually smashed burgers in the area! The spicy burger was very flavorful and the fried onions contrasted well. The fries and tater tots were both heavily seasoned. Overall, it was worth the drive!

First time eating here and most definitely off my return list. The reviews were so good I had to try these burgers. My best guess is that the people who gave those reviews like pickled tasting mushy onions on soaking wet rolls and hard skinny French fries that were non consumable. I think what was more interesting was that there was only one table eating when I came in to place my order. Considering this place is in the center of Duke Campus 🤔 you would think they would be busy around 2 pm on a Saturday afternoon.

The double burger was great although definitely on the small side. The fire tots were…🔥 I’ll definitely be back, but better prepared for the “large slider” size of the burgers.

Had the spicy burger, bacon burger and an order of the cheese fries. Absolutely loved all of them. The spicy burger has a tangy taste and lots of crunch to it. The bacon burger is loaded with hoop cheese. The fries were cut nice and thin and had TONS of flavor. As for the drinks, definitely get a frozé. They don't seem strong, but they creep up on you lol. Update 12/29/24: came back and had fries with cheese, fire fries and tater tots. Once again, delicious food and flawless service.

What a delightful experience! We went on a Wednesday afternoon, around 5PM, right before a Bulls game and another event. Not crowded at all. We ordered two spicy style smash burgers with jalapenos and made it a combo (includes any burger, side and drink) for a few more bucks. We got spicy fries and fried pickles with zesty ranch. The soda fountain was kind of flat but the sweet tea was on point. We waited about 8-10 minutes with no other customers in the dining room. Service was quick and hospitable. Now for the food... Y'all, the smash burgers were hot, juicy, and delicious. I would have preferred more cheese next time but it was still smackin. The edges were crispy and it was seasoned to perfection. The grilled jalapenos also added a nice texture change and were good. The shoestring fries are seasoned incredibly. The fried pickles were a bit drenched in oil and that made the breading to slide off but the overall taste was really good with the zesty ranch sauce. I wouldn't get this as a standalone side but good for a combo. Overall, if you're looking for good smash burgers you can't go wrong coming here. Good value, great food. Will be back for sure to try the chili and slaw burger!

I ordered 15 meals. The staff absolutely nailed the order! I was so impressed ❤️ This drink is called a Hurricane

It was a crazy day on 4th of July with a baseball game and extra traffic for the fireworks but they handled the rush like champs!!!!! The atmosphere was nice and inviting and although crowded people were constantly checking in on the diners. The food came out relatively quickly and was a delight

Wow. I had a spicy burger and spicy fries with cheese. Wow. It's good. Really good. My host, Badr, gave me some great recommendations. I drank a freshly squeezed lemonade and was almost done with it before I walked back outside to the frigid weather. (What's the windchill here? #Burr). I asked for some more lemonade and unfortunately, no free refills BUT look on the bright side - I made a new concoction: QB Lemonade, Sprite, Orange Soda (cause welcome to GOOD BURGERs need love too). I didn't eat there, but it seems like a cool spot to relax and eat. I opted to take the food to my Telly and tell it to get in my belly. The cheese fries were great. Skinny but with the cheese sauce and Cajun seasoning, it's just what I needed. Then back to the burger. It's medium sized with amazing jalapeños (jajajaja - how my mouth felt after a few bites). Only thing I wish I had was more burger, but that could just be me being gluttonous. I just put the final bite away and I already miss it. Do I have a problem? Btw - I don't this often so yeah. Go to QB. Tell them you read this and became a believer. I'm going to take a nap. I'll be back this week for the ice cream cookies. Or the pumpkin pie shake next door.

There's several things I like about Queeny's. I've been here multiple times. Here is my list of pros: 1. Food is delicious. I've tried several things on the menu. It's probably one of the best burgers I've had in Durham. 2. Cool ambiance 3. Kind and quick service Here are my cons: 1. It's usually pretty loud inside. So that makes it difficult to talk. 2. When you order a beer, you don't get a regular sized beer like everywhere else in Durham. But they charge the same price as everyone else who gives a regular sized beer. 3. It's pretty expensive. We didn't grab much for dinner and spent $55.

