    Sloppy Joe sandwich with turkey and pastrami
    Nick M.

    The Sloppy Joe sandwich was delicious! I got it with turkey & pastrami, and it was one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time.

    Run, do NOT walk - to Katz Deli Charlotte Camfield Street Long Review but one of my new FAVs! Wow, is all I can say! Honestly, this is gonna sound crazy, but that was the best homemade chicken cutlet I've had anywhere, in a very long time. My mom used to make the best, this is just as good. Ordered a Reuben sandwich, take a look at the size of that baby! Excellent flavor, portions are incredible. Everybody, who knows when I post anything about potatoes? It's not my favorite thing in the world. However, those potato pancakes were even better than my mom's! Seriously, you have got to try them and yes I'm going to get them again! The plate of two cold cuts? They are made in house, not ordered/delivered in from a third-party. Freshness, flavor, texture - wonderful. Honestly? If I need sandwich meat, this is where I'm going from now on. I tasted a little tiny container of cucumber salad, and potato salad, again? As good as my mom made! I've ordered cucumber salad from other places, but it tends to be soft and just not fresh, you know? Absolutely not the case here - crispy, fresh, perfect amount of seasoning in both salads. I sound like a broken record, reminded me of my mom and her salads Lastly, he gave me a sour pickle and a mild pickle and I agree with him 100% I would not bother with the mild pickle either. They really do taste watery, but the sour pickle was excellent. The gentleman that served me and the young lady behind the counter were so much fun to talk to! Reminded me of Home (New Jersey) he was such a comedian! I said 'there's no way you can hate cheese' it was such a fun visit! A wonderful experience, again the cost for the portions and the quality? I honestly wouldn't go anywhere else. Can't wait to try out a couple of other sandwiches. They also have handmade desserts and other wonderful items that you can order from the deli. I saw one that was made with mac & cheese, but it was more on the sweet side. She said so almost like a dessert treat? Seriously, stop in and give them a try. I've driven past them for months and they've been closed. I literally got there at 2:45 and they close at 3pm - food was still fresh as can be - I was thankful that I got in so that I could have a couple of great meals and post the review!!

    Continuing my globe trotting and seeking nirvana . In Charlotte NC, and found KATZ deli and yes we asked, is there any relationship with New York renowned Katz Deli. The young lady indicated no. However, the food was on point...I thought I had died and went to heaven...the food was absolutely off the chart...in NC and eating NY....the service was outstanding with the staff constantly asking about the food and was there anything they could do for us. Small restaurant but enough room to seat about 20 people comfortably. Reminded me of my old neighborhood deli. Meat was fresh and delivered to the table. The rest room was clean and there was a young lady continually working yo clear the tables and address other issues. This is a must do if and when in Charlotte.

    Katz. This kid and I love this place!

    Katz is a bit of a hike from home , but I was in the neighborhood getting my Pre-check renewed and had 30 minutes to spare. It is one of my all time favorite places especially when Lee is working. I used to take my son here when he was a lil guy. Ordered the Jim's way; potato pancakes with pastrami and 2 OE eggs. It's was outstanding! Katz is warm and welcoming in a NYC Deli kinda way!

    Had a chance to come back and visit Katz Deli and owner Lee this morning. It has been a minute since I have been here, but once again they did not disappoint. Kaiser rolls from NY/NJ just helps to make the best BEC in this part of NC. Had to have the Latkes (potato pancakes) and just brought me back to Hy Tulip days in Bensonhurst Thank you Lee for keeping consistent and authentic

    I love to support small businesses. This is like a hole in the wall NYC deli. Don't expect any fanfare, it's barebones, no nonsense. We had hot dogs and a sub. Both were outstanding! It's fresh and delicious. I'm a fan of the pickles They know ppl by name and orders if you frequent enough - a neighborhood joint.

    Great Reuben

    I hadn't intended to eat in a good pavilion today, but we ended up here. I landed on Famous…read moreHarriett's Hamburger Sandwiches, not expecting much. It was an excellent burger. Sometimes simple of the way to go. Lettuce, American Cheese, tomatoes, crinkled pickles, onions, and their "good good sauce." This all came together with the 100% premium angus beef (antibiotic and hormone free) smash-burgers perfectly cooked. The fried were very good, nicely crispy, but not overdone. Service was friendly and very quick. I highly recommend this place if you want a great burger.

    Located inside the lively Optimist Hall, Harriet's Hamburgers is a great stop if you're craving a…read moresimple, well-executed smash burger. Optimist Hall itself is a very food-centric, upscale food hall with a ton of vendors, so the atmosphere is energetic and fun. Seating can be a little challenging during peak dinner hours since so many people are grabbing food from different spots, but when the weather is nice there's plenty of outdoor seating. Harriet's keeps their burger formula refreshingly simple. It's a classic smash burger done right--made to order with a straightforward menu that doesn't overcomplicate things. There's usually a line, but it moves pretty quickly, and the burgers come out hot and fresh. One of the best parts of eating here is the flexibility of the food hall experience. While you're waiting, you can grab a craft beer, a glass of wine, or even browse for dessert from one of the other vendors. Insider tip: Come with a group if you can. It's a great place to share fries and let everyone explore different vendors around the hall. Parking is fairly easy with the nearby garage, which makes the whole experience even more convenient. Overall, Harriet's is a fun, delicious stop for a smash burger, especially if you're already enjoying the energy of Optimist Hall.

    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.

As soon as I opened the restroom door to wash my hands, there was a dirty mop bucket sitting right in the doorway. Then, when I got to the sink, there was a bulky item sitting in it, making it impossible to wash my hands. That alone was enough to leave a bad impression. What made it even worse was seeing employees sitting in the dining area on their phones with headphones in instead of paying attention to the restaurant. It gave the impression that cleanliness and customer service were not priorities. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because a clean restaurant and attentive staff are the bare minimum. Unfortunately, this experience makes it hard for me to return.
