    I love a good burger and Hinson's consistently delivers on just that. The burgers are cooked on a small flat top by the kindest man who truly appreciates his customers. I have had the Garden Burger, a hotdog, and the Hinson Burger and everything has always been prepared perfectly. It is a hidden gem, that may not be much to look at, but the food is on point!

    Don't miss out on this piece of history. Before Charlotte was a massive city, this place became an important place to meet and eat. Beer and wine available, reasonable prices and an experience that will transport you back to pre-2000.

    Burgers and dog on the flattop grill.

    Lively place to he at on a Friday evening. Arrived around 7:30pm on a Friday before we saw a movie…read morenext door at 9. Not busy yet so we were able to snag a table right infront of the pool table. My husband and friend were able to play multiple rounds of pool while waiting. Everyone was super friendly and efficient. Gave great recommendations. Tried their Irish sausage & hot honey pizza. All was delicious and had no complaints. They had someone there performing for the night which was pretty good but I only got to listen to two songs as we had to leave for the movies. Great hangout spot if you want a chill night or grab a quick bite and drink before the movies.

    Gianna M. is a liar. My fiance and I were talking to her friend and she got upset and hurt because…read moreshe was having a great time talking to us. We never picked up any negative vibes from her "coworker". We had never met these ladies before and my fiance and I were enjoying meeting new people at the bar. Gianna M. seemed hurt that we took all the attention away from her. Her father was a fellow alumni from Independence Highschool (Class of 85) and we were talkng with each other about the upcoming reunion that I was going to be DJing at as well as member of the graduation 'class of 85". Gianni M. Father was very polite to us. Gianni M. the whole time I was talking to her Father had this defeated look on her face and just looked angry the whole time we were in there. She just snapped on us when my beautiful fiancé and I were talking to her friend. She was happy speaking to us and never got any weird vibes from here when we were pleasantly talking to her. Gianni M. got jealous and freaked out on us and said" Hey you are talking to my girlfriend" in an angry manner. We were shocked and insulted by her and Gianni M. is the reason we left angry. Booby is a nice guy and to Bobby I apologize that it didn't work out that we could stay but Gianni M. made us feel like we had hit on her girlfriend. Also Gianni M. i'm not 60 years old and we weren't hitting on your 'girlfriend". I was with my beautiful fiancé and you pissed both of us off. Get Happy Gianni M. !!!
