    The service was quick and to the point. The food tasted as it should. However, the cost was exorbitant for a burger. I am a small person and I could have eaten two of these burgers for the $14 bill.

    Overpriced by delicious. I met a friend here for lunch. I ordered the Cobra Kai burger (everything is served a la carte). It was 12 dollars for a burger about the size of a McDonald's cheeseburger. It was absolutely delicious, but I couldn't quite wrap my head around the cost for such a small burger. I absolutely loved the decor and the vibes of the restaurant. It's a really eclectic place. The service was speedy, but the kitchen was kinda slow. If the prices matched the portion size and everything wasn't individually priced, it would be a 5 star.

    We shared the loaded fries and some wings as apps and they were great. The cowboy burger was yummy as well. Great service.

    I think I am late to the party, but what a fun little dive bar tucked in NODA. There was plenty of parking near by and we decided to get burgers & fries. The fry basket is plenty to share between two people & the burger literally melted in my mouth - soooo good!! We also got the bbq nuggets, I was also very impressed by these. We will be back to try some other things on the menu, overall a great experience!!!

    Good god these burgers were delicious. Cannot recommend highly enough. I had a Cowboy with cheddar jack and their loaded fires. Got a spicy margarita which was also good. Service was quick and friendly. It is definitely your dive bar atmosphere, but love seeing all the stickers and messages throughout the restaurant. Will definitely be back for the burgers.

    The burger option drew us in to this burger and bar spot in NoDa. It's right next to the Firehouse and 4 firefighters were enjoying lunch at the next table. They have about 10 beers on tap, lots of cans, and liquor at the bar. They have plain burgers, 8 specialty burgers, and daily specials. I really enjoyed the heat from the Kobra Kai burger. We also got a basket of fries and I took the staff's suggestion of dipping them in their delicious sauce of mayo, garlic, and onion - great suggestion! This is a a great spot for a quick and casual burger and beer in NoDa.

    We always have the BEST time here! Service by Erik is more than just a server, it's an experience. If you're local or new to town, this the place to be!!

    Billy Jack's is one of those NoDa spots that just hits. It's a bar atmosphere, so great if you're just trying to chill, drink & eat good food while hanging out with your friends. If you're looking for a quiet spot to have great conversation with a friend, this isn't the place for you hahaha. It's pretty loud, but I love that kind of environment! The food is also pretty solid! I've had a few things on the menu, but what stands out to me is the waffles with sticky nuggs. A solid combo that will fill you up. Only reason I deducted a star is because it is kind of late night, bar food, not necessarily top notch cuisine. But stop by late at night when you got the munchies and you won't be disappointed in the service or the food!

    Good food and nice bar. Lots of beer and tasty burgers. There is a daily special each day. I'll have to find a way to get there midweek to try some of the other specials.

    Cheeseburger and Sweet Fries
    Alisha R.

    The burger and fries were soooo good! This was my first time stopping in for a quick beer and I decided to grab some food as well. It was a Saturday night, there was a cute little crowd, nothing too crazy. The bartender was so friendly and super fun. We chatted for the time I was there since I sat at the bar. The music was good too. The burger was super juicy and flavorful and the sweet potato fries and special sauce omgggg! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I'll definitely be back!

    Patio bar

    Stoped into BillJack's Shack for a snack last weekend, and enjoyed some delicious and wildly messy nachos...after all, are nachos and good if they're not messy? They load up a plate of their hose made potato chips with BBQ pork, mac and cheese, white Alabama sauce, onions and bacon! So many delicious flavor all culminating into one. The interior was packed full, but they had some open seating on their covered patio. Fun, eclectic atmosphere. Waitstaff was friendly and quick. Nachos were great, I'd definitely try other items if I'm ever in the area again!

    This is a really nice quick and easy spot to grab a bite and drink! I love coming here for the brunch and chicken bites. They're so good and the service is pretty cool too. I do love all the photos on the wall. It makes it look homey in here. I tried the firecracker chicken and waffles it was delicious! Highly recommend this spot!

