The Most Delicious Fast Food in Charlotte

Flip-a-Lo’s

★★★★☆ 3.9 (207) • $

"We've only ordered Flip A Loos through UberEats, and I can't being to explain the CHOKEHOLD the Flip a Loos fries with Flip n Gold have on me. I could literally eat this once a week. Their Buffalo chicken wrap is also phenomenal, perfectly wrapped with all the ingredients you want in a wrap. I will say the wings are a little smaller than other wing places locally, but the flavor is always on point! I would say the food is consistently delicious, especially these fries"

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

★★☆☆☆ 1.7 (22)

"Ordered a Wing combo and got 1 flat and five drums. I've reconciled myself to these wingettes posing as wings and not getting my wing tip but a wing has two parts. I prefer the flat. I at least want half and half cause that's what wings are."

US Fried Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.6 (80) • $

"I decided to DoorDash from US Fried Chicken since I never had them before I ordered quarter dark with fries and Jamaican patty. The chicken was okay and the patty no real treat very basic like it had been under a heat light. I think this order was my first and last one."

Dairi-O - Clemmons

★★★★☆ 3.8 (105) • $

"Dairi-O is a local favorite!Food is always fresh and hot and I have yet to find something I don't like on the menu. Their burgers and hotdogs are amazing and they have several topping options to choose from. Chili is great quality as well.I often time get the chicken strips-they're white breast chicken and not full of fillers like what you'd imagine at a fast food restaurant. The homemade ranch is also a showstopper.Definitely stop by, you won't be disappointed. This location is consistently great and is conveniently located."

Cook Out

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (41) • $

"I've gotten take out twice here since we moved to Denver back in July but what do you expect during a Covid Pandemic. Had a lot of take out since last March.It's pretty much like the other Cook Out restaurants in the chain. Did not have to wait long to place my order but then again, this is one of the least busy stores in the Chain.Order was correct and I ate it when I got home about 5 minutes later.I like Cook Out because it reminds me of the burgers my Father used to cook on an old Char Coal grill back when I was a teenage.Fries need some work because they are overly soggy and greasy. Needs a bit more salt as well.All in all, as far as other drive throughs in Denver, this is one of the best. Other fast food restaurants in the area are exceptionally slow.This one at least moves."

Gregg's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.7 (27)

"First time visiting Gregg's Kitchen. I met a friend for a quick lunch. Gregg's was really hopping during midweek lunch, which is a good sign. Kimberly was our server and she was direct and moving fast, which I like. Really on point. I got the Mushroom swiss burger and fries. The fries were cooked just right and had the tasty, crunchy outsides. The burger was good too, a little wet, but sloppy is a good sign. The flavor was fine and it was cooked to well-done all the way through.My friend got a plate of breakfast stuff: eggs, sausage, french toast etc. He said it was decent.Seems pretty simple! Go in, order food, eat, leave. I hate we had to rush out, but I think Gregg's will be worth trying again."

Freakshows Burger, Wings And Burritos

★★★★★ 4.6 (18)

"The wagyu island heat burger was great. I also enjoyed the fries. The cashier was super friendly and had lots of info regarding the menu. Clean place that feels like a club from the 90s."

Culver's

★★★★☆ 3.9 (27)

"My favorite is the mushroom Swiss burger. Then a blueberry heath toffee small concrete mixer.Would I come back? Several times.Recommend to family and friends? Definitely"

The Spot

★★★★☆ 4 (8)

"A good time - YESGood customer service - YESFamily owned and also treats you like family - YESI went on a Friday night which was Karaoke night. The drinks were flowing and some good singing was being done. They also have hookah. I will totally return the next time I'm in the Charlotte/Monroe area."

Carolina Fried Chicken

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (20) • $

"Omg this is some of the best fried chicken I've EVER had! The cole slaw was also DELICIOUS. Oh and so was the fried squash. The fried shroom app is good but you should order that as an appetizer first because the are super hot. They didn't come with a dipping sauce though. Hubby had the pinto beans as a side and devoured them si I guess they too were yummy. This is a no frills, seat yourself kinda place. But it's really good food at really good prices. Can't wait to go back."

