ABOUT CHAR-GRILL
In 1960, Char-Grill opened on Hillsborough Street in downtown Raleigh, NC. For generations, students from N.C. State University and surrounding colleges, along with state government employees from downtown Raleigh, have flocked to this landmark to fulfill their love for the now-famous Hamburger Steak sandwiches.

Hamburger Steak, cooked on an open Char Rock Grill and served hot and fresh…cooked to order! That’s how real hamburgers are done right (and have been since 1960!). Taste the Flavor!