Was in town and found this place. The Classic Burger was good, not overcooked and plenty of flavor. Not an overly huge bun either which was great. Fries were the "skinny" type but were crispy and fresh. Used the zesty ranch sauce for dipping and was a great blend. I would definitely buy a burger and fries here again.

Queen Burger is a nice American option I the downtown durham area. I got the double smash and regular fries. The fries are shoestring fries are were pretty good thin, crunchy and lightly salted. For 8.50 the double smash was fairly bland. I know it doesn't come with extra toppings but without them I feel like it really didn't stand out. If I'd go again I recommend another option or adding some extras to the double smash.

This is one of my favorite burger spots in Durham. The service is always quick and friendly, and the atmosphere is casual and fun. I've enjoyed the vegetarian burger in many variations, and I highly recommend adding their Carolina coleslaw. Don't miss the tater tots with fire spice - they're a must-try!

North Carolina grass-fed beef smash burgers just a hop, skip, and jump from the Durham Bulls baseball stadium is a must stop for burger lovers. I've enjoyed the Classic and the Spicy burgers because of their "hot off the grill" freshness and all around good taste. I love the crunchiness and special sauce. Both Shoestring fries and Tater Tots are solid. And fresh. A veggie and vegan burger and chicken tenders are also on the menu. Beverages include Coke brand fountain drinks, lemonade, cucumber thyme cooler, assorted cocktails, and frozen adult drinks. Ice cream sandwiches from locally owned Rose's can be enjoyed afterward or before. Seating is available both inside and outside. The wait time is worthwhile since each order is made fresh. I'm looking forward to my next visit to a Bulls game!

Great food! I had the Classic Smash Burger and my husband had the Spicy. We ordered regular fries and the spicy fries, the spicy were our favorite but the regular were great too. My husband is particular with smash burgers... he says "just because you smash a burger doesn't make it a smash burger" but he gave these his approval said they are in fact Smash Burgers. We stopped by on a Sunday around 11:30 so there was plenty of seating both inside and outside. I think their brand colors are on point and recognizable if they were to have a food truck or food booth somewhere else, you'd know how to find them.

If you are going to a baseball game, a show at the DPAC or just hanging out around Tobacco Road! Go grab a burger from QueenBurger! The burgers are fresh and flavorful!( don't be fooled by the photo it's ugly on the outside but tasty from start to finish) get extra sauce on the side so you can dip your burger! Tots and fries are also delicious get Cajun it's not spicy it's just a seasoning! Oh and they have cocktails... the hurricane was on point!!

Was in the area and found this delicious burger spot. We got a double cheeseburgers with hop cheese and it was so good. The fries were delicious too. The team was kind and friendly, and the place was eclectic and clean. We will definitely be back.

Hamburgers were generously sized, well spiced, perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The extra ingredients such as bacon and jalapeños were generously heaped on. Fries were crispy and the well seasoned (Cajun) and generously sized. The servers and service was great. The ambiance was ok, a little dim, and the chairs and tables and little flimsy. I am definitely going to come back!

First time here as we wanted a short order burger joint. The menu is simple which is kind of refreshing. But they have enough to get you want you want and to satisfy your burger craving. We ordered a Classic and a Spicy burger. The classic was just that a charbroiled burger with your normal toppings/fixings. The Spicy on the other hand was a pleasant surprise. They add these crispy spicy chip style topping which is such an awesome touch. I must admit they make something called Spicy that is actually spicy... THANK YOU!!! The ambiance is modern, clean and has a modern vibe. The sell alcohol and some other drinks too. Cool place, I'd come back in the future.

Hands down my favorite burger in Durham! Those sea salt tots are pretty darn good too. Perfect spot for a quick lunch or dinner.

One of my top 2 veggie burgers in Durham. This is my new go to quick burger. The hoop cheese and onions topped onto the veggie patty was mouth- melting. My only regret is not getting the fries, we got fried pickles which were just ok. The restaurant is cute and small, service was fast.

