    Gooey Mushy Goat Melt
    Kirby N.

    Customer service was excellent, no line on a Friday at 11:45 ish , street parking was available The sandwich was delicious and full of flavor Fries extra crispy, well not extra, but very good The ranch is def home made unless I'm off My wife had the chips and they were great also

    Spicy Dasher Chicken Sandwich
    Ian N.

    Spicy Dasher Chicken Sandwich (5/5): The chicken was crunchy and well seasoned with a pretty classic hot sauce flavor. I also loved the caramelized onions and the buttered sourdough toast instead of a normal bun. Very spicy in a good way! Onion Rings (4/5): I could taste the batter a little too much, but they were well fried and crispy. *Get the Mouth Wooed Sour from Resident Culture (across the food hall) if they have it. It was both crisp and creamy with a lot of fruity tartness. I REALLY liked it. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

    The fries were beautifully seasoned, crispy and perfectly salty. The sandwich was wonderfully cheesy, melty and crispy to boot.

    I think these were the BEST wings I've ever had. Came here from the spectrum centre just to grab a bite. I got the garlic Parmesan wings and the peach sweet tea. The wings were actually GF no reaction and the tea was so good. The people that work there were super nice and warm. I would like to come back soon to try the tacos. My friends had the lemonade and Spicy chicken melt (it's super spicy so beware.) but they loved their meal as well. The people were super nice and I am so glad that the food matched their vibe. 10/10/10

    Good and Fast! Located the the 7th Street Market and they do validate your parking ticket if you use the garage We opted for the mushy melt which is grilled shrooms; arugula; grilled onions and goat cheese on a crusty sourdough bread! Here is what I liked everything but it had too much goat cheese for my taste - it tasted more like goat cheese sammy with a few mushrooms but still overall it was good. Next time I would ask for a lighter spread of the goat cheese possibly eliminating all together. The fries were hand-cut n fried fresh as were the onion rings in an ever so light batter! The staff/owners are very friendly! One warning if you try to call in an order - DON'T lol no one ever picks up!

    I finally got to try Mad Dash after waiting for forever lol! I was so excited they moved to the Market at 7th Street. I stopped by during Eat BLK CLT Festival and ordered their mambo wings and fries. Both were really good! I definitely want to come back and try a few other menu items for sure. They were super busy so the food took a while to come out. I love that the garage attached to the market validates for 90 minutes. That's always a win while Uptown. There's plenty of tables and seating inside the market too. Looking forward to checking them out again soon.

    This resturaunt is in a food hall. It's the second resturaunt in the right. Parking is validated for 2hrs (talk to person at register concerning your ticket) The person at the register provided great service. We had the mad patty melt with onion rings. The patty melt was juicy and flavorful (wish it had American cheese instead if cheddar) the onion needed some seasoning. We also had a pomegranate lemonade (very sweet) Other than that I would definitely come back.

    Food ordering was easy on the phone app. Received my text when it was ready, but the staff member at the register, white female with pink hair, was rude. She scolded me and said she didn't mark it ready yet. It isn't what she said it's how she said it. My order said ready at 12:45. I continued waiting at the pick up spot, and watched her berate several other patrons. Food was great, the vibe is on point as far as the atmosphere, but the girl at the register gives mean girl vibes. Won't matter how good the food is, with her RBF being the first thing you see. Not impressed.

    Located in the bustling 7th Street Market, Mad Dash has a relatively small menu that is packed with different flavors. Burgers, street tacos, loaded fries, you could describe them as a local elevated fast food joint. Most recently I stopped by for lunch and enjoyed the Dasher Chicken Sandwich with a side of onion rings. Made for a great lunch! If you don't feel like stopping by the market they also partner with Uber eats to deliver, so next time you're tempted to door dash some McDonald's maybe try supporting this local gem instead.

    A year later and I stand by my review. Tried the burger, and it was HUGE and seasoned well on a thick, soft roll. It had to be a half pound burger cooked to perfection. I thought it was going to be dry, but it was moist. I did add onion and mustard. The onion rings were thick and crispy, too. It was a delectable bite.

