I tried out 1897 Market on a recent layover at CLT airport. I was grumpy and just wanted something to eat. I tried the sushi place, but the line was too long for my 1 hr connection. Getting increasingly frustrated, I stumbled into 1897 Market and was amazed by its size and great energy. I was immediately seated and my waitress had my iced tea in under 5 min. There is also grab and go seating for when it is crowded. It is like a fully stocked c-store with a restaurant! My mood suddenly started to lighten up!
I tried to be semi healthy and went with the carved turkey cobb. This was an amazing salad!!! It was loaded with some of the best turkey I can remember. The sharp blue cheese, crispy bacon, egg and yummy croutons all mixed into a wonderful combination that was anything but an ordinary salad. It was a big salad, but the tiny portion of iceberg lettuce reassured me that this was a healthy choice. The large menu contains sandwiches, salads, BBQ, mac and cheese along with some pretty good looking pizzas.
My server was really good! She kept refills coming on iced tea and had a huge smile. The whole experience was great from start to finish - I highly recommend 1897 Market! This is my new go to spot when travelling to Charlotte Airport.
