Stopped in at 1897 Market again while traveling through CLT on a layover. Sat at the bar and ordered the Spinach Mushroom Swiss Omelette with potatoes and a side of chicken apple sausage. The omelette was massive--enough food to power you through a full day of travel--and the potatoes were well-seasoned with just the right amount of crispness. The chicken apple sausage side definitely wasn't pleasing to the eye, but the flavor was decent if you like a sweeter sausage link. Friendly staff and quick service at the bar make it a reliable pitstop between gates. read more

My favorite place to grab food and drinks in CLT! It's located conveniently in the Atrium, pretty much in the middle of the airport. I usually fly American, and this is convenient to the terminals that serve that airline. Although it's usually busy, don't be discouraged because they move pretty quickly. The staff is always good, and the food and drinks are also good! Additionally, the prices are reasonable for airport food. I love their salads and pizza! On my last visit, I also had the wings, and they were great as well. I really appreciate that they have fresh and healthier options. The menu isn't large, but it's got a nice variety that can satisfy different tastes and wants. read more

You just sit and wait but nobody waits on you. About 10 waitstaff just walk by. Nobody says a word. Ugh. Really painful. I was really hoping to make a connecting flight in next 2.5 hours. Not worth your time. Literally. read more

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

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

Recommendation from AI and I was very pleased. I had the wedge, one of the better wedges I had. Full of bleu cheese, bacon and good bleu cheese dressing. Very good. I also enjoyed the wings. They were large and meaty. Service was friendly and helpful (server suggested, strongly, I do not order the calamari, my guess is everyone should avoid it). 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

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

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

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

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

Epicly uninteresting and incredibly rude hostess and bartender. I'll be finding another stop in the B Gates in the future.

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

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

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

We came to this establishment on June 25, 2026, while waiting for my flight to depart. My best friend and I waited for over 20 minutes, and not a single server came to assist us after we were seated. Several people who arrived after us were served before we were. When we finally asked if someone would be coming to our table, the lady we spoke with told us that she was not our server and offered no further assistance. The lack of attention and customer service was very disappointing. Never again. Rude!! read more

I have tried this place multiple times. I really want it to be good, but I just have never had a good experience, not once. I had an hour till my flight. I was seated in the back in a completely full room ; only one waitress!!! On a Saturday?? I tried using the QR code, but it kept popping up somebody else's check and wouldn't let me order. I waited 25 minutes to order directly. She was sweet but understandably frazzled. I had time for one piece of my undercooked pizza, begged for the check since I couldn't use the QR code to pay since it was someone else's check. Waitress A+. Food D+. Experience F.

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

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

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

I can't say anything about the food, because we never got seated. Worst Hostess ever. She took our names on a list, told us 10-15 minutes and then went home when her shift ended 5 min later. Total mess after that as multiple families were left hung out to dry, as they no longer offered hostess service after 7pm. read more

If I could give less than 1 star I would. Worst service I've ever had...couldn't get seated, ' hostess ' left and we got lost on list, " do it yourself" side person behind register couldn't care less. DONT GO TO EAT HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE INSULTED, HUNGRY, AND DISAPPOINTED!!! read more

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

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

Waited over 30 minutes at our table. Multiple other tables came and left from no service, more people came and were seated and a waiter took their order after 5 minutes. Needless to say after 45 minutes we left. Stay away from this place! 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

I fly through CLT often for work and always look forward to stopping at 1897 because the food and drinks are excellent, but the service is so inconsistent that I may have to settle for something different on my next trip. My most recent visit to the location wasn't on a particularly busy travel day and the restaurant itself was maybe 1/3 to a 1/2 full, but the service was so slow you'd think it was the busiest day of the year. I had 2 hours to wait for my flight so I was not in a rush at all and had no problem with the 15 or so minutes it took to be seated, but it literally took 30 minutes for my server to bring water and even though I put my food in at that time an hour later I still was sitting with nothing but a glass of water. Now with only 30 minutes or so before boarding I left a few dollars just for the service and let the manager know I was leaving. They apologized that they were running behind that day, and while I'm completely understanding of that it was the lack of visit or communication from my server for almost an hour that really disappointed me. This was the 2nd time I've had to leave 1897 due to slow service, in fairness I've probably been to 1897 a half dozen times this year alone. Aside from service being inconsistent everything else about 1897 is great. The food is amazing (the burger with fried egg ) and drinks are equally impressive. The ambiance is pretty laid back and I enjoy spending an hour or so here with my laptop getting work done while relaxing with a drink. read more
