While in the Carolinas we made our way to Optimist Hall. As food halls go everyone splits and picks…read morewhatever delights their fancy and then reconvenes and enjoys. We were lucky to grab seating larger enough to accommodate our group right by the Poppycox suite/stall. While everyone wandered to grab food, I noticed the continual line and what I could only assume was their notable popularity and decided I will give Poppycox a try. I joined the line and perused the menu as this would be my first introduction to the brand and what they offered. When I made it to the front to place my order I was initially met with a welcoming "hello and what can I get you", that quickly turned sour. I guess because I wasn't a regular whom automatically knew what I wanted and I actually had questions. Me: I would like to try the Crazi Daddy Fries.... Can you please tell me what is "Comeback Sauce"? Employee: The sauce on the chicken. Me: Ok, I understand that but what kind of sauce is it exactly? Employee: Huh? Well I can't really tell you that. Me: You can't tell me what the sauce contains? I'm asking because I'm not a fan of some mayo based sauces... is it mayo based? **disregards my question and engages in a side convo with another employee and then walks off** 2nd Employee: Can I help you? Me: She couldn't tell me what's in the "comeback sauce" can I please taste it to make sure I'm ok with it? 2nd Employee: No I cannot allow you to taste the "comeback sauce" Me: Ok. To be clear she wouldn't tell me what the sauce is, and you're saying I can't taste it first before it's squeezed all over my order. This is my first time trying your food. 2nd Employee: Yes, that's correct. Me: Well can I have ranch instead? 2nd Employee: Ok, we charge for the sauce. Me: Ok well you can just put the comeback sauce on the side please incase I do not like it. 2nd Employee: There will be additional charge for the sauce on the side. Me: I'm not asking for additional sauce. I'm no longer asking for you to change the sauce. I'm simply asking for you not to put the sauce that I cannot try or know what it's made of on the side please. 2nd Employee: Yes. You will be charged for that. Me: Fine! At this point I'm convinced I must be on some hidden camera show because the amount of attitude and back & forth I'm getting over this "highly coveted comeback sauce" is mind-boggling. My order is placed and as I sit at our table and wait for my order. I'm looking for the camera crew. Welp turns out no crew, that was just the service. Overall the Crazi Daddy Fries were ok. They are very filling and larger enough to share especially if you would like try other food while at Optimist Hall. The Chopped Chicken- flavorful and juicy. Nicely seasoned and you can control your spice level. The Fries- not impressive, honestly kinda hard and dry. This would have been better and elevated with crinkle cut fries IMO. The Comeback Sauce- as I suspected not my thing. I enjoyed the ranch much better. Yes I was charged for both. (To be clear it was not the charge it was the whole interaction) The Service- Honestly sad. The attitudes were unnecessary, but more important the assumption that every customer is familiar with your product or what you offer is a disservice to both parties. Especially when questions are immediately dismissed or answered with frustration. Just A Note: -3% Surcharge for Credit Cards -My experience was extra spicy and I'm not talking about the chicken. So much so I forgot to snap a pic of the food because I was still taken aback.

Wow! The reviews…read moremade me do it and I'm so glad I did! We stopped in during the FIFA championship game and had the most delicious Smashburger and fries while watching Spain win! Inside the building you order at the counter for any of the restaurants advertised on the exterior of the building which includes this one. In contrast to other reviews, yes, there are drinks on site available. It's just a separate order. Beers, sodas, water, etc., all available. The burger? We both got the Slowpoke smashee. Double burger with cheese and the slightly perfectly crunchy edges of beef, pickles that zing, a sauce that just makes it all MELT in your mouth, and the fries which are literally the PERFECT crisp! On man! They are seasoned well, and fried perfectly. The burger was a bit greasy as expected and the perfect blend of seasoned beef, toasted brioche bun, sautéed onions that are delicious and perfectly sautéed, and that melted real cheese and sauce. It was so good my boyfriend ate his and ordered another one of course he had a stomach ache after, but yes, he devoured two doubles. It was that tasty. My pictures do it absolutely no justice because we dove in before I took them so they look a mess. It came looking much better than these photos of burgers we had already tore into from the excitement from reading the reviews. Service was great at the counter. Friendly. Your food gets brought out to you. The seating area is comfortable and casual and even includes some couches and several TVs. Perfect place to watch the game.

