    Left over macaroni salad and potato salad! Let's have a picnic y'all!
    Lori H.

    I love Chicken King y'all! No matter what the craving today is, they got you!I ordered a chicken wing dinner with potato salad and Mac salad and I've got food for days!

    Fried Fish and Shrimp Plate

    NASTY! I ordered the fish and shrimp combo and it was disgusting. The fries had no taste, the flounder wasn't done and the shrimp tasted of they were freezer burnt and then fried. I will not recommend this place to anyone.

    I was running around and before I head home I wanted to stop by somewhere and grab something to eat. As I was searching around I stumble across the Chicken King in Mount Holly. I've always heard of the Chicken King but never ate there and this was my first time going. Once I entered I could tell that this was a popular restaurant because the phone didn't stop ringing the whole time I was there and I consider this a great thing. The menu was expansive but I settled on the catfish and shrimp plate which includes French fries and I ordered an additional side of potatoe salad. I got home and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of small shrimp that I received. The catfish was cooked perfectly and the shrimp was delicious. I loved the amount of potatoe salad that I got and it was good also. I'm glad I stopped by here and I'm going to make this apart of my regular spots to go to.

    This was my third time ordering take out from chicken king and each time is always so pleasant! The ladies at the front on 4/24 were SO nice and personable! Everything was made fresh and so delicious! All the food we have ordered has been amazing! Highly recommend this location specially for the great service and food! Such a wide variety on the menu too.

    Grilled Chicken Greek Salad

    I have been to the Chicken KING, restaurant, numerous times, and I am rarely disappointed. Today, I have one of my favorite menu items, Greek grilled chicken salad! They give you a generous amount and it is very fresh. The black olives are not too salty, I love the onions, bell peppers, and cucumbers, etc, that topped the salad. If you try it, I promise you won't be disappointed!

    Fried chicken and fried okra are once a month favorites. Reuben sandwich is surprisingly good.

    I'm not sure why the low rating, decently fast service while ordering inside, only took about five…read moreminutes. Burger was pretty large, similar to a Whopper in size. Tasted good and the fries were very much like McDonald's. Would stop again!

    Went here around 9:40 pm on Saturday, there were two drive thru lanes. The first one we were in,…read moretwo cars were in front of us; the car at the ordering board was just sitting there not ordering / saying anything for like 10 mins, so we decided to go into the other drive thru lane. Mind you, two other cars had ordered and moved to the window from the second lane before we moved over into it. Once we got into the second lane, nothing was said to us at all. Instead, now someone was taking the car sitting in the first lanes order and we sat in the second lane, in silence, for another 10 mins. We ultimately decided to just pull up to the window and tell them our orders and let them know that no one serviced us at all in the second lane. The employee claimed that she was saying "hello" the whole time as if we were ignoring her, but there was literally no sound come from the ordering board speaker at all! After we place our order at the pick up window, we were told to go park on the side of the building where we waited almost 30 mins! We went inside to check on our order status and learned that no one had fixed our order at all??? Once we did finally get our food, yes it was freshly made and hot, but I had no appetite for it at all anymore. Service was HORRIBLE! My overall rate of experience : 0/10

    Located inside the lively Optimist Hall, Harriet's Hamburgers is a great stop if you're craving a…read moresimple, well-executed smash burger. Optimist Hall itself is a very food-centric, upscale food hall with a ton of vendors, so the atmosphere is energetic and fun. Seating can be a little challenging during peak dinner hours since so many people are grabbing food from different spots, but when the weather is nice there's plenty of outdoor seating. Harriet's keeps their burger formula refreshingly simple. It's a classic smash burger done right--made to order with a straightforward menu that doesn't overcomplicate things. There's usually a line, but it moves pretty quickly, and the burgers come out hot and fresh. One of the best parts of eating here is the flexibility of the food hall experience. While you're waiting, you can grab a craft beer, a glass of wine, or even browse for dessert from one of the other vendors. Insider tip: Come with a group if you can. It's a great place to share fries and let everyone explore different vendors around the hall. Parking is fairly easy with the nearby garage, which makes the whole experience even more convenient. Overall, Harriet's is a fun, delicious stop for a smash burger, especially if you're already enjoying the energy of Optimist Hall.

    After seeing Harriet's Hamburgers all over TikTok being crowned "the best burger in Charlotte," I…read morehad to see what the hype was about. I live super close to Optimist Hall, so it's been on my radar for a while. This particular night I wasn't feeling great, so I DoorDashed instead of dining in. I ordered the Royale with crispy fries and let me just say... I get it. The burger was genuinely impressive. The quality of the beef stood out immediately. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The meat to bun ratio was spot on, which is crucial. Nothing worse than a bread heavy burger. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh, the build was balanced, and even after delivery, everything held up beautifully. So far I've tried two burger spots in Charlotte, and this one takes the top spot. I'm not ready to declare it the best in the entire city just yet because my burger tour is ongoing, but right now it's leading the race. I'll definitely be going to Optimist Hall soon to try it fresh off the grill and experience the service and atmosphere firsthand. Expect an update. But based on this first round alone, Harriet's is absolutely worth the order. Burger lovers, this one deserves a try.
