This is probably the first time I've ever written a review for airport food, but here we are! Stopped in and wanted something relatively healthy. Got the tabbouleh wrap with chicken and a side of fries. That wrap was DELICIOUS. I was so pleased. Only knocking stars for the price, because $23 for a wrap is ridiculous. But if I'm going to pay that much, I'm just glad it was good. Sat at the bar. Service was fine--nothing above and beyond, but they were friendly and we got our food in a reasonable amount of time to eat and get to our gate. read more

CLT airport A terminal sit-down option. I know that you're realistically never going to be blown away by airport food. But, c'monnnnn. It was something like $13 for a draft beer, and expensive entrees ($24+) for some BS. Also, I totally just wanted a chicken tender basket or something after catching wind of the Wendy's across the walkway, but they didn't even have that. Service was lackluster, they were understaffed for sure. Ambiance is, of course, awful because everyone smells like plane and is tired of hauling their luggage. I ordered the chicken and waffles which was 4 wings (mid) and a hotel continental breakfast style waffle. Just weird. read more

I have to tell you, really agree with my fellow Yelp friends! This is a solid 4 all day long. Even though the place was completely busy, the hostess accommodated us very sweetly and the waitress checked on us a number of times and made sure that we were good to go... So awesome service. It's an airport bar so ambience doesn't matter as much. And the food honestly delivered. Pulled pork with the option of the jalapeños was absolutely fantastic. I saw somebody else complain about the cost of the beer and I would like to say you are at an airport lol. Normal prices. I would definitely come here again next time I'm in Charlotte airport. read more

The Taproom - Mambo pulled pork with salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Ok, yes this is airport food but it was really good. Of course, we were hungry so that probably made a difference, lol. The service was alright. They checked on us several times. The place overlooks the tarmac so no real ambiance. I had the BBQ pork flatbread that was delicious. Hubby had the chicken quesadilla that was just good. The beer choices were pretty good as well. The prices were really high but about what we expected since we were eating at the airport. read more

Solidly good food and good service. Grabbed a couple of seats at the bar to get lunch. A couple of staff behind the bar and lots of others working the tables and helping the bar as well. Staff seemed to work well together and helped each other out. My wife got the pulled pork. Good BBQ with lots of toppings. I got the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, a big piece of chicken with fresh cucumber and a good flavor. Moderate spice level. Normal airport pricing, but a good stop with quite a few options. Busy bar with TV's and many tables that can see the TV's too. read more

When I first walked up, there was no one at the take-out order desk, so we went over to the hostess stand. The hostess was very kind and went to look for the woman who was supposed to be handling to-go orders, but she was nowhere to be found, so the hostess helped us herself. Toward the end of placing the order, the take-out attendant finally walked out from the terminal hallway and took my payment. I asked for my burger to be cooked medium rare and to have it made without coleslaw. I was then informed by the manager that they couldn't cook the burger medium rare because they "didn't have the kind of beef that could be cooked like that," which was disappointing but I was told it would be medium well, which was understandable. What wasn't understandable was the service afterward. I had a cash tip ready for the take-out attendant, but she was in such a hurry to hand me my order and return to socializing with the other employees that I couldn't even get her attention to give it to her. When I opened the box, I found coleslaw on top of the burger despite my request, and there was only one napkin included. I had to ask a patron sitting at the bar to grab extra napkins for me, and without any silverware provided, I ended up wiping the coleslaw off the sandwich myself. In addition the bread was hard like it had been heated hours ago, the burger was well done, and cold. It's no wonder....gave me my order was ready in 5 minutes. My husband and I fly American Airlines regularly in and out of Charlotte, and I can confidently say I will not be returning to this location after such a poor experience. There's no excuse for giving people food that has been just sitting around the kitchen. read more

Expensive but what airport eating establishment isn't. I chose The Taproom because it was close to my gate. Glass of wine and a bbq pork sandwich With fries. The sandwich had slaw, jalapeño and an onion ring on it. Found out the barbecue is from the place at the airport that's in the atrium, so I'll be eating there next time! Everything was good, fries were hot and tasty and the wine...was what I expected. The bartender was attentive and was quick to close my tab when I put my card down. Overall a good, albeit expensive trip. read more

Located in Terminal A around gate A5. There is a "U" shaped bar in the middle of the space, and a fair amount of tables scattered theroughout the space. The beer list is predominantly localish craft beers. The food selection is largely typical pub fare (burgers, flatbreads, wings, etc...). I got a patty melt w/onion rings, and a Sycamore Dark Matter (black lager), the food was pretty good, and the server was great. overall, the place was pretty good, but there are alot of great options at CLT these days. read more

Food was so delicious and staff were friendly and attentive. The chicken pesto sandwich was amazing, the cheese flatbread was not as pretty but my daughter loved it. Burger and pulled pork sandwich were good as well. read more

We stopped by again on a layover. Had the BBQ pulled pork flatbread again. It was amazing!!!!! Every bit as good as it was last year. Gooey, luscious, savory and a little sweet with a good crunch from the crust. 5/5. Yummy! It's nice to get real food at the airport. Service was good. They let you sit without rushing you out if you need a place to enjoy your food. Last year they helped us pay quickly when we needed to go. The cost was steep for a personalized flatbread. But everything seems to be marked up at airports. Bustling with lots of patrons. But window looking out in the tarnac seemed like a nice place to relax and plane watch. 5/5. Highly recommend. Worth a stop if you have time. read more

