| - Could be a 4-star stop, but since it's in the main terminal of CLT, this spot gets FIVE stars. You could walk 50 feet and eat at Chili's, or you can get real food at Beaudevin. True, there are no prices on the posted menu board, but the waiter handed us a menu when we asked. Amazingly, prices are reasonable: our family of four ate for under $50 (no wine or drinks).
We arrived hungry, and everyone had plenty, so portions were fine. My open-face chicken sandwich was delicious, as was the Mediterranean Salad. Lots of veggie options. Bruschetta was delicious and served as a meal for one in our party, as did the charcuterie platter.
If you walk in the back entrance by the bathrooms, you'll see a sample of prepared plates, and a deli counter that shows the meats and cheeses they use... all decent eats.
Food came out quickly, which is a feat. Note that we were one of four tables when we landed, so YMMV. We were in/out in 45 minutes. There are no "chicken nugget" kiddie items on the menu... YAY! But, plenty of attainable and tasty options for everyone.
Next time I'm flying USAir thru Charlotte, this place will get another visit. Hopefully, other Yelpers will keep this place afloat. Only spots that rival this are in Terminal 2 @ SFO... with San Fran prices. A REAL WINNER here.
My only wish: that there were a couple high-end cultish or hard-to-find wines by the glass. Since Beaudevin has the fancy nitrogen wine dispensers, you can already get a lot of neat wines by the glass, like Caymus Cab. But there was nothing on the list I just had to try right then. Minor quibble.
