It's always fun to try new things, and I was excited to stumble across The Eagle when looking for a place to start a night on the town. Parking in Charlotte is classically bad, especially for those from out of town who don't know the secrets. I was very happy to find ample covered parking available directly attached to this restaurant. We arrived around 5:30pm and it was nearly empty, so we had our choice of seating. There are bar, booth, table, and outdoor options, and we opted for a booth. They were spacious and comfortable. Drink and appetizer orders were taken quickly - My party had a Blackberry Lemonade, a Peach Jalapeño Margarita, and a draft beer. All were good and no complaints there. Our appetizer was the spicy chicken dip, which is served with tortilla chips. It was a large portion and very tasty, definitely recommend! From there, service started getting notably slow, and there was a long wait before we saw anyone again to place entrée orders or refills on drinks. The server was friendly, but seemed pre-occupied and kept going back to a laptop at the bar. I suspect some personal matter had him distracted (and it happens to all of us!) but I wish he would have been able to step away to a private space and had someone else cover for him for a bit. For entrees, we got: - The southern chopped salad (good flavor, but very heavy on the dressing and I would ask for that on the side next time. Also, go with the half portion - The server encouraged the full portion and it was HUGE.) - The Fried Chicken Sandwich (a very filling portion and good flavors, albeit a bit messy. I asked for added jalapeños which never came.) - The Carolina Braised Pork Sandwich (again, a huge portion and good flavor, although the meat was very juicy and it was messy to eat. We also asked for jalapeños here and never saw them.) - Sides were Mac & Cheese (delicious!) and collard greens (Decent, but they could have used some vinegar and we were told there was none available.) Overall, the quality and portions of food are very good. I appreciate a place in a large city that has available parking. The menu is not very big, but there is enough to satisfy all tastes. Service has room for improvement, but was overall decent. I could certainly see coming back for another try in the future. read more

Service was good at beginning but after getting food it stopped. Ran out of water and 2 patrons left while waiting to be greeted. Fried chicken BLT was very good, spoonbread was ok. read more

Visited on a Wednesday evening around 8 pm. Not busy at all so upon arrival we were able to be sat immediately. We opted for seating at the bar. The bartender was super friendly, and efficient and gave great recommendations. Ordered their fries, and sweet potato dish with a half chicken kale salad. The salad was a winner!!!!! It was very tasty, the cornbread croutons blended very well with the salad and even though they did add the dressing already mixed in, it was not overpowering. Overall great experience and had great food. They do have side street parking or a parking garage behind the building which is easily accessible. read more

Yelp really does need to add the 1/2 Star! This was a great stop after a long work day followed by a little wandering around in a very trendy (do people still use that word) part of town! There are so many choices in the area, literally dozens of them...some of them a little off as what I am looking for (I know you have a really cool spot, great urban design...but I don't want to have to go get all my own food to pay you to sit around and enjoy it, that's a grocery store, not a bar). Stopped in and sat at the bar. I am not a meat eater anymore even though I deeply love and respect southern cooking and the use of Pork and chicken. I opted for an order of Hush Puppies, a southern salad and some cheesy grits! All great choices! The service at the bar and over all was very good! Had a cocktail and out came the food! The Hush Puppies were perfect, cheddar and jalapeño..with a very nice southern dipping sauce! The salad was very fresh with a great light sauce! Very much above average for just a salad...I said I loved meat! The cheesy grits were the bomb...had some nice spice mixed into them and I am guessing like some pimento cheese in there too... I would definitely come back. I would eat meat here if I was in the mood and decided it was that sort of day! If you take this much care with the basics, you know the mains are going to be taken seriously. Side, related note...if you go to a BBQ place and the sides suck, you know they don't care about food, they just like smoking meats...that part is easy! KT read more

Frankie was an amazing server! He gave us descriptions and answered all questions. He was prompt with bringing beverages and brought water with him as we were seated. THAT is a great idea!! The place was not busy on a Sunday afternoon around 3:30pm, which was great for us because we were hungry. I love how they have large booths that face the bar where you can see multiple televisions above the bar. The open-air space is wonderful as well. If we hadn't been outside all day, it would have been our choice; but we needed the cooler area. The collards were not as tender as they should be (for someone who cooks them); another 30min in the pot would have done wonders. I don't feel their chicken is 'fried' the ordinary way, but maybe pressure fried (think of the original bucket place). It's flavorful & juicy, but NOT crispy. We did have one issue, but Frankie promptly got it corrected. The hot honey that accompanies the chicken is perfect, if you like that. It gives off the sweetness without too much heat like some others. The spoon bread was outstanding! Needed nothing but the spoon that came with it. The herb dusted skinny fries..YUMMMM! And dipped in either the garlic aioli or the ranch..I couldn't make up my mind which I liked more! We'd return, if we were in the area & in the mood for chicken. read more

