After driving 5 hours a few libations were needed, so ventured to the All American Pub--a short walk from where we were staying. The low room is easy to get to. The building is interesting, as you'll see it's a block of connects venues. There's plenty of things to do at AAP--basketball, pool, skeeball, or watch your game on one of the many TVs. We ordered nachos (not pictured) and a few drinks. I'm unsure if the bar and restaurant were simply busy or not, but we waited a while for our server to come back by for us to order drinks, and we even had to flag he down when she was at the table beside us and about to walk away. read more

Getting an uber last Sunday after the Panthers game was next to impossible so my friends and I decided to venture a little further out and ended up here at the AAP. The weather was so nice so we wanted to grab a table on the patio. At walk in there wasn't a hostess available at the door so we sought out an employee by the bar area and asked to be seated. After finding someone we were promtley seated on the patio but with only 2 menus for 4 people. She did apologize and said those were the only menus she had left. The music was SO LOUD. I mean it was absolutely blaring. We couldn't hear each other let alone the waitress taking our drink ordered. A group next to us had a dog and I felt so bad for it because it was noticeably uncomfortable with all the noise. Anyways, our drinks were delivered and the server came out with her tablet to take our orders. Not too long after someone else brought them out. We got 3 sets of wings and a Chicken Cesar wrap. One of the wing baskets came with no sauce on them. Naked wings with the buffalo sauce in a cup on the side. We had actually asked for extra sauce on side but it was apparently miscommunicated. The waitress was nowhere to be found. Actually, no staff was readily available. If you wanted something you had to get up and ask for it. We found someone and they offered to take them back to the kitchen and retoss the same wings in sauce. At this point they were cold so we asked for a fresh order. The Cesar wrap I ordered was super bland and although I did appreciate their shape/style the fries were cold. It also was missing sauce which probably added to the lack of flavor. The wings came with ranch so I just used that since it was already on the table After finishing our food our waitress had still not been back around so we had to go inside (again) and find her to pay. The location is great but the combination of poor food, service and the ridiculously loud music really ruined the experience for me. read more

I've had some iffy experiences at All American. College gamedays I can typically expect the service to be very slow. However, we had Lydia for our server this time and she was INCREDIBLE!!! We had a table of 9, the restaurant was packed and she took amazing care of us! She was extremely communicative when the bar would get backed up that our drinks would take longer than normal but she promises she didn't forget about us. We never had empty drinks and she took amazing care of us. I hope I get her as my server every time I come back!! read more

Plain, simple, delicious, just the way I like it. AAP is awesome, it's got all of the classic Sports Bar favorites, no overly-complicated nonsense, just well seasoned burgers, plenty of TVs, and an incredible staff! read more

We love coming to All American for their drinks specials! Beautiful outside patio to enjoy and TVs inside and outside to watch games. Right next to Bland Street Light rail station and rail trail easy access read more

Stephanie is an amazing bartender. Not only does she know how to make the perfect cosmo, but her spicy margaritas are the best! She is a true friend at the bar and remembers your name! She cares about every customer and gives her best. I hate writing reviews but she really deserves it!! read more

Don't even have a picture to post because I never got the food I ordered. The service was horrible for it not being that busy. And even though the waitress came over twice and asked if we ordered food even though she took our order twice. Wasn't even apologetic about the fact that we never got what we ordered. Don't waste your time going here. read more

This has all the makings of a great bar but is definitely lacking. Arrived Friday around 7 and there weren't many people around. Service was awful and despite sitting directly at the bar we needed to flag a bartender down if we wanted something. One bartender kept disappearing and the other just kept walking past most of us at the bar. Neither of them knew what was on our tab and were asking us what all we had ordered when we tried to close out. Many others around us had the same issue. We had ordered nachos which took a long time to come out and were just okay. Chips were bland but thick enough that they didn't get soggy. There was a decent amount of meat though which was nice for the price. Overall, based on the service I probably wouldn't come back. read more

