The food court at the Charlotte airport is ok, and it surrounds the main atrium where at times the actually have people playing a piano, wifi, and rocking chairs as well as various bank teller machines. It is a happening place. The problem comes when trying to get food. There is a cinnamon bun place, a bbq place, and a couple of other places and that is about. Not nearly enough eating establishments to handle the thousands and thousands of travelers coming through the area. AND if you happen to be flying out on one of the early flights then good luck trying to actually get food because most of the places are not yet open. Other than that, it is ok. There are better places in the airport to eat, like down concourse E where there are a couple of nice places that I like to hang out before international flights, or down concourse B where there is a pretty good pizza place. But you have to stumble upon the places, as you will not find them in the food court.
