| - Fuddruckers isn't a new concept. In fact, I think this location specifically has been here since I've been in Charlotte, and that is not a short period of time. To their credit, they tried to make the "better burger" concept, they were just a bit too early to the boat - and they didn't do a terribly good job at it - people wanted a better burger (witness Five Guys, Freddy's, Smashburger, etc) after all, they just didn't want the Fuddruckers version of it, at least for long.
The idea is great, especially 20-25 years ago. Now, the whole thing is just tired, and you get the feel when you go in and there are about three people in there. It isn't that it's bad, exactly, it's just that it's not that great. Sort of like the burger that time forgot. I almost expected a sleestack to come out from around one of the brick columns in the place.
Too bad, really, because the Fudd could have been the first to take on the fast food burger places, since they had the early jump on the concept.
