| Heavy weight champion of the south, this burger by all marks is phenomenal. In my opinion, it's the second best chili burger in the world. That's how good it is. |
1. Johnson's Drive In's Velveeta Cheese-Burger - Siler City, NC.
No matter where I drive, and what I eat, Johnson's is still No. 1 in my book, with its thick slices of Velveeta on hand-picked fresh beef patties, and their chili is the undisputed winner of chili-cheese fries. Other burgers might come close, but you can't beat the quality of the beef at Johnson's that's butchered fresh straight from the stockyard.
2. King's, Durham, NC
Stop what you're doing, cause King's will ruin every expectation of what a North Carolina burger joint should be. It will remind you of a California burger shack with an amazing Double King that if you add chili and cheese to will blow your mind.
3. Wimpy's Garbage Burger - Durham, NC
Hand's down, for $8, this is one of the biggest and best burgers. It's got all the flavor of you expect from a proper chili burger with proportions to put the others to shame. It's in its own class, twice the size of most of its competitors and the heavyweight champion of North Carolina. It's simply delicious!

| The McPhersonator |
This thing is epic, a almost 2 lb burger of beef, bacon, toppings and sauces that make this $15 burger worth every bite. It's a food challenge, a prize winning culinary combination of flavors that make this not only a road-side attraction worth stopping at but an institution of deliciousness that I can say makes the McPhersonator Greensboro's No. 1 cheeseburger. Grab some of the finest onion-rings as a side, and you'll never take out-of-towners to anywhere else, ever again.

| An epically huge burger at Elois. The Daddy is one burger you won't leave hungry or dissatisfied. |
5. Elois Restaurant's Daddy Acre Burger - Bear Creek, NC
This burger is one that you must go and try it for yourself. The beef was still better at Johnson's, but this Grandma prepared, home-made, half-ton burger is epically huge, dripping with taste and flavor, and makes for the perfect pit-stop to almost anywhere.
 |
| Five Guys, with every topping they have. |
Despite being a national chain, most people still haven't experienced Five Guys the way you should. Unlimited topping for free, and I get everything thanks to their Internet application: lettuce, tomato, pickle, mustard, ketchup, jalapenos, mayonnaise, mushrooms, green peppers, extra cheese and bacon. The thing is the size of a house, and despite its pop following. it is so good, that I can recommend it on this list in the No. 3 spot- but only ordered with everything.

| Big Burger Spot's Bacon Bacon Burger and Chili Cheese Fries. |
7. Big Burger Spot's Bacon Bacon Cheeseburger - Greensboro, NC
Angus beef, applewood bacon, and for about $10 you can order it in Colossal form which is a 1 lb cheeseburger served on a pizza platter. Order the cheese fries, or ranch and bacon fries- but skip the chili in my opinion. It's probably the best burger in Greensboro, and one of our top competitors statewide.
 |
| Allen & Son's |
Hand cut french fries, homemade buns, fresh-squeezed lemonade, and a mile-high double cheeseburger makes Allen & Son's Double Cheeseburger a definite winner. The trick is their BBQ sauce though. That's right, BBQ sauce! They sit it on the tables, and it's awesome on the burgers, fries, and of course their BBQ. Yum!
 |
| Rufus Burger = stone cold country. |
Before we ate at Elois, we visited the little town of Goldston for their delicious plus sized chili-cheeseburger in a Pepsi themed diner. Cost just $5, and it's one of the best burgers for the money you can get. The tastes were right, and the fries were surprisingly golden perfection.

| Muzzie Burger - I swear they put crack in these things. |
I grew up a few blocks from Kidd's, and I adore their simple cheeseburger. They're not huge, they're not exotic or special, and they don't hold a candle to Johnson's (our no. 1 pick), but yet I'm addicted to them. I crave them like a pregnant woman on a chili-burger zombie craze. There's just something about the simplicity of their method that produces a product, I can't buy anywhere else.
Notable Mentions: Cook-Out's HUGE Cheddar Style or A1 Style - Greensboro, NC, Asheboro, NC, Burlington, NC

| Epic comfort food at Cook-Out. |
 |
| The Rollie Burger with Mac & Cheese sauce fries. |
It's crinkle-cut fries in Velveeta that's been creamed to a gravy that first makes you go, "hmmm", followed by "miammmm" when you bite into their Rollie Burger. You can't lose with the combination of a delicious burger, chili-cheese fries, and unlimited lemonade.
 |
| Beef Burger's Cardiac Killer |
Served from the whirl-a-burger of cooking apparatuses, the same way since the hamburger was invented, this cheeseburger is infamous around UNCG. It's an old-fashioned style burger that can only be described as a true fifties style drive-in burger with true grease appeal. You're going to feel dirty, and wild after one of these.
 |
| Hurricane Jane's Velvetta Twister |
The Velveeta Burger crawls north into Hurricane Jane's as a tropically inspired restaurant with a darn good burger, and chili-cheese fries. It's far better than anything you'll find in a drive-thru, and for the price of what you get, it is a great deal. In addition, it's one of the only burger places where you can enjoy a beer with your burger- which makes this Velveeta Burger one of the most worthwhile burgers to obtain in NC.
Country BBQ's Chili-Cheese Burger - Greensboro, NC
