    Hibachi chicken with mushrooms, soy sauce on top because it was all one color before.
    Elijah G.

    I really wanted to give this more stars because the service was decent and the food was ready very quickly. Unfortunately, the food was not good. The chicken tasted like it was rapidly thawed and it was very dry. The rice had a few peas and I found a kernel of corn but other than that it was just white rice. The restaurant itself is dingy so I don't think I would want to eat inside. I did really appreciate the amount of shrimp sauce they gave me. It did not taste like traditional yum yum sauce but was in a large cup which made up for the lack of flavor. All together it's the only hibachi spot in the area so it will do.

    Kids meal teriyaki chicken!

    Culver's in Belmont gets 5 stars for very important reasons. We have never been to Culver's. We…read morenormally avoid fast food entirely. But, a good friend told us to go there at least once, So we did. We will likely be back again in the future. The #1 great thing was, the first thing we noticed, is a clean dining room. A clean counter. Plenty of light. Super clean place. Secondly, our cashier was a giant man, very young, He kind of greeted us like it was his first day at work and he was proud to be there. That guy knew everything about everything on the menu. He was kind and helpful and should probably get a raise. #3 We just had to sit down and wait for our food. Our table was clean. The floor was clean. The windows were clean. There were families sitting around enjoying a day out. I could see the constant flow of cars picking up their food from the drive-thru. Lots of cars. Evidently, Culver's prepares food to order, so it takes a minute, but it's totally worth it. #4 The food. My wife really enjoyed her Crispy Chicken Sandwich, which was crispy, fresh, and great. She couldn't finish it, so I did. Her fries were fries. Nothing to love or hate there. Her strawberry milkshake was pretty good. I just got a Deluxe Single Burger, and it was about as great as you could have made it in a restaurant. I wish I'd ordered a double, because the hamburger patty was a bit thin, but I expected that. My onion rings were great. "Extra Crispy" according to my cashier's recommendation. #5 Price. We paid $23 and change for possibly the best fast food we've had in years. I thought my burger was a bit thin, but the price was reasonable for what I received. Regardless, it looked great. Fresh tomato and lettuce, nobody smashed it into a hockey puck. It was really nice to see that at a fast food place. If Culver's in Belmont NC keeps doing everything this way, we'll be back on those off days and power outages simply because it's the best burger place we've ever seen. Next time, I'll be trying their fish sandwich, because I was told it's really great. My wife will probably get another Crispy Chicken Sandwich because there's absolutely nothing bad about it. Good Stuff! Thank you, Culver's, for restoring my faith in "fast food".

    We stopped at Culver's for their consistently good custard, this time getting a custard milk shake…read more The service was great, the shake was not so much. If you're here for the custard, don't have them dilute it with milk and add Hershey's syrup. It takes the great flavor and makes it not so great. That said, the service was friendly and fast. The restaurant is clean. It was made properly and all that. It just wasn't the great custard we really love. [Review 676 of 2026 - 4760 in North Carolina - 25857 overall]

WHOEVER WAS MANAGING this crew at this time on this day, Friday, May 29 at 1 PM is doing an amazing job. Everybody was happy, smiling, friendly, courteous, and did a great job taking orders and making the food. I had a great turkey with some white bread. It tasted so good and I included potato chips and a chocolate cookie. But the best thing ever was the strawberry shake that the cashier woman made. I believe her name was ANGEL HEFFNEY !! the care she took him making this milkshake and doing it while as I watched her making it was right on point. And it was the best strawberry milkshake I have ever had. So I wanna give her a shout out. Plus, she was so nice and friendly with everyone as she managed the cashier role at this potbelly. But the whole line and your management were so great. Next time I'm coming through CLT airport. I am definitely coming back here again. Thank you for making a tough day of travel even easier.

The price for a chicken powerhouse, chili and huge sandwich was the same that I paid for three smoothies and a muffin in Orlando, much better saving here. Staff was kind and fun plus very patient when my elderly father wandered away and I didn't know what toppings he wanted in his steak sandwich. The chili was pipping hot and everyone was happy

    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.
