First time to visit the Brooks Sandwich House, found it on Yelp as we were close to Noda, as a family member is patronizing a local tattoo parlor this afternoon. They have been in business since 1973 and proclai they have the world's greatest burger. We met a man in line who saw we were from Kansas, and said this is a lot like Cozy Burgers in Salina, in terms of food, quality, and tradition. I went with the single cheeseburger "all the way," which includes mustard, onions, and chili. It definitely was delicious and I loved the kick in the chili. Next time, however, I will get a double cheeseburger for a little more quantity. Dad went with the fried bologna sandwich with cheese and mustard, and said it was delicious. We shared some fries, they were good, but not as remarkable as the cheeseburger.Definitely a noted Charlotte local spot famous for good reasons. Make sure you have cash, they do have an ATM literally right next to the cash register window, however, if you forget.

Still love this place. The best classic Carolina burger ever. Their chili truly makes it. They also have good breakfast sandwiches as well. Make sure you bring cash because it is cash-only. They have an ATM but you'll be charged a processing fee. Definitely one of the last Charlotte classics in town and I will be devastated when they leave us.

Aesthetic: Old school, no frills burger and hot dog post with a small menu full of classics. My Favorites: The chili dog with a cheer wine. Experience: This is one of those classic Charlotte staples that can't be missed. Both the burger and hot dog are delicious, and the chili makes them even better for me. I'm more of a chili dog person, and my husband enjoys the burgers here. The workers have been friendly when we've stopped by. I wish it wasn't cash only because I rarely carry cash, but they do have an ATM on site. I wish their hours were a bit later or on weekends, I feel like they'd be very busy if they catered to the later crowd as well. I'd recommend trying Brooks if you're looking for a solid classic hot dog or burger at a good price point.

One of my favorite spots for a quick lunch. Classic Charlotte, no frills, just good food and friendly staff. Always get the burger, all the way with fries. Usually not a wedge fry fan, but these are great. Hits the spot every time. Support local.

Worth the drive from the airport. Wonderful hotdogs with homemade special recipe chili on top. I would go there all the time if I was a local. Very busy because it's good

Where do I begin? This place has been on my list for years! It is a Charlotte institution that I fear may go the way of Zack's and Green's. The place is family owned with great service that is fast too. The burger I got was so so good. One of the best I have ever had, it's so easy to see why this place has been so popular for so long! Get there if you haven't before, it's worth it, especially to support a family business.

Ordered hot and cheese burger all the way with the intent to save the hot dog for later. I ate both and a fries right then because it was good. No unique flavors here, just the combination of mustard and slaw and chili and cheese on burger and dog was great.

I ordered the chili cheese dog and order of fries; to be honest, their not fries but potato wedges. I feel it's over prized (cash only). I was disappointed in a boiled (vs. steamed or charred) flimbsy dog (grocery store quality); the bun, while fresh (also likely grocery store) is not seeded or warmed. Their specialty is the chili and slaw; I only got chili (FYI, there's a little seasoning but no base sauce), cheese (sauce rather than grated:(), mustard, onion and tomato. The chili is not awful, but not what I expected. Being from Chicago, I probably should have known better but reviews were good and there was a line. Service and wait time was very good, ample barking, and there's no extra charge for tomato. Their okay when hungry and in a hurry.

I get this place has been around for over 50 years and has a loyal following. I found it average at best. Chili cheese dog was nothing special and the single cheeseburger all the way was just ok.
