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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

I know I made it look very pretty in my photos, but don't be fooled. Here is the complete review. We found the green tomatoes bland and appeared to have been frozen before being prepared. The "Gravy Train" with the mini biscuit was inedible. The gravy itself was OK. Nothing special, not one of the three were "great." But the mini biscuits were terrible, hard, dense chunks of dough. I ate one of them and discarded the rest. The "Chicken Ditch the Waffle" was equally terrible. Whatever they did to turn the biscuit into "fake" French toast is a 100% fail. They were as dense and unappealing as the mini biscuits. The chicken itself was fine. If I was only rating the chicken I'd probably give it a 3.5. The best dish was actually the "GOAT." It was served with a Standard biscuit which we thought was still too dense and dry. I recommend finding an independent restaurant that serves real, "from scratch" food. I should point out that the service crew in the dining room who delivered the food as well as provided cleanup and assistance, were exceptional. They were friendly, courteous, and focused on customer service. I'm sure they deserve more than they are being paid. It was obvious many of them were spanish-speaking immigrants.

My husband's favorite is their White Chocolate Bread Pudding Pancakes, with bacon ($2 extra). Don't let the name deter you--these pancakes aren't too thick.

The service is always fast and friendly, and of course, the food is good! I started with the fried green tomatoes, and they were easily the highlight of the meal. They were fried so well and topped with bacon, tomato, lettuce, and a tasty remoulade. I'm still thinking about them honestly! For my entrée, I ordered the 3 Little Pigs Omelet. Unfortunately, it was a bit underwhelming. It was smaller than I expected and didn't really resemble an omelet. It was a little messy and slightly runny for my taste. On the side, I added a single pancake and a bowl of grits, both of which were delicious though. I had a good experience and will definitely be back. I just wish the omelet had been prepared a little better.

We loved the make your own waffle and biscuit options. My husband made his cornbread waffle with fried chicken, eggs, pimiento and bacon jam, and I made my biscuit with fried chicken, eggs, arugula, gravy, and pecan crumble. Both were delicious, I can't wait to go back and try another combo. However, they are massive so definitely shareable if you just do one or take half home for dinner. The portions are truly generous!

It's small, you order cafeteria style before being seated, you seat yourself, and it can get a little noisy. We visited on a Sunday around 2:10 p.m., and there were still plenty of tables available. Then I tasted the food. The menu is built around customization. You can build your own waffle by choosing your waffle, meat, toppings, and sauce. Or build your own biscuit or grit bowl the same way. There are enough combinations that you could come back several times and order something different each visit. I ordered the Chicken and Red Velvet Waffle. It comes with crispy fried chicken, a red velvet waffle, cream cheese drizzle, syrup, and cinnamon butter. The chicken was crispy and juicy, although a few bites were a little salty. Not every bite, and the syrup balanced it out nicely. The cinnamon butter was a nice touch. However the waffles literally disintegrated under the chi My daughter ordered the Crab Cake Benedict Biscuit, and we shared it. It comes with a crab cake, sunny side up eggs, arugula, spinach, and hollandaise on a flaky biscuit. We also shared an order of Crispy Brussels Sprouts. Both were delicious, and the portions were generous enough that we still had leftovers to take home. One thing I liked was the variety of toppings and sauces. I had never heard of bacon jam before seeing it on the menu. If you like to customize your food, you'll have fun here. I came in expecting average and left planning my next visit. Must order: Crab Cake Benedict Biscuit, and the Crispy Brussels Sprouts. Tip: Don't skip the build-your-own options. There are enough combinations to create something every body likes.

There is never enough staff, leaving the folks who do show up for work (or perhaps management is trying to cut corners by having fewer people there) seemingly having a tough time. That's why I don't go there much, but did last Saturday because my guests wanted that. Diego at the front counter was exceptional. I just hope management clues in and rewards him accordingly. Just because the food is good doesn't mean it's enjoyable for the paying customers to grow old waiting in line and then grow old again waiting for the food. As we say in the South, God Bless the workers. And to Diego, I say thank you! You deserve better.

I looked online for a same day reservation but had no luck so I decided to call to double check. The hostess was super sweet and ended up squeezing me in at the bar for 7pm. Post reservation I received both an email and text message confirmation. I even got a 1hr out text that included parking options and an address which was very helpful. The staff here are ALL very kind, knowledgeable and welcoming. The bar seating is intimate but I felt we had plenty of space to eat comfortably. Our plates were also cleared almost immediately after each dish was finished so it never felt crowded. The food was great. At first we were presented only regular menus but when I mentioned to my server that I prefer veggie rolls he went and grabbed me a separate menu that had plenty of options to honor my picky pallet. He was great in both recommending dishes and explaining in detail how things were prepared. Food comes out when it's ready so there was a constant rotation of plates coming in and out. Everything was made to order and extremely fresh. I had a little singular avocado bite sushi and it was to die for. A one bite tease but super worth it. The drinks were tasty and the overall dinner experience was perfect. This was a 10/10 experience for me and I can't wait to come back.

If you're a sushi lover, the menu is pretty extensive, with a variety of different options. However, as someone who doesn't eat much sushi or seafood, I found the menu to be pretty limited, so there weren't many options for me. However, our group went with the chef's tasting menu and they all said it was great value, plenty of different options, and a reasonable price. We shared the Uchi Salad (so good) and hot rock wagyu which was VERY tasty! Highly recommend. Great quality for the price. We also ended with the warm banana cake and wow! Overall, it's a great spot for the ambiance and service, but I would not recommend for someone who doesn't eat a lot of sushi or seafood. It looked like Uchiba upstairs had more non-seafood options so I will definitely check that out soon! They also validate your parking garage ticket which is a plus.

It's different for a traditional sushi/sashimi and different from a conventional ceviche you may find in Central America. I always stick with any of the nigiri and tiratado. If you want more of their traditional ceviches they have that as well. Pair the tiratado with their tostones - *chefs kiss We did venture and try the New York strip - it was fine, I didn't think the steak had enough time to rest so it's lost the sear it probably had when it got to our table.