I sometimes come to Charlotte to meet with my clients and found the Eagle last spring. The food is very good. -Fried chicken. What they are known for. Really good. -Spoon bread. Amazing. I got an extra order to bring back home to Los Angeles for my kids. -Burnt ends- very good. -Shrimp and grits- very good. -collared greens- very good. One area they could work on is table service. Our table was a booth behind the bar where we were told the bartender would be our server- except the bar tender seemed busy and didnt stop by often. Maybe they had a server out sick that night? read more

We had a nice experience at The Eagle in Charlotte. The atmosphere was just okay, but what really stood out was the friendly and attentive service--our server was great, and everything arrived incredibly fast. We started with the spicy chicken dip and chips, which had great flavor but was a little too spicy for my taste. The hush puppies were a solid appetizer as well. For my entrée, I had the quarter white meat chicken, which was decent but nothing extraordinary. However, the sweet potato crock was hands-down the highlight of my meal--absolutely delicious! My only real complaint was the music. While I don't mind rock music, it was overly loud, making it hard to enjoy conversation. If they toned it down a bit, the dining experience would be much more enjoyable. Overall, great service and solid food with a couple of standout dishes. I'd definitely return--hopefully to a slightly quieter playlist! read more

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place yet. The Eagle is a staple in my household. Craving good southern food? The Eagle. Hankering for fried chicken? The Eagle delivers. I've tried a variety of dishes from their menu and have always enjoyed them. There's not much to dislike here. Expect flavorful dishes at reasonable prices. Our go-to order is usually the chicken, paired with an assortment of sides. Recently, I tried their mashed potatoes, and they instantly became my favorite side dish. Give it a try! You won't be disappointed. read more

Fried chicken with hot honey sauce, collard greens with ham hocks, sweet potato casserole and a drinky drink to wash it all down. I have always loved their chicken. Marinated to perfection. Even the breast is as moist as the leg, and coated in a hot honey sauce (optional).....omg. Heavy on the vinegar and onions but it all balances out. Some of the best greens in Charlotte. The sweet potato casserole was okay. It seemed like it was missing a touch of something. The blackberry lemonade was a thirst quencher on a hot day. #GratuityAdded #cltdates #charlottelifestyle #brinedchicken #TheEagleClt #friedchickenday #foodstagram #instafood #southerneats #foodtraveller #drankas #foodtour #drinkydrink #Denzel #foodies #travelfood #LoSo # charlottesgotalot #foodlovers #OfflineCLT #parisolympics #travelblogger #cltBloggers #OfflineCharlotte #foodtrip #lovefood #clttravels #SouthendClt #foodiesofclt #eatdrinkclt read more

We stopped here for dinner on our way to the Charlotte airport. I'm glad we chose this place. Frankie waited on our table and was very nice. We ordered the hush puppies, pickled green beans, drumsticks, grilled cheese w/fries, grits and mashed potatoes. Yes, we ordered a lot bc everything sounded so good! We also each had one beer. The food arrived quickly and was hot. Everything we had was excellent. It was a nice stop before heading home and we'd definitely go back. The price was right too. read more

I have been longing to return here after a fab Yelp party last year. (Plenty of my friends have gone, but not us.) I took my husband here for our anniversary lunch and did not regret a thing. The young lady who waited on us was very pleasant and helpful. We skipped the cocktails, but had delicious draft beers instead. For an appetizer, we had the spicy chicken dip. We could not stop eating it. It paired great with the beers. We both had the fried chicken (he had white, I had dark). My husband swears the collard greens here are the best ever. He was a bit disappointed in the horseradish mashed potatoes, but I enjoyed them. The macaroni & cheese is absolutely divine. Literally could eat that every day and not regret a thing. The fried chicken was the star though. Completely cooked through but incredibly juicy. The skin was crisp and flavorful. My husband tried the hot honey (served on the side) but, like me, preferred the chicken without. We will continue to tell our friends about The Eagle and their awesome food. Looking forward to returning! read more

I really enjoyed my visit. They have a nice space with booths that fit up to 6 comfortably. They have space for more private parties. They also offer outside seating. They have a great beer and whisky list. The cocktail and wine lists were small but includes really good options. I went with the Bourbon Punch and absolutely yes! It was a great size, I could actually taste the bourbon, and it was simply delicious. As for the food, we started with the Hushpupies. They were fresh and hot. We smashed those in a heartbeat. I recommend skipping the Mac n cheese. They weren't bad, just nothing special and came out Luke warm. The drum sticks were really good and the spicy honey drizzle adds the perfect kick. I would absolutely get those again. The collards were pretty tasty, too. Overall, everything was really good and I would visit again. read more

