Review highlights

Based on 234 reviews

Fresh Burger consistently receives praise for its flavorful, well-seasoned burgers and fresh ingredients, with many customers highlighting the quality and juiciness of the patties. The onion straws and fries often stand out as well-prepared and generously portioned, though some reviews note occasional inconsistency, especially with the fries and fried items like chicken tenders. Service is frequently described as attentive, friendly, and efficient, contributing to a positive dining experience despite the restaurant's older building. The atmosphere benefits from a clean interior and a scenic river view, enhancing the overall appeal. While most patrons enjoy the food and hospitality, some feedback suggests that certain menu items could be better cooked or sauce portions increased. Overall, Fresh Burger is regarded as a reliable local spot offering great burgers and good service in a welcoming environment.

Food was absolutely phenomenal!! Service was, too. We got the bacon cheddar and BBq burger. Patties were really well seasoned. The bbq burger comes with onion straws, and it's the proper amount. Most places give you barely any on a burger. This was loaded. The fries were the best fresh cut I've ever had. They were crispy and seasoned. I took a star off for the following reasons, and I hope the manager or guy that asked for a review will read this, and I'll give the star back just a few housekeeping things. The floor desperately needs swept and mopped. Our shoes were sticking very bad and you could hear it loudly as you walked. The napkin holder tops were covered in dust or pollen. The men's restroom toilet seat in stains and looked chipped buy a new one. And idk who shaved in the men's sink but it looked like they had used beard trimmers tiny hairs everywhere. We will definitely be back it was delicious just needs those few things.

The young man working the front(whole store) was amazing. Very attentive, always moving. Helping, cleaning, serving, etc. personable and helpful The food was decent but not breathtaking. Burgers: 8.5/10 juicy, flavorful, good size, but very messy. (Not greasy) Wings: 7/10 decent size, good flavor, but a bit stingy with sauce. Ranch: 10/10 Fries: 4/10. Not the best. A little droopy and some overcooked. Chili cheese fries: 2/10 soggy, sad, and flavorless. The chili is less than desirable and makes the fries limp and soggy. The atmosphere is cute, on the river with a nice view, definitely older styled. Overall, I wouldn’t say it was worth what we paid with the chili up charge and chili cheese fries up charge($50 for 2 people) but the burgers and the young man in the front made it worth it enough to come back.

Building is old and it shows but it was clean inside friendly staff good view of the river. Burger was good comparable to 5guys. but the onion strips and chicken tenders need to be fried longer they weren't done. grilled cheese was decent.

The old no.7 burger is phenomenal! The onion straws are perfect, beef is so fresh and bun soft to boot! The wings are wonderful too! Best burger I’ve had in a long time.

Great place to dine. Found this one by accident due to BJ’s Diner closing earlier today. Must have been meant because my hubby and I enjoyed our food and will be back again next time we come to Cherokee.

Other than the loud boom from the stereo, everything was fantastic. The best chilli slaw dog ever!!!! Can't wait to get back and try the burgers. For the price, you get outstanding quantity and flavor. Fresh, hot. The fries are in a class by themselves. Y'all knocking it out. Great staff. Wasn't to busy when we stopped in. This is one restaurant I'd wait on. I don't give 5 stars often. But I do tell it like it is per my taste. Absolutely the best I've had. For my biker family, A little difficult for bikers pulling in to park to get out of busy. If you can, try to back in if traffic allows.
