Great burgers have a warm bun and a sizzling patty. Add the tang of melted cheese and the magic of toppings, and you get a glorious, messy, satisfying bite.

Burgers are, without a doubt, a comfort food that has earned a permanent spot in people’s hearts (and stomachs). If you’re in Hilton Head and the craving hits, don’t settle for just any stack. Get the very best.

Here are five places you should go to for burgers that will change your life.

Charbar Co.

Address: 33 Office Park Road, #213, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928

Phone: (843) 785-2427

Charbar Co. pops up on every burger round-up in town. Why wouldn’t it? Voted as Hilton Head’s Best Burger for seven straight years (from 2012 to 2018), the team knows what it’s doing! Charbar Co. brings a fresh perspective to the burger scene, and it all starts with the Black Hawk Farms American Wagyu beef. Expect rich flavors and tender melt-in-your-mouth textures.

Chow Daddy’s

Address: 71 Lighthouse Road, Suite 412, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928

Phone: (843) 842-2469

Casual vibes? Check. Local and organic ingredients? Double check. Chow Daddy’s may be known for their tacos, but their burgers have their own spotlight. As such, we recommend doing the obvious: order both. Try Chow Daddy’s Burger, a mouthwatering sandwich that promises a flavor bomb from top to bottom!

Jane Bistro & Bar

Address: 28 Shelter Cove Lane, #109 Hilton Head Island, SC 29928

Phone: (843) 686-5696

For burgers in a coastal and modern place, head to Jane Bistro & Bar. Many will tell you their Smash Burger is unforgettable. We’re talking golden grilled onions, cheddar cheese, lettuce, mayo, and mustard on a juicy patty that’s just right. Choose the Lil’ One for something light, or double up for full burger glory. Don’t forget to involve some good company.

Fraser’s Tavern

Address: 100 North Sea Pines Drive, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928

Phone: (843) 842-1441

You don’t need to hit the golf course to enjoy Fraser’s Tavern, but if you do, it’s a fantastic reward after a round. The kitchen crafts burgers with short ribs, briskets, and chucks. Every burger was custom-designed by 2024 RBC Heritage Champion Scottie Scheffler, and $1 from every order goes to charity. Feel good while you eat good!

Reilley’s Grill & Bar

Address: 7D Greenwood Drive, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928

Phone: (843)-842-4414

Last but not least, there’s Reilley’s Grill & Bar, a staple since 1982. Say yes to the classic Boston pub ambiance and the must-try Blackened Blue Burger! Think of an eight-ounce beef patty with blue cheese crumbles, all on grilled rye bread. It’s the kind of burger you’ll dream about long after your last nip. Come for comfort, community, and downright delicious eats.
