Great place to grab lunch on a beautiful day. I had the French Quarter Salad w/ grilled chicken and it was fantastic. Service was good and the food came relatively fast for a lunch rush. The best part of the experience was eating outside on a beautiful day, when we went inside to pay it was pretty loud. read more

Fast service, good beer selection including locals on draft. Burger was well seasoned (ordered it "spiced"). Chicken quesadilla was a tasty appetizer. The grilled chicken was decent as well. Only complaint was the burger was a touch dry and took a while to get our check. read more

Baked chicken lunch is outstanding even comes with tea. Can't beat the price, usually I don't like baked chicken but this was absolutely delicious!! Potatoes and broccoli were great too!! read more

When I worked Uptown, this was one of the regular haunts for me & my co-workers because it is inexpensive and offers pretty good variety. I woulldn't consider this place as a cajun/creole place but the food that they serve is typical American-Greek fare with a couple of New Orleans style dishes thrown in for good measure. Usually the specials are pretty solid. read more

I do miss working downtown since this is a nice spot to get some after work beverages (or 10). Very laid back, no frills atmosphere to this place with an eclectic menu so I am sure there is something everyone can find to eat here. Location, helpful staff, and tasty food/drinks makes me give this place a solid 3 stars. read more

The burgers are great! Hearty. I had the mushroom. My kids had the jalapeño and the bacon burgers. The beef was juicy. I asked for it spiced. I am glad I did. Total home run! I'll be back to try other menu items. read more

Red beans and rice perfection. Now, I have a high standard for thus dish because no one's is better than my auntie's but the French Quarter's come close. I had the andouille sausage on the side, just in case they weren't right but I was pleasantly surprised. They had the right amount of kick so I added them to the rice. The portion was crazy. I thought it was going to be a side dish, nope, it was a dinner plate portion. So if you order it you won't be eating anything else. Plus it came with a slice of garlic bread that was crispy and soft, as garlic bread should be. Loved this lunch and its my first meal in Charlotte. This is the start of a beautiful vacation. read more

Very confused by this spot. When I lived up town (2012), I remember this place being very different. The location is so so amazing so I hope they really step their game up. They are right across from the brand new park Uptown. They advertise their dishes to be "comfort food with a touch of cajun" but that really doesnt come through at all. It is simply a Greek restaurant called French Quarter. Having said that, they do have very good daily lunch specials and numerous local beers on tap up at the bar. I have stopped in here a few times for a quick lunch while at work and ordered the chicken tips. The best part was the gravy. Everything else... so-so. -Ian M. read more

Came with with friends during lunch. Very busy with short wait times. Very loud too. Difficult to hold conversations. Seating too close together. Waitress was polite and very attentive. I had the Friday special- salad and cup of lobster soup. Very basic. Soup was mediocre. Definitely not homemade. read more

When I worked in uptown Charlotte, this used to be my lunch spot once a week. I used to go on Mondays, less busier than the rest of the week and get there before noon to get seated promptly. Service: Fast and polite, the couple that runs the place are always charming and aim to get the most people in and out with a smile My favs to order: red beans and rice (monday's) grilled chicken breast sandwich chicken salad sandwich sweet tea cajun fish special (friday's) Ambiance: It is a bit dark inside and table are tight but the food and service totally makes it worthwhile. I miss this place during my lunchs in NYC! read more

The in-laws were in town this past weekend, so we decided to show them the newly opened Romare Bearden Park. The park was a lot of fun and after checking it out we decided to stroll over to French Quarter for lunch. I had high hopes for French Quarter, given my love of Uptown restaurants and my affinity for Cajun-inspired food, but I have to say both the food and the customer service was a major letdown. Our server was not very attentive, forgot what we ordered, brought our food out without silverware and took several minutes to provide us with silverware so that we could actually eat, and failed to refill our drinks. The restaurant was also FREEZING... last Saturday was literally the nicest day of the year and they had the air on what had to be 65, totally unnecessary! Once we were finally able to eat our food, it was a) cold from us not getting silverware for a few minutes and the restaurant being crazy cold & b) not that great. The gumbo tasted like it came from a can and the mashed potatoes tasted like they were instant. If the food and service wasn't enough to leave a bad impression, the restrooms were disgusting and there was no toilet paper. I will definitely not be returning to French Quarter... which is a shame because they're in a primo location! read more

