| - It's not the most incredible Bojangles I've ever had, but it works great in a pinch and especially when considering the other airport food options. Yes, the lines can be annoying here, service can be a bit forgetful with one's order, and the prices are naturally higher by virtue of being in CLT. Sometimes the need for fried chicken will best all of these issues and considering there is no Bojangles where I call home, this is sometimes the best compromise I can make.
The premise is simple. Wait in line, figure out the simplified menu, and order, as quickly as possible. If it's past 4pm, be prepared to be told certain items are no longer available. Take advantage of when there is no line and know that seating is going to be limited but at least the turnover is quick.
Also know the average dinner combination will run one about $10. Know your drink ahead of time and if you're down with the fatness, Bo-size the combo for an additional 79 cents. Don't bother with the mediocre Cajun Pintos (beans), Cole Slaw as side options. Consider the Dirty Rice or Mash when in doubt, but the seasoned fries will always be in their own category.
When I'm feeling lazy, I'm rocking a Chicken Rice Bowl ($8), which is very KFC-esque and if I'm feeling nostalgic, I'll shoot for the 4 piece tenders ($9). Breakfast is served at all times, which is nice. The biscuits are awesome on their best days, but bricks on their worst.
Beware, the salads are not worthy. It's either not enough meat and greens or too much meat and not enough greens. I can't speak highly of the sandwiches either but they're solid for people who enjoy a good bun. I prefer to slice the biscuits in half and stick a piece of chicken in there somewhere and slater in some of their infamous hot sauce. It's really food coma inducing, especially prior to a flight.
Lastly this is all the way in Terminal B (B9, to be specific). If you're lucky, the flight might just land in the same corner. If not, you'll have to trot past the main food court in the middle of the airport and head over to this spot. Do not come here in a hurry. There is a chance it'll be awhile before your food is actually ready.