Place sucks. I guess we ask the Bartenders for drinks. They are on there phones dumb as kids

Horrible service never been treated worst then here. Soon as we got sat down waitress had the nastiest attitude left us alone for over 30 mins then gets mad when we decide to walk out. Seems like my race was an issue to her. read more

First time at the All American Pub. Went then on a Sunday for brunch. For anyone that has been there for brunch on Sunday knows what happens at the All American Pub. They host a Drag Show/brunch every Sunday. You purchase tickets in advance. You can go in after 11:30. Boy, We had a blast. Enjoyed the spectators as much as the entertainment. The MC of the day was fantastic. So funny! It's a once in a lifetime if you have never been to one and said you would never go or it's a great one if you like Drag Shows. Back to the All American Pub. The food was excellent. Everything we ordered; the mimosa the food, sides. They came out hot and the portions were nice. I will come here again during a regular day. The atmosphere of the pub/restaurant is a bit more homey than most. So I am down to coming back soon. Thanks for the great service as well! read more

Chay is an awesome server who will greet anyone happily when they walk in. She has brought us too this bar multiple times now because of how great she is. She recognized us from last time and immediately came up to talk. Chay is an all around great server and person so if you come here ask for Chay. They also show most of the ufc fights and are a great bar for all sports. They change the tv to what you want if they have it! Thanks for all the great times here Chay and the rest of the staff! read more

The bouncers took my friends ID, who Is clearly 21. Terrible bar. They triple checked our IDs and decided to take them.

On Saturday all American Pub hosted an outside event. We enjoyed the VIP treatment for the 2nd Annual Seltzer World Festival. There were various brands of Seltzer & Craft Beer offering unlimited samples of their summer refreshments. We stopped by so many booths and now we have several favorites. Overall it was the Margarita Seltzer for Me! The VIP lounge offered covered and tabletop seating and tacos by @hottacoclt which were delicious! Unlimited beverages and snacks, raffles & giveaways. The event had a live DJ playing the heavy Hip Hop and throwbacks! We couldn't help but join in the sing along! We even played a few games and joked a bit. We couldn't leave without having dessert and the famous @donutiloveu food truck happily delivered the chocolate covered delight! read more

I was with a group of 9 people. We walked up to the host stand at 7:30 pm on a Saturday night. They told us we need to sit outside and order at the bar because they don't have any servers inside that can help us... oh well, it's not a big deal. It was only a big deal when we didn't get any service from the person at the outdoor bar for 20 minutes. We stood there for so long that she gave us an entire plastic cup of tequila for our wait. We ended up ordering online and after 30 minute of waiting (and asking the manager about our order) they tell us we can't order online. We are now an hour into our wait and decided to move inside because it has gotten cold and we got a waitress immediately after sitting down. So much for not having any any servers inside... We have now been charged twice for one order and have not received any food. 10/10 do NOT recommend this place. read more

Sunday Funday , went here on a suggestion from Eventbrite for good brunch places , tickets were 25 dollars plus tax parking was 17 dollars which sucked so you definitely want to find parking somewhere other than across the way . The Brunch was tasty the drink were awesome . But the Show baby was the treat the performers gave what needed to be given , We loved every minute of it . Have your dollars ready !!!!!! read more

I know that the pub itself is not responsible for the drag shows that are here on Sunday but the amazing shows totally bring my three star review up to a four star review. The drag shows are just so much fun and entertaining, thank you so much to All American Pub for hosting them!! Anyhow, the employees here are nice and super on top of serving large groups in a timely manner. The food is your typical bar food. Gross, but in a delicious way! Drinks are good and they have champagne towers! read more

