    We have lift off! I was good and ready for these retro smash burger. I got the Royal minus tomato. It was massive! 2 quarter lbs all natural, premium Angus by Creekstone Farms on a buttery Brioche bun with house-made Pickles, Ribbon Red Onions, signature sauce and California creamery white American cheese served "Medium" which was indeed perfection. Its massive. Heavily loaded and dar good. I waited till I got home. It was still warm and the seasoned fries were delicious. They're a thin cut fry with a nice spice. I wasn't expecting that. It was a flavor explosion that barley made it home. The All natural, handcrafted soda from Boylan was phenomenal. Its the pellet ice fa me. The Black cherry hits different when the bougie eyes comes out. I felt lifted while I sipped my emotions. The staff was young as to be expected but very friendly and the location is bright and open with a dinner vibe. I love that they capitalized on the space by adding outside seating which is rare down here. Harriet's is as much about being good to people as it is about making good food. So, Just be good!

    Food: absolutely amazing! Very fresh, fries super hot and the special thing is the CHEESE CURDS! Service: amazing! They bring to the table and they check on you very frequently. Special shout out to Nicole whom I noticed was accommodating a dad with an autistic boy whom was bothered with the noise. Nicole brought the meal to their car. Kudos! Ambiance: it is not that big but has enough seats. There are seats outside as well.

    The OG

    Let me start with the staff as that is the highlight. Absolutely amazing. So friendly and service oriented. Some fantastic employee training and expectations. The restaurant recently opened so it was fresh and new and very clean. Not too loud even though it was crowded. On to the food. Cheese Curds - I have had the good fortune to travel throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota and have some of the best cheese curds around. These are not that. So oily and lacked flavor. Do not recommend. Jucy Lucy - again, have had the good fortune to visit Matt's in Minneapolis. The originator of the Jucy Lucy. This version is pathetic. I hate to be so blunt but it is truly below average. Not much cheese and lukewarm at best in temp. The whole thing lacked flavor. The OG - their signature burger. Gotta be honest again - it is an average burger. Nothing special about it at all. Fries - the fries are pretty good. I did enjoy those. Overall, I do not recommend this place.

    Loved this spot in Optimist Hall and now they opened a location right by me! I came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was not too crowded. The staff was super friendly! I ordered the OG burger and a side of fries with garlic aioli. The burger was juicy and flavorful. The fries were nice and crispy. I love how fresh everything tasted. Overall, the food is great and I'm excited to finally have a good local business in the Concord Mills area!

    Greeted as I entered the very clean and organized space. Burger was a good size but oily/greasy. Fries were just ok, texture is a little tough. Very pricey at $16 for burger and fries. Nothing to spread the word about. May try again another day.

    The OG with fries

    I've eaten at Harriet's at Optimus Hall and this location was just as delicious! You order at the register, and the server was very friendly and helpful. The young man who brought the food to our table was just as cute as he could be. Smiling and excited for us to try the food. The seating is padded benches against the windows but no backed stools on the other side of the table so this might be harder for older clientele to sit comfortably. But over all a great location, good food but very pricy for fast foodish hamburgers.

    French fries

    Good French fries. They are nice and hot with good flavor. I didn't need any ketchup they are good as is.

    One of the best burgers in Charlotte! This new location is so bright and welcoming. The staff was so friendly. Highly recommend!

    OG burger

    Food: Got the OG Burger, cheese curds, & crispy fries. All were very good, especially a fan of the cheese curds. OG burger was around $10 with the fries around $4 and cheese curds around $7. Service: Got our meal to-go and was in and out in about 15 minutes. Easy go-to spot. Ambiance: Was not super busy, loved the color scheme.

    The fries are good and crispy, but the cheese curds by themselves are reason enough to go.

    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.

    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.

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. And honestly, The Alley is really hyper confusing. So I pull into QCBC just looking for a burger and a beer. And dayum!! Did they deliver!!! First...my bartender comes in super cool. 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!!!
