Where to get burgers in Greensboro: Spring Garden and Battleground

Last checked Oct. 11, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Burgers in Greensboro cluster on Spring Garden Street near UNCG, where Hops Burger Bar, Fat Dog’s and Old Town Draught House are a short drive apart, and downtown on South Elm Street. Big Burger Spot and PorterHouse Burger Company serve the north side, on Battleground Avenue and Pisgah Church Road. Fast-food chains are listed by address below the table.

How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records with a Greensboro address, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 11, 2026, and against the U.S. Census Bureau’s city limits. We added Natty Greene’s from the Downtown Greensboro Inc. directory and PorterHouse’s New Garden Road takeout location from its own site. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run one of these places? Write to us to correct your entry.
