Curtsy's Café & Burger Bar

A FIVE-STAR stop at Curtsy's Cafe & Burger Bar in the revitalized, bustling, and walkable historic downtown of Franklinton, just a short drive from Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill. Our late lunch for consisted of one 'Mushing Love Burger' (a juicy patty, Swiss cheese, grilled mushrooms, grilled onions, and Dijon Mayo), and 'The Hawaiian Burger', including a beef patty, Pepper Jack cheese, bacon, grilled pineapple, slaw, crunchy fried onions, teriyaki glaze, and mayonnaise. A super combination of sweet and savory flavors! Chips and fried potatoes on the side with cappuccino and ice water. Kid-friendly with a designated play area inside the dining area (see photo). Curtsy's is located across the street from the historic Franklinton Middle School, built in 1923, a gift from Sterling Cotton Mill fo

Great little place for coffee or breakfast or lunch. We had lunch on New Year’s Day, the service was good and the food was delicious. I asked for my wrap without ranch dressing but I think they put it on, but luckily they didn’t overdo it. It was really good, and my husband had a burger which was also really good. But you have some healthy options which is great, especially if you are vegetarian or trying to eat healthy. Lots of unhealthy stuff to enjoy though! They have breakfast sandwiches, waffles, eggs, burgers, sandwiches, hotdog, drinks, coffee, tea, donuts, muffins. They also have fruit and pasta salad as alternatives or side dishes. The place is clean and has a nice vibe.

The burgers are the best I’ve had in the Raleigh area and the space is beautiful! I had the classic and my wife had the jalapeno cream cheese and both were amazing! For sides I had a cup of chili which is a meaty hot dog chili which had great spices and was super flavorful. My wife had the pasta salad which was better than home made. I can’t wait to go back!

I dont normally hand out 5 stars but this place definitely deserved it! Walking in we were met with overly friendly and helpful staff, along with a large and charming atmosphere. We ordered the French Dip sandwich with homemade pasta salad, chicken salad wrap with hash browns, a side of watermelon, iced coffee and a Raspberry/Lemonade Mimosa. ALL were extremely delicious, came out very quickly and were reasonably priced. We will definitely be back to try the burgers and half priced wine Weds! Special shout out to Mikayla (spell?) and her wonderful service and energy.

Their smash burger menu is insane. Breakfast is always on point. Great people also. Edit: Novembers burger of the month is the Gobbler and you have to try it! Smash burger with a slice of turkey, stuffing, and cranberry aioli, and top it all off with gravy for dipping. 👌🏼👌🏼
