    A cheeseburger with an egg, bacon and avocado. Completely loaded. It was so good.
    Tim J.

    The place was super busy. But I still got great service. I Had an incredible hamburger and a couple of beers.. it was mouthwatering and hit the spot. Thank you.

    Bacon cheeseburger

    Had a quick layover in Concourse C at Charlotte Douglas and grabbed a bite at Bad Daddy Burger. There was a line, but it moved fast. I ended up sitting at the bar by the back window. The seat wasn't the most comfortable--maybe that's their way of keeping people moving. The burger was cooked just right, and the jalapeño bacon was really good.

    Sliders with caramelized onion and cheese

    Near gate 7 in the C section found this cool spot for burgers. This place looked inviting and was very full. That is always a good sign. The place has TVs with sports on and beers on draft at the bar. My wife and I split the 3 sliders and an order of fries. Both were great and plenty enough for 2 to share. The service was fast but not to fast. Like it all.

    Breakfast burger no egg. Meh.

    Flight delays left me in Charlotte for an extended period of time and since I've been traveling since early in the morning, I needed to eat but didn't want to go far from my gate. Bad Daddy's Burger Bar was one of the closest so that's where I headed. When I checked the hours online, it said it was closed until 11 so when I saw it was open I was surprised. Anyway, I sat at the bar and ordered a glass of wine. Of course it was very expensive but it's a captive audience and I'm sure rent is a premium. Looking at the menu and it was a bunch of egg dishes, which I wasn't in the mood for. To be honest, I'd rather have a salad or chicken but it was too early for lunch so I ordered the breakfast burger with no egg, so essentially a bacon cheeseburger. It was okay. I ate less than half of it. It was kind of dry and I wasn't feeling the breakfast potatoes. Wish I had waited to get something for lunch, which I would've had time for since my flight was delayed again.

    Located in Concorse C. Condensed menu consisted of only 2 Giant salads to choose from and burgers, sandwiches, apps and sides. Everything tasted delicious. Very few seating options so there will be a wait time. Un less you have hours before a flight, I wouldn't recommend this as a quick bite to eat place. Our server was friendly and efficient. As best as you could get located inside the airport.

    Chicken tenders
    Katy C.

    We had about an hour to grab a bite to eat before flying out of CLT and this spot was near our gate. I tried to order on the QR code at our table, but it wouldn't let me. (We were able to cash out using that QR code, though.) Luckily our food came out quickly and we had enough time. They do have a takeout window as well. This place obviously specializes in burgers, but I was craving some chicken tenders. Nate got the mushroom burger with tots. The chicken tenders came with fries, ranch, and their house sauce which tasted like a tangier Cane's sauce. The chicken tenders were just okay, maybe that's my fault for not ordering a burger at a burger place. The chicken itself was juicy and tender, but the tenders were incredibly greasy like their fryer wasn't hot enough. The fries were also not great - just didn't seem very fresh or fried enough. Luckily the ranch was the good ranch and I was able to take some of the greasy breading off the chicken. I had a few bites of Nate's burger, which was actually quite good. The mushrooms were tasty and the burger was juicy and cooked nicely. The tots were also a victim of the greasy fryer, just not the best. I wouldn't necessarily come back here, but it did the trick in a pinch.

    I stopped by here while leaving Charlotte for a work trip. Bad Daddy's is a good choice in the city so I figured it would be good in the airport. I was getting breakfast so I was a little worried. BUT, the food was actually pretty good. I got french toast and bacon. It did the trick and I was happy with my choice. Friendly service and didn't take long at all. I took my order to go and ate at my gate but they provided all the tools and utensils I needed. Great airport bite for sure.

    Sweet potato fries
    Jessica A.

    Quick stop en route to my gate, I ordered a vanilla milkshake, but they were out of all milkshakes. So I opted for the sweet potato fries. Menu said they came with blue cheese crumbled, but all I got was plain sweet potato fries and the dipping sauce. Very overpriced for what it was. Service was fast. Fries were good, but not what I expected.

    Stopped in at Bad Daddy's Burger Bar during a layover in Charlotte and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the All-American Burger meal, came out fresh, hot, and delicious. Service was friendly and quick. Great spot for a bite between flights!

    Magic Mushroom (impossible) burger

    One of a kind burger joint. The Magic Mushroom (impossible) burger with fries. Delish! Bad daddy sauce is perfect to dip burger or fries. The poblano frites appetizer is amazing!! with its chipotle & jalapeño ranch sauces. Service is always great whether dining alone at the bar or meeting family/friends.

    mushroom burger with tots to go
    Courtney C.

