Busy day here in CLT! This is a stop for me if I've got a long layover. The staff has always been friendly and very accommodating! I'm typically a single ship here but the food is good and the service has always been solid. Today Josh took great care of me. I like sitting close to the kitchen. You get a real appreciation for the care and collaboration from them for every dish! I see the other reviews about the place but my experiences here have been great. Full bar too. Thanks Josh! read more

Friendly wait staff -thank you ladies! Saltiest calamari I've ever had - don't order it!! 1897 Burger would have been perfect BUT they didn't toast the bun and the fries were from Costco. The Salmon entree was good, can't complain! Ambiance - typical easy going airport restaurant and bar. Overall, it's a typical airport restaurant - nothing to brag home about. read more

Airport food. Not great. Ordered a Coke Zero and the syrup or something was off, color and taste were not right. We asked for a Diet Coke instead and the server gave us a new one. The burger was alright, messy and could have used a sauce. The waffle fries were good, crispy. Our server was nice! read more

There's not much to choose from in the Charlotte Airport, especially if your leaving early in the morning. the 1897 Market is one of the few options available. I'm not inferring that is is a good option, but it was open, and thus the defacto choice. We've eaten here many times on our way to or back from Curacao. We've tried eggs, pizza, burgers and more. They have both table service and self service sections. The food is okay for an airport, but not nearly as good as Legal Seafood for example. That said, if you're connecting at 8pm, this might be one of the best options available. read more

Great service and a nice breakfast! Had a bit of a layover so opted for a sit-down breakfast. Lots of options in Charlotte's airport, and I fly through Charlotte a good bit so wanted to try something different. Found 1897 on Yelp, read some reviews and made my way to the restaurant. I ordered a mimosa and a mushroom and spinach omelette but substituted the home fries for sausage. The mushrooms were so good. I didn't eat the entire omelette but dug through to make sure I got all the mushrooms. The sausage was like smoked sausage and not breakfast sausage. I ate about half of it. Everything was good. I made a point of telling the kitchen staff my breakfast was great. Bet they don't get much praise but they deserve it. Nice job, kitchen staff! read more

We had a brief layover and were craving a beer to keep the party going from Punta Cana. Kells the bartender was amazing (the six of us agree). We had some trouble with the QR codes not working to order but he pleasantly said what do you need I'll get it. He wished our friend a happy birthday, let us split plates for a burger, recommended the Makers46 on special, let us sample a local beer, and was all around a fantastic employee, not the typical disgruntled airport robot! Really put a nice cap on our vacation! read more

The server had an attitude and was not availble for 20 to 30 mins at a time, when I complaind to managment she came up and was complaining about my comment and lack of tip. I have not tipped someone in over 20 years. This is completely due to lack of service and attitude. The wait staff before was very attentive. She also ignored the table next to mine for over 15 mins, with out being addressed. read more

I stopped by here on a layover and had a Brooklyn Bomber pizza. It took about 10 minutes for them to warm it up in the oven, but it was pretty good. Not the best pizza I've ever had, but it hit the spot. They have a big selection of menu options, but not everything is always available. The food was good enough that I'd stop here again the next time I'm at the CLT airport. read more

I wish I had gone off the Yelp reviews. I looked at the Google reviews and decided they looked decent (for airport food) so I stopped here for dinner while I was on a layover. The first sign something was off is that they ask you to wait to be seated and it took several minutes for the single server to seat me. I was patient, I know things get busy. But, there were about 4 tables total in the restaurant. It turns out, the server was just moving painfully slow. Then, when he did seat me, it was sassy. I ordered a wedge salad minus the bacon, which was $17 without tax. Pricey, but that's airport food for you. The interior is nice, but honestly it's a little confusing that they make you be seated but then also a QR code ordering option or table service. My food came out quickly, which was a big benefit. The restaurant looks a little upscale but the food quality was super basic. The salad said it had blue cheese but it was like one or two crumbles, and it came confusingly with shredded cheddar mostly. Average ranch. The food was ok but really not exceptional and not worth the price tag. The thing that really made this experience negative was the aggressively apathetic service. The waiter had resting IDGAF face. Also, I saw him wander by and see that my plate was empty and then proceed to disappear to a different part of the restaurant for at least five minutes. He regularly disappeared, didn't check on the tables. What if I did have a flight to catch? Even though my layover was long ... my time is still valuable and I could've spent it doing something else. Also, it's just the principle that he chose to ignore me. Several other staff members were walking nearby and not one of them even offered to grab my plate. I was a server for several years so I am extremely sympathetic when restaurants are busy or someone's having a hard day, but I'm also well aware of when servers are openly hostile or just don't care about their job or their customers. I get not being thrilled about your job but don't take it out on the customers. Seriously, at least fake it. Honestly, just skip it and grab fast food or a to-go option. Will still probably be overpriced but at least you won't have to deal with avoidance and attitude. read more