What-A-Burger #13

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (14)

"Great burgers and fries! I always have to get a cherry lemon sundrop to drink! Customer service is always polite. Can't beat a small town burger joint"

Dixie Express

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (46) • $

"Dixie Express is a surprise drive-thru from your first visit.For the money a decent hot dog right off.A good burger with just about any topping you want.Dixie Express offers a big list of milkshakes and each week is a different shake special.Now back to their food.Hot dog has a good chili on it.The meat on the burgers are good also.Normally I get Let-Tom-mayo-pickle.Dixie Express has good fries.Sometimes we get the Apple sticks and caramel dipping sauce as a dessert on the way down the road.Good price and quick service on our visit.We sometimes get their Onion Rings which are as good as they come.My wife will sometimes get their chicken tenders and fries.For a drive thru food is good as it gets."

Chicken Ranch

★★★★☆ 4 (45) • $$

"I ordered takeout a couple of months ago and wanted fish and shrimp. The employee at the register was very nice. The owner also helped with the order so I could get the cheapest deal based on their menu. There was a little wait, but it wasn't an issue considering the size of the order. The portions of food in the plates was huge and everything tasted delicious! I will definitely go back for more."

Fish & Chix

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"My husband and I have been going here for several years and should have written a review long time ago. Since it's the only decent place in town of Chester to eat, after reading reviews in BoJ and Taco Hell, I'm glad we found it! Good food and always pleasant people. Sometimes the girls are a bit unprofessional but, at least they serve you! We do not know how many of the places in Chester are still operating. They should be shut down and let the good places serve the public."

Wings and Things

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (13)

"Caught this place by chance was going get some tacos next door, went here instead. Very friendly employees very clean inside. Mask and social distance observed. Order cheeseburger with fries and lemon pepper wings. Burger was good, wings very crispy outside nicely cooked inside. Will be back to try other items on menu. Recommend to anyone who is hungry. Give this place a try, support small local business. Saw pictures of funnel cake fries i gotta try next time I visit for sure."

Cook Out

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (28)

"First time going to this location of Cook Out, and I would rate it one of the better ones. I used to frequent Cook Out for late night snacks or a shake during college. Now, I go for a good fast food burger where I can get some crazy awesome things as my sides. I mean who can go somewhere and get a corndog or quesadilla as your side? My favorite sides though are the seasoned fries, onion rings, hushpuppies, and quesadilla. I will say I am not a huge fan of the grilled chicken sandwiches. I like the shakes, but you have to know ahead of time they are more like a Wendy's frosty in that they are thicker and pretty challenging to drink from a straw. They are still really really good though. I like the M&M one and sometimes get the peach one, too. The one thing that can be good or bad is this location serves their trays in paperboard boxes rather than the classic styrofoam boxes. I love they are helping the environment but do miss the nostalgia of the old boxes. Overall, this location is clean and quite busy which is always good to see."

Gogo Empanadas

★★★★☆ 4.1 (93) • $

"I was very impressed with the empanadas. We had several of the empanadas we tried different ones. The beans were really good seasoned well and to tostones were light and crispy. They give you several sauces to try my favorite is the pineapple one . We also tried 3 desert ones the apple an Nutella a peanut butter my favorite. I would have given them a 5+ but service was not good along with the language barrier. They labeled 1 wrong for us another one we didn't get. It was a little struggle bus trying to the server to understand what we were telling her. I'll be back now I know what to expect:)"

The grille

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (6)

"Try the sausage dog all the way and bacon cheddar fries was delicious. I'm definitely going to order again."

Golden China

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (48) • $

"Like many establishments, Golden China has gotten a bad rap as of late due to the unfortunate COVID-19 challenges, but don't always believe everything you hear. Always fast, friendly, accommodating service and delicious food. They are always willing to fix a mistake and then some if necessary. My orders are always plentiful and delicious and fairly priced. Keep doing you Golden China!"

