There’s been an influx of new openings at American Tobacco Campus (ATC), including the highly anticipated addition of QueenBurger, owned by the folks behind Kingfisher Bar and Queeny’s on E. Chapel Hill St. QueenBurger’s menu is simple, and so are the ingredients, and that’s exactly what makes these smash burgers shine: farm-raised, grass-fed beef with local cheese, house-made pickles, and special sauce. For vegetarians, their smashed beet burger is a must. And who could resist those shoestring fries with the perfect amount of seasoning?

Update: The cheesy tutors with the fires spice was delicious. The cheese is creamy and smooth and the perfect ratio of cheese and tater tots. The PBJ burger is absolutely amazing and delicious. The perfect blend of peanut butter and strawberry bacon jelly. The new strawberry passionfruit slushy margarita was so good and who created this drink is a god send. Branwen and Janiyah were helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Queen burger if you want to have an amazing smash burger.
The Carolina Slaw burger is amazing. The chili and slaw are made in house and they are delicious! The fried pickles are thick and crispy and amazing. The spicy ranch sauce was also delicious and made in house. The staff are friendly.

I ate here on a short trip to Durham, the fries are nothing to brag about, I really dislike skinny fries but the flavor was good, they were fresh and hot! The burger was really good! I chose a traditional burger, I asked for medium well, and it was definitely not that, more well done but it was still good. I would eat here again

Had the spicy burger, bacon burger and an order of the cheese fries. Absolutely loved all of them. The spicy burger has a tangy taste and lots of crunch to it. The bacon burger is loaded with hoop cheese. The fries were cut nice and thin and had TONS of flavor.
As for the drinks, definitely get a frozé. They don't seem strong, but they creep up on you lol.
Update 12/29/24: came back and had fries with cheese, fire fries and tater tots. Once again, delicious food and flawless service.

Food was HOT and fresh. Fries had incredible crunch while still being soft, tots with the fiery seasoning had the right amount of crunch and great flavor. And the flavor and crisp on the double smash burger? Make a trip down here. $15 combo for this is incredible.

The double burger was great although definitely on the small side. The fire tots were…🔥 I’ll definitely be back, but better prepared for the “large slider” size of the burgers.

Really cool little place with a fun vibe. I love the multicolored walls and the small menu. They took my allergy very seriously, verifying everything would be safe. The food was fantastic! Decent portions and prices. I really enjoyed the vegan burger, it was flavorful and the “smashed burger” take on it was a nice change from the usual vegan burgers. Highly recommend and we would definitely return.

One of the best, actually smashed burgers in the area! The spicy burger was very flavorful and the fried onions contrasted well. The fries and tater tots were both heavily seasoned. Overall, it was worth the drive!

Well flavored and seasoned smash burgers in a fun, clean, modern, atmosphere.
Very fast and flavorful! The seasoned tots were amazing!
Plenty of indoor seating. Wheelchair accessible, clean bathrooms with a changing table.
Parking on the street is usually easy.
Perfect stop before or after the Bulls game!

It was a crazy day on 4th of July with a baseball game and extra traffic for the fireworks but they handled the rush like champs!!!!! The atmosphere was nice and inviting and although crowded people were constantly checking in on the diners. The food came out relatively quickly and was a delight

What a delightful experience! We went on a Wednesday afternoon, around 5PM, right before a Bulls game and another event. Not crowded at all.
We ordered two spicy style smash burgers with jalapenos and made it a combo (includes any burger, side and drink) for a few more bucks. We got spicy fries and fried pickles with zesty ranch.
The soda fountain was kind of flat but the sweet tea was on point.
We waited about 8-10 minutes with no other customers in the dining room. Service was quick and hospitable.
Now for the food...
Y'all, the smash burgers were hot, juicy, and delicious. I would have preferred more cheese next time but it was still smackin. The edges were crispy and it was seasoned to perfection. The grilled jalapenos also added a nice texture change and were good.
The shoestring fries are seasoned incredibly. The fried pickles were a bit drenched in oil and that made the breading to slide off but the overall taste was really good with the zesty ranch sauce. I wouldn't get this as a standalone side but good for a combo.
Overall, if you're looking for good smash burgers you can't go wrong coming here. Good value, great food. Will be back for sure to try the chili and slaw burger!

Delicious. We got a regular double, a spicy, fries, and a frose. My spicy burger was great, and fries were hot and fresh. There was a bulls game and a show this evening, so it took probably 20 minutes, but was worth the wait.