DO NOT eat here!! The service is ok but the food is disgusting. I was here a few weeks ago and it was pretty bad but I decided to give it another chance on another work trip. Bad decision. I ordered a burger with a side salad. The lettuce was rotten and the burger came out ice cold. They swapped the burger and the remake was warm but the bun was cold and wet. I didn't even deal with the salad. read more

Our server was so insipid. We ordered a melon margarita that was spicy after we had asked and he had told us it wasn't. Surprise, it was actually spicy and so we returned it for a normal one bur he still charged us. Unacceptable service as he was simply an order taker not a server. He was very tall, beer belly, brown hair trimmed wearing a blue shirt today. Will NEVER return because of this. read more

Made a quick stop for lunch before our next flight. We ordered the cheese burger and the wedge salad. I thought the food was just okay. Nothing really special. Our beers were refreshing though. read more

My friend and I were stuck at the airport during our layover due to weather-related flight delays. The airline gave us each vouchers to use towards a meal purchase so we decided to dine here. We wanted somewhere were we could sit down and secure our bags and carry-ons and this place was about the best that we could do. There was no wait. Although the place was quite busy, the Hostess sat us right away and our Server came about 5 minutes later to take our drink orders. Eventually, we were ready to order. I decided to go with a bun less burger that came with fries. It was decent and very expensive considering that it was airport food. My voucher may have covered 60 percent of the bill. I have no complaints regarding the service received. The Hostess and Server were friendly and polite. With that many customers it wasn't quiet but it was not annoying loud either. It was a good place to relax and eating, especially since we had a wait of at least 5 hours. I'd probably come back if I have the misfortune of another long lay over - maybe. read more

For an airport establishment I immensely enjoyed my breakfast at 1897 Market. The omelet was size-able and tasty while the grits hit the spot. Not a 5 star dining experience but you shouldn't expect that. Quick in and out and that is also key. No quarrels. read more

1897 Market is located in the Charlotte Douglas Intl. Airport (CLT). I grabbed some water, a diet coke, and packaged snacks from the "grab and go" market area. Quick and easy. Service was friendly. I didn't have time to dine in so went with quick and easy. read more

Another layover and another airport restaurant. This was pretty good. Service was quick and refreshing. Especially from the ambiance of travelers rushing to catch their flights. My burger and hazy was an added delight. If passing through Charlotte airport be sure to give 1897 a chance. read more

I stopped by and got a soda and a grilled three cheese and tomatoe panini. As you'd expect st an airport it was quite pricey. The sandwich was toasted up as I was paying for the soda and the sandwich, so it was nice and hot. Well, warm anyway by the time I got around to eating it but that's on me, not the restaurant. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and courteous which you don't always get at an airport so that was nice. The bread was good and it had a nice amount of cheese. I was expecting tomato slices but it was more like a marinara or pizza sauce inside the grilled cheese which was a bit unexpected. read more

Have to concur with the overall rating of this CLT airport dining spot. Service and food average. Waitress responded and brought fresh out food after delay in getting lunch. Bloody Marty was sweet, but good! Fried chicken and burger were just OK. Decent place where there are few options. read more

Great place to get some delicious breakfast in between flights. I was craving oatmeal, and, boy, did I get some delicious steel-cut oatmeal! Served in a jar, beautifully dressed with chopped strawberries, maple syrup and brown sugar. My husband loved his order of grits with a lovely friend egg. Friendly service. Nice layout, clean. read more