Good spaced and very decent place. It's near A5 gate so was super convenient. Surprisingly enough they served the food very quickly and that was helpful. I got grilled chicken ranch and bacon burger with side salad. I asked for no bacon but it was nice of them to give it on the side as a teoption. It was good quality and tasty. Sufficient seating place so was able to sit and eat comfortably too in the decent place to board the flight quickly. read more

When we have a layover in Charlotte, you have to stop at The Taproom!! Met Hunter and Jessica in January 2026 while returning home from WA state. Now we are flying to Miami for a cruise and had another layover. Why not go from gate D6 to A4 for a 9 am beer?? Best crew in the airport. read more

Had a long layover in Charlotte. Saw this place had good reviews and tried it! Sat at the bar pretty quickly. Extremely fast and courteous service! Tried the pulled pork sandwich with onion rings. It was hot, and delicious. BBQ is more tangy and vinegary. Onion rings are pretty standard bar food rings. Drinks were good too. Tried the spiked Strawberry Lemonade as well as the local soda, Cheerwine because, why not. It's like Dr. Pepper but I could drink more of this. Give it a try if you're in NC. It's local and family owned. Otherwise, this place is pretty good! Good vibes. read more

Incredibly over priced. Go to other spots at the airport. Wings and chicken seemed like they'd been fried a while ago and refried when we put the order in. Paper plates which is kinda lame when you're paying more than $20 for a sit down dish. Wings were really bad. The pesto burger was decent, not great but it was fine. The salad was pretty bad. See the picture. Servers were friendly. They did a good job. The food was just pretty weak - even by airport standards. read more

Was in the mood for a burger but had a short layover so walked by this spot and the music and vibe seemed real friendly so I had to do a double take and stop in. Upon arrival at the door was meet & greeted by the hostess Bria with a huge smile and friendly attitude I ended up sitting by the bar started with a few beers along with a bacon cheeseburger; the untapped selection was great wish I could of stayed longer to experience. One thing I do wish was that Bria was my waitress she was so helpful, attentive to all the patrons, approachable just like the other staff members. Next time I'm in NC I know where I'll be getting my next meal read more

Okay - so I was doubtful, because really, is ANY place to eat in an airport not overpriced for sub-par fare? But oh dear Yelpers traveling through the Charlotte airport - if you have a layover, even if you're far from the A gate, it's worth taking the walk down to eat here at the Taproom. The staff was great, you can watch planes take off, and best of all, the food is GREAT for airport food. I'm still thinking about my pulled pork flatbread - so tasty! I didn't even feel over-charged like I usually do at airport spots. My next trip, I might even plan a lunch layover so I can eat here again! read more

Among all the typical airport spots to get a bite and a beverage, The Taproom stands out as better than average. With about an hour between flights on a tough travel day, we stopped in. They had a lot of local beers on tap, which was very nice to see. We shared a flatbread and a salad. The food was just OK. Typical airport pricing. We were seated with a nice view of the outside of several gates, so it was enjoyable watching all the activities that go on outside on the tarmac. read more

For airport bar it is really gooood. The music is not too loud, bar has plenty of seating which is great for lone travelers. Drinks are good, nice selection of beers & other stuff. Food arrived very fast & was tasty. Bartender was attentive & kind. read more

For an airport restaurant, the food was exceptionally good. And service was really fast. I was actually surprised! The waitress we had was excellent, she was pleasant, she was efficient, she had recommendations, etc. I was really surprised at the level of service. Of course the ambience is what you would expect in a busy HUB. It's extremely loud there are televisions blaring with different sporting events and people are making new friends. It's very lively. lol If you're stuck at the airport and there's a Taproom available you should stop in and get some grub. read more

We had a long layover in CLT so I looked on Yelp for the highest rated restaurant. The Taproom was good quality food for an airport. I got the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and it was good quality and quantity. The service was pretty quick, but they were inaccurate. I ordered a side salad but they brought fries instead. I also asked for a refill of water but they never brought it. read more

staff is wonderful. I keep forgetting. I'm at the airport.

I love it when I'm waiting on my flight. read more

Food was OK - Was in the mood for a salad but the wait staff sucked - they first told me to seat wherever - it wasnt too crowded. So i sat by one of the tables close to the plane watching window... i just got done eating, they asked me to move since the table was for 4 - so i told them - is there anyone waiting - no... they just wanted me to move. I told them you lost a good customer today - my flight was not for next 2-3 hours, there could be more stuff that i would have consumed but the wait staff was too impatient to wait. First time ever at an airport bar, I was told to move.... ridiculous. I come to CLT often for business, the Tap Room is Tapped out for me. read more

Finally found a decent place to spend some time at CLT! Generally not a fan of the airport and always seem to get delayed here (American Airlines...). Not overly crowded, good service, food is decent, nothing special, beers are good. Out of the way in B but worth the walk. read more
