Jack Brown's is a fun, dive-bar-style spot right in the heart of NoDa. I love the eclectic decor, from the vintage lockers to the board game section, and they have a fantastic patio to hang out on. The menu is simple but consistently good. All of the burgers I have tried so far have been incredibly tasty, and they also feature a rotating burger of the day to keep things interesting. The Sticky Nugs are by far the absolute standout menu item. That being said, I am still going to say we need a petition to bring the Ricky Bobby flavor back! It was left off after the recent menu change, but if they bring it back, it will easily be a fan favorite all over again. In the meantime, they do have a rotating specialty flavor, so be sure to ask the staff about the current option! To top it all off, they have great drinks and a solid beer selection, all at a solid price point! read more

After a concert we were starving. We headed to this burger joint. Or a dive bar as the server called it. I must say the service wasn't there for me. The waiter seemed super arrogant and short like we were a bother being there. Any questions I asked they were short and dry. So let's move on. There was plenty of seating. We sat outside. There was meant to be live music but none played during our 30 minutes. The Sticky nugs were AMAZING. The burger was perfection. The fries were good as well. I would Absolutely eat here again for the food. read more

The service was quick and to the point. The food tasted as it should. However, the cost was exorbitant for a burger. I am a small person and I could have eaten two of these burgers for the $14 bill. read more

I think I am late to the party, but what a fun little dive bar tucked in NODA. There was plenty of parking near by and we decided to get burgers & fries. The fry basket is plenty to share between two people & the burger literally melted in my mouth - soooo good!! We also got the bbq nuggets, I was also very impressed by these. We will be back to try some other things on the menu, overall a great experience!!! read more

Jack Brown's - Cheered - New American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Overpriced by delicious. I met a friend here for lunch. I ordered the Cobra Kai burger (everything is served a la carte). It was 12 dollars for a burger about the size of a McDonald's cheeseburger. It was absolutely delicious, but I couldn't quite wrap my head around the cost for such a small burger. I absolutely loved the decor and the vibes of the restaurant. It's a really eclectic place. The service was speedy, but the kitchen was kinda slow. If the prices matched the portion size and everything wasn't individually priced, it would be a 5 star. read more

The burger option drew us in to this burger and bar spot in NoDa. It's right next to the Firehouse and 4 firefighters were enjoying lunch at the next table. They have about 10 beers on tap, lots of cans, and liquor at the bar. They have plain burgers, 8 specialty burgers, and daily specials. I really enjoyed the heat from the Kobra Kai burger. We also got a basket of fries and I took the staff's suggestion of dipping them in their delicious sauce of mayo, garlic, and onion - great suggestion! This is a a great spot for a quick and casual burger and beer in NoDa. read more

I first discovered Jack Brown's in Nashville and it quickly became my go-to for burgers whenever I was in town. I was a tad skeptical when I heard one had opened up in Charlotte -- places tend to lose that original flavor whenever they branch out. Well, that isn't the case here. In fact, I don't know if it's because I haven't been to Jack Brown's in so long but the burger I had in Charlotte (Ron Swanson, the Tuesday special) was five-star worthy. Not to mention, the decor of this Jack Brown's was the similar chill, divey and laidback kinda vibe of the one in Nashville, the servers were absolutely great and it's in a fun part of town. Their sauces are good too as well as their beer collection. You really can't go wrong here and I'm glad for this latest addition to the Charlotte food scene. read more

Billy Jack's is one of those NoDa spots that just hits. It's a bar atmosphere, so great if you're just trying to chill, drink & eat good food while hanging out with your friends. If you're looking for a quiet spot to have great conversation with a friend, this isn't the place for you hahaha. It's pretty loud, but I love that kind of environment! The food is also pretty solid! I've had a few things on the menu, but what stands out to me is the waffles with sticky nuggs. A solid combo that will fill you up. Only reason I deducted a star is because it is kind of late night, bar food, not necessarily top notch cuisine. But stop by late at night when you got the munchies and you won't be disappointed in the service or the food! read more

Jack Browns is one of my favorite burger places to visit. They always have a great selection of beers and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

We have been here several times and they never disappoint. The atmosphere and staff are always welcoming and friendly. In the past we have had their burgers and they are standout. Located in Noda, parking can sometimes be challenging. This time we had the macaroni bites and sticky nuggs. The appetizers are served in a carton for sharing. They have rotating craft beers, ciders and offer cocktails. A local bar worth visiting. read more

Me and the kids had slept late so we were up late last night. I didn't feel like cooking so I got on Yelp and I found Jack Brown's and Noda that is open till 2 AM. It was around 11 o'clock when I ordered four burgers for me and my children. I parked on the street across the street from the store and me and my daughter went in and got it. It was packed with people, laughing, smiling and having fun. I got the burger with the mushroom and the grilled onions. It was banging my children got the regular cheeseburgers. They each came with a little dipping sauce. It was great sorry no pictures. We were so hungry. We couldn't take a picture. read more

Stoped into BillJack's Shack for a snack last weekend, and enjoyed some delicious and wildly messy nachos...after all, are nachos and good if they're not messy? They load up a plate of their hose made potato chips with BBQ pork, mac and cheese, white Alabama sauce, onions and bacon! So many delicious flavor all culminating into one. The interior was packed full, but they had some open seating on their covered patio. Fun, eclectic atmosphere. Waitstaff was friendly and quick. Nachos were great, I'd definitely try other items if I'm ever in the area again! read more