Chewiest fried chicken breasts ever? Maybe. Tiniest sampling of cole slaw too? Yep. Mashed pots deliver butter, so yum. Kindly, waiter brought more hot sauce to ease meal along. Maybe try the shrimp with grits. read more

1897 Market - Layover sad meal. - Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Location in Charlotte Airport. Beware! Waited to be seated, then waited to be served but never was! Placed in the back section, many open tables, but no server. Hostess did not offer to get any drinks or take an order or assist or check to see that a server would be available. I noted she was very busy on her personal cell phone though, as I walked out. This is a busy location, but airport customers are often on tight timelines. You would think a restaurant would cater to that reality by staffing appropriately and being more attentive. Oh well. Airport concession management being what it is, it's not surprising as the motivation is not there. It doesn't matter to them where you buy they'll take your $35 plus airport markup for a $12 egg breakfast at whichever spot you'll most tolerate. read more

The only thing worse than the service was the food. It wasn't busy when we were there but it still took 20+ minutes for chicken and waffles. Chicken is a mix of brown and white meat and has an odd flavor. The coffee was luke warm at best. The drinks were $21.00 each for a mimosa. read more

It was fine for airport food if you want some healthier options with better quality than normal. Service was quick.

Am sad to have to update my five star review but I've been here twice in the past six weeks and both times have had really pathetic experiences with the hostess stand personnel. Zero energy. I stood in front of the young lady today for a good little while with zero acknowledgment and when she did finally decide to acknowledge my presence it was a lackluster and you-are-bothering-me vibe. Not at all welcoming. When she finally decided it was okay to seat me she dropped the menu on the table and walked away. I then witnessed the same interaction over and over with every customer after me. To the management of this establishment, you've got a service issue. read more

Save your time, hostess is insanely RUDE. Left immediately once she slammed down the menu after asking to be sat. Acted like i couldn't sit down to look at the menu. Ambiance is typical restaurant but you want to be treated nicely when you go to a restaurant no? Especially while traveling . Dont be a hostess if you dont want to talk to people!!!!!!!!! read more

I wanted to try this place because the airport map states it was featured on food network. Waited about 10 minutes to be seated. You can scan QR code or wait for the server, probably faster to scan. I ordered Steak Frites (probably misspelled) I requested the steak be cooked "Medium", and I also got a sweet tea. This place was very busy. My food took about 30mins. My steak was overly well done, to the point that the meat was completely dried out. The only way I could eat it was to dip it in the gravy. I also saw my plate had a chip in it.. not really safe for someone if they had kids, the chipped part was quite sharp. I could have said something, but I was really hungry and didn't want to wait another 30 minutes, for a chance of it being corrected or not. The French fries were not great, like no flavor on them, even though they looked covered in Parmesan. I seen a few other people order food and when their food came out, they didn't have any silverware to eat it with, which took almost 5 mins for that to be delivered. Either they're under staffed or under trained. I'm going to assume under trained, because I did see someone that looked to be a manager, doing bare minimum to help out behind the cooking area. When it came time to try to get my check, it took me about 10 minutes to get someone's attention. The staff were very polite, just really slow. If you're on a time crunch, I don't recommend this place. I was quite disappointed, and won't try it again. read more

Pizza was pretty good for what it was - precooked and reheated in the pizza oven, much like Sabarro at the mall. Definitely a difference between their sit down service and walk up. I had time to sit down but couldn't find the entrance. Seating was limited for walkups with the tables marked as "do not sit" for the walk ups. That was frustrating. read more

Not only did a roach crawl across the bar while we were waiting on our food, the bartender didn't know how to make a michelada. The chicken we ordered was undercooked, the calamari was extra chewy and the server didn't apologize for the roach that we had to kill with a ketchup bottle. Not to mention everything is about $20. Beware!!! read more

Had a 4 hour layover and just wanted a comfortable spot to sit for a while. I wanted dinner and drinks. When I got to the restaurant I followed the host who pointed aggressively at a tiny table with very uncomfortable metal chairs. I assumed he meant I was to sit there. They weren't busy, so I asked if I could sit at a booth. He told me no, the booths were reserved for 2 or more people. I didn't stay. I'll find another place to relax. I'm sure there are other restaurants in this airport that will have a more welcoming experience. Don't come here if you want to be treated like a human. read more

