Al's Burger Shack

Yes, there is an Al, and chances are you'll find him greeting guests with a smile from the grill as he creates tasty burgers and dogs for the crowds that flock to this tiny spot. Burgers are made from pasture-raised North Carolina beef, and come in 3-, 6- and 9-ounce patties. Try one of Al's specialties, like the Bobo chili cheeseburger, or select your own toppings. Seating is limited to a few counter stools and picnic tables on the patio, so dodge peak meal times for your best shot at a seat. If you can't make it downtown, there's a second Al's location in Southern Village, just south of town on US 15-501.