The burger and fries were soooo good! This was my first time stopping in for a quick beer and I decided to grab some food as well. It was a Saturday night, there was a cute little crowd, nothing too crazy. The bartender was so friendly and super fun. We chatted for the time I was there since I sat at the bar. The music was good too. The burger was super juicy and flavorful and the sweet potato fries and special sauce omgggg! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I'll definitely be back! read more

Very quirky establishment in Noda. Right in front of Bargaritta Bar. Walked in, and we were able to seat ourselves right away. Waitress took our order quickly and efficiently. Towards the end, though, she did get flooded, so it took her a while to bring us our check. Overall, it was a great vibe, different types of people, and I love the quirkiness of this place. My friend ordered two sliders and fries, and they were delicious. Just the right amount of food to not get you overlly full. The fries were awesome. Just the right amount of crisp to them and the sauce was delicious. Reminded me of Yum Yum sauce. Overall, great place. Will definitely be returning. read more

For years I had wanted to try the food here and finally did it, and I haven't turned back since. They have some of the best bar food I've had. I've ordered plenty of the menu by now and haven't had anything bad. Check it out if you are in the Noda area. It checks out with the eclectic vibe that you'd expect from somewhere in Noda and it definitely feels like a dive bar. Service and food has always been quick! It gets pretty busy so there may be a short wait but the tables turn quickly. read more

While I still enjoy this place I feel the need to update my review. Back around the time of the Covid pandemic they removed a large portion of their menu including a lot of my favorites like the billy jack Mac. I was told at the time it was to simplify their menu since like all restaurants they were having difficulties associated with the pandemic. This is understandable, but unfortunately the discarded items were never brought back. They don't have much variety on their menu anymore. They used to be one of my favorite places to eat in noda. Now I see it more as just a place to grab drinks. Maybe one day they will expand their menu again, one can only dream. read more

Great food and atmosphere, this is a nice spot to stop in for a beer and burger. Would recommend

Not impressed at all... Burgers were small and pretty much basic. BJs sauce was ok for my tots, without it, they were tasteless. Food was brought to the table and i was given the wrong burger, found this out by biting into it. Brought it to the attention of the server, basically was told they wouldn't remake it for the other person i was with (even though the server told me it was the one i ordered, and it wasn't)....she basically stayed away from my table until it was time to drop off the check. I'm sure it's a nice place and lots of people enjoy it, I'm good on going back though. Wasn't the best experience for me. read more

Really good food. Nothing out of this would but for a bar that really feels like a bar, the food is good and I'll order again. The sliders are a nice way to try the different burger flavors. Service varies on the day but most recent time was good. read more

My foodie friend was telling me about this being her new spot, so of course I wanted to come check it out with her! We love a good dive bar :) Billy Jack's Shack is in the heart of Noda and this particular day parking wasn't too bad. I walked in and immediately felt at home lol. It was just such a chill vibe, lots to look at lol. We came on a Friday during the day so there weren't many people. A very short time after I sat down the server came over and I'm soooo sad I don't remember his name but he was AMAZING!!!! So attentive and sweet! He anticipated our needs with bringing things over and just checking on us in general and was super knowledgeable. He was just really great!!! I ordered the "Big Jack Burger" and ooooooooooh my goooooosh it was one of the best burgers I've had the great pleasure of biting in to in a LONG time! IDK who was on the grill on this day but Bless you LOL. The burger has: lettuce, american cheese, dill pickles, fried onions, and doppelgänger sauce and it was fantastic! Our server highly recommend the tater tots to this first timer so I obliged and I was not disappointed. All this paired with a Mountain Candy brew from Sycamore....ah good times. Cannot wait to come back here! read more

This place was excellent. The Pickle was even super tasty. I had the Ron Swanson and it was FANTASTIC. I got their loaded fries, again FANTASTIC. My buddy got a basic burger and sweet potato fries- again FANTASTIC. The server was happy and polite and the manager was super nice and engaging too. I recommend eating here for sure. read more

Belly full of Redneck Nachos and a beer and I am stuffed! Nice take on nachos with bbq pork on home made potato chips, very tasty! Service was quick and friendly. The main dining space was packed but we found room on the patio. Very hot day, but they did have fans to keep the air moving. Very interesting decor, interesting odds and ends packed in everywhere, plus stickers everywhere. Had fun looking at the variety. May have to come back to try the burgers and sliders next time we make it to the charlotte area. Enjoyed walking around the NoDa area a bit after eating . read more

Truly one of my favorite lunch boxes of all time. I did the Greg Brady and Shooter McGavin sliders with the salad.

I highly recommend and will be back to try more. read more

What a great experience we had here pregaming before a Panthers game! Bartender was on her A-game even though it was pretty crowded for late afternoon. We had to wait about 15 minutes for a table but the staff turned the tables over quickly. The most you could sit at a hightop is 6 and I didn't see any other tables "pushed" together. The rest of the venue is very eclectic and designed for a good time. Three of us at our table ordered the sliders with sides of tots and one of our guests got a regular hamburger with french fries. The burgers were really good I highly recommend trying this place out, as we will definitely go back and try other things on the menu! read more

Dark + divey! Billy Jack's is a solid spot to hang out with friends. Good food and good beer selection! I recommend joining the Bones Club and get rewarded once you drink 100 different beers (it doesn't expire don't worry)! I just moved here and definitely plan to stop in to watch games in the fall. Easy walk from the light rail, would definitely recommend leaving your car at home. read more
