The popular SouthPark staple isn’t your typical burger joint. Known for its 18 specialty burgers, sushi and fusion dishes, Cowfish menu features classic American and Japanese flavors in traditional and unique ways with sushi, burgers and both combined in a “burgushi.”

“Fresh, never-frozen burgers, sushi, and combo plates are served under one cacophonous roof, along with eclectic music, and a space decked out with bright-red walls, offbeat artwork, and exotic fish (including real cowfish) in larger-than-life aquariums,” Yelp says. “Whether you want fries with sushi or edamame with burgers, at Cowfish, you can have it all.”

Cowfish was the only local restaurant featured in Yelp’s burger picks. Restaurants in Durham, Asheville, and Nags Head were also named in the list.