Came for breakfast before my flight. I wanted a big meal that was fresh cooked. The ambiance is really nice, it's very nicely decorated. The menu is decent wide for breakfast. After 10am the menu is much larger. Good came out fast. I got the breakfast My bread was ok, 3 half slices (so odd why not 4? Or just give 2?), but it was chewy. The eggs and potatoes were ok. No onions- that would be nice in the potatoes.. the sausage was very flavorful however I could not cut it. The knife is dull and the link casing was so thick I couldn't even chew it. It was frustrating. The coffee was decent. Good for sit down breakfast and service to you, but the food was decent. $23 for my breakfast read more

We have gone here (Charlotte airport) multiple times while waiting for our next flight. We had outstanding customer service from Kelz at the bar. His boss should give him a raise! He was serving the bar customers as well as preparing drinks for the entire restaurant and despite how busy he was, he was still so polite and attentive to all of his customers! Food was great too. They ran out of our favorite wings because it was late at night but we ended up eating a cheeseburger which was yummy! Thanks Kelz!! Common sense, don't go here if you're in a rush but if you have a longer layover definitely give it a try! read more

The most disgusting garbage "food" I've ever had the displeasure to consume. The calamari was some kind of heavily breaded and salted rubber. The pizza was burnt. The salad was a head of lettuce with a spoonful of bleu cheese. The only palatable item was the beer. We would habe been better off grabbing Burger King. Do yourself a favor and commit suicide before eating here. read more

we had what turned out to be a 2+ hour layover in Charlotte and had lunch at 1897 Market. Danielle didn't really get anything out of the ordinary (chicken sandwich) but i had the Uptown Burger and it was incredible. i will definitely be dreaming of it for a long time to come. read more

BBQ Shrimp & Grits - NOT BBQ shrimp. Despite the cooks admitting to *not barbecuing* the shrimp, they still pass off as BBQ - because "sauce". Tomatoes & oil, lots of garlic, not a hint of bbq flavoring. It was a lie. Lies continue: receipt says contact through code below - there's NO CODE. Manager: "sorry ma'am, new system", another lie; and "use the code on table", just can't stop - code was for menu/payment, no contact/review whatsoever. Rude waitstaff. read more

The place looked cool so I decided to go during my layover. Usually all restaurants in airports are quick but it took almost 40 minutes for my food to come out. I ordered the grilled Caesar salad with chicken and it was absolutely disgusting. I took 2 bites and walked out. Not worth the wait or money. read more

This review is for the 1897 restaurant in the Charlotte airport. I had a 3 hour layover in CLT due to the global IT meltdown that impacted Microsoft Azure Cloud and therefore it's client airlines and banks etc. This was one of the 2 sit down options in my terminal, and I could swear this location was a TGI Friday's in a former life. I took a seat at the bar which had a few openings. Service was very slow despite 2 bartenders, it took me 12 minutes to get a drink, a simple bloody Mary ( asked for Tito's and watched the woman pour well vodka into drink anyways!) I was road weary and didn't feel like arguing. No water given, and my menu she handed me was so worn out, I couldn't read half the items front or back. She had to look though 6-7 menus before finding a legible one! I decided on a burger, the Southern Burger, medium. I had very low expectations for this $20 cheeseburger. Asked for Onion rings vs fries, and she stated the onion rings are not very good and I'd be disappointed. Hmm.. ok. Burger was mid at best. It was a frozen Sysco Foods patty cooked to medium. Fries were skinny and decent sprinkled with Parmesan, no truffle taste at all (most likely false advertising). Asked for water and got a glass of tap water from a tepid pitcher, no ice. I'll never eat here again or get a drink. It's wicked overpriced and people are shocked when they get the bill and see the drink Costs that aren't printed on the menus. Same trick the garbage restaurants on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach pull if you've ever been there. Skip this place, there's better options in the terminal and in other terminals if you have the time to get to one! read more
