Called in an order. ASKED do you have fish. Oh yeah. Asked is it good ..absolutely. got there. Oh…read morewe don't have fish...it's frozen trying to thaw now. Ordered 3 hot dogs...had to park and wait with no discount. They are unprofessional. Wait time was stupid....and no customer recovery. We'll go to johnnys..which sucks too but at least they know what's going on. That place is little, dirty and I hate my husband for continuing going there. Finally, he sees my point. Oh byw..just had 1 bite of hot dog..freaking sucks. If you want a great bbq place foot long hot dog within 15 miles. ...go to college bbq..or even hot dog shack.not not not there

Food was decent. My daughter and I both got salads, the chicken and shrimp were seasoned well and…read morewell cooked. Plenty of toppings and lettuce was fresh. My only moment was the block of feta cheese...it wasn't bad, it was just a little weird. But it was also fresh and tasted fine. Inside was clean and service was good.

We had an event and ordered 5 large pepperoni pizzas. You could tell the pizzas were cooked a day…read moreor two before and just warmed up. Worst pizza we have ever had. Would not recommend. The pizza tasted like cheap pizza sauce on cardboard. Such a shame. This place use to be good but based on what they gave us you can tell that the care in quality good food is not there. I don't like supporting major chains but anywhere else would have been a better choice. a frozen pizza from the grocery story would have tasted better.

I noticed this restaurant while traveling through the area on the way to somewhere else. We were…read morehungry & wanted something different. The food selection was incredible and I had a hard time making a decision on what to try. I live near the coast & enjoyed an excellent flounder lunch that was equal to or possibly better than what I can get at home. Staff did not miss a beat when the power suddenly failed half way through our meal. They quickly made the adjustment to work offline and kept smiles on their face. I will be back!

We ate at the Rockwell Diner after church today, and I will never go back. I ordered the 12 oz…read moreribeye with a baked potato and salad. My grandmother had the marinated chicken with a baked potato and salad. We both ended up sending our meals back to order something else. Her chicken was dry and tough, and my ribeye was the toughest ribeye I have ever eaten. The salads and baked potatoes were very good. We then ordered chicken quesadillas, which were mediocre at best. The service was awful. We could not even tell who our waitress was because after taking our order, we never saw her again. Someone else brought the food. I had to get up and find someone to address the issues with the steak and chicken. No one apologized, except the cashier, who was very kind and polite. The manager was seated in a booth with other waitresses and never bothered to come by or apologize for either the food or the service. This was my third time at Rockwell Diner, and it will be my last, which is unfortunate because I like to support local businesses. The first time, the food was good, but the service was less than stellar. The second time, the food was just okay and the service still was not good. Today was the final straw.

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.

Our server, I forget her name, was the epitome of hospitality and service. She anticipated our needs (refills, to go containers etc) - chatted about the history or the restaurant and town - providing suggestions not just for dinner but attractions on our way to our destination. She was just so very cool. The food was great - I opted for Greek Spaghetti. Different than I've had before but enjoyed it all the same. It was like the flavor was liquid or broth form, pooled at the bottom of the dish. Another version I had was dry, like Pesto. Anyway - when I figured out all the goodness was at the bottom of the plate - it was all over from there. Mixed it up a little. Toss in a little crushed red peppers for taste. Then inhaled it all until it was all gone. The al dente noodles. Charred chicken. All just right. The service for me made it an excellent experience. Food was good and I enjoyed it enough that if I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely stop in - but not before trying other places first. But if I lived in the area, I'd be a regular.