I was really looking forward to trying these burgers that I had seen everywhere but surprisingly, I was not a fan. I will say the location is nice, located next to the Tobacco Campus and Durham Bulls Stadium. You can take a walk around the area or try some other spots downtown while you're at it. You will have to find street parking as there is no parking lot. They play good music in the restaurant and it is always pretty lively inside every time I pass by. The service was also super quick, and the staff was friendly. There aren't any shakes but they have lemonade, fountain drinks, and beers in the fridge. They have shoestring fries in spicy (just cajun seasoning, not spicy), sea salt, or cheesy. They have a few burger options and you can add a few toppings to it. Okay now back to the burger- I would rate it a 6/10. It was a smash burger with the cheese melted perfectly, but it had no flavor. The patty was not juicy at all and just tasted like a dry thin smashed patty. We all got double burgers and none of us were satisfied. I was actually shocked I felt this way because I love a good juicy smash burger.

Best smash burger I have ever had! The fries are shoestring and delicious. I definitely recommend this place!

I cannot speak highly enough about Queenburger. We drove from Wilmington to Raleigh to catch a playoff Hurricanes game and we stayed in a hotel in Durham. Queenburger was at the bottom of our hotel and we were in a rush so our decision making was utlra simplified by timeliness...... We made the right decision. Simple as that. Their team was gracious, quick and the food was DELICIOUS. I also found a new beer that's become a staple selection in my craft beer buying Edmund Oast's Something Cold.

Pretty good spot! I will for sure go back, fries were skinny shoe string style also very tasty. My wife didn't like it as much as me but I think it's worth a visit if you like smash burgers. Almost a little thicker than some smash burgers I've tried before, but love that it's local beef and cheese.

Had their vegan burger and some fries. It was okay. The patty was unique. The fries were meh. Not really much to them, I like my fries a bit thicker. The service was nice. I ordered online and picked it up. Overall the food was 5/10. I can't remember the price but I know it was a pricy.

For first time, we came in and got the kids burger and regular fries with the fire spice and we are excited to try it out. Great ambience customer service was amazing. They're very nice and we highly recommend when we come back. I want the frozen, which is a rosé wine I hear it's highly recommended. They have very good food.in QueenButget

Amazing staff and ambiance with beautiful indoor and outdoor areas. A great place for a nice, juicy greasy burger and the fries servings are huge! Also a cool spot to grab a drink with friends

First time trying this place today before heading to see MJ at DPAC. Halloween decor was on point so you get my business right away for that. The staff was incredibly friendly and the ordering process was simple. They brought us our food and it was delicious. I just got the regular burger but added jalapeños and a side of fries. I did even get wild and crazy and order a fromosa. Like a frozen mimosa, so tasty. Would definitely come back. The place isn't super big but they have outdoor seating as well. Great place!! Definitely give it a try!

I love QB so so so so much. I first tried them back in 2020 during their pop-up days and instantly fell in love with their incredible smashburgers. My go-to order is the classic burger and a side of the sea salt fries with a side of their zesty ranch. The restaurant itself is very cute and has lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely recommend checking out when you are in downtown Durham!

The service was great and the burger and fries were amazing!! There was only one burger on the menu and it was created perfectly! I can't wait to go back and try their pizzas.

Was looking for something to eat before a comedy show and was so happy I tried this place! Not only is it close to DPAC, but so good and serves beer! Walking in there a limited (but great menu) it was simple ordering and such nice staff. They have the best spicy fries, literally could not get enough and the beef in the burgers is fresh! It's decently priced and when we go back to Durham, I will be stopping here again.

Queenburger, wow, yummy wow, so delicious! I am only sad because I did not come here sooner! I've passed the sign so many times so I am glad that I came by. It was a sweet spot right after lunch and right before dinner, so I was the only one in the restaurant. The staff were very friendly and understanding that it was my first time there. I decided on the classic burger with extra pickles. All of their burgers are well done and smashed. And wow, wow, the crispness, juiciness, and a hint of chargrill made the burger pop. Their sauce had a nice hint of spice and made me want to keep eating and eating--I managed to save half and eat the rest of it as I drove home. You know a burger is good when it is still good cold and this was a good cold burger! I hung out at Queenburger for about an hour before leaving and absolutely loved the music. They had an awesome mix of JT, Dua Lipa, Gaga, and so many other good artist! If I could've stayed just to listen to the music I would've. Great jams! I will be back for a drink and fries and they looked and sounded so good!

Food was delicious ! The service was fast and questions were answered in detail. Had the double with bbq sauce. The bbq sauce. Divine. The spicy fries were good. A bit too salty for me but overall very tasty. I could eat the brown sugar ice scream sandwich forever. Not too sweet at all. 4.7 stars

Ordered their smashed veggie burger to go and loved it! Was able to order online which was super convenient and it was ready quite quickly. Great space to eat inside and they also sell Rose's ice cream sandwiches!

