The votes are in. After a close battle, we’re crowning MoJoe’s Burger Joint as the winner of our best burger in Raleigh bracket. You, our readers, cast 407 votes for MoJoe’s and 308 votes for Char-Grill.

MoJoe’s, our fast-casual Raleigh gem, has been slinging patties since 2002 on the corner of Glenwood Ave. + E. Peace St. Pay them a visit and be sure to ask for a side of MoJoe’s sauce for the ultimate dipping experience.

Congrats, MoJoe’s. 👏

How it works

Beginning today, we will host several voting rounds within our newsletters and social channels to determine Raleigh’s best burger spot. Who moves on is up to you. Vote for your favorites, and the burger spot with more votes moves on. Simple as that. We’ll go until we have a champion, which will be announced in the March 25 newsletter. You will be able to vote once per round.

How to participate

Vote for the burger spot you’d like to see advance to round two using this poll. You can vote for all four spots or as little as one. Once we count all the votes, we’ll share an updated bracket and new poll in an upcoming newsletter.
