Bacon cheese burger, add chili with Mayo, mustard and onions!
Courtney S.

Still love this place. The best classic Carolina burger ever. Their chili truly makes it. They also have good breakfast sandwiches as well. Make sure you bring cash because it is cash-only. They have an ATM but you'll be charged a processing fee. Definitely one of the last Charlotte classics in town and I will be devastated when they leave us.

Aesthetic: Old school, no frills burger and hot dog post with a small menu full of classics. My Favorites: The chili dog with a cheer wine. Experience: This is one of those classic Charlotte staples that can't be missed. Both the burger and hot dog are delicious, and the chili makes them even better for me. I'm more of a chili dog person, and my husband enjoys the burgers here. The workers have been friendly when we've stopped by. I wish it wasn't cash only because I rarely carry cash, but they do have an ATM on site. I wish their hours were a bit later or on weekends, I feel like they'd be very busy if they catered to the later crowd as well. I'd recommend trying Brooks if you're looking for a solid classic hot dog or burger at a good price point.

Single hamburger, all the way

One of my favorite spots for a quick lunch. Classic Charlotte, no frills, just good food and friendly staff. Always get the burger, all the way with fries. Usually not a wedge fry fan, but these are great. Hits the spot every time. Support local.

Where do I begin? This place has been on my list for years! It is a Charlotte institution that I fear may go the way of Zack's and Green's. The place is family owned with great service that is fast too. The burger I got was so so good. One of the best I have ever had, it's so easy to see why this place has been so popular for so long! Get there if you haven't before, it's worth it, especially to support a family business.

First time to visit the Brooks Sandwich House, found it on Yelp as we were close to Noda, as a family member is patronizing a local tattoo parlor this afternoon. They have been in business since 1973 and proclai they have the world's greatest burger. We met a man in line who saw we were from Kansas, and said this is a lot like Cozy Burgers in Salina, in terms of food, quality, and tradition. I went with the single cheeseburger "all the way," which includes mustard, onions, and chili. It definitely was delicious and I loved the kick in the chili. Next time, however, I will get a double cheeseburger for a little more quantity. Dad went with the fried bologna sandwich with cheese and mustard, and said it was delicious. We shared some fries, they were good, but not as remarkable as the cheeseburger. Definitely a noted Charlotte local spot famous for good reasons. Make sure you have cash, they do have an ATM literally right next to the cash register window, however, if you forget.

Best burger I've ever had. I got it all the way without jalapeño's. The chili is not the typical chili I've had but it was very flavorful. The burger tasted flame grilled and the chili did not take away from the burger or give it too much of a meaty taste, it was well balanced and amazing. The chili cheese fries were also top tier, you have to mix the ingredients to really get all the flavors, they're more like potato wedges than fries. Not one fry was dry and not smothered by cheese. Service was fast and food was ready in less than 10 minutes. It's a small building with a table on the side to help you enjoy the food fresh. My burger looked a little sloppy but it was full of flavor. I'm honestly upset that it took me this long to try this place. Everyone should try it.

MAN YES! CASH ONLY! But they do have an ATM! A must TRY, if you like burgers, it's iconic old school burger joint!!!! And pickles are delicious!!! Order outside and pickup outside!!! Quick, friendly Service! They will not make your call in order ahead of time but if you call you can automatically skip the order window! Hopefully Charlotte doesn't bulldoze this down like all other old school staple restaurants in Charlotte to put up another apartment building! Hours are limited that's why unfortunately this was my first time there!

Piping hot fries

This place been bookmarked for a long time. Finally today I have a little bit of time to go.. Opened since 1973, cash only and a hold in the wall. Their menu are simple.. Yet they are good at what they do. I ordered the cheeseburger with a slice of fried bologna. Yes, I'm asking for a heart attack. But I can't be more happy. Juicy and nicely cooked. They fries come piping hot. So do be careful. I called my order in. Which takes about 15 mins. There's only outdoor standing room to eat.. So don't expect to get anything fancy. What you see and what you get. Their staffs are wonderful. I couldn't ask for anything better.

Chili Cheese Fries
Audrey U.

CASH ONLY but they have an ATM. The line can be long, but the food comes out quickly. You can add free toppings on your burger, which is a huge plus in my book. The chili cheese fries were great, but I couldn't finish them all alone. Support local and try Brooks! No frills shop and great lunch.

Do they steam their hotdog buns? If not, is there an option to have the buns steamed. I'm from upstate SC where it used to be a standard. I have never been able to get a hotdog with steamed buns since moving to Charlotte in 1996. I ❤️ hotdogs!

Yes all buns are steamed.

Are the hot dogs beef?

Yes! All beef!

Great Food, Great Service, and a Wonderful Vibe!…read more My wife, a friend, and I had a great dinner here! We had a wonderful time, enjoyed the atmosphere, and received good service throughout our visit. The food was delicious! We ordered the Deli Stackhouse, deviled eggs, sweet potato fries, a grilled chicken burger with regular fries, and sweet teas. Everything was tasty, and we all enjoyed our meals. The restaurant had a great vibe, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a relaxed dinner with friends and family. The only minor downside was a bit of a carpet smell, but it wasn't too bad and didn't take away much from the overall experience. Overall, we had a fantastic time, enjoyed great food and good service, and would definitely recommend Bad Daddy's. 100% recommended!* We'd happily come back again!

Everything was spot on!! Service was impeccable. April was professional and affable! Food came out…read morefresh and hot and was delicious! I ordered the Bistro burger with a Turkey patty and added smashed avocado in place of the avocado crema. My patty was juicy and well seasoned. I loved the grilled onions and fresh arugula that came on it! I also loved that my tater tots were crispy but not over cooked! Everything was just delicious! My son did a create your own burger with 2 angus beef patties, fried mozzarella patty, garlic mayo, and pesto on a Brioche bun!! It was massive and he was in hamburger heaven!!! The parking lot is small but I'd pay for parking if I had to! The place is not big but they do have a nice size outdoor patio area! It is very casual and clean! It also wasn't too loud! All in all, I'm glad we visited!!!