This place is so good. The cheeseburgers melt in your mouth. The cocktails are really weak but that's kind of what you get at a counter service restaurant. That's said the burgers are so good that it's worth it.

One of the better burgers (let alone gluten free burgers) I've had in North Carolina. Simple smash burgers done well! I enjoyed the spicy burger in particular. Fries are also done well, and service is quick and friendly. Highly recommend!

Visiting for the weekend and was recommended this place from a wine tasting shop nearby. Pleasantly surprised Food: amazing burger and great fries (Cajun can get spicy after few bites). The menu is very minimal but everything they are doing they are doing right. I had the junior classic and was not disappointed. Tried my partners veggie burger which was also very good (not your traditional beyond pattie) they serve beer too! Price: can't go wrong. Felt like I was paying fast food prices for way better taste and quality Ambiance: nice music and decor. Bathrooms are clean. Upscale fast food joint feel Service: great service friendly manager that checked tables. Cashier was great with recommendations and patient with us first timers. Will be returning to try something from the drink menu!

QueenBurger is a must visit if you are in Durham. I ordered a thyme vodka lemonade and the classic smash burger (no pickles) with a side of fries. It was all delicious.

Man let me tell you.....the spicy smash burger was All That, and I ain't talking bout the Nickelodeon show!! Wasn't too spicy, so you got the individual tastes from the bacon I added, the hamburger, and the pickles. Don't forget to add them sea salt fries. My only down side, is I wish the burger was a bit bigger. Highly recommend to anybody in the Durham area

Was a great burger. The garage door was open so it was a great afternoon. Parking was a bit rough, but expected. Fries weren't my favorite, so will try tots next time. Will be back.

QueenBurger opened not long after I left Durham and I've been wanting to go since. I took the opportunity on a recent visit to the area and it was an absolute delight. The star of the show was undoubtedly their delicious smash burger with bacon. The patty was perfectly smashed, creating a crispy exterior while retaining its juicy goodness on the inside. Each bite was an explosion of flavor, with the savory bacon adding an extra layer of deliciousness. So so good. Not to be overshadowed, the shoestring fries at QueenBurger were exceptional. Crispy, golden, and oh-so-addictive, they complemented the burger perfectly. The thin cut allowed for a delightful crunch with each bite, while the fluffy interior melted in my mouth. The fries were seasoned to perfection, adding just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the natural taste of the potatoes. To quench my thirst, I opted for the thyme vodka lemonade--a unique and refreshing beverage that I can't stop raving about. It was a creative twist on a classic drink, and the thyme added a subtle herbal note that elevated the overall experience. Sipping on this while enjoying my burger and fries was the perfect way to cool down on a warm day. With its cool location near the ballpark, QueenBurger offers not only fantastic food but also a great atmosphere. The vibrant energy of the area enhances the dining experience, making it an ideal spot to grab a bite before or after a game. The staff members were friendly and attentive, making it a must-visit destination for burger enthusiasts in Durham, NC.

Food was really good! Service was okay. It's an open air seating establishment, so that was kind of nice, considering it was a beautiful day out. I would definitely return for another delicious burger at Queen Burger.

That's a good cheeseburger. Way better than alley 26. Not my absolute favorite in the area (Al's is), but definitely in my top 3 burgers in the RTP area! Fast service and reasonable pricing. Outdoor and indoor seatings available.

We received slow poor service with no apologies. I waited an hour for food. I told the server my food hadn't come out yet but nothing was done. She just never came back to our table. I had to go to the register twice to ask where my food was. When finally got my meal it was bland. It was a frustrating experience all around.

Fantastic! My family and I stopped by for the first time last week, and everything was delicious! Burgers, Fries and Tots were spot on! Environment was fun and customer service was just as good! We'll be back for sure!