First time at All American Pub. Expected a big crowd as this place is located less than a mile from Panthers Stadium. We arrived fairly early, about 11am. The place is great for sports junkies, there isn't a bad seat in the house if you want to watch sports. We settled on a 2-Top in the bar area. Megan was our server and she did a fantastic job! I went with the triple decker club and curly fries. The sandwich was great- plentiful meats and cheese. The curly fries were hot and well seasoned. The beers were cold and Megan constantly checked in on us. As the clock ticked closer to 1pm kickoff the place got super busy with a great mix of fans. We were there until halftime, so several hours. We never felt rushed or left unattended. Overall great pregame experience! Will be Visited again last Sunday (4/21/19) another good visit. Patio seating was nice! read more

This place just gets one star because there was no wait, compared to the surrounding places. I came on a Saturday night to watch the ufc fight, ordered an overpriced Buffalo chicken quesadilla which sucked. I could literally make that shit at home. My boyfriend ordered a Buffalo chicken sandwich, that looked delicious and he said it tasted great. We both ordered mules which were ok, but the plastic cup it came in was very tiny compared to their mule glasses that they ran out of. Parking always sucks around this area on the weekends. read more

We went to watch a basketball game on a popular Saturday. Since we do not live in the area, I can only speak to this particular outing. This restaurant was packed on this evening. Everyone was out watching this game. We put our names in to get a table to eat. We grabbed a drink at the bar an just snagged a table to stand by until our table was ready. Before I get into the actually review of the dining portion, there were a few drunk college kids just bumping into people and holding each other up.. it was hard to watch since the game started at 6pm. Now to the actual dining experience. We were seated and we waited 35-40 minutes with no one even stopping to get us drinks. We finally stopped someone to ask if someone was going to be our server and she said she would get someone. 10 minutes later our server comes over and she does apologize. I know there were a lot of people here but so many servers walked by us and no one even bothered to stop. We ordered immediately and the only person whose food was correct was me. The wings were all the wrong flavor. The wrap was pretty good and I would definitely get it again but I would wait awhile before I would come back here if we return to Charlotte. read more

This was the second time going to all American. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was pretty good. The first time we didn't have great service but we let it slide & decided to go back. The second time they used the same excuse to not have enough people to serve tables so we sat at the bar, the bartender didn't look in our direction or even acknowledge that we were there. It took us 20 mins to get someone to take our order, then another 20 to get our drinks. We decided to ask a waitress walking by to check on the status of our order she was thrown off by us asking her to go check. We ended up getting our appetizer and meal at the same time, which probably means they forgot about it. We are so disappointed in the service and will never be back there again. I've found that this is a common occurrence for people to have the worst experience at this place. 0/10 recommend. read more

All American is a fun sports bar with yummy food and drinks. Just beware- this place can get packed for big football game days and can definitely get a little rowdy! However, if that is your scene, it is a fun place to be! I love their apps, especially the wings and the "fries, fries, fries:" a delectable assortment of curly fries, sweet potato fries, and seasoned fries. Yum! They also have good deals on drinks and weekly specials. I love their Bloody Mary bar during brunch! Service can be hit or miss, but it is definitely a fun place to come for games! read more

This was the first time that my fiancé and I took the train into Charlotte. We decided to stop and have dinner before going straight into Uptown. What a mistake! Our table was coated with left over food and something sticky (although the table had been cleared and clean awaiting another guest) We asked our server three times to please wash it off. We finally called over another server which got right on it. The music was so loud, we couldn't even have a conversation. Someone spilled water on the floor (MAJOR Falling hazard). 4 waitresses saw it and kept walking. The food was okay. I would give it a 4-5 stars. It was the service that was so awful. You guys have a great location. You just need better management to vet better staff. read more

I WANT THOSE CALORIES BACK! Is what we said upon leaving. Ok the thing is: this place LOOKS great for Sunday Funday. I mean I'm sure there's a 50-inch TV in the men's room so that you don't miss a beat of the action. But damn they need to give more of a shit in the kitchen. We ordered nachos on a Wednesday during trivia. They asked beef or chicken, and we went with chicken, thinking it'd be pulled and integrated. Basically what we got is if you under-microwaved tortilla chips and shredded cheddar and then haphazardly threw tomatoes and oversized diced (YES! DICED!) chicken atop. Note to self and all other selves out there: DO NOT GET NACHOS. But I'll def be back for Sunday football. Hopefully they can't mess up classics like wings or burgers. read more

