5 on the Flat-Top: Nicks Old Fashion Hamburgers

This is almost certainly a frozen patty. But, this is the perfect example of taking a frozen patty and making it taste delicious. Stephanie and I stopped after going to her mom’s for the nightly check-in. It wasn’t on the list but I saw it on the menu and decided to give it a shot. It was seasoned so well and the ingredients so fresh, that it made me go, “mmm” out loud. Stephanie had one, as well and she agreed with me.

Liberty St, WSNC. The reason this got #6 is that it had no category below an “8” rating. The YC Burger, a pub burger with a 6oz. Ground beef patty, onion aioli, pickle slices, sliced tomato, cheddar cheese. The onion aioli was a bit messy but the flavors were amazing. Chefs Andrews and Swing do amazing work at YCC and I am so glad I had this one, on our anniversary, by the way.

They offer multiple other cuisines including Burgers, American, and Hot Dogs. Street Team Steven went here to try not only the burger but the tenderloin sandwich, too. I will be 100% upfront here, I’ve had better burgers from Nick’s than we did on this trip. The ratings were for this trip, no matter how much I’d had before (and I have had Nick’s several times). Even with that, though, it was still a strong burger.

Double patties, mayo, pickles, tomato, onion, and lite mustard. King’s Hot Dogs is located at 1009 Bethania Rural Hall Rd, in Rural Hall. This was recommended to me by my friend Paul Jones and while I have eaten at Hero House before, it has been a long, long, long time. Mostly because it’s on Stratford Road and can be a pain to get in and out of. I just went for a late lunch and missed most of that traffic. But, I’m so glad Paul put me on this burger.

The experience was more “diner.” Big Burger Spot, 803 Old Winston Road, Kernersville. When I did my rankings in 2019, I had said that this would have been my #3, but a devastating fire closed the restaurant and led to its rebuild in early mac n jack amber 2021. Mr. Barbecue has risen to my top 4 even if they don’t have the “Jumbo-sized” burgers that they used to have. This is always a solid burger, almost what a diner burger should be, frozen or not (which I’m not sure it is frozen).

It had this great under-flavor of onions like many diner burgers have and many others should have. Mayo, pickles, tomato, onion, cheese. Hero House is a great family-owned business, too.
