    This has been a local spot I love for many years! The burgers are great. I like mine just burger…read moreand ketchup, the fresh hamburger patty delicious not buried under a heap of toppings. Yet, Brooks is famous for the chili and the slaw is good. My friend had the smoked sausage sandwich,said it was great. The potato wedge fries are fried crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. This one of my childhood local spots still great food. It is a sandwich shop order at outside window without any real seating but still well worth it

    A Charlotte institution, Brooks has been serving tasty burgers, hot dogs and fries from a red-brick…read moreroadside kitchen in NoDa since 1973. And their recipe for success is pretty simple: fresh, honestly made food served hot, and with a smile. There's no indoor seating (and not much outdoors, for that matter), limited parking, and no booze, but the chili cheeseburger, served in a wax paper wrap and dripping with greasy flavor, is a quintessential Queen City experience. Service was fast and friendly, and you can enjoy your meal at a covered picnic table or (as we did) in your car. I wouldn't say Brooks makes the city's 'best burger' (much less 'the World's,' as the sign claims), but its homemade goodness will remind you of simpler days, when it was a lot easier to find reliably tasty comfort food at a reasonable price. Definitely worth a visit from anywhere in Charlotte.

    Found this dive on Yelp and somehow I have never driven by it. We had lunch there and little did we…read moreknow they were a part of restaurant week as well. I didn't do the restaurant week menu but I did get the penguin burger meal. It was a double patty smash burger with truffle fries. The meal was great and tasted delicious... as expected with the name. I like this little gem of a restaurant and would definitely go back for their burgers. The environment is pretty laid back and easy with kids. They have a free game room which was an added bonus. Overall I like the place and recommend if you are searching for a good smash burger.

    The music here was easily the highlight of the visit--Billy Joel, Otis Redding, Katy Perry, Bruno…read moreMars, and Sir Elton John had me grooving while waiting for my food! The servers were also very nice and friendly. However, a few things held the experience back: Atmosphere & Layout: First, don't let the name fool you--it's not actually a drive-in. Walking into the lobby, I was hit with a stale, dank, musty smell, which seemed to be coming from the restrooms located right at the front entrance. The waiting bench was cluttered with high piles of boxes, which didn't make the best first impression, and the hand towel dispenser in the ladies' room was out of order. The Food: I paid $11 for five skinny, dry wings paired with a watery blue cheese dressing. For "jumbo" wings, they were pretty mid. The menu overall feels like it could use an upgrade (Bad Daddy's Burgers right across the street sets a much better benchmark for this type of casual spot burger). The staff and the playlist were fun, but between the lacking atmosphere and disappointing food, it falls right in the middle for me.

    Today I happened upon a Crave Hot Dogs and Beer. They have a vast menu with a ton of options. My…read morefriend and I stopped in for a snack. We got a chili cheese dog with fries. 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.

    I didn't not eat at their restaurant. Their food truck came to a event in my nearest city. Customer…read moreservice was amazing. Answered all the questions. Ambiance was nice and they did have samples of their popular dishes. I order the brisket Sammy which has sliced brisket, Kansas BBQ sauce, coleslaw and pickles (which i didn't add). Sammy was perfect. Brisket was easy pull apart and they don't skimp on slaw and sauce. Need to return to try more items, but today's choice was a 10/10.
