It was clean and there was plenty of room for families. There were about a dozen food stalls here with food choices thatbspan the Asian world. You want Lao food? You got it! Filipino food? Of course! Sushi? Chinese noodles? Chinese BBQ? KOREAN? Yup you can have it all! My wife and I tried food from three stalls and I'm not going to lie, there was not one disappointing bite. A lot of thr stalls have self-service kiosks too, so ordering is easy if you need pictures. The only small gripe is that everything is a tad on the expensive side for asian food. Is it worth it? For the selection and convenience... yes, totally.

The service is always quick and all operate similarly with giving you a device that will ring and vibrate when your food is ready for pick up- rather that is to go or to eat in. The ambience is very cool surrounded by art in the walls and decor that feels like you are outside in a food fair. My daughter and I live coming here ordering 3 different things and having that be our weekend meals. Also it's great that is adjacent to an international supermarket that you can do some shopping.

Recommend stopping in here.

I wrote a separate review for that one, which was out of your mind amazing, and when I come back, there are so many other places I have to try. There's an Italian place that makes noodles from scratch every day, so that's my goal for the next visit. My husband had a Cuban sandwich, and he said that was the best he's ever had. Everywhere there was great, comfortable seating with beautiful hanging boho plants that just gave a nice natural and calm touch to the environment.

Review for Optimist Hall…read more As a foodie who relocated to Charlotte from the San Francisco Bay Area, I naturally compare food halls to the iconic Ferry Building Marketplace. Optimist Hall reminds me of it -- it definitely aspires to that kind of destination experience -- but it's not quite in the same league. That said, it's still one of Charlotte's most vibrant and enjoyable places to gather and eat. This is an upscale food hall with a wide variety of options -- beer, wine, cocktails, global cuisines, retail, and plenty of energy. I've tried many of the stalls, and the diversity is impressive. There's truly something for everyone, which makes it a great place to visit with friends or family. Parking is generally easy, and the space is clean, modern, and aesthetically pleasing. The bathrooms are well-maintained, which always matters. One challenge is seating -- there never quite seems to be enough, especially during peak times. Like many food halls, there can also be turnover among vendors, which is a bit unfortunate when you find a favorite. The setup here reflects what you often see in the Southeast: surface parking rather than garages or robust public transportation. It works, but it's different from West Coast infrastructure where you might hop on BART or a streetcar and arrive right at the door. Where Optimist Hall really shines is as a social destination. It's perfect for a group outing -- almost like a modern food truck rally. One person claims a table while everyone else explores, then you come back together, share dishes, and break bread. That communal experience is what makes this place special. It's a big wide world out there. Be curious -- and bon appétit.

It isn't the biggest food hall, but is a nice size for High Point and has a decently diverse selection of restaurants.

Title: If it's not in the shape of a wedge, it's not a wedge salad. WTF…read more Charlotte airport. Middle of the day. The restaurant is less than half full--four-tops and booths sitting empty as far as the eye can see. Meanwhile, every single traveler is wedged (ironically) into these tiny little two-tops that are about one-third shorter than a normal table. The very people most likely to need space are the ones being denied it. That's the whole reason solo travelers walk into places like this: space, a real table, somewhere to eat and knock out a little work between flights. So I ask politely if I could have a larger table. I'm told they're "for larger parties." I ask if I could sit in a booth. Same answer, delivered in that polite-but-pointed, bless-your-heart Southern tone. Darl'n. It gets better. The other half of the restaurant is even emptier. I ask again. Same answer. Different server. Same script. A small parade of hospitality lemmings. On my way out, the hostess suddenly notices the obvious: empty tables everywhere. She "finds" me a four-top. Moments later, she does the same for another single diner. Then another. Apparently the rules loosen once customers start walking. So: lousy hospitality, a faint mist of condescension, a smashed "wedge" salad that had clearly never met a wedge, and a $22 "therapeutic" cocktail to dull the experience. Airports are stressful enough. The least a half-empty restaurant can do is let people sit at an empty table.

"An airport fit for a Queen" because Charlotte is of course, the Queen City. One of those improvements is this food court that opened in 2019. It's another great restaurant and retail area to enjoy while you're passing through our airport. There's already a food court in the atrium area but this is beyond the E security checkpoint. Clean, open, airy space with several vendors. In the center, a bar area operated by Asheville's Wicked Weed Brewing. Around the perimeter, Auntie Anne's pretzels, Potbelly Sandwich Shop, Shake Shack and the second Bojangles to open in the CLT airport. (Bojangles is based here in Charlotte.) Definitely a great space for your layover! [Review 16563 overall - 3180 in North Carolina - 73 of 2022.]

I will definitely be back for the pizza and ice cream, pizza smelled great and the ice cream looked delicious. I found the drinks I was looking for at Resident Culture. I think they are a bit more expensive here, maybe because of the location. But service was fast and friendly and I'm looking forward to coming back when I have more time to hang out! @azfitfoodfun
