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.
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!
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.
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.
Reviews are largely positive. Many highlight the flavorful burgers and hot dogs, crispy potato wedge fries, and the classic no-frills atmosphere. Service is often friendly and fast.

100/10 this place was amazing!! Hot, delicious, fresh!! No long wait!! This place is cash only but there is a ATM on site. Everything was amazing and fresh. I got a single burger with ketchup, pickles, onions and chili no complaints; It was amazing. I'm actually kind of upset, I didn't know about this place earlier. The fries were hot and made fresh; It had seasoning on it and they were wedges so I loved them. They did forget to put ketchup on my burger but no biggy there were packs of ketchup in a bag so just added it myself. I did also get a sweet tea. Forgot to take a picture of it. Didn't really care for the tea it was not sweet at all, but the burger and fries made up for that so I could honestly do without the tea. We didn't have to wait long at all. There was a line but they moved very quickly. They're only open till like 3 PM. It's a little building that sits on the corner of the lot so there was ample amount of parking. I already can't wait to go back and try something different. Definitely give them a try. read more

No trip to Charlotte is complete without a stop at one of our favorite spots--Brooks' Sandwich House. There's a reason this place is a true Charlotte institution. I crave their chili dogs--fully loaded, of course. That famous chili recipe? Absolutely unmatched. Don't sleep on the crispy potato wedges either--they're the perfect sidekick. And if hot dogs aren't your thing, no worries--they also make a killer chili cheeseburger, or you can try their fried bologna or fish sandwich. It's a no-frills kind of place, and that's part of the charm. Grab your lunch and eat at the shaded stand-up area outside, or post up in your car for the full experience. Heads up--it's cash only, but don't worry, there's an ATM on-site if you need it. Everyone is always so nice and helpful as well! Simple, iconic, and always worth the stop. read more

If you're a huge fan of messy yet delicious and cheap hot dogs this is your place! These dogs are absolutely amazing! Staff was very friendly and food was served fast and hot. This is definitely a Charlotte gem, been a family run business for decades. The menu is simple, dogs and burgers and what not, but it's all great. They are known for their famous house made chili. Note that it's cash only, so don't come expecting to whip out the debit card. There is an atm on site but who wants to spend those atm fees, so take my advice and bring cash! You honestly can't go wrong here, they have a lot of free toppings to add so you can personalize whatever you opt to get. It's a must if you live here or visiting to try this place! As a Charlotte native I'm glad there is still an old school place to get yummy and decently priced food. read more

First time visitor and I am sold. The burger tasted great, and was not overflowed with toppings. The burger tastes similar to what you would make at your house on a grill, but much better. The patties were also fairly thick and decent sized. The fries were unique, and not something I usually like but with ranch they tasted good. Would definitely recommend and will get the bacon burger on the next go-round. read more

I could've swore I left a review here before I don't know why I can't find it. My cousin first brought me here years ago and when I tasted their burger it was so good. Now I've been coming here off and on for years but I was here the other day just to get one more burger in before they sell the place because it's up for sale so any day now it could be gone you never know. So I wanted to get my last burger back in before that happens because once they announce that it's gonna be crazy down there. I ordered a burger all the way no mustard and an order of fries. The bun on my burger was kinda stale so my burger was kinda blah but the fries were delicious I ate every single one of them. Kind of a bummer that my last burger there tasted that way but it is what it is. It's a staple in the community so if you get a chance to go, give them a try. I didn't take a pic of my food because they have enough pics of that. read more

This is going to be a short review because there isn't really much I can add that hasn't already been said. This place is somewhat legendary in Charlotte and many publications have rated it among the best burgers in the city. You can add me to the long list of fans singing it's praises these burgers are fantastic. read more

TLDR: Brooks Sandwich House delivers great burgers for a great price. If you consider the taste of their menu items and divide that by the price, you'll learn quickly that Brooks is one of the most valuable restaurants in Charlotte. I will echo what every other reviewer suggests, you should get the burger all the way. Well, really, get anything you want but be sure to get it all the way. read more
This Charlotte staple has been on my list for years and I finally checked it out! Very friendly staff and simple set up. It definitely looks like it's a piece of history. With so many of our staple businesses closing in the city I knew I needed to come try it out before it was too late. Although, I hope Brooks sticks around forever. The food was good, it's a very chill family owned spot. No frills and people love it! There were plenty of people lined up to get lunch the day I stopped by. I had a burger, hot dog and fries and ate right outside since it was a beautiful day. I'm so happy I got to try this spot! Classic burger joint and very affordable. read more
I finally tried the burger and fries at Brooks. I ordered the single cheeseburger all the way (topped with mustard, chili, and onions) and small fries. I expected to be wowed after everything I've heard about this place, but it was just ok. It's a good amount of food and a neat experience, so I recommend everyone coming at least once. They also have hot dogs and fried pies (store bought, not made in-house). It's cash only, but they have an atm inside in case you forget. read more

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.
