THE FASTEST & FRESHEST LUNCH BREAK IN
BURLINGTON
HOT DOGS, BBQ, & SOUP + SANDWICH FROM $5.99
Tired of waiting for a table at a diner, needing cash for a hot dog, or trying to find parking Downtown? At It's All Good Southern Kitchen, we serve scratch-made country cooking with the speed of a drive-thru. Our counter-service model is designed for the Burlington workforce—whether you're clocking out from LabCorp, Elevate Textiles, or retailers at Alamance Crossing, you can get a hot, homemade meat-and-two lunch in under 8 minutes. Plus, with lunch combos starting at just $5.99, it’s a smarter, more consistent, and faster choice than a cold sandwich.
We're close to work just 4 miles from Downtown Burlington Depot, just three miles from Burlington City Park, and just a mile from Joe C Davidson Park! Coming from Elon University? We're just two miles from there too at 3281 S Church St A in Burlington, NC.

BURLINGTON LUNCH FAQ
What makes It's All Good the best spot for a quick lunch in Burlington? Speed and variety. Unlike sit-down spots like Blue Ribbon Diner or The Village Grill, we are 100% counter-service. This means you order immediately, get your food in minutes, and don't have to wait for a server to bring a check or worry about leaving a huge gratuity at the end. You get the quality of a sit-down meal with the speed of fast food.
Do you accept credit cards? Yes! Unlike some historic downtown lunch spots (like Zack’s Hot Dogs) that are cash-only or charge a processing fee like many restaurants, we accept all major credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay with no added fees. You never need to hunt for an ATM to enjoy our hot dogs or burgers.
I only have 30 minutes for lunch. Can I get in and out on time? Absolutely. Our average ticket time is under 6 minutes. If you are in a rush, we recommend ordering ahead via our website so your food is bagged and ready the second you walk in the door. We are a favorite for staff at LabCorp and Cone Health for this exact reason.
Do you serve hot food or just sandwiches? We specialize in hot, stick-to-your-ribs meals. While places like Harrison’s serve great sandwiches, sometimes you need a hot plate of Beef Tips over Rice or Mama’s Meatloaf to get you through the rest of the workday. We offer both hot plates and lighter sandwich combos.
What are your most affordable lunch options? Our "Working Man's Specials" start at just $5.99 with 8 total options under $8. This includes our "All The Way" Hot Dog combo or our Soup & Sandwich combos. It is arguably the best value lunch in Alamance County.
