The Cary arrangement is, in my opinion, superior to any other Char-Grill. While I love eating a burger out-of-doors, the practicality of indoor seating is a major plus. Best of all they maintained the specialness of the ordering process and there are still areas to sit outside if you want. The Cary Char-Grill is the bomb.

Cary let the Goodberrys on Kildaire be a walk-up, no inside seating place. Is the thought that Cary won’t allow it, or the location is not suited for it?

its been so long since i’ve had a char-grill burger that i can’t make a good comparison between them and five guys. char-grill has great shakes, five guys has awesome burgers and fries. guess i might have to drive to one, then the other. might make the perfect meal.

“Today things like Backyard, Five Guys, Cook Out, Cheeburger Cheeburger, etc. have moved into the market. I wonder if they’ve waited too long to start building again.”
Out of that bunch only Five Guys and possibly Cook Out seem to be restaurants to worry about. Cheeburger is already gone and Backyard has never been one to worry about. Five Guys has good burgers (and that’s about it) for sure but is a little overpriced. Cook Out has come and gone and shown little interest in expanding any more.

The burger market has changed a lot in the last ten years or so. When Char-Grill established themselves in the area it was them against the mass-market chains, such as McDonalds and Hardees.
Today things like Backyard, Five Guys, Cook Out, Cheeburger Cheeburger, etc. have moved into the market. I wonder if they’ve waited too long to start building again.

I live in Cary and I’m actually not living in a tract house, am a pretty interesting person with varied interests and love and respect Raleigh. Wish I could say the same for the folks who live ITB. Oh well. Welcome, Char-Grill. We’re happy to have you.

Cary may get a Char-Grill, but they’ll never get it.
For my money, the best milkshakes in the union.

I agree that a Char Burger tastes best late at night on a brick wall, tailgate of a truck or hood of a car, however, it is wise of them to expand the appeal to the Caryites, or Carytonians, or what ever they are.