All American Pub - Sad Nachos - New American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Brought my mom here on her recent visit to try the food. She loves bar food and wanted to ride the light rail so this was the perfect spot. Very accessible in the South End off light rail station at Bland. Not sure if there is parking around there or not but I would imagine it would be tight. We waited at the front to be sat outside. I read a sign that said "Please see bartender for seating", so I walked over to the bar. Within that time, a group walked in behind us and a server came out of nowhere and sat them first outside. I just rolled my eyes. She then came back and said she didn't have any clean tables outside, but then found one. It was a sunny but chilly day but was nice on the patio. I ordered a mimosa and my mother ordered the bloody Mary. Both on special on Saturdays and Sundays. Drinks came out quick but she seemed rushed. We ordered the nachos (mom wanted them, reviews said they were awful), buffalo quesadilla, and chilly cheese fries. They were delivered by another server or busser not long after ordering. Y'all, reviews are right, the nachos are bad. You would think they would fix the recipe after all the negative reviews. Big chunks of chicken just thrown on, very little tasteless cheese, a few jalapenos, some tomatoes on top of semi stale chips with salsa and sour cream. Just ick.....The quesadilla was the best out of all 3 apps. You could taste the buffalo sauce and it was generously stuffed with chicken, cheese, and lettuce with salsa and sour cream. Cheese fries were almost as bad as the nachos, the chili made them a little better. Still barely covered with chili and tasteless cheese (it's like the stuff I used to get at the Dollar Tree in college, tastes literally like nothing.) Server took forever to get back to us after food was dropped off, although it didn't seem to be busy. We finally go a second round of drinks and had our fill. Waited another long while for the check. I know this place is hit or miss. I will still be back as they have good drink specials and its a convenient spot. But they do need to improve some service and food quality issues. Maybe it will get better when sports season is in full swing! read more

The address of this place says a lot...Bland Street. We went for beer around 4 PM and sat on the patio. This seems to be a late night "bar" scene, or a dark place to watch a game on the many TVs, but during the day it is depressing. The "dining room" and patio smelled of stale cigarette smoke (yes, even outside). The music was loud and was a horrible mix for any time of day - seriously, we bounced non-stop from Kid Rock to Whitney Houston and the like. There was no one (hostess or otherwise) at the door, and one guy even walked away after no one greeted him, so we had to ask the only bartender where we could sit. The service was slow. We were so disappointed that we left after 1/2 a beer and went to a very nearby brewery. We won't return. read more

I ordered the grilled salmon salad that had mixed greens, feta cheese, cucumber, tomatoes & candied walnuts with blue cheese dressing. The salmon wasn't dry & the waitress did not forget my request for an extra side of dressing. The salad was nicely portioned & great. I would order again. I enjoy All American Pub for their patio during the warmer times of the year for the purposes of the atmosphere & people watching. I went for dinner on a Saturday night, so a DJ was in the i sure playing music. Very pleasant waitress. read more

Really disappointed at the service the second we stepped on their premises. I'm a south end native and love to explore new spots but this IS NOT the spot to explore. The staff was extremely disrespectful; called the few friends with me b*tches who had NO interactions with this man. I was VERY caught off guard by this interaction. I understand staff can be under stress by management but this was not the appropriate way to handle it. The situation was so disturbing that I had to go next door. read more

It's conveniently located right off the Bland Street station of the light rail. They appear to have good drink specials but overall my Wednesday night dinner there fell short. The music is so loud you have to yell at the person sitting next to you. The wait staff wasn't friendly or welcoming. It is probably a great place to catch a game because of all the Tvs but I wouldn't expect much as far as service goes. I tried the Mac Daddy burger which was very dry even though I had it cooked medium rare. It was a unique flavor combination with the Mac and cheese and fried jalapeños on top. They have some unique burgers on the menu but I doubt that I will ever be back to give them a try. read more

