| - A stone's throw from Bank of America Stadium (I would say a hail mary pass away, but no Panther's QB's could complete it), on 4th Street, is a little slice of Americana known as Green's Lunch. That is exactly what they serve. Lunch.
On the outskirts of the hustle and bustle portion of uptown proper and before you get to the over-priced parking lot farms that are smattered about the stadium area this little greasy spoon sits unassuming.
Upon walking in, the age of the booths and the wallpaper let you know that this place has been here awhile. At a glance, I recognized a "best of Charlotte" certificate from 1995. Was that REALLY 16 years ago?! Man....
The fare is basic. Hot dogs, burgers, BLTs, sandwiches, fries, onion rings, et cetera. Exactly what you expect them to accomplish with a two basket deep fryer, a griddle, and a fixins station of sorts.
They are known for their hot dogs. "All the way" means mustard, ketchup, chili, onions, and slaw. An extra 50 cents and you get some half slices of American cheese underneath all that. Not bad for a two buck dog.
I would recommend it if you are looking for something off the uptown beaten path, feel like abandoning dietary restrictions, keep some Tums in your desk, and have a pack of gum handy for the afternoon.