    Sliders & fries
    Jennifer E.

    Very quirky establishment in Noda. Right in front of Bargaritta Bar. Walked in, and we were able to seat ourselves right away. Waitress took our order quickly and efficiently. Towards the end, though, she did get flooded, so it took her a while to bring us our check. Overall, it was a great vibe, different types of people, and I love the quirkiness of this place. My friend ordered two sliders and fries, and they were delicious. Just the right amount of food to not get you overlly full. The fries were awesome. Just the right amount of crisp to them and the sauce was delicious. Reminded me of Yum Yum sauce. Overall, great place. Will definitely be returning.

    Thai peanut sticky nugs.   DELISH!!

They had the option of blankets, a heater, any pretty much anything else you needed to make sure that you were comfortable. It's kind of small on the inside but the ambiance overtakes you.

The smells in there will have you in a trance. The Wagyu Brunch Burger was phenomenal. I could taste that the sear and it was absolutely mouth watering. No other breakfast burger I've had is touching it. I could have eaten an entire plate of the fingerling potato hash. Some of the best breakfast potatoes I've ever had. I'm having flashbacks of the cheese grits that put me in a near food comatose. Our server was extremely generous and helpful. If I was a local I would be a regular. Absolutely no notes.

She was extremely sweet, attentive, and super knowledgeable about the menu and gave us some really great recommendations. For drinks I ordered a NA rose. It had a bit of a dryer taste than I would have preferred as I'm more of a sweet drinker, but not bad. My friend ordered the Blackberry Sage and Soda and really enjoyed it. For an appetizer, we ordered the burrata. If you enjoy tomatoes, pesto, cheese, and bread, just get it, you won't regret it! It was very flavorful! We almost considered ordering a second helping! For the entree, I ordered the Atlantic Salmon with a side of broccolini. It was the best broccolini I think I've ever had! It was seasoned very well and had a smokey taste from the charring. My friend ordered the Creste Di Gato and really enjoyed it and the broccolini as well! For dessert, I ordered the sticky toffee cake and it was MAGNIFICENT! It was brought out warm and the flavor combinations were just so good! Right now, I'm planning to make room for it every time I come back and I most definitely will come back lol. 10/10 experience! Would recommend!

There was street parking available, a few paid lots nearby, a larger lot across the street, and a parking garage attached to the shopping center. The garage was around $15, but if you're lucky enough to grab a street spot, you can park for up to two hours. No complaints there. The restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous. The live greenery on the walls gives the whole space such a fresh, upscale vibe without feeling stuffy. We were seated in a cozy little nook on the main dining floor, which was perfect for our group. Now let's talk about the food because... wow. We ordered a little bit of everything. There were shrimp dishes, chicken, steak frites, champagne, cocktails, and my frosé was delicious. The absolute star of the night was the caviar fried chicken. Listen... order it. Don't ask questions. Just order it. It was hands down my favorite thing on the table. The only small miss was my steak frites. I ordered it medium, but it came out closer to medium well. It was still good, just not exactly how I wanted it. Our service was excellent from start to finish. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Overall, this was such a fun dinner. Great food, beautiful atmosphere, easy parking, and excellent service. I will definitely be back, and you already know I'll be ordering that caviar fried chicken again.

Set in a charming old home, the aesthetic is incredibly welcoming with a quaint downstairs bar, a gorgeous outdoor patio, and cozy seating upstairs--there truly isn't a bad seat in the house. The staff and service are always exceptional, which only adds to the amazing experience. They offer daily specials alongside a rotating and standing menu, making every visit unique. There are so many standout dishes that it can be hard to choose, but my ultimate go-to is the seared ahi tuna salad. I don't know how they make that sesame and shoyu dressing, but it is one of a kind!

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 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.
