Some of the reviews weren't so kind, but the burrito was definitely the better option. I was pleasantly surprised by their burrito. At that, we didn't feel like standing and trying to find a place to sit and eat, and besides, Sammy Hagar's and Whiskey River that's all Charlotte offers for sit-down restaurants; everything else is a bar for only drinks or fast food. The place was clean, and the staff was friendly, and i noticed that she waited on over eight tables at once. I'm not sure how she managed to keep up with everything. Top-notch restaurant. read more

Might as well eat lunch at an airport when you have a three hour layover. My chopped green salad was not baby kale as written in the menu but it was still green--half spinach and half romaine lettuce--with way too much balsamic vinaigrette (I forgot to ask for it on the side)--literally a puddle left on the plate. My husband's old-fashioned burger and fries were much more satisfying, according to him, so that's good. My Arnold Palmer was yummy and refreshing, in any case. Our server was attentive and the decor was en pointe and it was more spacious than most airport eateries. read more

Okay let's start with the order .... I ordered the Chicken Avocado with Black Bean sandwich- see photo We also asked for no onions Both came with onions Husband asked for more water. Never came I had to go and look for our waitress I asked if she could get me avocado as none is on the sandwich. She looked at my opened sandwich and said there is some on there - again see photo I said "this 19.00 sandwich says it's a chicken avocado with black bean" if it's advertised as avocado that's what I should see" She said "it's guacamole" I said "there isn't even enough of that" I didn't even bring up the smudge of black beans" Half of the chicken was burnt to a crisp so much so that my husband asked me what I ordered. I couldn't finish it. This place is not great - fun idea Live music but a little loud for such a small space read more

I was traveling through the airport at lunch time and decided to get some tacos at Sammy Hagars place in the terminal. Food was very fast to come out. I ordered the steak tacos in corn tortillas. These dont come with any sides but you get three of them and since it was lunch I was happy with just those. They are not spicy at all but I liked the green sauce to put on top. There was a decent amount of red cabbage included in each fyi. I got a soda but they had a great drink selection of margaritas too. Service was friendly and fast. Overall great stop for a lunch at Charlotte airport term D. read more

We had the blessing of meeting Steven Hall who waited on us; service was great!! The ambiance if you love great Rock N Roll is superb. The food well, let's just say it was amazing. I had the Mango Habanero wings and my wife and I shared the carne asada tacos: both were delicious. I asked that my fries be crispy. . . I love a thin skin on French fry when they are a little crispy these did not disappoint. Please if you're in concourse D at RDU give them a try. read more

Great bartender! He was friendly & provided great service. Had the skirt steak w/ chimichurri and it's the best airport meal I've had in years. Even the fries were hot. Def recommend if your trip takes you through terminal D. read more

Love the blend with the reclotta cheese nice touch and flavor blend well,and wouldn't surprise me if house made. The menu on the wall written in chalk. Staff is personable, wife and I love a great calizone the price is very reasonable. read more

One of the best airport food meals I've had in a while. Vanessa was the most genuinely happy, upbeat server. She came by promptly and gave wonderful service. The food came quickly, the meat was cooked to temperature perfectly (medium rare, as requested). The fries were perfectly seasoned and delicious. Well worth it. Where else can you enjoy Metallica in the airport and have good food and great service? read more

Prices were comparable to typical restaurant prices even though it's in the airport terminal. Well I had to revise a bit. The beers on tap were $11.99 ea. a bit more than I usually pay. It's been a rough week. I needed a good beer. We had a 4 hour layover. Was looking for a place to hang. Was told by another restaurant we would be kicked out after 45 minutes. Then we found Sammy's. The food was very good, not great. The marinaded grilled chicken sandwich with avocado is good. I'd suggest they slice the chicken breast. It was a bit thick and hard to bite without it falling out of the sandwich. Husband said the cheeseburger (substituted cheddar) was "very good". I ate all the fries but they weren't great. We were surprised by the live music which I love. The singer was very good. The waiter was quick and on it. He checked on us and asked if we wanted more beer. (Of course, 3 more hours to wait?) Atmosphere is Sammy Hagar with a beachy feel and sports on the TVs. Can't complain for an airport restaurant. They offered beers in tap, bottles and cans. We prefer tap--had Sierra NV Hazy Little Thing and Wicked Weed Pernicious IPA. I liked them both. Overall, a very welcoming place. I'd come again especially with the live music on a 4 hour layover. read more

Ordered a medium burger, got a hockey puck. Fries were cold and all the small pointed hard end cuts. Not very busy either. Not like they were slammed and slinging it out to keep up. read more

Ceasars salad was delicious! Service was great! Wanted mojito but was told no mint. So went with recommendation. Great choice. read more

Cute vibe but the service and food was sucky... ordered corn tortilla tacos and the server kept asking what type... Then I asked for the avocado salsa and they brought a spicy salsa verde... there was no avocado in it. Then the corn tortillas were so stale I had to send them back. Should've just gotten the bowl. Ended up spending $32 for shitty tacos. Worst lunch ever read more

