Looking for a new burger spot to try? Well, it is National Cheeseburger Day today (Sept. 18) and we ar in a good burger mood. But, sometimes you want to try something new. A popular burger chain with hundreds of locations is making its way to Charlotte over the next few years.

New Burger Chain Coming to Charlotte

Small Sliders will be opening 12 new locations in the Charlotte area over the next few years. The growing burger chain has some pretty good help with being backed by NFL legend, Drew Brees. The restaurant already has 300 locations across the country and will be adding Charlotte to their next home.

The restaurant has quite a unique look and we’re excited to see what it look like here. Each location. or can as they like to call it, is built to resemble shipping containers stacked on top of each other. There is no indoor dining, but customers can do the drive-thru, walk-up window, or outside dining area. For me, it somewhat reminds me of what most sonics do with their no-indoor dining setup.

Small Sliders focuses on taking sliders and turning them into a big, burst of flavor in a small bite. The restaurant has unique names for its menu items. Try out the Biggie Smalls, a double meat, double cheese slider. You can also try out their special smauce which is their secret sauce used on burgers and along with fries.

The first location of Small Sliders is expected to be completed in Charlotte by the end of 2025. After that, they will work to complete all locations over the next six years. Specific spots have not yet been determined, but the company is looking to expand in Charlotte, Matthews, Pineville, Indian Trail, Monroe, Rock Hill, Gastonia, Huntersville, Concord, Hickory, and Salisbury. That is plenty of space to open up a dozen locations!

Are you going to try out Small Sliders whenever they make their way to Charlotte? Burgers up!

5 of the Best Burgers on Menus in North Carolina

There are a few things that get me more excited than anything. That’s shopping and eating. Whether it’s me cooking a new meal, cooking my favorite meal, or even going to some of my favorite restaurants. One of the best things to also do is try new foods and restaurants around your area. I have moved around quite a few times in the last few years, but in every spot I lived, I went looking for restaurants. Whether it was simple stuff like American and pizza or I was trying new stuff like Tex-Mex when living in Houston, TX.

While sitting and eating my somewhat healthy lunch, I started thinking about cheeseburgers. This is somewhat ironic because I am not a fan of cheeseburgers but sometimes those burgers can really hit the spot. A juicy patty with a great slice of cheese and tons of topping options is one of those things everyone can call a great meal. Don’t even let me get started on having the perfect side item to go along with that burger.

So, while I was sitting and thinking I decided to go look up some great cheeseburgers in the state of North Carolina. Now, I know that is probably a wide range but I wanted to see how crazy some of these restaurants get. I wanted to see if I could find those hidden gems with some crazy, super tasty cheeseburger options. So, take a ride through my mind and check out 5 of the best cheeseburgers I could find in North Carolina.

  • Mama Crow’s Burger and Salad Shop

    Up first, we’re visiting a spot in Raleigh, North Carolina. Mama Crow’s is a burger joint serving up a few different burger options for one to enjoy. One of their famous and most popular burgers is their smash burger. The burger is double smashed patties with cheese curds, mushrooms, onions, goat cheese, and black mayo on fresh bread. How insane does that burger sound? You can even add bacon on to it and make it your own a little! They also have burger specials and deals you can try throughout the year.

  • Hops Burger Bar

    Now, we’re heading to Greensboro, North Carolina to check out this burger bar. Hops Burger Bar is serving up fresh burgers with some locally grown ingredients to include on it. Each week they do a different featured burger for guests to try and enjoy. The options are endless. One burger that looked great to me is the pickleback. Enjoy a burger topped with fried onion rings, bbq sauce, and bourbon marinated pickles. Like what?! I can only imagine! They don’t have a photo, but here’s a picture of another insane weekly featured burger.

Well, The Cowfish is one spot you might think about both because that’s what they are serving up. The have a location in both Charlotte and Raleigh to enjoy. The Charlotte menu has tons of options, but one burger that stands out is the jalapeno popper show stopper burger. This burger comes with 1/2 pound of beef, jalapeno infused cream cheese, jalapeno bacon, fried jalapenos, jalapeno citrus aioli, lettuce, tomato, and fresh jalapenos on a brioche bun.
