After scanning the menu, I decided on the OG Burger to keep it simple. I did take note that all items are sold separately if you want fries and drinks. The menu doesn't have a massive selection, which can be easier for me at times. Since I ordered the side of fries, I also grabbed the sauce bundle for a fry party! The sauces were ok, but I don't think I'd purchase them again. The burger patties had good flavor and paired nicely with the fresh onions on the burger. The cheese was melted and layered between the patties bringing it all together. To me, the fries weren't as fresh as I would have preferred, but overall did enjoy the burger from here. Seating can be difficult depending on when you visit but we were able to find a table to enjoy our meals together with no issue.

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.

As a New Yorker we have our share of markets/food halls and OH fits the familiar script, with a slightly smaller footprint than what I've experienced.

Nonetheless, to all the foodies at heart those are just minor details for mere mortals... lol. We managed to grab a larger enough table and everyone circled until we made our individual choices and then returned to our central meeting spot to break bread and indulge in all of our finds. We enjoyed several of the eateries we experienced and I was particularly intrigued by the plant store (albeit kinda pricey). Returning is a no brainer especially for the places that were most memorable. Just A Note: Parking is not free, payment is required. Please note depending on the time of day it can be crowded so securing a spot will require patience.

This spot is great for a quick takeout breakfast. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. It's a carryout-only place-so no seating, just grab and go.

They do have indoor seating, but it's a smaller space. A lot of people seem to grab it to-go and enjoy it at home with family -- which makes sense. Either way, dine-in or takeout, it works.

I happen to know that some of the best food comes from the roughest looking places sometimes. The interior has definitely seen better days. Google maps needs to change their directions for getting to the restaurant.

It's right across the street from Church's. The restaurant itself is to the right of the Boost mobile store. I ordered the okra & a chef salad. The okra came out good & hot. The salad looked good. I asked the guy for blue cheese dressing; he said he only had ranch. I almost didn't see it hidden under the tomatoes & meat. I liked that they used all romaine lettuce from what I can see. Didn't care for the crackers being laid on the top of the salad or the ranch container inside the salad in light of cross contamination, etc. Don't think the crackers would've been crushed or the dressing spilled being put on the side of the bag.

Honest Review I…read moretried Touchdown Wings for the first time tonight and ordered the 10pc Wings Combo with fries and a Pepsi Zero. I got the BBQ Gold wings with ranch. The BBQ Gold sauce was DELICIOUS! However, the chicken itself had absolutely no seasoning, and neither did the fries. I definitely love my food seasoned, so that was a little disappointing--especially because I can cook and I like to taste seasoning as soon as I take my first bite . The fries were hot, and the wings were hot, so that was a plus. I ended up adding some Lawry's seasoning myself, and OMG... that made both the chicken and fries taste 100x better! I did order about 27 minutes before closing, so maybe that played a part, but I'd definitely give them another try because that BBQ Gold sauce was really good. Next time, I just need y'all to season that chicken and those fries! Overall: good sauce, hot food, but definitely needs more seasoning. Update: I ordered again today for the second time. I had the 10-piece combo with BBQ Gold again. No seasoning on the fries, smh, and no seasoning on the meat. This time, some of the meat was so hard that I couldn't even swallow it.
