Big Burger Spot – Kernersville, NC - The Sociable Adventurer

Big Burger Spot is one of the most substantial burger destinations anywhere in the greater Kernersville, NC area — a local Piedmont Triad burger chain with three locations across the region (two in Greensboro and one on Old Winston Road in Kernersville). The Kernersville location serves the same hand-pattied burgers on buttery brioche buns that have earned Big Burger Spot regional recognition as one of the Triad’s most respected burger destinations.

The burger menu is genuinely deep. Diners can build their own burger or choose from 13 pre-designed burgers on the menu, with each available in three sizes — “Almost Big,” “Big,” or “Colossal Burger” for the very hungry. Sides include loaded fries and tots (with topping options ranging from chili & cheese to bacon & cheddar to truffle parmesan or sweet heat chipotle chicken), classic onion rings, Cajun seasoned fries and tots, and lattice chips.

The Burger Menu — Hand-Pattied on Buttery Brioche Buns

The signature Big Burger Spot experience centers on the burger itself. Every burger starts with hand-pattied beef on a brioche bun polished with melted butter — a classic combination executed with genuine attention to fundamentals. The 13 predesigned burgers on the menu range from straightforward classics to more elaborate combinations, with fresh toppings including crisp onions, ripe tomatoes, and crunchy pickles.

The three burger sizes give diners real flexibility — the “Almost Big” for lighter appetites, the standard “Big” for the everyday order, and the “Colossal Burger” for the truly hungry. Vegetarian diners are also covered, with house-made veggie burger options on the menu.

Big Burger Spot’s in-house preparation extends beyond just the burgers. Pimento cheese, chili, slaw, dressings, and veggie burgers are all made in-house — giving the Kernersville location a genuinely local diner character rather than a corporate chain feel.

Signature Dipping Sauces and Piedmont Triad Recognition

Big Burger Spot’s sides pair with a rotating lineup of six signature dipping sauces: Ranch, Blue Cheese, Honey Mustard, Sriracha Ketchup, Pesto Mayo, and the fan-favorite Burger Spot Dip. That kind of sauce variety extends the menu’s flexibility — letting diners build a genuinely customized burger-and-sides experience across visits.

Big Burger Spot has earned substantial regional media recognition over the years. The restaurant has been featured in “Our State” magazine’s Roadside Eats, Triad Foodies, and WFMY News 2, and Scoutology named it to their “Top 18 NC Burger Joints” list. That kind of sustained media coverage in the Piedmont Triad genuinely distinguishes Big Burger Spot from the average local burger joint.
