A Little Taste of Chicago tops it with provolone cheese and hot giardiniera peppers, which is what I usually get in Chicago. I was ready to dig in. I was devastated. The quality of the beef was the greatest disappointment. It was dry and sort of crumbly? What's worse, it had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. I mean there was absolutely no seasoning, which is shocking for what is usually a very zesty sandwich. The only taste was from the melted cheese and giardiniera. Moreover, it was served on something like a hotdog bun instead of a proper French bread roll so it got mushy very fast. I've had frozen Italian beef kits that you can get near Chicago or even shipped nationwide (Portillo's) that were way, way better than this. This sandwich, small side of fries, bottle of water = $22. Never again.

I forgot the exact price, but it was all very reasonable... You order at the counter, they get your food to you quickly, they seemed to be very to see everyone. It's all very basic... The parking lot is not paved, they've got outdoor tables and counters you can stand at... everything looks like it's been there for a while, but it works perfect perfectly. The food was about as good as it gets, juicy burger, beefy tasting hotdog, crispy fries ...if I lived closer, I'd probably be going there at least once a week... I might be one of the last people in Charlotte that hadn't tried it... But I'm glad I did, if there are some of you out there that haven't been there yet, make the trip, it's absolutely worth it.

I expressed my concern for my safety due to so many homeless standing around their restaurant loitering. They delivered my order to my car in the parking lot. They explained they have called police and the city but were told they would not help them, so they plan to move to Fort Mill. I totally agree with them that our city does not support businesses to keep vagrancy out in order to ensure customers are safe. The local grocery store Food Lion in my neighborhood is having exactly the same problem. The City of Charlotte is not helping them either and they are being overrun with homeless people standing around the building. I plan to call Chubz ahead and see if they will deliver my order to my car from now on. They have great food and it's entirely the city's fault for not enforcing the law and making this area safe. They will be at this location for a few more months.

However, when I visited the restaurant, I was disappointed to learn that they do not serve turkey burgers. I believe Yelp should encourage restaurants to regularly review and update their menus and food offerings to ensure customers receive accurate information. It's frustrating to make a trip to a restaurant based on search results, only to discover that the item you were looking for isn't available. Accurate and up-to-date information would make Yelp a much more reliable resource and help customers avoid unnecessary trips and disappointment.

They both were tasty. The hot dog was big and juicy and well dressed. They air fry all their traditionally fried. That's probably my only complaint. I prefer fried food to be fried in oil, but that's my preference. We also tried the brisket and pulled chicken (sorry I forgot to take a picture). They were also good. Everything was served hot and fresh. I'm a condiment girl and they have five bbq sauces: Original, Mississippi, Kansas, Memphis, and Sweet and Tangy. We actually liked all of them between the two of us. Here are a few more highlights and reasons for you to stop in and check them out. 1. Plenty of parking including a ramp for accessibility. 2. They have Ax Throwing. It's not traditional axe throwing, they use a screen. They also have other fun games including Tic-Tac-Toe and a Candy Crush like game. It's also affordable. It was $10 per person/hr. We stopped in on a Monday afternoon before 5:00pm. 3. They have a few fun things on their menu including corn nuggets, fried pickles, pineapple upside down cake, and a sampler where you can try a little bit of everything. 4. The staff (Ron and Shawn) was very friendly and thoroughly explained the menu. They also chatted with us since they were not too busy and made sure we had all we needed to enjoy our meal. 5. They have over 20 taps with a variety of beer. They also have beer specials during football season. Stop in and visit Crave for a taste of Carolina and a little family fun.
