After a write up in the Charlotte Agenda naming Brooks as one of the places every Charlottean should try, I was intrigued and immediately put it on my list. I opted for a regular cheese burger (ketchup and mayo) only and an order of fries. The burger was juicy but otherwise no frills. Their fries are wedge cut fries that were fresh and delicious. A couple of things to note: they are CASH only. It is basically a walk up counter to order. They do not have seating. There is a large communal table under the protection of a pavilion. Many were eating in their cars. There is ample parking. They are only open Mon-Fri until 3:00 pm. All in all it was a cheap, quick lunch and I am glad I have finally dined at this local landmark; however, I do not see me having cravings for a Brooks burger.