The fries. Get the fries, spicy if you like that. They came out hot and crispy and are among the better fries in the area. The seasoning bears a strong resemblance to Old Bay with the addition of some extra cayenne and a bit of sugar. The large is very large, enough for 3-4 people easily. Everything else was kind of "meh." The burgers are fine, nothing memorable at all except for maybe how greasy they are. Having the provenance of nearly every ingredient repeatedly pushed at you made it feel a bit like Portlandia redux or the Restaurant at the End of the Universe (IYKYK). If you really like smash burgers, Johnson's in Siler City is much, much better. The room is noisy and crowded and other than a new paint job, hasn't changed much since it's previous incarnation as Only Burger and the staff is polite enough. It's cheaper and better tasting than the DBAP concessions but I don't see coming here unless I'm headed to a Bulls game.

If you love burgers, this place is spot on!!! Service is outstanding. Burger was made with love passion. And your oder comes up quick. I could eat my weight in these burgers. They have beer and cocktails and regular soda drinks. Music os great in here also.

This was a disappointing experience... maybe because it was takeout. The burger was extremely soggy and the buns basically melted into the burger. You can see from the picture just how flat that burger bun is. Meat was kinda thin and dry too... I was so sad. The cheese sauce on the fries were soooo thick that it made it hard to eat the fries. Also the fries were very salty and honestly would've been better without the added THICCC cheese sauce. Taste: 2/5 Presentation: 2/5 Recommend to a friend?: no Consistent: 1st time, probably won't give this another try Cost: $ Parking: plenty of parking nearby if you're willing to take a short 1-2 min walk.

I stopped in QueenBurger for a late-ish lunch. They are located right beside the DBAP. It is a relatively small place with counter service. They offer "smash burgers" and have a limited menu. I ordered their classic burger with small fries and a drink. The price came to $18 before tip so they are at the higher level of burger options when it comes to price. The burger was really good! Pretty messy though so make sure you have plenty of napkins. I really liked the shoestring fries as well. If you are in downtown Durham Queen Burger gives you another option for a quick delicious hamburger!

Food is great and the atmosphere is great for a pre-show dinner. Lots of good choices in a burger, and definitely get the fries!

I can't remember the last time I didn't finish a burger. This was super greasy and served in a plastic bag. Yuck.

I'm not a fan of dry, tough, burnt, crunchy burgers with strange sauce on them. I'm also not a fan of fries so skinny they're as tough as the burger patty. Another thing I'm not a fan of? expensive cocktails in Dixie (a tad larger) cups. The drink was delicious-what there was of it. It was a jalapeño margarita. One good thing-they serve Dukes Mayo so if you'd like to go try this place for yourself, you could cover up that burger with that. Their pickles on the burger are good. They ask for tips when it's counter service. That's tacky. There's actually zero table service. They were remodeling so we couldn't even go in. I don't count this as a total loss bc I had to use the bathroom. (They're remodeling). I went nextdoor to PRESS and that place looks amazing. I'll try that next time I'm in the area. That sums it up.

I've been eyeing this place since their grand opening and finally got to experience it for myself tonight. The ambience is great. Outdoors, there are picnic tables for sitting as well as little standing cocktail tables. Very dog friendly outside with lots of four-legged friends. The music is played outside as well. The menu has great, large font to be able to read from afar while you're waiting to order. I had the veggie burger based on the many recommendations I received. It was great! The fries were also great. Nice and crispy and they give you a lot of fries. I REALLY wanted an ice cream sandwich but filled up a little too much on the main meal. Ice cream will be for next time. Their drink menu also looked awesome. I can't wait to go again (tomorrow)!

Burger beyond dry. It lacks flavor. Portions of the burger are burnt & paper thin. Maybe they rely on the cheeses & sauces, im not sure. I understand today is a holiday, however the taste shouldn't lack. I could never eat this burger again & be perfectly happy. The saving grace are the fries. Even cold, the fries had a good flavor without the spicy seasoning. Will I go back? No, I tried it, but too much lacking for me.

Great smash burgers! Try the special and get the fire seasoned fries! I added jalapeños and it was so good. The ice cream sandwiches from Rose's that they sell are a great way to finish the meal. The slushes and thyme cucumber drink they have are pretty good too. Parking can be a little difficult especially on the weekend since it's by the Bulls field.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while. It did not disappoint. I got the homemade chili burger. I am not a big chili and slaw fan, and this burger is one I would get again. I got the large fry and shared with a friend, which was perfect for 2-3 people. I also love their variety of drinks both in the cooler and also the cocktails they have. Excited to go back to try more.