    While visiting uptown we decided to stop at 7th street market for the variety of food options. I chose Mad Dash and I was impressed. The food was delicious. I ordered a chicken sandwich for me and it was so crispy I even kept the pickles on my sandwich which I typically remove but these were so crunchy I chose to keep them on. The inside was perfect on the sandwich just the right amount of juicy. The fries were nice and crispy I had to rub some salt off but other than that they were good. My little ones enjoyed the wings and fries I order for them. I look forward to giving this place another try.

    The Dasher Chicken Sandwich
    Asha E.

    The Dasher might be the best fried chicken sando in Charlotte and, if it's not, it's at least top 5. Great service and quality food a price you can't beat. I appreciate what Chef Corey is doing in the kitchen and the fresh onion rings were enough to make me contemplate slapping my mama. But, I wanted to live another day, so I just enjoyed every bit of my food instead. Don't walk. Run! He has other items on his menu that I can't wait to try...like his wings. They've gotta be winners too!

    Ordered the Mad Dash Burger and Mumbo Number Fries. I was super impressed with my food. The burger was one of the best burgers I've had in a while. The bacon on the burger is heavenly. Plus the bun is saturated with butter adding to each bite of the burger. The Mumbo Number Fries has a sweet and spicy sauce on them that is tasty. My niece really enjoyed this dish. Overall Mad Dash is definitely a must try. Their flavor combos are outstanding. Chef Corey knows what he's doing. I have to return soon because I want to try the Mushy Goat Melt and the Dash Chicken Sandwich.

The waitress recommended the mimosa carafe since we were both ordering mimosas. They have the juice and champagne separate, and it's more than enough champagne. We were given more juice, too. We ordered the omelette. I added onions, peppers, smoked Gouda, and bacon to it. The Gouda set it off. It was delicious but could use more cheese on top or something. TN potatoes were flavorful and crispy enough. The toast was standard. My fiancé ordered the WWIII with chicken thigh. The waffle was okay. Nothing special, and the chicken was seasoned almost too much but was pretty good. Both paired well with the syrup. The music was great. Explicit but it was like they took my Spotify playlist and put in on the speaker. The waitress was fine. Wish she would've told us how much the mimosa carafe cost when she suggested it, but it was worth it. If we are in town again, we may go back.

    My first introduction to Pollo Campero wasn't in Charlotte. It was back in 2001 when I worked at…read moreHouston's international terminal. Flights from Guatemala would arrive, and passengers would walk off the plane carrying bags of Pollo Campero. The aroma was unforgettable. Ever since then, I've been curious about what made this chicken so special. Fast forward to Charlotte, and now I finally understand the hype. I stopped in for a quick lunch and ordered the four-piece roasted chicken meal with sweet plantains, coleslaw, and a roll. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The chicken was juicy and packed with spices that set it apart from your typical fast-food chicken chain. It's hard to explain until you try it, but the seasoning has a distinctive flavor that makes Pollo Campero uniquely its own. The sweet plantains were excellent. Soft, caramelized, and sweet with those slightly crispy edges that make plantains so addictive. The coleslaw was cold, creamy, and crunchy, which paired perfectly with the chicken. The service was friendly, the value was excellent, and my order was accurate. I always take a moment to check my order before leaving the drive-thru, and everything was exactly right. If your fried chicken experience begins and ends with KFC, Bojangles, or Church's, give Pollo Campero a try. It's a delicious taste of Guatemala and a reminder that great chicken comes in many forms. Life is too short not to eat well, Charlotte.

    Charlotte is a fried chicken city. Aside from being the headquarters for Bojangles, we've got…read moreoutlets for all the big chains - KFC, Church's, Popeye's and such. Several excellent local restaurants, too. So I had high hopes today for Pollo Campero. PC was clean when I arrived at 12:30. Quite busy with about a third of the tables in use and the remaining were clear of dirty dishes. Surprising because they don't have a trash can that I could see - the staff bus and clean tables, clearing them swiftly. I ordered a three piece at the counter and it didn't take long until a running found my tent card and I was able to start. The chicken was thoroughly cooked, still moist. Not much for flavor in the skin today, it needed some hot sauce to bring out the taste. The cole slaw was creamy and crisp. Still good but also a little bland. The small dinner roll wrapped in plastic was fresh and fluffy. Overall, it's a nice little fast food spot. If you're looking for something in a known quantity along South Boulevard near the light rail, this will work nicely. [Review 728 of 2025 - 4162 in North Carolina - 24288 overall]