Decorations are really cute. Really nice big bar and lots of seating. I was served quickly. Food was good. I tried the chicken avocado torta sandwich. I would come back! read more

I have a three hour layover at the Charlotte airport and I find Sammy Hagar's Beach Bar And Grill. I order straight off the menu a signature cocktail called the Cabo Wabo. Margarita I asked the waitress if I can sub out a different tequila she says yes there are no prices on the menu. I order a "mex bowl"add chicken. It was satisfactory maybe six out of 10. The drink was excellent, however they served it to me and a plastic cup. When I received the bill I looked down to see that my plastic Dixie cup cost $25. I didn't order a double I didn't order anything special except sub the tequila for an equal quality cost. When I question the server about the plastic cup and $25 for what is $12 in the rest of the country, she says I'm sorry but that's the airport pricing. ( that's insanity.) I would've never ordered a $25 margarita served in a Dixie cup. This is embarrassing for Sammy, now I will leave here and go find a higher quality bar if I'm gonna pay $25 where I can get my drink in a real glass And know what I'm spending before it surprises me at the end. See photo of no pricing read more

The service was wonderful! I ordered the pollo asado tacos, and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious they were, especially considering they were airport tacos. Will be back! read more

Had the Chicken Asado. A sad chicken breast burnt on the bottom and dry, sitting in a pool of oily ick. Fries were warm or cold depending on the fry. Beans were a salt bomb. Should have gone to Potbelly for lunch, or anywhere else where they make the food in front of you. Ugh. Never eating here again. Maybe a beer though. Music was good. read more

Server was very nice but the food was so sad. My "grilled" chicken breast had no doubt been grilled months ago, frozen and reheated to lukewarm want before going on the nasty sub roll with some rank black bean and avocado purée. The fries had been refried at least twice. A definite skip. read more

Really cool place I was looking forward to eating here as I travel out of CLT weekly. Quite possibly the worst food I have ever had.

This airport bar's wings were surprisingly good. The only downside was that they only had a bbq mango-habanero salsa. It tasted great and I was glad to have tried it but I went in wanting traditional buffalo. On the upside, they had Wicked Weed Pernicious on tap, which paired perfectly. The fries were just okay, and my partner's burger hit the spot. Vanessa, our waitress, was fast, friendly, and made a great impression. I'd definitely stop by again if I'm ever waiting here. Docked one star only because the fries weren't the best. read more

Had a quick layover (less than an hour) stopped in for a bite to eat. Was seated right away (not busy post 0940). Server came by a few short minutes and I placed my drink order. Upon returning I ordered the wet Al Pastor burrito and it arrived about 10 minutes later. The burrito was really good, lots of pork some pineapple and the right serving of rice! Nice place to sit and chill before going out to the zoo of people. read more

This was my first time in Charlotte since May 2024. I lost both my parents in Charlotte in 2023. I only came back in 2024 for my nieces graduation. Before I lost my parents, I would go between New York and Charlotte at least once a month. One of my favorite things to do was stop at the Rum Bar in CLT airport before boarding my flight back to New York. Needless to say that this trip was not easy because all I thought about the whole trip was my parents and how much I missed them. When I got to the airport to return home, I noticed the Rum Bar was replaced by Sammy Hagars Beach Bar and Grill. I could only hope that the experience would be what I was used to. Turns out it was better. The bartender Hailey was very nice and very attentive as we talked about the Rum Bar and she took my order. I am a wing guy and habernero mango wings were excellent and the fries complimented them perfectly. The margarita was absolutely great. This was a nice ending for a pretty difficult trip thanks to Hailey and the great food and drinks. I look forward to my next trip to Charlotte. I will definitely return to Sammy Hagars!!! read more

Great surprise at CLT. WOULD definitely recommend. Good music. Nice atmosphere. Good food

My husband and I had a few hours to kill between flights and stumbled upon Sammy Hagars on Concourse D in the airport. Food was excellent! We had the carne asada plate and the tacos which were amazing! Our waitress Maricel, was fantastic. She checked in frequently and made sure our drinks were full. Highly recommend this restaurant, great value for an airport! read more

I really wanted to enjoy my visit here, but the service left a lot to be desired. When I sat down, I tried using the QR code at the table to place my order, but it kept giving me an error. I flagged down the main server (who seemed to be the only one really working), and she kindly said she'd let my server, Mel, know. I waited... and waited... but Mel never showed, even though I saw Mel sluggishly making her way between tables. Eventually, the same hardworking server came back to check on me (probably sensing I was ready to walk out), and actually had to yell across the restaurant to get Mel's attention. Mel responded with, "That's your table," in the most unbothered tone and then slouched off back to the kitchen, where she seemed to spend most of her time hiding. It was honestly disappointing to witness. Thankfully, the first server--Rosie--took it upon herself to help me, apologized for the situation, and even rushed my order. She was excellent. Meanwhile, I watched Mel dismiss other guests who were clearly looking for help, which was frustrating and unfair to her coworkers. I'm giving 4 stars only because of Rosie. Servers like her go above and beyond, and it's a shame that others on the floor aren't carrying their weight. She deserves the recognition. read more
