I kid you not it took at least 30 minutes to get my food. Food was good but you can't really screw up hot dogs or onion rings.

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.

Got their chicken tender plate with coleslaw and fries. It was pretty good. Tenders were a bit soggy though. Not my favorite. Their coleslaw was VERY vinegar-y and NOT my favorite at all.

While attending the Legacy National Dance Competition the food truck was on site. It has been a…read morelong day; we were starving. We paid $17+ for a chicken sandwich plate and a chicken tender basket. We ended up throwing the chicken away and only eating the chips. The chicken was fried floured fat and grease! Out of 3 or 4 tenders I was able to get enough meat off all of them to have maybe one tender. The deserts appeared to be brownies, cookies, and a couple of cup cakes that looked almost melted as they sit in the container basking in the sun. This was our first experience with a food truck and it was a very disappointing one!

Was in Matthews and wanted to try a new spot, and honestly, I was a bit disappointed. The fries…read morewere definitely the highlight though, you really can't go wrong with the hand-cut fries. Crispy just how I like them. The cashier wasn't very friendly, but maybe they were just having a bad day. Still, if I tell you it's my first time there, I'd think that's an opportunity to explain the menu or how the burgers work. Instead, I just ended up saying, "Give me a bacon cheeseburger." Now, the young woman who brought out my food had great customer service, so again, maybe the cashier was just off that day. As for the burger itself, it was way too salty for my taste. They do have some pretty good juices that I think are made in-house, which was a plus. But overall, the prices didn't feel worth it to me. I honestly could've gone to Chili's, gotten a better burger and an appetizer, and still spent about $8 less. I probably won't be back unless someone convinces me I just caught them on a bad day.

During football games they have a decent game day menu where you can get steak bites or wings, etc among several other things. I have had them and they've been great, today however the steak pieces were tiny and full of stringy fat. The wings overcooked and dry. Pitchers and buckets of beer for $15 and drinks for $6 help ease the pain of the food. Service by our waiter was great but food and bar were slooowwwww. Clearly kitchen issues didn't help the food situation. Its a vibrant spot with lots of TVs for the games. If you're going for drinks and sports, perfect. Food, you're at a 50/50 chance of decent bar food.

The quality of the chicken and ingredients was very good and the ranch was fantastic. Tried the blue wave milkshake, but the tropical flavor was more subtle than I was hoping. Overall, the food was really solid and we'd go back.

I wanted a quick snack of some wings before I picked up some sandwiches to go. I went belly up to the bar for my order with only one other person sitting at the bar. Said person proceeded to tell me that this place was recently robbed and also talked about how she thought her car was haunted. She told me multiple times that she didn't drink while she was drinking. It was strange, but I'm not going to dock the restaurant for that, they can't control their patrons. I think the prices have gone up a little compared to the menu I saw online. It was $35 for 2 Reubens and 6 wings. I guess that's about right for these days and times, but seemed like it was a couple bucks more than it should be. I'll probably be back, but just going to call my order in next time.