I have been here three times now. For some reason a lot of my coworkers really like it. It's a popular lunch-time destination. They are known for their southern, Louisiana style dishes. I would say it's just pretty typical, heaving-tasting foods. Their gyros are not bad actually, but the creole with shrimp and blacken fish I had as a lunch special were just too salty and heavy for me. I'm sure some who love their soul food would appreciate it, but it wasn't for me. It gets pretty crowded during lunch hours, and the spaces are quite tight. read more

We stopped by for dinner on a Wednesday - pretty quiet inside. We were intrigued by the Beef Tips special on the board outside, as we enjoy some New England Steak Tips and thought this might be similiar - wrong. Turned out to be more like stew beef over rice, not what we were expecting but also not notably tasty. It was served with big broccoli stalks randomly covered in cheese - also not my fav. The saving grace of this meal was the Salt & Pepper Wings. So good! I asked for a side of hot sauce in case they were bland but it wasn't needed. Super crispy and tasty, I might go back again just to have those. The wings saved this from being a 2 star adventure. Service was OK, could have been more on-point given how slow they were that evening. read more

Food is good for the low lunch/dinner prices. Service is excellent and location is excellent. I have no idea why I haven't tried this place sooner. I ordered te London Broil and I was pleased. read more

This place has been a staple of my weekday lunches, particularly the baked chicken special on thursdays. Great portion with a quarter of the chicken white or dark, mashed potatoes with awesome gravy and broccoli which comes with hollandaise. I usually tell them to leave it off since I don't care much for it. Honestly this special is so good that it's the only thing I order here! read more

We were greeted by a happy wait staff and treated to a free beer -for a tip- and were able to get a table outside in just few minutes. My friend and I ordered the London broil pita tziki sauce-recommended by our waitress. The meat was very tender and the entire meal was great! Will definitely be back! Oh and the ladies room was neat and clean! read more

Love this place - hit it today, quick in and out for lunch and the food is always great! Still my favorite spot in CLT!

Good food, great staff, good prices! Got the portobello sandwich with an extra side of tzatziki sauce to dip my fries in.

The best part about this place was the great service. The owner, his son and our waitress were extremely attentive . The food is definitely on the heavier side but it was good. I would definitely recommend trying it. Its a small place but it has a line out the door on Sunday. My boyfriend had a fried sandwich and I had their version of the Reuben. The prices were extremely reasonable. I will definitely be back. read more

It's good - the food is especially good, and reasonably priced. If I have an issue, it's with the service - inconsistent and hard to predict. Appetizers and food come out at the same time, so you end up with a table full of food that you have to race to eat before it gets cold. The food is actually good enough that I put up with the service - so, it's definitely a keeper, just don't be surprised when things go a bit off the rails... read more

Coming in to enjoy a leisure lunch with my wife and left completely disappointed. We ordered the gumbo only to have the server explain to us that the kitchen guys said they were not making gumbo today. Ordered the Monte Cristo and clearly asked "does this come with fries" told yes. Sandwich comes out with fruit. When I ask the server where are my fries she replies "oh you wanted some fries". She then brings out the fries and CHARGES me for her mistake. My wife had the chicken quesadillas. Not a great selection at all. Not a lot of flavor. Just cheese and chicken. When it was time for our bill, we alerted the server to the issue with the fries and she acted totally clueless. We thought we may have found a diamond in midtown Charlotte but what we found was a cubic zirconium. If you are looking for great New Orleans style food, DON'T eat at the French Quarter, eat somewhere else. read more

Really chill place, good service. The name is misleading to be honest- it is more Greek than Cajun. Still, we had a good time and will likely go back. Good beer selection, we didn't try the food, maybe next time. read more

I recently started working uptown and I wanted to find a local place to hang out after work some nights, I found this little gem. On the corner of Brevard Court and Church Street, this place is simply amazing! I'm on a budget, so 3.50 pints on Thursday night is exactly what this girl was looking for. The bartender, Libby, knows what I want when I walk in and I've only been there few times. Great service and excellent prices! I love this place!!! read more

A great little restaurant with quick service, a great spot for lunch during the work week. My favorite items on the menu are the steak sandwich (to die for) and the she crab bisque which they have on Fridays. The salads are simple but still very good. I would recommend for a quick bite to eat but definitely not for a nice dinner out. The bar area is also very small but old school and gives the entire restaurant a cool vibe. Definitely resembles an eatery in the New Orleans area. read more