This was my first time taking my son to visit The Eagle Food & Beer Hall in Charlotte, NC. **Parking:** The parking is located at the back of the establishment. We went in the evening when most of the stores that share the lot were closed, so there was plenty of parking available. **Inside:** If you enter through the back, you and your guest will need to walk through the restaurant to the front for the hostess. The hostess last Saturday was really friendly, making for a great introduction to the restaurant. The staff was excellent at refilling our drinks and explaining the menu to us. Keep in mind that everything is served separately and meant to be shared. The restaurant is large, so the noise level was balanced. However, I can imagine it getting loud. One downside is that if you are seated around the bar area, you cannot see the TV unless you are 5'2" or shorter, which detracts from the experience. This was not well thought out when the area was designed. The food was hot when served. The spoonbread was the highlight of the meal--I could eat it by itself, it was so good. Overall, the experience was pleasant, and I will definitely return on a future visit. read more

I have been to The Eagle multiple times. This time I was there as part of a party of 14 people for my best friend's birthday. We all came in prepared to order whatever we wanted when someone mentioned the Family Style option where it's $24/person and you get fried chicken and multiple sides served shareable/family style. We all decided that the food sounded good and like an easy painless option, and boy was that the truth! Every dish was so good - I may miss something but we had at minimum fried chicken served with a hot honey (amazing!), Mac and cheese, hush puppies, collards, kale salad, corn bread and buffalo chicken dip. All of our drinks were great too, and service was on point, especially for a large party. Can't wait to go back for this type of meal again! read more

We went here last week for our Friday out. Good beer selection, and my wife had a chalice of beautiful whisky drink. We typically go for an early dinner (4pm) and service can sometimes lack, but here, it was great, and they sat us outside as requested. Very accommodating to a wheelchair, very much appreciated. I at 5 drumstick dinner, excellent fried chicken, fried dark, but very soft, so good. Wife had half a chicken sandwich and I had the better half the next day for lunch, excellent. Great vibe on South Blvd. Pleasantly quiet outside. We'll be back. read more

I am in no way sponsored haha just happy with this place 2 out of 2 times. Quick service, full bar, seating indoors and outdoors in a bustling area. Free parking too in an area where it's hard to find! read more

come to love the Eagle Food and Beer. Each time I visit the food is consistently good and the service is great. My favorite items have to be the Mac and Cheese and the Chicken BLT. That sandwich is loaded!! The combination of all the topping is awesome and makes a delicious flavor bomb. The bread is so buttery and toasted to perfection. I also recommend the fried chicken (my mom's favorite), spoon bread, Hot Chicken dip (spicy but the taste is so rewarding) and the Southern Chopped Salad. You really can't go wrong with anything you choose. The Eagle Food and Beer Hall 2120 S Blvd Ste 1 Charlotte, NC 28203 (Review 33 in 2023 and 773 overall) read more

Place is solid! First time having pork tips and I enjoyed them. Both sandwiches were great. I would definitely come back for the chicken sandwich. And they have $5 shot of the day!

Met family for a late lunch. Ventured in based off the good reviews and was happy about the recent hours change to open at 11am vs 4 pm. The sports bar description is a bit hit or miss. We sat in one of the large booths across from the bar. From those seats the TVs are obstructed by a huge wooden beam on both sides. The vibe was laid back, not much enthusiasm behind the greeting or menu overview for new patrons. We started with a few beers on draft and hush puppy appetizer. The hush puppies were just okay and definitely were helped by the dipping sauce but would be better served with a hot honey butter spread. The menu flow compliments a family a la cart style. We ordered the Whole Chicken(TENDER AND JUICY BUT WEIRD SEASONING USED) with hot honey glaze sauce. Seems like there's an Old Bay flavor in the season background which is a NO for me. For sides we chose the Homemade Biscuits(HEAVY AND DRY), Succotash(FROZEN VEGETABLE BAG MIX with some bacon thrown in for a bit of flavor), Sweet Potatoes(FROZEN ENTREE taste), Mac & cheese(POTENTIAL but just ok)and Shrimp and grits (SALTY) I can only assume based on the many good reviews, yesterday was just an off day in the kitchen. read more

The place was pretty cool and the service was great. We ordered the spoon bread, (delicious) chicken sandwich, (husband loved it, I thought it was okay), and the bbq pork burnt ends (they were okay, wouldn't order again.

This place is great with some delicious options for food and drinks. LOCATION & PARKING This a a national chain with only one location in Charlotte in one of the trendiest areas in town (South End). This place has a great vibe with some great cool people and servers. There is tons of free parking in the shared parking garage of the mixed property (residential and retail shops around). MENU The menu of a beer hall is pretty much what you'd expect. My wife and I had the fried chicken sandwich, the Carolina braised pork sandwich, the coleslaw and the spoonbread (corn bread). For drinks, we had the blackberry lemonade with no alcohol and a peach hard cider. Everything was delicious. PLUS AND CONS The common spaces and restrooms were pretty clean. Our server was super friendly and helpful. Now, the only issue we had was that we went on a Sunday evening about two hours before closing time. We were sitting near the bar, and the bar staff were starting to clan up with a product that had an extremely strong smell that bothered our first experience at this place. I'm sure it was not ill-intentioned, but keep that in mind if you are planning to eat there late: Avoid the bar area later in the evening just in case. It's a great place for a nice time and watch a game. We see ourselves coming back. read more
