This is probably the first time I've ever written a review for airport food, but here we are!…read more Stopped in and wanted something relatively healthy. Got the tabbouleh wrap with chicken and a side of fries. That wrap was DELICIOUS. I was so pleased. Only knocking stars for the price, because $23 for a wrap is ridiculous. But if I'm going to pay that much, I'm just glad it was good. Sat at the bar. Service was fine--nothing above and beyond, but they were friendly and we got our food in a reasonable amount of time to eat and get to our gate.

It was something like $13 for a draft beer, and expensive entrees ($24+) for some BS. Also, I totally just wanted a chicken tender basket or something after catching wind of the Wendy's across the walkway, but they didn't even have that. Service was lackluster, they were understaffed for sure. Ambiance is, of course, awful because everyone smells like plane and is tired of hauling their luggage. I ordered the chicken and waffles which was 4 wings (mid) and a hotel continental breakfast style waffle. Just weird.

There is a play area for the kiddos and beer for their parents. We were headed to Splatter Charlotte and it was nice to have a place with a changing room (bathroom really) where we could change, get a snack and go. If you don't know what you want for lunch this is your place. Plenty to choose from! I am not sure that I will be back as it is a little out of the way.

I haven't always known what I was eating as I purchased a surprise meal at the end of the night, but I've always enjoyed what I received. Always easy to park and easy pickup.

During my layover in Charlotte, I grabbed something quick to eat at Beaudevin. The seating was…read morecomfortable. The food was average. The service was pleasant.

I already like Charlotte airport-even though the concourses get really crammed sometimes…read more Everything just seems more manageable there. Maybe it's the atrium-all that light streaming into the central part of the terminal. Maybe it's the piano player or the rocking chairs. Now I can add Beaudevin to that list of pleasantries. It's right there in the atrium, tucked behind a sushi place. It's so peaceful-you can watch the people rush by-without really hearing them or getting hit by their luggage. It has bar seating... fully inside seating... and seating just outside the main dining room-for that al fresco/"dining on the patio" feel. I chose that spot during a recent long layover. It was perfect. So was my server! She was so pleasant and upbeat, vibrant and helpful. She knew exactly when to check on me. I went with the Greek salad and a Pinot Grigio. Both were very good. Then I tried an Albariño. Chef's kiss-spectacular! The decor included some glam lighting and wine bottle theming. The chairs, while attractive and comfortable-we're definitely well worn (with lots of peeling). But... it didn't take away from the ambiance. Everything was clean. The food menu is fairly limited but there are lots of wine and cocktail options. As for prices... well, you know... you're at the airport. But I'll definitely go back again-and sip away, while watching the changing light outside those big windows. You've gotta grab those dreamy moments when and where you can. Cheers!

This is an addition to what we've eaten at the Gibson Mill food court. We stopped by for an event…read moreand decided to get a sweet treat. We ended up at PetalCake Coffee. The case was full of cookies and a few petalcakes (aka cupcakes) After speaking to the nice young man behind the counter that said some batches of cookies had just come out of the oven, we went for two cookies. A classic chocolate chip and a fresh out of the oven s'mores. Prices were not listed anywhere we could see, but we were in for the sweet treat. I was, however, taken aback a bit that two cookies were $10 and some change, but having said that they were delicious cookies. Especially the s'mores. We're still pulling for Gibson Mill Market to make it because it's such a great concept. The atmosphere is great for meeting up with friends and hanging out with a beverage.

After walking around a little bit, we grabbed lunch in the food court. The food will be reviewed separately. Highbranch Brewing is downstairs with a gaming place. There's an antique mall and Cabbarus Brewing in an adjacent building that is very large. We'll probably stop by here again someday to enjoy it during a little busier time. Recommend stopping in here.

There wasn't a long line when I showed up but the staff appeared to be pretty busy taking care of…read moreeverything. They were still able to take my order pretty fast. I wouldn't recommend getting the pasta if you are in a hurry. It takes about 8 minutes to cook. I got the 3 Cheese Pasta with chicken. It was pretty good for how cheap it was relative to a lot of other airport food options. The pasta was so cheesy but the chicken didn't really have any seasoning on it. The breadstick was fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The portion was just big enough to fill me up without leaving me too full. Overall it was a good meal, but pretty plain.

Alley 51 is a food hall next to Super G's International Market. they have an incredible variety of restaurants to choose from all of them from East Asia. You can find sushi, Vietnamese noodle bowls, Mongolian, beef, and even roast Peking duck. come on! How cool is that? I have tried a few of the restaurants. I especially enjoyed the Thai. I have had the drunken noodles which were delightful. I was able to add Thai chilies which helped the level considerably. The owner recommends the basil chicken fried rice. I have also enjoyed the Laoatian food. The Laab is really good. I plan to eat my way across the entire hall. I am looking forward to sampling it all.

Looked like something that had been wrapped up in the fridge, plopped onto a plate, and served for $18 or something ridiculous. But it was the bartender who really was so nice and professional and personable. He was a tall, handsome man with a DEEP voice and a southern drawl whose daughter was turning 16. He also made a good drink. The reason I am writing this review was because we'd stopped at another place where everything (even getting on a list for a table) was by QR code so we decided not to go there (looking at you, Mexican restaurant). Covid really ruined so many service businesses by allowing employers to get away with not staffing all these garbage no-human, low-effort eating establishments in airports. It seems rare where a restaurant actually employs people who wait on you and talk to you. I will always go to an establishment with humans over QR codes even if the food is only okay. To the bartender - I hope your daughter had a great sweet 16 party!

Wish I had gotten a photo, but the chicken pesto flatbread was not as advertised. What I received…read morewas more like two mini tostada flatbreads. Flavor was pretty blah, mealy tomatoes and soggy crust. The guy next to me got pepperoni which looked a little better but was also two mini flatbreads. Not sure if this is just an off day or a permanent change. They have beer, wine, and cocktails but very bare bones N.A. options-- just 4 coke products. They were also out of some menu items based on nearby diners attempts to order. This is a super small spot, it does not belong on Eaters list of top places to dine in CLT. You are better off waiting in line for Big Daddy's, I think need up there for a 2nd attempt at lunch and was much happier with the food and beverage quality. Service here was nice and fast, so no issues there, just wouldn't recommend going here for a bite.
