    Ordering and waiting area
    Angie C.

    I had 30 mins to spare until my boarding began, and there was absolutely no one in line when I walked by, so I thought I could get a quick order in and have time to eat it at my gate! I was horribly overestimating their capabilities. The cashier taking my order was the only kind employee. First impressions of storefront weren't great though. While the design seemed new and cute, I noticed their fridge to-go area was very scarce. All the water bottles that should have been stocked there were crowded along the counter space, looking very shabby and wasting what could have been cold water. Once I ordered, the cashier had talked to the staff (2 of them) at the kitchen window waiting for orders to come out, and the two staff members gave her attitude and did not respond to her. They were also dressed in street clothes, although black clothing, did not seem like they were at work. I waited more than 30 minutes for my food, and the entire wait, I see people in the kitchen just standing and talking. The staff waiting for orders was on her phone the entire time. There was no urgency and I didn't even see anyone working except to take more orders. I was late to my boarding and didn't get to eat until after takeoff. I regret buying my lunch here entirely.

    Green Goddess Chicken Cobb Salad chicken and Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice Soup

    I never review airport food establishments, but felt the need to after seeing such low ratings on this one. There are 2 Panera Breads located in this airport, so if you place an online order, double check it's the closest one to you, or else you'll need to take a 15-20 minute walk (yes, this airport is huge!) I placed an ASAP online order of Green Goddess Chicken salad with extra veggies and a cup of Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice soup. It was ready within 5-7 minutes! i saw a few reviews saying that the order takes a while - as soon as you get the email/notification that it's ready, head to the front and double check on it. Mine was ready and just waiting on the counter. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience! They added ample chicken and veggies to my salad, I also got 2 free bread slices, and redeemed my first time member reward of a free chocolate chip cookie!

    Decided to get something here while I waited for my flight home. First the workers need to . pay more attention to their customers than to their cell phones. When you go to work, the operative word is work. It's not about you playing on your cell phone. I ended up getting the smokehouse sandwich ( with the sauce on the side) which came with a small bag of chips. I added a little bit of the sauce to the sandwich. Overall the sandwich was pretty good.

    I was quite disappointed with the amount of chicken in my Mediterranean Salad with Grains. While service was attentive, I don't plan to order any salads at Panera Bread any time soon.

    Frozen together.

    Rhino Market & Deli feels like the kind of neighborhood spot that every city wishes it had…read more This Wesley Heights location is one of my favorite easy stops in Charlotte. It's right on the way to my yoga studio, so it's perfect for a quick in-and-out lunch, but honestly, it's also the kind of place where you end up lingering longer than planned. My usual order is the ABLT on rye with Boar's Head applewood smoked bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Simple, fresh, and consistently delicious every single time. I almost always pair it with the Spinach Bacon salad loaded with spinach, cranberries, goat cheese, tomatoes, toasted pecans, and brown sugar peppered bacon. The portions are huge and definitely shareable. What makes Rhino special is that it's more than just a deli. It's part neighborhood market, part coffee shop, part beer and wine stop, and part community hangout. They've got local products, grab-and-go snacks, fresh sandwiches, beer on tap, wine, outdoor patio seating, and sometimes even live music. It reminds me of the small independent spots I used to love in the Bay Area around Burlingame, San Mateo, and Palo Alto. Relaxed, local, welcoming, and full of personality. The staff is always friendly, and the atmosphere feels genuinely Charlotte. Not overly polished. Not trying too hard. Just good food, good people, and a place that locals clearly love. And if you are visiting North Carolina, you absolutely have to try Cheerwine at least once. It's basically a Carolina rite of passage. Cherry soda lovers will probably be obsessed. Me personally? Not exactly my flavor profile, but people here drink it like water, so clearly they are onto something. Rhino Market is one of those places that makes a city feel like home. Life is too short to not eat well, Charlotte. Get out there.

You order at one window, grab an extra items, pay, then they'll call your name/number. Super easy. I ordered the Rhino Club described on the menu as: Boar's Head Branded Deluxe Ham, Lower Sodium Turkey, Applewood Smoked Bacon, provolone, bibb lettuce, tomato, dijon vin on choice of bread. The ordering and payment process was easy. I was solo so I took a seat at the bar area to eat. Sandwich looked good when I unwrapped it, large slices of toasted bread with fresh lettuce and tomato. The strangest thing was, on the left side of the sandwich were several slices of deli turkey rolled up. On the right side of the sandwich were several slices of deli ham rolled up. I hadn't seen a sandwich made like that before. It felt like half of a turkey sandwich and half of a ham sandwich as opposed to a ham and turkey sandwich. Was it bad? Definitely not. I waffled between a 3 and a 4 star for this one but felt generous because, overall, I liked the vibe of the place.

As I'm strolling through the food court nothing seemed to scratch my tastebuds, I considered all the options and settled on a sandwich from Jersey Mikes. As I'm standing in line I hear some college girls behind that was faced with the same dilemma, we chit chatted briefly. So as we're standing in the at least 10 deep line, a patron passes by us with the most delicious looking salad. I'm one of those people that will stop and ask "What did you get, that looks good ", she got the club salad and added extras. Yup, in unison we said "I want that"! And I got that! It was the second most delicious salad I've had while on my working travels. Guest service interaction 5, speed of service 5 and accuracy 5, picture perfect 5, taste 5, freshness 5 : ) Ambiance in the airport? Expected, nothing to Tic Tok.

I picked this for a few reasons, the price wasn't insane, it can easily be eaten with your hands, and doesn't need to be warm. We got in the line, and soon realized it wasn't moving, somehow the one only person working the cash register was creating a bottle neck, and the 4 other people "working", were in no rush to get the orders through, they didn't jump on the other register or try to assist him, they were just sitting around waiting for the cashier to get the orders in. Once the orders got in, the others were quick to get them made and sent out, but no one seemed to have any sense to help the struggling cashier. I ordered a ham and provolone sub, which once ordered came out relatively quick. But in the end, I realized I had picked the wrong dinner option. The sub was pretty bad, they seemed to really drench the bread with oil, I think? It was very overpowering, and made everything greasy. All of the toppings were slipping out of the sandwich and I could only eat about half of the sub. One because of the flavor, and two because I didn't want that much oil to destroy my stomach on a cross country flight. This definitely has left a bad impression in my mind for any other future visits to Jersey Mikes, and seeing all the other bad reviews on here for this location, I hope someone will take notice and make some changes.

    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.

    CLT has been extensively improving the airport over the last few years, currently burning through…read more$2.5b for concourse upgrades, a new arrivals/departures pick up/drop off area, extending the terminals and somehow fitting a fourth parallel runway into the airport property. "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 made the mistake of ordering the new sandwich they were advertising. Tons of people who ordered after me got their food before me. Eventually I noticed another guy who was waiting for a long time had ordered the same thing as me. He had a plane to catch so he told them to switch his order and just give him a regular chicken sandwich. After he waited a bit more, he got his revised order; 30 seconds later I got my order. If he hadn't changed his order he might have gotten his food faster than if he did change it. Overall, it probably would have been fine if I ordered something more common, but it shouldn't make a difference, especially at a location like this where people might not be able to wait. Also, there wasn't a lot of seating and I took my food to another part of the airport to eat it.