Awkward for the uninitiated, but no problem going forward. Food was excellent. Ordered a Slow Poke Smashy double smashburger with fries. Nice crusty crisp on the burger, tangy pickles and sauce, and gooey cheese. A winner in my book. Mmmmm. On our visit their order site was not up to date and so all the chicken offerings were not available. Weird so I brought it to their attention and they quickly corrected it although too late for us. Bummer. Next time in Concord give this place a whirl.

The sugar daddy slider is basically a kings Hawaiian roll with a spoonful of pimento and a third of a piece of bacon. Not very filling. They're version of a jalapeño popper was good, but again, it was just three balls. For what it's worth, I'd be willing to try something like the loaded fries to see if that is more worth the price, because again, it was good food.

Come out and support these good people so we can keep this cool option around long term in Harrisburg.

Got to meet one half of the husband wife team who are the owners. Great learning their story. Unfortunately I rarely eat meat so I didn't try a dog but mom had a chili cheese and a scoop of butter pecan ice cream. She enjoyed both. They have quite a few flavors of ice cream. Dirty sodas. No really that's the name I will say there were several signs up for different specials and that was a bit confusing but the owner highlighted the $3 dog special. Any dog for $3 so I also grabbed one to go for my son. I know for sure this is my mom's new spot for ice cream. There's a patio with seating for about 20 and you can reserve it. Go check these folks out and take the family!

I was genuinely blown away by Uncle's at Burial. The fact that some of the best food in Charlotte…read moreis coming from a food trailer behind a brewery is almost hard to believe until you eat it. The cabbage dish is incredible, packed with flavor and easily one of the best vegetable preparations I've had in a long time. The shrimp fritters are perfectly cooked, crisp and loaded with flavor. The chicken thighs are downright addictive. The biggest surprise for me, though, was the hamachi. Exceptionally fresh, clean, and prepared with the kind of precision you'd expect from a high-end restaurant. What stands out most is that this isn't elevated food pretending to be chef-driven, it very clearly is chef-driven. Every dish feels intentional and expertly executed. This is one of those places where, after your first meal, you're immediately rooting for their success. If you're in Charlotte, make the trip to Uncle's at Burial. It's one of the best meals I've had in the city.

Arguably the best and most creative food in Charlotte. Menu changes often as it should, but…read moreeverybody needs to check this place out. It's out back of burial, they are taking a chance I hope it pays off. But nothing wrong with having some of the best beers in Charlotte out front. I've been following their menu for a while, sooooo many things I've want led to try. Tonight we got the charred cabbage dressed in an Asian style lightly vinegar based sauced. The only thing I'd only give a 9 out of 10 on, could have more char. It was still really good!!!! Every single other bite was absolutely amazing. The tom yum/kha ketchup alone was a game changer with the potato wedges. The beef dog with fried shallots and sweet Thai dipping sauce was spot on. Everything is extremely well balanced and thought out. Seriously, I may still stand by the best bite of food in Charlotte is the tableside torched scallop at Yunta, but these guys are crushing everything they do. I want to start a group where we order it all every time the meu changes.

There's nothing better than eating your meal and knowing that your food is coming from a fresh local source.

#1 Food truck in Charlotte!…read more Service & quality of food on the menu a strong 8.7 out of 10. This is a safe space right? "We listen & we don't judge..." What if I told you I made two separate transactions in one day hours apart & had 3 items off their menu. Oh okay , well I did & no regrets! It's an Asian & Mexican infused culinary masterpiece within its own rights compared to street food , food trucks, heck even the non mobile restaurants in the area. If they had a store front I imagine it would stay busy. Remember, we listen & we don't judge. Well when I scoffed my food down I forgot to take quality food pictures. However , I had the Birra (beef & chicken tacos) & beef ramen. The birra food items come with some sort of avocado aïoli/puree , jalapeños & beef broth soup cup to dip your 3 tacos in. 10 out of 10 recommended! Did I mention the service has just as much quality as the food. They were informative, kind & helpful. I will definitely be back at this food truck. Even though I mentioned a limited number of items on the food menu, shrimp Birra also has an appearance, corn dogs not your typical kind either, & loaded fries. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed ramen or Birra in this way . Thank you for the experiences!

Process is, order at the passenger door, wait to hear your name called out on the speaker, then pick up at window. I ordered their Korean Corn Dogs (all beef), and it did not disappoint! For my experience, the coating was very flavorful, and a generous batter. I was lucky enough to get one of each flavor (potato, hot cheeto, and the og) after them making one too many! My husband couldn't decide what was his favorite was, and I had a very slight preference to the Hot Cheeto one (but they were all great!). I can't wait to see you at the next place!
