Love this place! Bonus tip: the black bean/falafel patty is cooked in a pan and not on the same surface as the meat so vegetarians don't have to be afraid to try this place too!
Jeremy WilliamsNovember 3, 2013If you want a great burger, look no further. This place is awesome. Great food, very friendly staff, good beer selection (cooler, no draft). Highly recommend it.
Vitor WarwarSeptember 3, 2017The burgers and sweet potato fry. Small place and a gem. Said that- they need to renew their alcohol incense. Burger + beer still is a good combo!
Hamad HNovember 6, 2015I would say best burger in town! Forget Hops and Big Burger Spot, Emma Key's is #1.
Jennifer DeCesariJanuary 27, 2013Two way fries and flat top cheese burger all the way! A little slice of heaven! Even when 12 ppl came in in the course of 15 minutes everything ran smoothly! Now my favorite burger place!!- Carl WheezerFebruary 20, 2016I Love the Hotel California burger along with some nice garlic rosemary fries! It's quite quick and never is overly crowded.
The James Taylor Burger is amazing! The gluten free bun is so yummy and different than standard gluten free buns
Nicole BainAugust 20, 2016Great burgers and sweet potato fries! Come when there's nice weather and you can sit outside under the umbrellas.
The guys that work there are super friendly and helpful, I always leave full and happy.
There's a wait to order and a longer wait for your food, but so worth it. Great burgers, great fries, great beer.- Shawn BDecember 29, 2013California burger and sweet potato waffle fries were great. Best burger I've had in Greensboro!
Love the food, but I would not call their snow cones new Orleans style. They're super crunchy, not smooth, and come in a cone, not cup.- The best burgers in the Triad. Get a Hotel California, a good beer and don't look back.
- Elizabeth McclellanJune 25, 2015Get the sweet potato fries with cinnamon sugar sauce, it is to die for!!!!!!!
Megan EnsingerSeptember 6, 2014The tuna melt and fries was excellent. Not a whole lot of indoor seating.
David FabricanteApril 14, 2012Make sure you tell them how you like your burger cooked. Try the sweet tater fries! Perfection!!!
Renee KuzmaSeptember 28, 2013Awesome burgers! Lines out the door right around dinner time. Not many tables.
Waleed 🇸🇦November 29, 2018One of the nice burger option in Greensboro. Nothing special but good burgers.- Besr burgers! The sweet potato waffle fries are both delicious and unique.
glennf 🦀February 22, 2017The burgers are great. Having to wait for them for 45 minutes is too much. I would have left if I hadn't paid for it when I ordered.
Jake FochettaSeptember 30, 2015If you don't order the sweet potato fries you didn't deserve them in the first place.
Sweet potato fries and the Tobasco ketchup are the bomb.com.
Get the Hotel California with the vegan pattie! Always delicious!
Got to Emma Keys and ask for Graham's Special hot sauce on your burger for a hot surprise!
Brittany SøndbergJanuary 24, 2012Flattop cheeseburger all the way is the BEST! Simple but sooo good.
Brian HowellOctober 1, 2016Not good. My wife's fries were cold and my sweet potato fries didn't get served and I had to ask for them. It took about 15 minutes to get them & then they tasted so oily that I didn't even eat them.
Rachel MildonSeptember 9, 2011Ask Michael to make you a patty melt, whether you think you like them or not.
