    Excellent burgers!! (Says my nephew) We came here on a aunt/nephew "yes day" at his request. The mushroom truffle burger was yummy. The kids meal was perfect for him!

    Alhassen exemplified some of the best customer service I've experienced in a YEARS! He was so polite, knowledgeable and honest when recommending what I should order. I was a little bummed turkey burgers aren't offered anymore, but with his expertise he got me right. Great food, great atmosphere and EXCELLENT customer service!

    This is a nice spot located in the Cotswold area. There's parking on the side/back. The staff are friendly. I was immediately greeted upon entering. They have several different options for food such as burgers wings shakes fries, onion, rings. Tots, etc. The place was clean. For the burger, onion rings, and shake. It will cost you around $20. The weight wasn't long at all. Hope you enjoy your experience.

    Double Classic Smash

    2.5 stars really. Small parking lot and it's a massive chain. Food was ok, but a bit expensive for the price. Burger was almost sliding off the bun. Fries ok at best. Service was great though.

    Classic Double Smash Fries

    I have been here before and I have always had good experiences. Yesterday was another one of them. My husband and I ordered the double smash burger with the smash fries and a drink it was sooo good. The burger was nice hot & juicy!!! The service was fast! My son enjoyed the tenders kids meal and fries. The portion size was good for him. The staff was great she answered my questions with no problems and was ready to take our order as soon as we arrived. If you are looking for a great burger option while in the Cotswold Area I highly recommend you give this place a try.

    A pretty decent hamburger place in a centrally located area in town. My wife and I had the smoked cheddar brisket burger and the barbeque bacon cheddar burger with fried. The fries were pretty good, and the burgers were not bad either. We tried getting the wings, but the wait time was 14 minutes, so we went for burgers. The location was easy to find, and it has its own free parking spot.

    Smash Tots.  Very small portion for the price, over $3.00!!

    The COLORADO BURGER was a good even if it is kind of messy. No picture because it is not the prettiest presentation. The lettuce is cut in ribbons which is great for a salad but weird for a burger and it and falls out of the bun constantly. Speaking of the bun, the Colorado burger comes with a spicy chipotle bun. It tasted like a regular bun. The SMASH TOTS® are delicious with the rosemary flavor. My only complaint is they are overpriced (over $3.00) for a very small amount of tots (see picture).

    Delicious DBL Smash!!

    Absolutely delicious!! Fast - friendly! Crew offers great energy, with smiles! Rare thing these days!

    Super nice employee. Free drinks insanely good burgers and great music. Never go to the Panera down the street, smash burger on top. Cheap affordable prices for great food that will make ur day. Can't comprehend how good these milkshakes are. Where ass Panera tastes like moldy cheese and has slow working employees with no commen sense Go smash burger

    Giant hair in my smashburger.
    Bry F.

    Pulled this giant hair out of my mouth after biting into their smashburger today. After finding the giant hair I looked and saw no one working here wearing hairnets. No one in the kitchen or out front or even the manager were wearing hairnets. Disgusting. This will be my last trip to Smashburger forever. Time to go throw up.

    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.

Too many choices. Just red something simple, delicious, and contorting. But who? Enter QCBC. It's getting late. I'm hungry. And I want something simple. And honestly, The Alley is really hyper confusing. So I pull into QCBC just looking for a burger and a beer. And dayum!! Did they deliver!!! First...my bartender comes in super cool. She explains the menu and recommends a beer. I keep it simple...the QCBC Burger with provolone and fries. She recommends the Kolsch. I'm in!! Long story short...perfection!!! The burger is cooked exact to spec. The fries are crispy, seasoned and delicious, and the beer is a pitch-perfect match. Faith restored!!! I was skeptical going in. Walking out...full, happy, and looking forward to the next time I can settle up to the bar and enjoy another perfect burger and a beer experience. Seriously kids...hit it out of the park!!!
