    My medium corn dog smh
    lavonne h.

    One of the most ratchet places I have ever been to with their slow azzes and their rude ppl at the sonic drive thru. One young man came out to see what we ordered and he was a I'm sweetheart I think he may be the manager but whoever the girl is that is taking orders at stall #5 needs customer service presentation because she acts like she got her manners from sears and roebuck! We have literally been sitting here for 25 minutes waiting for our food burning out my good old ugh!!!

    This is the worst Sonic ever!!! Poor service and rude employees!!

    This is the worst sonic ever! Rude employees, poor service! They take forever and to take the order as though they are hoping you will go away. Then they take forever times 2 to make and deliver the order. Terrible.

    I AM DONE WITH THIS LOCATION!!! The manager got in touch with me about my previous review and offered to replace two milkshakes. I went in, unsuccessfully, to do so. That's just the beginning of my problem. I ordered two combos, a footlong coney medium, and a popcorn chicken large. When the order arrived I said to the car hop, "those are small drinks! What size are those?" The carhop said they were small, looked at the receipt, and sees we paid for medium. The car hop offered to replace the drinks. It was a while before she came back. I was about to leave when I see her come back. She says they (I don't know who) "said you paid for smalls. Sorry," and walked away. I asked to speak with a manager and was told one wasn't available. This is such BS for a few reasons: Sonic does not sell "small" combos. My receipt matches the menu prices for medium combos. I was charged an additional $1.00 for a large combo when the menu says $0.90, so in addition, I was overcharged $0.10. Not a big deal, but how many people is this happening to? It adds up over time. I filled in the form online to contact corporate, and unlike last time, I have not heard back from a regional manager.

Everything about it was amazing. Keep in mind, the menu is small and simple, but they have perfected their craft. The lady who took my order was very kind and efficient, and my food was ready in no more than 3 minutes. I went at lunch time during the week. The food is on the more expensive end for sure, so keep that in mind. The food court in which Harriet's Hamburgers lies is a very modern, clean, upbeat area in Charlotte where everyone has a smile on their face is having a good time.

After scanning the menu, I decided on the OG Burger to keep it simple. I did take note that all items are sold separately if you want fries and drinks. The menu doesn't have a massive selection, which can be easier for me at times. Since I ordered the side of fries, I also grabbed the sauce bundle for a fry party! The sauces were ok, but I don't think I'd purchase them again. The burger patties had good flavor and paired nicely with the fresh onions on the burger. The cheese was melted and layered between the patties bringing it all together. To me, the fries weren't as fresh as I would have preferred, but overall did enjoy the burger from here. Seating can be difficult depending on when you visit but we were able to find a table to enjoy our meals together with no issue.

    As a West Coast transplant now living in Charlotte, I have very specific standards when it comes to…read moreburgers. For me, the gold standard isn't fancy -- it's balance. Think that perfect meat-cheese-bread ratio you get at an In-N-Out: not too big, not too messy, not dripping everywhere, but still juicy and satisfying. A burger you can actually pick up and enjoy without resorting to a knife and fork like George Costanza. That's why I appreciate Ace No. 3. Their menu is refreshingly simple -- burgers, fries, shakes -- and that simplicity tells me they know exactly what they do well. Everything is made to order, and the consistency shows. The Ace burger is my go-to, and it delivers every time. The shoestring fries are excellent, and the sweet potato tots are another favorite. I've also treated myself to a milkshake here and there, and they're worth it. Fun bonus: they offer "boozy shakes" for adults, which adds a playful twist -- just note they have to be enjoyed on site. They also keep a short, rotating list of beers, which I appreciate. It's curated, not overwhelming. One thing I noticed recently -- and as a fellow marketer, I have to applaud this -- is their milkshake happy hour from 2-4 PM. That's a smart strategy to drive traffic during slower hours between lunch and dinner. Simple, effective, and well executed. A few practical notes: Parking can be a little tight because the lot behind the restaurant is small, but if you go during off-peak hours or order ahead for pickup, it's manageable. The Belmont neighborhood location is easy to get in and out of, and while it's not a high-traffic pedestrian area, that can actually work in your favor. Bottom line: As someone who grew up with West Coast burger culture, this is the closest I've found in Charlotte to that classic, satisfying bite -- even if it costs a bit more than In-N-Out. The quality and execution make it worth it. Get out there, eat well, be curious -- and follow me as I continue eating my way through Charlotte.
