Located inside the lively Optimist Hall, Harriet's Hamburgers is a great stop if you're craving a…read moresimple, well-executed smash burger. Optimist Hall itself is a very food-centric, upscale food hall with a ton of vendors, so the atmosphere is energetic and fun. Seating can be a little challenging during peak dinner hours since so many people are grabbing food from different spots, but when the weather is nice there's plenty of outdoor seating. Harriet's keeps their burger formula refreshingly simple. It's a classic smash burger done right--made to order with a straightforward menu that doesn't overcomplicate things. There's usually a line, but it moves pretty quickly, and the burgers come out hot and fresh. One of the best parts of eating here is the flexibility of the food hall experience. While you're waiting, you can grab a craft beer, a glass of wine, or even browse for dessert from one of the other vendors. Insider tip: Come with a group if you can. It's a great place to share fries and let everyone explore different vendors around the hall. Parking is fairly easy with the nearby garage, which makes the whole experience even more convenient. Overall, Harriet's is a fun, delicious stop for a smash burger, especially if you're already enjoying the energy of Optimist Hall.

After seeing Harriet's Hamburgers all over TikTok being crowned "the best burger in Charlotte," I…read morehad to see what the hype was about. I live super close to Optimist Hall, so it's been on my radar for a while. This particular night I wasn't feeling great, so I DoorDashed instead of dining in. I ordered the Royale with crispy fries and let me just say... I get it. The burger was genuinely impressive. The quality of the beef stood out immediately. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The meat to bun ratio was spot on, which is crucial. Nothing worse than a bread heavy burger. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh, the build was balanced, and even after delivery, everything held up beautifully. So far I've tried two burger spots in Charlotte, and this one takes the top spot. I'm not ready to declare it the best in the entire city just yet because my burger tour is ongoing, but right now it's leading the race. I'll definitely be going to Optimist Hall soon to try it fresh off the grill and experience the service and atmosphere firsthand. Expect an update. But based on this first round alone, Harriet's is absolutely worth the order. Burger lovers, this one deserves a try.

The case was full of cookies and a few petalcakes (aka cupcakes) After speaking to the nice young man behind the counter that said some batches of cookies had just come out of the oven, we went for two cookies. A classic chocolate chip and a fresh out of the oven s'mores. Prices were not listed anywhere we could see, but we were in for the sweet treat. I was, however, taken aback a bit that two cookies were $10 and some change, but having said that they were delicious cookies. Especially the s'mores. We're still pulling for Gibson Mill Market to make it because it's such a great concept. The atmosphere is great for meeting up with friends and hanging out with a beverage.

To eat, we started with an Onion Rings basket (10/10) they were hot and fresh and the sauce served with them was yummy. I also ordered the Bistro burger with Parmesan truffle fries (10/10) my burger was flavorful, all of the toppings meshed well together and the fries were fresh and crispy. My meal was sooo good!!

Thrilled to find this because then the whole family was happy. Hostess was so speedy to seat us which we greatly thanked her as we were all quite hungry and it was quite past a few family members normal lunch times! Our server Savannah was helpful and pointed out all the of the seasonal specials when we asked what she would recommend and if there are any new items on the menu. Whole family liken the brie and bacon bites and cranberry sauce that comes with them. I asked if they had any mocktails and was delighted that not only did they but Savannah recommended one that I totally loved. We regularly doordash Bad Daddy's and I think that their tater tots are stand out. This location was no exception. They are the perfect texture and flavor every time. We ordered an assortment of burgers and everyone's order arrived exactly as requested from temp to which items or condiments to be included. They grabbed us some mayo when we asked for some for the tater tots. Whole family sans me loved the specialty sauce they make. It was ok but I am also not as into sauces as the rest of the fam :) For dessert we ordered the Oreo cheesecake and the banana pudding. Both were phenomenal and everyone was thrilled with. Excellent banana pudding flavors, texture and layers. I think may be one of the best I have ever had. Definitely in my top 5. Family that had the Oreo cheesecake loved it, thought it was a unique take and did not leave any on the plate nor did they need a to go bag. I found all the desserts to be a shareable size for us. Would absolutely return and recommend!

I've had the sticky cake with vanilla bean ice cream and all I can say is that I was tempted to order a second helping! The ambience is nice, not too noisy(although it's usually full of diners) it's rustic yet upscale with high tops, booths and tables. Nice for a date night, ladies night or large group. They also have outdoor dining with lovely umbrella covered tables. The service was great!

My husband enjoyed his hot honey sandwich and no complaints and may daughter did like her chicken tenders and fries. Our server was very friendly and knew the menu well.

The ambiance is a local spot, I noticed lots of people grabbing to go orders. I felt kind of "basic" when I ordered the grilled chicken club, because of all the "international" and unique options there were. But when my sandwich came out and I bit into it, it was far from basic. It was a top tier sandwich. The bread tasted freshly baked. Airy, crispy and soft. The marinated chicken was tender. What stood out the most though was the addition of the green sauce and honey chipotle sauce. It's a brilliant combo that worked so well with this sandwich. I didn't put the thing down once until I was finished it was so good. I also had the Dominican potato salad. While I'm not sure what made it Dominican, it's on par with all the other great potato salads I've had. Lil papi has gained itself a new loyal customer. I can't wait to try more!

The restaurant was a ghost town on a Sunday evening. Maybe everyone is still eating Thanksgiving leftovers? Since there were 3 of us, we opted for an order of 3 tenders, 3 sliders, and 3 fry flavors. It was definitely enough for us to all share. The tenders were nice and crispy and the sweet chili sauce was good. I picked the Green Flag slider with bacon and pickles, very tasty. The little burger was cooked perfectly. For the fries we went with beer cheese and bacon, MW dusted, and Cajun. The Cajun were the best of the 3. The MW dust is a little on the sweet side which I didn't mind because I was dipping mine in the leftover sweet chili sauce. I was hoping to be able to pick tots as one of the 3 options but it was fries or tots, no mixing. I was also a little disappointed that the entrees options did not come with any sides. Since they were dead, the hostess was also our server. She was sweet. She answered all of our questions with ease. She didn't check back as much as I would have preferred for refills and the check but it wasn't a terrible wait. I think I was just ready to hit the road for the long ride home. They have a serious number of TVs for a sports bar so I'm sure if you are a football fan, you'll be able to watch your game, or better yet, a NASCAR race once the season starts back in February. Overall, decent bar food with plenty of TVs for sports spectators.
