I'll start with the positives... Really nice girl who took my order. Explained the menu…read more Said fries were included with the burger, and then proceeded to add them on which added $2.50 to the total....okay.... Asked for it protein style (wrapped in lettuce - no bun) and saw when I got home how mildewy and old the lettuce was.... INEDIBLE. That + on top of just not having great flavor....is a miss for me. There are many other, better burger spots in the city.

Best burger I've ever had--and I'm 51, so I've had quite a few over the years…read more Every detail was outstanding, from the perfectly cooked burger and incredibly soft, pillow-like bun to the quality paper they wrapped everything in. You can tell the people here really care about getting it right. My daughter and I stopped in before seeing Kacey Musgraves on Friday night, and it couldn't have been a better start to our evening. The service was warm and friendly, and even the dark cherry soda was incredible (I almost never drink soda, so that's saying something!). I'll be uploading a few photos because this place deserves them. Thanks to everyone involved for making our father-daughter night so memorable. We'll definitely be back.

As a West Coast transplant now living in Charlotte, I have very specific standards when it comes to…read moreburgers. For me, the gold standard isn't fancy -- it's balance. Think that perfect meat-cheese-bread ratio you get at an In-N-Out: not too big, not too messy, not dripping everywhere, but still juicy and satisfying. A burger you can actually pick up and enjoy without resorting to a knife and fork like George Costanza. That's why I appreciate Ace No. 3. Their menu is refreshingly simple -- burgers, fries, shakes -- and that simplicity tells me they know exactly what they do well. Everything is made to order, and the consistency shows. The Ace burger is my go-to, and it delivers every time. The shoestring fries are excellent, and the sweet potato tots are another favorite. I've also treated myself to a milkshake here and there, and they're worth it. Fun bonus: they offer "boozy shakes" for adults, which adds a playful twist -- just note they have to be enjoyed on site. They also keep a short, rotating list of beers, which I appreciate. It's curated, not overwhelming. One thing I noticed recently -- and as a fellow marketer, I have to applaud this -- is their milkshake happy hour from 2-4 PM. That's a smart strategy to drive traffic during slower hours between lunch and dinner. Simple, effective, and well executed. A few practical notes: Parking can be a little tight because the lot behind the restaurant is small, but if you go during off-peak hours or order ahead for pickup, it's manageable. The Belmont neighborhood location is easy to get in and out of, and while it's not a high-traffic pedestrian area, that can actually work in your favor. Bottom line: As someone who grew up with West Coast burger culture, this is the closest I've found in Charlotte to that classic, satisfying bite -- even if it costs a bit more than In-N-Out. The quality and execution make it worth it. Get out there, eat well, be curious -- and follow me as I continue eating my way through Charlotte.

Do not order the Jaws Blackened Fish Sandwich. It has completely changed and is no longer the same…read moresandwich it used to be. The fish was thin, small, and severely overcooked. It did not appear fresh and looked more like a precooked salmon patty with fake grill marks. In the past, the sandwich had real char from the grill, blackening seasoning, and a strong grilled aroma and flavor. This one had none of that. It was a sad, dry, completely inedible meal. I have ordered this sandwich regularly for the past couple of years, but I will not be purchasing it again. It is absolutely not worth the cost for what now appears to be a precooked, fake-grilled piece of fish. You have been warned.

The burger came out overly done and was paper thin. Honestly a McDonald's burger looked more appetizing. My salad was great, but the waitress got my protein wrong, and some of my salad add-ons. The order is personalized on a build your own salad pad, so I don't know how she messed it up. Additionally she missed our only side of tots. We waited 15 minutes with no urgency on getting my right protein and the side of tots. Walked in and all the waitresses were on their phones in an empty booth. It's a shame because I would normally rate this place at least 4/5 stars.