    First off, you're at an airport so you have to have airport expectations- but honestly this place is a great airport option- everything seemed very fresh and homemade- kids loved the tater tots. It was evident that they make their own sauces which is great- i also appreciated the paper containers instead of plastic and that includes the sauce on the side containers which is great. I would definitely recommend this place! i mean it's pricy but like i said its airport food so what do you expect?? the staff were very kind and helpful. It looks like it has a nice ambiance too- definitely seems like the best option if in terminal c!

    Located inside the lively Optimist Hall, Harriet's Hamburgers is a great stop if you're craving a…read moresimple, well-executed smash burger. Optimist Hall itself is a very food-centric, upscale food hall with a ton of vendors, so the atmosphere is energetic and fun. Seating can be a little challenging during peak dinner hours since so many people are grabbing food from different spots, but when the weather is nice there's plenty of outdoor seating. Harriet's keeps their burger formula refreshingly simple. It's a classic smash burger done right--made to order with a straightforward menu that doesn't overcomplicate things. There's usually a line, but it moves pretty quickly, and the burgers come out hot and fresh. One of the best parts of eating here is the flexibility of the food hall experience. While you're waiting, you can grab a craft beer, a glass of wine, or even browse for dessert from one of the other vendors. Insider tip: Come with a group if you can. It's a great place to share fries and let everyone explore different vendors around the hall. Parking is fairly easy with the nearby garage, which makes the whole experience even more convenient. Overall, Harriet's is a fun, delicious stop for a smash burger, especially if you're already enjoying the energy of Optimist Hall.

    After seeing Harriet's Hamburgers all over TikTok being crowned "the best burger in Charlotte," I…read morehad to see what the hype was about. I live super close to Optimist Hall, so it's been on my radar for a while. This particular night I wasn't feeling great, so I DoorDashed instead of dining in. I ordered the Royale with crispy fries and let me just say... I get it. The burger was genuinely impressive. The quality of the beef stood out immediately. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The meat to bun ratio was spot on, which is crucial. Nothing worse than a bread heavy burger. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh, the build was balanced, and even after delivery, everything held up beautifully. So far I've tried two burger spots in Charlotte, and this one takes the top spot. I'm not ready to declare it the best in the entire city just yet because my burger tour is ongoing, but right now it's leading the race. I'll definitely be going to Optimist Hall soon to try it fresh off the grill and experience the service and atmosphere firsthand. Expect an update. But based on this first round alone, Harriet's is absolutely worth the order. Burger lovers, this one deserves a try.

    As a West Coast transplant now living in Charlotte, I have very specific standards when it comes to…read moreburgers. For me, the gold standard isn't fancy -- it's balance. Think that perfect meat-cheese-bread ratio you get at an In-N-Out: not too big, not too messy, not dripping everywhere, but still juicy and satisfying. A burger you can actually pick up and enjoy without resorting to a knife and fork like George Costanza. That's why I appreciate Ace No. 3. Their menu is refreshingly simple -- burgers, fries, shakes -- and that simplicity tells me they know exactly what they do well. Everything is made to order, and the consistency shows. The Ace burger is my go-to, and it delivers every time. The shoestring fries are excellent, and the sweet potato tots are another favorite. I've also treated myself to a milkshake here and there, and they're worth it. Fun bonus: they offer "boozy shakes" for adults, which adds a playful twist -- just note they have to be enjoyed on site. They also keep a short, rotating list of beers, which I appreciate. It's curated, not overwhelming. One thing I noticed recently -- and as a fellow marketer, I have to applaud this -- is their milkshake happy hour from 2-4 PM. That's a smart strategy to drive traffic during slower hours between lunch and dinner. Simple, effective, and well executed. A few practical notes: Parking can be a little tight because the lot behind the restaurant is small, but if you go during off-peak hours or order ahead for pickup, it's manageable. The Belmont neighborhood location is easy to get in and out of, and while it's not a high-traffic pedestrian area, that can actually work in your favor. Bottom line: As someone who grew up with West Coast burger culture, this is the closest I've found in Charlotte to that classic, satisfying bite -- even if it costs a bit more than In-N-Out. The quality and execution make it worth it. Get out there, eat well, be curious -- and follow me as I continue eating my way through Charlotte.
