In the bustling city of Greystone, a food revolution is brewing, and it’s all thanks to the newly opened location of Craft Burger. Since launching in 2017 on Caldwell Mill Road, Barry O’Hare has committed to creating the best burgers in town. Now, with a second outpost on U.S. 280 that opened just this past July, the burger craze is ready to take flight!
So, what makes Craft Burger stand out in a crowded field of burger joints? According to Barry, it all boils down to the ingredients. “We’re a burger place, and we focus on using the best beef possible,” he explains with pride. “We use certified Angus beef, which is literally the best that you can get. I may pay more for it, but that’s fine because it makes a great burger!”
Alongside this choice cut of meat, Barry emphasizes the importance of the bun. “We use a nice potato roll, which is soft and gooey. It’s one of the key elements that makes the Craft Burger so delicious!” The balance between the beef, cheese, and the bun creates a taste explosion that keeps customers coming back for more.
You might be wondering which burger gets Barry’s top vote. He doesn’t hesitate to point to the Craft Burger with bacon, which is a true showstopper. This particular burger earned the coveted title at the 2019 Birmingham Burger Battle, and Barry is still riding that wave—or, as he jokingly puts it, “I guess I’m still the reigning champion. They haven’t had the contest since because of COVID!”
As Craft Burger continues to grow, fans are eager to know what’s next for the beloved eatery. Barry hints at some exciting changes, saying, “The only thing that we’re going to be adding now is catering. This is just to get the word out to offices nearby.” His strategy is simple: If new customers get a taste of Craft Burger through catering, they’ll want to check out the brick-and-mortar location too. It’s a win-win!
But it’s not just about burgers for Barry. He shares, “My favorite part about working in this industry is the people, by far.” The connections made with customers and staff alike create a warm atmosphere that adds to the experience of enjoying a great meal. Barry emphasizes that being hands-on and engaging with the community is what keeps him passionate about his work.
Craft Burger is more than just another spot to grab a bite to eat; it’s becoming a part of the Greystone fabric. With a stand-out menu, friendly service, and a dedication to quality, it’s easy to see why both locations have become favorites among locals. So, whether you’re a burger aficionado or someone who just loves a good meal, Craft Burger has something for everyone.
With catering on the way and delicious burgers to savor, it’s clear that Barry O’Hare and the Craft Burger team are only getting started. If you haven’t paid them a visit yet, what are you waiting for? The next great burger awaits you right here in Greystone!
