Chow down on some of the best hot dogs and hamburgers in North Carolina when you pay a visit to Hap’s Grill in Salisbury. In business for 34 years, Hap’s is a staple found just off the square in Salisbury – and you’ll want to add it to your bucket list for the next time you’re in the area. Here’s why:

It's a hole in the wall joint beloved by locals and visitors alike.

For more than 30 years, Hap's has served only three items: hot dogs, hand-patted burgers, and chili. Beverages, including Salisbury's own Cheerwine, are served in old-fashioned glass bottles.

People aren't intimidated by the line that's always forming outside of Hap's small takeout location.

Get your food to go and eat it right outside the restaurant on one of the makeshift tallboy tables by the street.

With delicious and consistent food, it's easy to see why Hap's is so famously popular.
