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.

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.

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.

Entrance

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.

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.

Wings. Fried hard as requested

I think this is the best restaurant to stop at in the airport: everything was delicious and service was great.

Front entrance - lot of space to sit
Divya R.

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.

Salad

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.

The service was fast. Didn't find it to be super friendly which is fine I can see them quickly turning tables. Portions are huge just a warning and the ambiance was smart travel casual.

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!

Just getting started.

I left a Wi-Fi hotspot there on the bar on Tuesday 1/25 but can't reach anyone by phone. Please let me know if this was found.

Amazing place!!!! Definitely returning!…read more Food 5 stars Customer service 5 stars Super clean establishment. Food was outstanding. Employees were very upbeat, friendly and genuinely happy to be there. Not used to that, but I'll take it! We ordered the following: Loaded breakfast tots - yummy goodness Smokeshow- amazingly Flavorful and delicious. Almost decadent. Short stack pancakes - very good No complaints

Really disappointed with this restaurant. The fundamental issue is that I thought the biscuits were…read moretoo dense and not light and fluffy like I prefer. The entire meal was disappointing. 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. Not everyone in the restaurant treated them with the respect and gratitude they deserve. Here's the detail of our order from their menu. GRAVY TRAIN mini biscuits with samples of our gravies: sausage, mushroom, and smoked gouda mornay 9.25 FRIED GREEN TOMATOES O hand-breaded and served with ranch or pimento cheese (+1) 8.5 CHICK 'N DITCH THE WAFFLE we've ditched the waffle and replaced it with our biscuit-style french toast with a buttermilk fried chicken breast and Mike's Hot Honey 13.25 THE G.O.A.T. buttermilk fried chicken breast, sweet pepper jelly, goat cheese 12.25 DARK & SPICY BLOODY MARY poblano-tomato mix, vodka, garnish 11.25 (Overpriced and underwhelming)

After many visits over the years, Ruby Sunshine has officially taken the top spot as my husband's…read moreand my favorite breakfast place in Charlotte. Their menu is vast and varied. They even have a "Dietary Preference" menu (look for it online), with keto, gluten-free, and vegetarian options. Some servers aren't aware of this menu, but they will see it in their Toast device if they look for it. We have landed on a couple of favorite dishes that are repeats for us. I like the Spanish Omelet keto-style. Instead of a biscuit and grits, you get a half of an avocado (sliced) and a roasted tomato. The omelet is always full of flavor, and I love it. 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. They are slightly chewy, and the white chocolate whiskey sauce is amazing. He rarely uses the syrup! Ruby's coffee is always good and strong, and their service is great, no matter who you get. I'm already thinking of when we will return next!

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.
