Sliders with caramelized onion and cheese
Mark M.

Near gate 7 in the C section found this cool spot for burgers. This place looked inviting and was very full. That is always a good sign. The place has TVs with sports on and beers on draft at the bar. My wife and I split the 3 sliders and an order of fries. Both were great and plenty enough for 2 to share. The service was fast but not to fast. Like it all.

Breakfast burger no egg. Meh.

Flight delays left me in Charlotte for an extended period of time and since I've been traveling since early in the morning, I needed to eat but didn't want to go far from my gate. Bad Daddy's Burger Bar was one of the closest so that's where I headed. When I checked the hours online, it said it was closed until 11 so when I saw it was open I was surprised. Anyway, I sat at the bar and ordered a glass of wine. Of course it was very expensive but it's a captive audience and I'm sure rent is a premium. Looking at the menu and it was a bunch of egg dishes, which I wasn't in the mood for. To be honest, I'd rather have a salad or chicken but it was too early for lunch so I ordered the breakfast burger with no egg, so essentially a bacon cheeseburger. It was okay. I ate less than half of it. It was kind of dry and I wasn't feeling the breakfast potatoes. Wish I had waited to get something for lunch, which I would've had time for since my flight was delayed again.

Located in Concorse C. Condensed menu consisted of only 2 Giant salads to choose from and burgers, sandwiches, apps and sides. Everything tasted delicious. Very few seating options so there will be a wait time. Un less you have hours before a flight, I wouldn't recommend this as a quick bite to eat place. Our server was friendly and efficient. As best as you could get located inside the airport.

Chicken tenders
Katy C.

We had about an hour to grab a bite to eat before flying out of CLT and this spot was near our gate. I tried to order on the QR code at our table, but it wouldn't let me. (We were able to cash out using that QR code, though.) Luckily our food came out quickly and we had enough time. They do have a takeout window as well. This place obviously specializes in burgers, but I was craving some chicken tenders. Nate got the mushroom burger with tots. The chicken tenders came with fries, ranch, and their house sauce which tasted like a tangier Cane's sauce. The chicken tenders were just okay, maybe that's my fault for not ordering a burger at a burger place. The chicken itself was juicy and tender, but the tenders were incredibly greasy like their fryer wasn't hot enough. The fries were also not great - just didn't seem very fresh or fried enough. Luckily the ranch was the good ranch and I was able to take some of the greasy breading off the chicken. I had a few bites of Nate's burger, which was actually quite good. The mushrooms were tasty and the burger was juicy and cooked nicely. The tots were also a victim of the greasy fryer, just not the best. I wouldn't necessarily come back here, but it did the trick in a pinch.

Magic Mushroom (impossible) burger

One of a kind burger joint. The Magic Mushroom (impossible) burger with fries. Delish! Bad daddy sauce is perfect to dip burger or fries. The poblano frites appetizer is amazing!! with its chipotle & jalapeño ranch sauces. Service is always great whether dining alone at the bar or meeting family/friends.

I stopped by here while leaving Charlotte for a work trip. Bad Daddy's is a good choice in the city so I figured it would be good in the airport. I was getting breakfast so I was a little worried. BUT, the food was actually pretty good. I got french toast and bacon. It did the trick and I was happy with my choice. Friendly service and didn't take long at all. I took my order to go and ate at my gate but they provided all the tools and utensils I needed. Great airport bite for sure.

Sweet potato fries
Jessica A.

Quick stop en route to my gate, I ordered a vanilla milkshake, but they were out of all milkshakes. So I opted for the sweet potato fries. Menu said they came with blue cheese crumbled, but all I got was plain sweet potato fries and the dipping sauce. Very overpriced for what it was. Service was fast. Fries were good, but not what I expected.

Stopped in at Bad Daddy's Burger Bar during a layover in Charlotte and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the All-American Burger meal, came out fresh, hot, and delicious. Service was friendly and quick. Great spot for a bite between flights!

mushroom burger with tots to go
Courtney C.

First off, you're at an airport so you have to have airport expectations- but honestly this place is a great airport option- everything seemed very fresh and homemade- kids loved the tater tots. It was evident that they make their own sauces which is great- i also appreciated the paper containers instead of plastic and that includes the sauce on the side containers which is great. I would definitely recommend this place! i mean it's pricy but like i said its airport food so what do you expect?? the staff were very kind and helpful. It looks like it has a nice ambiance too- definitely seems like the best option if in terminal c!

Expensive chicken ceasar for just 10 pieces of chicken it is $17
Teresa A.

Look I get airport food is quite expensive yet how come my chicken Cesar salad is super sad in comparison to other chicken ceasar salads posted? Absolutely not. For $17 you can ger 10 small pieces of chicken. Yayyy.... *insert sarcasm* The wait time wasn't too bad as I had time between flights. 20 minutes but I would have to say no. Do not recommend. I got mine to go but I guess if you sit down you will get a bigger more fuller portion? Also how come there wasn't a lid on the dressing? What if I had packed it in my bag and it got all tossed around. The dressing would've gotten everywhere if I wasn't going to eat it right away.

Michael R.

Best meal ever in an airport! And we travel 3-5 times a year. The burgers were cooked perfectly, juicy, big and delicious came with tater tot's also awesome, crispy and so many I probably should have left some but I didn't! Very friendly service! We stop in Charlotte airport a lot and will definitely return to Bad Daddy's!!!

Sabra R.

Had 2 1/2 hrs before flight and were starving! Got a table immediately, placed our orders and received our drink in 5 minutes! Our order took about 30 minutes but the burgers came out hot and juicy with great toppings. I had the magic mushroom and my husband the bacon burger that had more than 6 pieces of bacon! A ton of tater tots surrounded our burgers that were fresh and crispy. We even got a refill on our sodas. Probably one of the best airport meals I've had!

