Claudia L.

Looking for a quick bite to eat after arriving late in Charlotte and found this nice fast food joint with a line of cars in the drive thru. Offering a variety of typical fast food fare with advertised farm to table Ingredients. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Lovely dining area good for families with kids and bigger groups. Butter burger and fries were tasty - chicken fingers were okay. Service was great - friendly and helpful!

Great service each time in the drive through. Counter pickup see ice is inconsistent at best while management, I'll presume in the Back polos, leave much to be desired. Specifically lady with the strawberry blondish pony just hanging and swanging around the food but open top drinks made my heart skip a beat. Like, she doesn't even think of it. Anywhoo, they do a horrible job promoting their local specials BECAUSE for BOGO ice coolers.... I would have been here 5x a week. No shame

Was in the area and decide to stop in for lunch, I wanted some Swedish meatballs from ikea, but my son preferred culvers and since I have not had it in a while, I complied! The restaurant was clean, we decided to dine in. My son ordered the cheeseburger kids meal and added bacon to his burger the kids meal comes with fries and a drink, you also get a coupon for a free scoop of ice cream. I ordered a deluxe cheeseburger and subbed my fries for cheese curds. My son inhaled his food! When asked he said his food was good. Maybe my tastebuds are changing on me because I found the burger to be a bit on the salty side, the cheese curds were hard to enjoy because they to were salty. The hamburger patty didn't have the signature crispy edges that a good Culver burger is known for. Idk, fast food lately has been really letting me down. After we ate, we redeemed the coupon for the free scoop of ice cream, they are able to either get a scoop of the flavor of the day or a scoop of vanilla or chocolate custard. With that free scoop they can choose one topping. I got a turtle sundae and it was delightful!

Alexis(?) was great, very pleasant and patient with our order. Love the variety of food and custard options available. Restroom was clean.

After just moving out here and trying my first experience with the famous "butter burger" I am impressed. Upon entering the restaurant it was very spacious and clean. The staff were very welcoming and helpful in navigating the menu in search of the perfect burger. I found it in the limited time Colby Jack Pub Burger. This is a double beef butter burger with Wisconsin colby jack cheese, crispy onions, A.1. pepper mayo sauce on an everything bun. The combo comes with a drink and a side. I naturally chose the cheese curds being a Wisconsin based company. The meal was amazing and probably the best fast food burger I've ever had. I was left wanting a shake, but had no room left after the double cheeseburger so sadly that experience will have to wait for another trip. I have not one bad thing to say of this place as it was truly amazing and am very much looking forward to my next visit.

Cod dinner
Tim A.

I love Culver's. Great burgers, good cod and the best custard. I walked in this one and the cashier looked like a robot. She had a hand on both sides of the register abs stared straight ahead, didn't say a word or acknowledge me. The lady at the other register finished that order and asked me to come over to her. She was very nice, took my order and took me through the process to get my custard later although I already knew. The drink station was in need of cleaning and restocking. All the tables were dirty, not super bad but someone had clearly eaten there since they had been cleaned. I think this was a management issue as there were a lot of staff at the tables outside on break. Everyone needs a break but maybe stagger them so the job gets done too. Culver's usually does a really good job with the cod and I get it regularly. At this location the breading was not crispy and there was lots of grease on the plate pooled up. The best part was the second lady at the counter. When I went back to get the custard sundae she didn't ended look at my ticket, she remembered what I ordered and brought it out right away. She is probably the only reason I've did not give them a 1 start. They really missed the mark .

I love a fried fish sandwich so I was excited to try the fried cod sandwich at Culver's. Their butter burgers are amazing so I had high expectations for the fish sandwich! The sandwich looked great but didn't have much flavor. Some salt and more tartar sauce would have made it better. I will stick to getting burgers in the future.

I've come here a few times since it's not too far from work. Always cooked to order and delicious. However this visit was still delish but it seemed like the burger was much thinner than other times. The meat to veggies ratio was definitely off for me. But overall, still good and I love getting the cheese sauce to dip my fries in. It's a must for me.

This was the best dinning experience I have ever had. Right after ordering, my food was hand delivered to me before I could even sit down. The food was amazing too.

Checking in at Culver's for some of those amazing cheese curds and I stumbled upon this shake (oh so good)!
Vee H.

Culver's is one of my favorite fast food spots due to the fact that they make most of their dishes as the customer orders them. If you order drinks, shakes or custards you'll receive them prior to pulling off. You'll receive a number placed on your mirror and your hot food is delivered to your car. A few things you'll want to try 1) the custards aka the thick and delicious ice cream, 2) the cheese curds; these are a mix of piping hot breaded mozzarella and cheddar cheese bites in a bag accompanied by a small container of marinara sauce for dipping. 3) the breaded chicken tenders. These are several of my family's favorites from Culver's and they are all great. Just a disclaimer: the cheese curds are addictive!

North Atlantic Cod dinner
Tina S.

I love this place for a good quality meal quick. Normally the register people are pleasant but I got a muscle head who didn't have much personality and was very short with me but I digress. I got my favorite North Atlantic cod dinner with fries, slaw and roll. It always comes out hot when they bring it to the table. I do wish the butter was softer to spread on my roll but at least it is REAL butter. I like the tartar sauce as well. They have great ice cream desserts. I will go back but watch out for long drive thru lines because everything is cooked to order. They have great burgers as well. Great family place! Enjoy!

Double butter burger
Chelsea D.

Best burger I have had in months! It came out quickly so the service was good! But the burger was so fresh and well put together. I also ordered cheese curds as well and they were good! I was very happy with my food and will be back. Check the mail! They send coupons too!

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.

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.

Food was not great! Their parking lots is full of grease dripping out of a fan. Smells awful…read more Imagine how dirty the inside is, if they just leave this sitting there like this.

Too many choices. Just red something simple, delicious, and contorting. But who? Enter QCBC. It's getting late. I'm hungry. And I want something simple.

She explains the menu and recommends a beer. I keep it simple...the QCBC Burger with provolone and fries. She recommends the Kolsch. I'm in!! Long story short...perfection!!! The burger is cooked exact to spec. The fries are crispy, seasoned and delicious, and the beer is a pitch-perfect match. Faith restored!!! I was skeptical going in. Walking out...full, happy, and looking forward to the next time I can settle up to the bar and enjoy another perfect burger and a beer experience. Seriously kids...hit it out of the park!!!

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. What never seems to change is that securing seating can be a challenge because all spots are "prime" real estate and the abundance of choices is an indecisive person's nightmare. 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.
