Our Story

Hwy55 Burgers, Shakes & Fries has brought a fresh, All-American diner experience since its start in 1991. Where its open-grill design, dedication to the community it serves, and care when hand-crafting meals are always front and center.

With an open grill, you can greet everyone who walks in. You can chat with guests sitting at the counter and cook fresh meals right in front of them. And isn't that what restaurants are supposed to be like? Neighbors bonding together over great service and tasty food?

Founded in North Carolina, Hwy55 began with a simple commitment: authentic hospitality, fresh food, open-grill cooking, and treating guests like neighbors. That commitment hasn't changed.