Lazy Sunday afternoon, beautiful fall day, perfect to spend some time on a restaurant patio. I drove past the All American Pub, and immediately turned in and parked. They have a great deck area overlooking the light rail tracks and sidewalk. I went for the burger, and my awesome server Hillary recommended tater tots and a Mimosa ($2 special). She brought my drink quickly, and when my food arrived, I was overwhelmed! I don't think I've seen a more appealing burger anywhere! Charred, cheese dripping off of it, and glorious crispy bacon piled on. Wow! And it was super tasty! Big kudos to Hillary - she kept up with me, made sure I was enjoying my meal, and was always nearby in case I needed something. read more

My friends and I sat at the bar here and ordered drinks to watch a game. Even though it was $3 rail night, we were charged $10 a drink. Our bartender Destiny apparently used Tito's when we didn't ask for that, and we were charged regardless. The service was condescending and rude, and it left us feeling very uncomfortable. read more

Great service. Food not so. The chicken tenders had no flavor and left a bad taste in the mouth.

This is a really fun place for Sunday Funday. However!!!!! It gets extremely packed. I mean jam packed and crazy. We actually managed to find a table, which was a HUGE plus...because if not, I wouldn't have survived. They have $4 double mimosas on Sunday...yay! Ask for grenadine to give your mimosa a sweet finish. The drinks specials are great. The food is pretty overpriced...but whatever, I got the cheese sticks and paid $10 for three triangles....but they were tasty. The staff is nice and does a good job even on crazy Sundays. I would go back to hang out and watch football for sure. read more

2 stars because the staff is great!! The food was DISGUSTING!!!!! Do not come to eat!! The drinks are fine and so is the atmosphere.

As a regular at this establishment I must say there are reasons for it .. my buddies & I rally there mostly on NFL Sundays for some beer consumption & camaraderie. Our server on most of those Sundays is named Kristen. I must give her props as her service industry game never disappointments. Always smiling .. always checking up on us to make sure everything's good .. always in constant motion. All of us really appreciate her efforts in making our visits to AAP enjoyable. Cheers! read more

All American. You don't deserve to have America in your name. We ordered wine and nachos. I'll take the blame for the wine. No one should ever order wine at a sports bar, however that's all I wanted and this is where we ended up. Nachos- nachos topped with cubed chicken, funky "cheese" and chopped tomatoes does not equal nachos. Nachos, a sports bar classic. I can't be at fault for ordering those! What is the health score here? Could not get that question out of my head. I don't know what I'm more upset about. Questioning if I'll get sick tonight based on my order, or the great possibility of my husband making me go to this place again once football season starts. If that happens, I'll just do a liquid diet- Truly. read more

One of the most reliable places to go watch sports they have enough TVs that you can be almost assured you will be able to watch what you want. The food has been inconsistent over the years and I was very sad to see the buffalo chicken dip go as it was my favorite menu item. Still the atmosphere here is great for sports fans especially on college football Saturdays and NFL Sundays. They have a large patio and one of the best mimosa specials in town ($2.00 or $4.00 doubles last I was there!). read more

We found this place by complete accident. Thought we were in the Taco joint! Had a look at the menu and realized we were in the wrong place, but decided to stay. We went at an off time, so the place was pretty vacant. They have outside seating overlooking the light rail, so that's nice. Inside there are TVs everywhere, most with sports. Not my jam, but I realize it's a pub. I had the fish sandwich. The fish was large and perfectly cooked. Crispy and flaky. The fun was only toasted on one side, and cold on the other. I wish they'd have heated the bun. I had my fries loaded and the cheese sauce was plentiful, and creamy. I think I'd have preferred melted cheese, but it was still good. Service was perfect and everyone was very friendly. It was also clean and the temperature of the restaurant was just fine. read more
