The Best Burger Joints in Cary and Apex

The Best Burger Joints in Cary and Apex

Cary and Apex boast a variety of burger places, including Five Guys, Tapstation, McDonald's, Wendy's, Scratch, Ruckus, Culvers, and The Dugout. When choosing where to indulge, the first thing to consider is the rating! According to Google Maps, Culvers stands out with the highest rating of 4.6, while Wendy's has the lowest at 3.4. Other noteworthy ratings include Scratch at 4.5, Five Guys at 4.4, Tapstation and Ruckus both at 4.3, The Dugout at 4.0, and McDonald's at 3.6.

If you're wondering whether you can get in, enjoy your meal, and be out within an hour and a half on a weekend night, I can share my personal experiences. McDonald's, Wendy's, Culvers, and Five Guys typically allow for a quick turnaround, often in under an hour. Ruckus might also be a viable option, but it can get quite loud and might take closer to the time limit. The same goes for The Dugout and Scratch.

When it comes to burger options, Five Guys and Culvers offer a wide variety to satisfy any craving. Ruckus and The Dugout also provide diverse choices for all tastes. Wendy's and McDonald's are fairly similar in the fast-food burger realm, while Scratch features an array of options. Tapstation, however, doesn’t quite measure up to the others in terms of variety.

Ultimately, you can choose your favorite burger spot, but my personal rankings are as follows:

1. Culvers

2. Ruckus

3. Scratch

4. The Dugout

5. Five Guys

6. McDonald's

7. Tapstation

8. Wendy's

No matter where you decide to go, I’ll be enjoying a burger from Culvers!
