Char-Grill is a beloved North Carolina hamburger restaurant nestled within the bustling RDU terminal, offering a taste of local charm amid the hustle of travel. Renowned for its juicy burgers and hot dogs, this spot is a must-visit, especially for first-timers. Many patrons rave about the double cheeseburger combo, perfectly complemented by Cheerwine soda, a regional favorite. While prices reflect the airport setting, the food quality remains exceptional, a fact echoed in numerous reviews.

Customer experiences highlight the warm and friendly service from the staff, particularly a standout named LeMar, whose uplifting demeanor greatly enhances the dining experience. Cleanliness and prompt service have also been consistently praised, making it easy for travelers to enjoy a satisfying meal before their next journey.

However, some reviews note a slight downside due to the salty taste of certain items, such as the chili cheese fries. Despite these minor critiques, the overall consensus is clear: Char-Grill delivers delicious food enriched by a wholesome, friendly atmosphere. If you're passing through Morrisville, this little gem promises a heartwarming culinary encounter that’s hard to forget.

A North Carolina institution especially if you live in the Triangle. The food is every bit as good as the brick and mortal locations but of course you’re paying airport prices. Get your hot dog with mustard chili and onions if you’re new. The burgers and juicy and sizable. The fries are just fries. Bonus points for having beers on hand. Either way, the service is universally good with friendly Carolinians who always seem to brighten up my day after a difficult trip.

The food is decent but it’s expensive. I was blown away by a young man named LeMar. He was a truly inspirational young man that treated everyone with respect. I watched him run the register, pour drinks, and clean up. He made the stop great and is the reason for the 4th and 5th star in this review. Thank you LeMar for showing kindness. May God Bless you richly. Amen!

Char-grill is a NC chain and there are only a few in the triangle but there should be more. This was my first time at this location in RDU. Aside from the airport prices which are the norm at any airport, this restaurant was great. The food here was absolutely delicious, and I thoroughly enjoyed my double cheeseburger combo meal. They carry Cheerwine soda, another delicious NC specialty and my favorite. The grill guy was super nice, and cashier knew her stuff. Dining area and tables were clean.

One of the better and more affordable food options at RDU terminal 1. I ordered Chili cheese french fries, which didnt look too appetizing at first, but the taste was actually good (maybe a little too salty). The staff member (manager?) was very kind and the service was quick. The eating area is also clean. They share the space with like a cantina next door

It amazes me that the staff at the airport is so friendly and accurate. I was thrilled with the service I got today. I had been so looking forward to it. After holiday food. Food was hot and fresh, and they got the extra crispy engineering for me as I requested
