Welcome to Harrison's

Harrison’s has been part of the Burlington, NC community since 1986. We’re located in New Market Square at 2773 S Church St, and we’ve been serving fresh, made-daily American food for nearly 40 years. We’re a small, family-owned spot that believes in doing things the right way—one meal at a time.

Real Food, Made Fresh Every Day

At Harrison’s, we prepare every dish fresh each day. We use locally sourced ingredients whenever we can. We don’t freeze meals or pull them from a box. Our food is simple, real, and made with care. One of our most popular meals is the Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich or Platter. People also keep coming back for the Reuben, the Smash Burger, and the smoked turkey sandwich. If you’ve eaten here before, you probably already have a favorite.

Fast, friendly, fresh, and hot! I had the chicken teriyaki, and it was delicious. I was in and out in 15 minutes, and I had to wait to take my first bite because it was so hot. I would recommend you give them a try.

2 meals and large beer battered sticks with 2 drinks for 20 dollars. Cant beat that for dinner anymore. Great service and the owner is very personable. Great sandwiches and the best cheese sticks I've ever had. Check them out. They are dine in also.