Downtown Belmont is buzzing ya'll! Check it out!

Ella not only reached out to confirm our reservation and discuss dietary restrictions, she even created the cutest card as a surprise for Hubs. They go all out to give you the best experience possible. We had the theme Home which celebrates various pieces of NC. As someone raised in Charlotte since the 80's, the theme hit Home for me. The food - amazing! Each dish that came out was delicious. And it kept coming out nonstop. Can you say foodie heaven?!?! My fave dish is the fried catfish with peanut butter sauce. Actually, my fave is the Brunswick stew with cornbread. Or the chips and dip. Scratch that, I love them all!!! Customer service - pick a positive adjective and insert it here. I said what I said - THEY DO NOT MISS! I can't really describe it in words that would do it justice. Even the pics don't do it justice. It's something you have to experience for yourself, at least once. Highly recommend!

How I Became a "Regular" - The Michelin Chapter…read more The Prophecy Fulfilled In my second review, I wrote that Counter "richly deserves" a Michelin star. On my 30th visit in November 2025, I got to see that actually happen. What started as a serendipitous discovery has turned into a front-row seat to Charlotte's first Michelin-starred restaurant. The Experience - Validated The core of Counter hasn't changed. It's still a tightly choreographed, multi-sensory experience where the food, visuals, and soundtrack are all working together instead of living in separate lanes. The Michelin star just makes official what regulars have known for a long time: Chef Sam Hart didn't just bring tasting-menu fine dining to Charlotte, he made it his own. The Home menu, landing right as the star was announced, felt like a culmination. You can taste the evolution: the playful nostalgia of "Drive Thru," the cinematic fun of "Tarantino Tribute," and that "White Cake" that, for me, was quintessential Counter. That season finale of "Home" service was the perfect way to step into the Michelin era. This wasn't a restaurant suddenly becoming "star-worthy"; it was the guide finally catching up. Why I Keep Going Back - And Why You Should Go At Least Once I've dined at over 13+ Michelin-starred restaurants around the world. Counter now sits comfortably in that group--not as a newcomer trying to prove itself, but as an essential experience if you care about food and storytelling. Sam's sui generis approach, his attention to the tiny details, and his willingness to take real creative risks are what keep me coming back. At 30 meals deep, I'm still not done--and if you haven't been yet, you should probably fix that.

If you're looking for a spot in Charlotte that actually delivers on flavor and vibe, State of…read moreConfusion is one that lives up to the hype. The menu leans Latin-American with some Southern influence, and you can tell there's real intention behind the food--not just trendy plating. A few dishes that really stand out: * CrispyPan Seared Chicken - super clean execution, great char, and balanced with bright, fresh flavors. It's simple but done right. * Fried Beef Tacos - easily a must-order. Crispy, rich, and layered with acidity so it doesn't feel heavy. * Ceviche - fresh, citrusy, and well-seasoned. You can tell they're not cutting corners here. * Street Corn (Elote) - bold, messy, and exactly what you want it to be. * Gator Bites - crispy on the outside, tender inside, and packed with flavor. Fun dish that's actually executed well--not just a gimmick. The atmosphere is just as strong as the food--high energy, great patio, and a space that feels alive without being overwhelming. It's the kind of place you can take a team, a date, or just roll in after work and still feel like you made the right call. Service is typically on point too--friendly, quick, and they keep things moving even when it's busy, which matters. Only thing that throws people off sometimes is parking, but don't let that stop you: There is parking behind the restaurant if the main lot is full. Overall, this is one of those spots that hits consistently--good food, strong execution, and a vibe that keeps people coming back.

We had reservations but it wasn't overly busy so I don't think they were necessary for that day and time but I would definitely recommend on busier times. I love the fact that this is more of a tapas style restaurant so you can order and taste a ton of options. Plates are generally around $14-22 per plate and they have enough for three or four (tapas style). We started with crab dip and oysters on the half shell (raw). The crab dip was rich and creamy and served with buttered crusty, buttered bread. The oysters were amazing too but a little nuance about these: they are listed by region (e.g. West Coast, Mid-Atlantic, etc.) and not listed as they type of oyster. Oysters vary greatly within a single region so I would encourage you to ask what specific oysters they serve for each region (they will look it up and tell you) to make sure you know what you are getting. We also ordered the calamari, small salad (unlisted option for the salad listed on the menu) and poke bowl to share. We went in hungry and probably ordered too much because this was all to start off. Everything was really good and worth ordering. For my "entree" or ordered the trout which comes with lentils and broccolini. This dish was fantastic and highly recommended. The trout was perfectly cooked and delicious. Our waitress, Tiffany, was amazing and did a great job. Additionally, this is the perfect spot for a "dinner and a show" since it is right beside the Knight theater. Parking is easily accessible at the Green Garage right across the street.

This restaurant is very nicely designed. It's visually appealing with tables indoors, a bar area, and an outside dining area. The hostess and my server were professional and extremely nice and made my dining experience very pleasant. The reason I am giving three stars instead of four or more comes down to value. Seafood is expensive, I get that. But I don't know that there's much value to be had here. Portion sizes are small relative to what you're paying for. And in my opinion, while the freshness and the quality of the seafood may be there, the flavor is not. I have no doubt that the quality of the seafood here is good. But I did not enjoy anything I ordered. I wasn't put off by the food, but I wish I had wanted to savor each bit. I ordered the cajun grilled oysters and the miso sablefish. I thought both were too salty and despite paying over $40 for the meal, I left still a bit hungry.