Very cool hole in the wall bar. Our server was very friendly and the food was delicious. I had the po boy sandwich. It was yummy and the cajun sauce was the exact amount of spicy! read more

A co-worker and myself stopped her for lunch. After inquiring about the daily lunch special, we decided to order it. When our food arrived the lunch special was not as the waitress had described. She then got mad when we had told her that this isn't what we ordered and she was very rude. As a part owner in a restaurant myself her attitude and behavior was unacceptable towards the paying customer. We decided to just pay for it an leave. The bald guy at the register was very rude and was not friendly at all. He has no facial expressions when you greet him or will ignore you when speaking to him. All in all bad experience will never go back due to the rude staff. read more

Ok so we stopped here after a walk in Charlotte. It's not bad. First let me say if you want friendly service this place is probably not for you. If you want a good burger than your in luck. It's inexpensive and good. We sat on the street which was nice. The fries were a little spicy so if your stomach can't handle a little spice then avoid the fries. All in all, I give this place 3 flushes. The service could have been a little better. read more

Okay so My family and I are out enjoying the Romare Bearden Park Sunday around 9:15 p.m.and decided to grab a bite at my Favorite pizza joint. No way. The restaurant was closed so we strolled into French Quarter. Very tight when you first walk in. We were immediately greeted with a warm smile from the bartender. We were seated in the back where we could see the fireworks from the baseball game. Ordered Wings and the Monte Cristo. The waitress was nice. Food came fresh! Best Monte Cristo ever. Wings very crunchy. Waitress not very attentive after that. Matter of fact she never came back. Poor service Great food. read more

Fast and great service... Good bar/Greek food... Great music selection... Will return read more

Love the area this restaurant is located. Unfortunately we didn't get to spend much time, but will definitely plan to do so when I return to the city. This restaurant was okay. The food was pretty good. We sat outside amongst smokers...unfortunately. The inside appeared small and extremely casual. The waitress was very friendly and helpful with providing the popular and her fave dish on the menu. I ordered the gyro and ate it all! The fries were pretty good too. They say they have the best burger... I will have to put that to the test next time. read more

Not a bad little pub. Had the sliders, salt and pepper wings, and mushroom burger -- forgettable, but good. The fries are what I will remember, and come back for. read more

Dropped in for lunch with a friend while in Charlotte on business. Very loud, but good service and a very tasty Monte Cristo sandwich.. but very loud. read more

OMG!!!! The Monte Cristo is out of this world!!!! The ingredients do not sound like they fit together but the flavor explodes in your mouth!! If you have a chance to visit, do it!!! read more

This place is always packed at lunch so go early, late or plan to wait! Their weekly lunch specials are probably some of the best priced around. My personal favorite is Thursday's baked chicken w/broccoli and cauliflower and mashed potatos. Portions are large so ask for a box of you eat light. In the warmer months they have outside seating. read more

I have had the baked Chicken (Thursday special) and it is WONDERFUL!. A great change from all the chain and fast food restaurants downtown. It does get very crowded and little awkward when it is that way. The food comes fast and is delicious. I have only been here for weekday lunches, usually Thursday. My coworkers love the other specials too. If you are looking for a change from the everyday, this place is a great one to start! read more

Great food and great service. The atmosphere is wonderful right in the heart of uptown Charlotte.

Not really sure why they call this place The French Quarter. Nothing about the menu items say Louisiana or French Quarter. The decor has slight hints of Bourbon Street. My family ordered the bacon burger, chicken fingers, and a Greek wrap. No real kids menu. The food was very tasty, waitress was very cordial. Nice place for basic bar food. read more

This restaurant isn't the worst but isn't the best either. The cons are poor parking, there is a parking garage close by with very limited spots. The service was lacking at 230-3 pm on a Wednesday. The manager doesn't take concerns very well. The chicken jumbo takes like it is Cambell chicken soup. Pros. Other than the one problem with the soup the food is good. The Chicken on Pita and the Monte Cristo were both delicious. read more

First time here. Try the she crab soup if you're here on Friday or Saturday, and the Cajun Salmon is excellent. Great service, friendly waitress, and the food was top-notch. Good beer selection as well! read more

I think this is your typical bar food and could improve some of the quality. The ambiance inside is cool but comes across a little dirty at times read more
