A local, lunchtime gem at Camp North End!…read more We came during a peak time on a Sunday, but the line to order moved quickly, and we were able to snag a table inside (in the A/C) to wait. There's also a restroom inside for customers. If the inside seating is full, there are also tables out front (and elsewhere around CNE) to enjoy your grub. We ordered the Honey Butta fried chicken sandwich and the Tyson's Corner burger, along with some seasoned fries with smack sauce. Everything was fire.

Kitchen should work on timing the food to come out at the same time so everything is hot and fresh.

While it looks quiet from the outside, inside you will find a lot of hustle and bustle as hungry patrons line up to get their breakfast sandwiches, or their lunch depending on the time of day! The place is part neighborhood market, selling beer and wine along with snacks, and part deli serving made to order sandwiches, and salads, along with prepackaged sides and fixings like chicken or egg salad. I finally got a chance to come in around lunch time and was very exciting to dive into my turkey sandwich which came with bacon pepper Jack and a chipotle spread. It was delicious, just a perfect sandwich for lunch. Nothing fancy or over the top, and it was priced very reasonably which is hard to find these days. This place is a gem.

Pre-renovation, they were hosting monthly wine tastings which I attended monthly! While these have not been brought back yet, my fingers are tightly crossed these go back on the calendar soon!

My order accidentally had chorizo in it and they immediately took it back, apologized and made a fresh vegetarian one. It's always great to see the nice gentleman at the front who takes orders, he's so friendly! The ambiance is the only thing that could take this spot to the next level! Currently on bad weather days the inside seating is limited and feels cramped with large parties. For the most part, sitting outside is the way to go on the picnic tables! There is a classic cozy feel to the smaller space!

So if you see a small…read moretake away spot in a strip mall that looks a bit dilapidated do not judge a book by its cover. Graham Street Grill is a perfect example. Located along N Tryon St a little bit past the popular Camp Northend development you'll find this gem. When I moved to the NoDa neighborhood from Southend, I found myself missing the fried chicken you could get at the Shell gas station. Luckily I did some online research and came across some great reviews for this spot! It's take out only with just a small waiting room and an order counter but it's well worth any wait, the fried chicken comes out so fresh! They are inexpensive with great food which is something that is becoming increasingly hard to find. My last order I was able to get two jumbo wings along with a roll and French fries for under $10.00. They have a lot more than just fried chicken though. Burgers, hotdogs, fish sandwiches, and even subs and gyros. Not to mention they offer some home style breakfast that is hard to beat. Don't be out off by the location or the outside appearance, this place is fantastic.

I was extremely disappointed with my lunch from Graham St. Grill. Unfortunately, out of three meals…read moreordered, only one was correct. The chicken livers looked like they had been fried in very old grease--they were so dark they were almost black--and the hash brown side that was supposed to come with the meal was completely missing. The shrimp plate never arrived at all. Instead, I received what appeared to be chicken tenders, but they looked practically boiled because there wasn't a single sign of browning or grilling on them. Even the sides were incorrect. The fried okra was right, but I received French fries instead of the slaw I ordered. The only meal that was actually correct was the perch plate. One correct meal out of three is simply unacceptable, especially when the food that did arrive was so unappetizing. Overall, this was a TERRIBLE lunch experience. I'm extremely disappointed, and unfortunately, I will not be ordering food from Graham St. Grill again.

No trip to Charlotte is complete without a stop at one of our favorite spots--Brooks' Sandwich…read moreHouse. There's a reason this place is a true Charlotte institution. I crave their chili dogs--fully loaded, of course. That famous chili recipe? Absolutely unmatched. Don't sleep on the crispy potato wedges either--they're the perfect sidekick. And if hot dogs aren't your thing, no worries--they also make a killer chili cheeseburger, or you can try their fried bologna or fish sandwich. It's a no-frills kind of place, and that's part of the charm. Grab your lunch and eat at the shaded stand-up area outside, or post up in your car for the full experience. Heads up--it's cash only, but don't worry, there's an ATM on-site if you need it. Everyone is always so nice and helpful as well! Simple, iconic, and always worth the stop.

As a San Francisco Bay Area foodie who's been steadily eating my way through Charlotte, I had…read morebookmarked Lee's Sandwiches and was excited to finally give it a try--and overall, it did not disappoint. The concept is refreshingly simple: a straightforward menu of banh mi sandwiches, summer rolls, chips, and prepared foods ready to go. They also offer beer on tap, traditional Vietnamese iced coffee and tea, and fresh fruit smoothies. No frills--just solid, approachable Vietnamese fare. I ordered the #8 Chinese barbecue (char siu) banh mi and requested light pâté and extra vegetables. The sandwich was made to order and came out quickly. One of the owners kindly let me know that pâté typically isn't included on that particular sandwich and didn't charge me for it, which I appreciated. The sandwich itself was good, reasonably priced (around $8-9), and filling. I also ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee, which delivered exactly the caffeine kick I was looking for. It wasn't overly sweet, had beautifully crushed ice, and came with a proper lid--not the plastic film seal you sometimes see at boba shops. Combined, the sandwich and coffee came to about $15, which felt like a great value. The interior is charming and thoughtfully designed. There's a small tuk-tuk display with retail items, traditional Vietnamese decor like bamboo hats on the walls, and even a seating area with low stools that gives a nod to the street-side dining style you'd find in Vietnam. I also loved the creative touch of repurposed Café Du Monde coffee cans holding napkins and chopsticks--simple, clever, and memorable. One small note for authenticity seekers: as someone who grew up with traditional Vietnamese cuisine, I've been searching for the classic old-school imperial rolls made with rice paper that fries up bubbly, crispy, and slightly chewy. The owner confirmed what I've been noticing--that many restaurants in the Charlotte area adapt recipes to American tastes, so that particular style is harder to find here. It wasn't a dealbreaker, just an interesting cultural observation. For my personal taste, the char siu wasn't quite as rich or fatty as the Chinese barbecue versions I'm used to, and the pâté had a slightly bitter note. Next time, I'll likely try the lemongrass pork banh mi and skip the pâté altogether. Insider tip: This is a great spot for a quick, affordable lunch with authentic flavors and fast service. The iced coffee alone is worth the visit. Overall, a cute, well-run neighborhood shop with solid value, friendly service, and a menu that does a few things well. I'll definitely be back to continue exploring the offerings.

I've had many yucca fries and these are the best. They're crispy and the sauce it comes with is perfection. I prefer the bowls over the sandwiches to minimize carbs. You can't go wrong with any of them. Key lime pie: I'm ordering this again. This Keylime pie beats any Keylime pie in the Key West. I like that the custard has some lime shavings for texture. I also appreciate that they use meringue instead of whipped cream. The dessert is perfectly tangy. Chocolate cake: it's a really good chocolate cake. It's such a simple dessert yet not everyone gets it right. I personally prefer the Keylime pie, but for the chocolate lovers, this might be the best chocolate cake. Santiago cake: a high protein cake with almond and eggs. I actually make this at home often but I wanted to compare mine with the restaurants. The texture was good, but it had a refrigerator taste to it which I didn't like.
