Time to update ye old Green's Lunch review.
I've been coming here for almost 11 years. My seven year old fake nephew loves this place. He's a real kid, we're just not actually related. This is what happens when you're my age and all your friends have kids. You become Aunt Nikki. And I love every minute about it.
There's nothing fancy here. It's not the best food on the planet. It's an old-school, Charlotte institutions serving up burgers, dogs and fries since 1926. Order at the counter then walk over to pay at the register. There are booths and stools with a lunch counter. Ketchup, Texas Pete, and napkins are on all the tables.
You can't beat the prices. Three adults and a child we spent $29 on lunch today. The kid had a hot dog and fries, the adults had three grilled cheeses, three chili dogs, a cheeseburger and chili cheese fries. Yes, we're those people. Add on a couple drinks and that's quite a meal for less than 30 bucks.
They do breakfast here. There's a Green's lunch cart over at the Wells Fargo Plaza. They also offer catering.
Things to know:
1) They have the good ice
2) Free WiFi
3) Skip the parking lots around it. Look for street parking at the meters on Poplar. Download the Parkmobile app and it's as easy as scanning the meter to pay.
4) Romare Bearden is right across the street. Go for a walk in the park afterwards or let the kids play. We usually take the seven year old over before or after lunch to play catch or kickball.
5) Closed on Sundays unless the Panthers are playing at home
6) They're open for Knights home games until 7pm
