I mentioned in an earlier review that I used to live in Charlotte. When my ex and I started dating in 1985, he lived within walking distance. We were there at least 3 nights a week and the only way I was able to pay off my Visa bill was to move. They've always had a great drink selection and although I no longer eat beef, the burgers were the bomb. On my most recent visit I was happily greeted by Steve, a mainstay who still remembered me. I also revisited the fried pickles. Lightly fried, but enough to remind me that I probably needed to have only this one helping. The atmosphere is friendly and service fantastic. Such a comfortable and comforting place. This is my go-to spot anytime I am in uptown/downtown/anywhere in CLT.
