11 Years Later, Charlotte Is Still Hungry For Burger Week 🍔

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

Charlotte's 11th Annual Burger Week🍔 Kicks Off On Friday, August 14th

20+ Restaurants. $8 Burgers. Where Do You Start?

 

Charlotte Burger Week 2026 arrives this week! It may be called Charlotte Burger Week, but apparently seven days simply aren’t enough—the Queen City is serving up $8 burgers for a full 10 days.

 

Starting, Friday, August 14th, you'll have 10 full days to savor the best of the Queen City's burger scene! More than 20 local restaurants will be dishing up creative, limited‑edition burgers for just $8 each (excluding sides, tax, and gratuity).  Find out where to get your perfect burger. Vote for your perfect burger. Charlotte Burger Week "Passport" will be available starting August 12th.

 

As Wolfgang Puck said: "Burgers: the perfect balance of simplicity and satisfaction."  

 

The Queen City's popular Charlotte Burger Week is now in its 11th year. What’s more summertime-in-the-USA than a juicy burger🍔, crispy fries🍟, and an ice-cold drink🥤? Charlotte Burger Week turns that classic combo into a culinary scavenger hunt—adding creativity, community vibes, and a friendly competition where your vote counts. It’s about discovering hidden burger gems all over town, sharing the fun with friends, and celebrating Charlotte's local food scene.

 

Burgers have this universal appeal—they're simple, nostalgic, but endlessly customizable. Throw in some fries, a Coke (or a craft beer or whiskey) and you’ve got summer on a plate.

Nina, YUMMY, this does sound good!   In fact, there is a burger restaurant I plan to dine at in Loule while up there.   Good timing!

Joan Cox, Retired Broker/Owner hi Joan... seriously, who doesn't love a good burger? We went out for burgers last night. I buy burger patties from Omaha Steaks to make at home... and oh my, are they ever good!

I make my own also, both when I was in Denver and now.  Have gone out for a burger once.

Nina Hollander, Broker good morning, Nina! Now you've got me craving a really good burger. Eleven years of Burger Week sounds like a fantastic tradition—ten days of $8 burgers definitely gives everyone plenty of time to sample the local scene!

On Henry's grill.  He knows what I like and how I like it cooked.  Hard to find that when we eat out.

Gwen Fowler SC Lakes & Mountains 864-710-4518 hi Gwen... I satisfied my craving for a burger yesterday evening. So I'm good for a bit. But really, where can you find a great $8 burger these days!

I do enjoy a good burger (not a round 1/4" thick patty thrown on a grill but a good, juicy, meaty burger with toppings and a nice bun). I'd participate if I were in your area!

Aug 12, 2026 05:29 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Kat Palmiotti exactly, Kat! If I'm going to eat a burger I don't want a silly patty... I want a serious burger!

Although I do not eat burgers, I LOVE a veggie burger (the the fake meat like Impossible or Beyond). ALMOST anything is improved by ketchup (it is the nectar of the gods.  :)

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty hi Jeff... of course, I worry when someone says food needs to be "improved" by ketchup!

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty 🤣Since I've never tasted anything you prepared, I'll have to take your word for it! 😂

Nina Hollander, Broker any food I cook would likely be improved by ketchup.

Charlotte Burger Week sounds like a foodie’s dream! With so many local restaurants participating, it’s a great excuse to explore new spots and support local businesses while enjoying some amazing burgers.

Marie-Noelle Metseye hi Marie-Noelle... you make a very good point about supporting local businesses... we lost a lot of restaurants after covid.

Nina- when people ask what I want for my birthday dinner...it's almost always a good hamburger!!!!  I love the idea of Burger week!!!  I'm making enchiladas tonight so I'll put the burger off for a day or two.

Nina that is cheaper than a hamburger at McDonalds, and far better.

George Souto good morning, George... that's why this is such a great event each year.

Good evening Nina Hollander, Broker ,

Who doesn't love a good burger!! And for $8 that is a buy because the fast food places are more than that!

Nina Hollander, Broker

Dorie Dillard Austin TX good morning, Dorie. I almost never go to fast food places so I'm not au courant with their prices. But I have heard they are insane. I think this is one reason our annual Burger Week is such a hit.

I always enjoy a good burger, especially if I know it is from a grass-fed and grass-finished cow, haha, but these days I have it sans bun, haha.

Aug 13, 2026 06:10 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Brian England for me it depends on the bun.
