I've heard about Pinky's for several years, but I've never been visited. It was a very pleasant…read morevisit and I will be back. The customer service was good. The workers are very friendly and very attentive to what we needed. If I needed something, I did not have to wait for a long period of time for them to bring it to the table which I greatly appreciated. I ordered two fish tacos, which came with a side of black beans as well as the crab hush puppies. All of the food was very good and fresh! The fish tacos were very, very big and I liked the coleslaw and sauce that was on the top. It added a nice texture to the tacos. The fish was very crispy and it was well balanced throughout the taco. I only finished one of the tacos while I was there because they were that big! The black beans tasted like they had some type of neckbones or something smoky in it, but there was no meat in them at all. Delicioso!! My only gripe is that the side of black beans was very small. Nonetheless, it is something that I would go back for. The crab hush puppies were very good. The hush puppies were not dry, but they were moist and the crab melted in very nicely with the hush puppy mixture. I ordered eight and I promise you that I could eat a whole 12 or 16 of them by myself lol My guest ordered a patio margarita which was about seven dollars and said it was good and boozy. The drinks are standard pricing ranging from about $6-18. Overall, I'm very pleased that I finally tried this place.

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Such unprofessional management…read more I ordered a cocktail which tasted sour and downright awful... After telling the manager I didnt want it fixed nor want a replacement - they still charged me for it! Wouldn't take it off the bill! I took one sip! Horrendous. I felt as though the entire staff was snarky and condescending to me the entire time. I don't know why this has such high reviews... the food and drinks are disgusting. Go somewhere else!!! Please!!!

We went back to Bae's again yesterday to try the chicken sandwich specifically. I chose to have it…read morespicy and it comes with pickles and Bae's sauce. It was the very best chicken sandwich that I've ever had!!! It is breaded. However, the breading was as light as a feather, wispy thin. I'll need to toss a coin when going in the future, as I love the Bae's Patty Melt and the Chicken Sando equally. As always, there is nothing to clear by the time you are ready to leave. The staff pre-buses as the food disappears. It's such a nice touch to clear everything and not sit with a mess as you finish your drink while watching the activity on the street. I love, love this place and will bring family and friends when they visit from out of town.

Bae's Burgers has been on my must try list since they had a food truck only location. My family and…read moreI happened to be in the Mooresville area on Saturday and decided to stop in. The place was packed! I was thankful to get a table after ordering. We tried the single and double Bae burgers with fries and Bae sauce. I like how their smash burgers have fantastic crispy ends:) Their fries are great for a frozen product, especially with the bae's sauce for dipping. Overall it was a great first experience.

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.

After seeing Harriet's Hamburgers all over TikTok being crowned "the best burger in Charlotte," I…read morehad to see what the hype was about. I live super close to Optimist Hall, so it's been on my radar for a while. This particular night I wasn't feeling great, so I DoorDashed instead of dining in. I ordered the Royale with crispy fries and let me just say... I get it. The burger was genuinely impressive. The quality of the beef stood out immediately. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The meat to bun ratio was spot on, which is crucial. Nothing worse than a bread heavy burger. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh, the build was balanced, and even after delivery, everything held up beautifully. So far I've tried two burger spots in Charlotte, and this one takes the top spot. I'm not ready to declare it the best in the entire city just yet because my burger tour is ongoing, but right now it's leading the race. I'll definitely be going to Optimist Hall soon to try it fresh off the grill and experience the service and atmosphere firsthand. Expect an update. But based on this first round alone, Harriet's is absolutely worth the order. Burger lovers, this one deserves a try.

I don't normally come in to this location; this is only my second visit here. They have very friendly staff who allows you to seat yourself. Not too busy on a midday Saturday so there was ample seating. Our server came by for drink orders and gave us a chance to look over the menu. We decided on a BBQ chicken sandwich with onion rings and French fries and an Asian chicken salad. The sandwich was piping hot and done really well. It was the first time trying a salad here and it was definitely good. It was too big to finish, so I had half wrapped up. Loved the hot chicken on top of cold salad. Very tasty. I would definitely return to this location. I am not always by this Crafty Burgr, but service here was very good and the place had a comfortable feel, not too loud and nice and bright. Overall, good experience.

Note: 3 ppl order Truffle fries and they could not finish them due to being too salty. No one said anything to not to complain and no servers asked if everything is ok either. But it seems Truffle salt is being used. Tweaking that can be awesome. My only feedback is that the drink menu makes it seem like you only have a few drinks, even though you have a full bar. It may be helpful to place a variety of cocktails on the menu besides tequila and vodka.

I've been a fan of NYBS's restaurant since they opened, and my husband and I would visit at least…read moreonce a month for dinner.  Unfortunately, after a few recent bad experiences, we won't be returning.   My biggest issues recently have been - * Excessive salt on the Salmon BLT sandwich and meatballs - formerly, two of our favorite dishes * Smoked salmon fonduta - heating smoked salmon made this a fishy, unpalatable appetizer * Hamburger overcooked and dry, even with the added (very thinly sliced) cheddar cheese * Soggy fries * Crabcake aioli too sweet * Not enough servers to handle the demand in the restaurant, and we've noticed some turnover, too   I appreciate that NYBS offers reasonably priced specials and beverages, but their food quality has declined significantly since we first started eating there.  The only things we still enjoy are the steak flight, wings, and gouda and bacon macaroni and cheese.  It pains me to say this, but we are done. The decline in food quality and inattentive service have removed this restaurant from our rotation.

After visiting the Discovery Place for kids one block away, we found this little brunch/lunch place…read morewithin walking distance for our group of five. This is a nice restaurant situated in a little old single-story house that faces onto an inner courtyard in the old part of Huntersville. Breakfast, lunch, and a full bar pretty much can take care of whatever you're looking for. The main dining room is furnished with an eclectic assortment of mismatched chairs and tables, but it all seems to work. There is also a short bar for those eating alone. Kids are welcome, and they even have a box of toys for kids to amuse themselves with while others dine. Everyone in our group had some kind of breakfast offering ... and they offered some really creative choices. Service was on point, and everything came out together and hot. The only misstep was the lack of onion on one order. Coffee was hearty. They have a lot of outdoor seating in back facing the courtyard, and even some in the front yard: these outdoor arears effectively double the seating capacity of the restaurant, and both are totally dependent on the weather. We wouldn't hesitate to return. Recommended.
