Char’s Hamburgers

Fantastic burgers, much better than your average fast food burger joint with service thats also miles better.

Just your traditional burger joint with milkshakes and dipped cones! So good! Definitely something the kids will enjoy and good for lunch! The service is fast and polite. Chars has been here for a while and I can see why. Also, if you want to be able to support local businesses and eat good; Chars is the place to go!

This place is a must for lunch when passing through Lexington.
Bacon cheeseburgers and milkshakes are suggested.
If you’re in Lexington and in the mood for something besides bbq this is the place.
The restaurant has been here for a long time, they know what works.

Chars has the best flurries and the food is not bad either! A wonderful tradition in Lexington for a long time.

My rating of 5 stars is based on several things. It’s not the best of any one thing, but a good combination of everything. Char’s is basically a delicious ice cream /​milkshake restaurant who also sells very good food. We love their hamburgers, unique hot dogs (especially foot longs), and they make the best grilled chicken sandwich anywhere. French fries are hot because they fry them when you order them. The staff are eager to please you, and they are patient with children and good at explaining the menu to them. The location is conveniently located on N. Main St. in Uptown Lexington. Inside, big windows and yellow seats offer a bright cheerful ambiance, and they also have a drive through. We love Char’s!

This place is mediocre at best. My hamburger was sloppy, lukewarm, with only one piece of bacon on it.
My onion rings were mushy and tasted kind of odd. My daughter liked the corn dog. Fries aren’t the best either.
This place was just «ok» I don’t think we’d go back unless we didn’t have a choice.

Char’s has been around for a LONG time! It’s a local restaurant known for that char grilled flavor in their food. I go for the Ice Cream! It’s the only place I can find Hershey’s Black Cherry Ice Cream! A small cone (2 scoops) is a little over a buck so you can’t go wrong. As a local, i’m not a huge fan of the food. Sometimes I do want that Char flavor so i’ll head over. The Burgers and Hot Dogs are a big deal here. You can’t really go wrong with either of them. The fries, I could do without. And if you go late enough, they’ll re-​dip them which makes them even worse.

When someone comes in and orders a hot dog with extra chili, you should give them extra chili. When I came to your establishment (note past tense), I would order the same thing I order at other places that serve hot dogs. EXTRA CHILI.
However, you people put LESS CHILI than any other place. Rather, you put LESS CHILI on a hot dog ordered with EXTRA CHILI than other places normal chili dogs.
That pretty much sucks… And is why I never go there.
Oh yeah, your «Shaved Ice» is nothing but a sno-​cone. You obviously do not know the difference. Drive down to Granite Quarry and get a shaved ice at Sno-​Biz and see what a REAL SHAVED ICE looks like…

Solid, if not spectacular, burgers and hot dogs. This place has been around for a while, and was at one point part of a small regional «chain». There is a location of the same name in Winston that is as bad a fast food restaurant as I’ve ever been in, but that’s another review.
They do good work here — dog is nice, if not world class; burger is good as well. Fries are not bad, service is good, place is clean and bright.
