So I went inside to order. The server was friendly and I had my food in a couple minutes. My go-to meal is usually a chicken sandwich with waffle fries. They were fresh, hot and tasty. I love all the available sauces and often combine a couple different ones to personalize my sandwich or use them as dipping sauces for the fries.

Hancock is a fun spot to get some fried chicken and enjoy their outdoor space. Nate and I love to…read moreget a "drink and a snack" to share, and Hancock has a perfect option for this during their happy hour: two sliders and a boozy slushie for $12 (or a n/a slushie combo is $9). They also had $1 chicken tenders during happy hour, so I ordered six - they were a bit smaller than I was expecting but at $1 each it's a great deal. The tenders were cooked well - crispy on the outside and juicy inside. I'd rank Hancock's chicken tenders in my top 5 in GR. Other food options include sandwiches, wraps, a burger, bone in chicken, sides like pimento mac and cheese, and their jalapeno cheddar cornbread. They also have a vegan option (seitan patty). I love the hot spice level, which isn't super spicy. Their boozy slushies are refreshing and tasty, and they usually have one or two rotating flavors. The patio has some yard games and space for groups. There's metered street parking available.

This is my favorite fried chicken place in the area, hands down. It's always perfectly crispy with…read morejuicy chicken meat and each bite is perfection. We ordered the hottest chicken sandwich, which in my opinion had great flavor but I wouldn't say it's overwhelmingly hot. The jalapeño corn bread is deliciously sweet and moist. Pair it with their butter, that's chef's kiss. We also had an order of the chicken and waffles. Honestly, I think the waffles might be my favorite thing on the menu. It has this caramelized top layer that provides a satisfying crunch with each bite and it's as dense as a piece of cake. Highly recommend. It's a cute little restaurant with a darling outside, perfect place for lunch or a summer night. The service is always top notch.

There are plenty of toppings to choose from and everything tastes super fresh. It's like Qdoba/Chipotle style where you pick what sauces and toppings you want then they whip it all together for you. First bite was a flavor explosion and continued throughout both the dishes. Yum yum sauce was on point. Service was quick and friendly. It is a bit pricey but the fiancé treated dinner on this night ;) A friend suggested their nachos which we will have to try next time. The space is shared with Gita Pita so there is a dining area that is in between both restaurants. If you felt like trying two places at once you knock that out by grabbing something from Gita Pita while you wait for your food from Char. Definitely will be back again and I'm glad to finally cross Char off my list!

The restaurant it self was clean and what you would expect for the style of restaurant.

The appetizers like the egg rolls and crab Rangoon seemed a tad expensive for what we got but did taste good.

Fast casual before it was a concept. Check out the menu (they also serve breakfast!), grab a tray, order your food, grab a pie or dessert, order your drinks, pay, grab a table or booth, wait for your order to be called over the speaker, bring your food back to the table, and enjoy! When finished, leave everything at the table and they take care of it. Family really liked their hamburger and mushrooms and Swiss burger. Can come with lettuce, tomato, and/or chopped onion. Make it a meal with a side and a drink. I enjoyed the grilled chicken sandwich and it was cooked great, tender, and flavorful with mayo and ketchup. I would have normally ordered it with lettuce and tomato but have been avoiding fresh veg everywhere. I would definitely order this again. The onion rings were great and the fries were refract to eat with our burgers and sandwiches. You can grab a ketchup bottle from the counter and have to ask for mustard. They carry Pepsi products, orange Crush and Dr. Pepper as fountain soda. They also have iced tea and use pellet sized ice. Pies - I was excited to see another review about the pies and had such a hard time decided between them all. Decided on the cherry pie and strawberry pie. The cherry pie was fine. I didn't like the strawberry pie because I could taste whatever powder they used and couldn't get over it.