Subway

★★☆☆☆ 1.6 (8)

"I've had descent experiences here. My food is always consistent. It's what is on par with other Subways. The ingredients were fresh. The employee was talkative and friendly. My wrap was made correctly and to order. They have a 99.0 sanitation grade. If I'm considering Subway I have no problem going to this location!"

The Cookin Coop

★★★★☆ 4.4 (5)

"I am all about breakfast food and it is great that somebody in town took the initiative to put some darn good breakfast food on a truck! The food was absolutely superb! I had the Veggie hash and the Stuffed French Toast Bites. I was hesitant to get the hash at first because I am not a big fan of beets... But it was a great impulse decision. The roasted beets were like none that I've ever had. If I could have beets prepared in that fashion everyday, they might be my favorite food! The hash was great and all, but the Stuffed French Toast was by far my favorite. The banana foster was perfect! I could have eaten it by itself. Each bite had a perfect texture and I loved the addition of the cinnamon toast crunch cereal! These things are a must have!"

China Go Go

★★★★☆ 3.6 (39) • $

"Tonight was my 2nd visit. The 1st visit was very good. This time not so much. I ordered crab Rangoons. They were warm inside and crispy outside. We also got the spring rolls. Crispy but inside bland. Our main dish was sesame chicken. Half Lo-Mein. The other fried rice. The noodles have a bad aftertaste and they were very dry. The fried rice was just ok. I'm a little disappointed because the first visit I really enjoyed. I probably won't return. Sorry"

Sake Express

★★★★☆ 3.7 (40) • $

"I got the noodles with steak. Very good. Pull up in drive thru. Quick Inside is dated. Not a goodPlace for date night. Service is fast and consistent. Highly recommend when craving asian food. Not expensive"

Country Diner

★★★★★ 4.7 (20) • $

"Great diner with friendly service. Definitely a local restaurant. Would certainly recommend"

Crossroads Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (21)

"This little drive-in in has some pretty solid food - burgers, hot dogs, and fries especially. And they sell a lot of burgers and hot dogs, not an easy task when your competition is Johnson's Drive-In and Chris' Drive-In. They have no inside seating, but some outside tables are available, and you order at the drive through or a walk up window.The hot dog here is especially nice - and on an advertising sign between Pittsboro and Siler City, the restaurant proudly proclaims their hot dog is the best in the area - I don't agree with that statement (Johnson's is better, and Chris' is at least as good). But is is a very nice chili dog.The cheeseburger is solid, as well, but it is not in Johnson's class - and for a diner style burger, no one else is in that class either! The fries are very good, none of the ridged, rectangular mess. They also serve breakfast, but I've not tried anything on that menu. You could do much worse than pop in here for a chili dog or two, especially if Johnson's is closed, and they close at 2 PM."

What-A-Burger 1

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (32) • $

"In the area looking for something to do and started feeling a little snacky. W-A-B is one of those places you don't see 'em until you stop once and then you can't help but see 'em everywhere.Pulled in, parked away from the canopy, and went inside. Order at the counter to the right and seating options include cushy booths inside, patio furniture on the patio, or go back to your car...Was thinking about breakfast but since it was lunch time I went with what-a-salisbury: 4" burger on a 5" bun with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and a pickle on top plus fries and a red soda. Hard to complain about a complete lunch for less than $10 american with change back for pinball if there was pinball and a short draft if there was beer but there's neither so leave'em a buck."

Biscuitville

★★★★☆ 4 (24) • $

"OMG! We were about to go to Wendy's for breakfast until I seen this place. Bologna biscuit and cheese grits were so GOOD! What made me fall in love with this place even more, I went inside and seen the window of them making your biscuits HOMEMADE near the register! You guys need to come to Atlanta and put Chic-fil-A out of business (so overrated)! We will definitely be stopping back through, on the next road trip."

Five Guys

★★★★☆ 3.9 (11) • $$

"This restaurant is located in a brand new building. Everything is fresh and clean. The inside is brightly lit with bright white and red ceramic tile walls. The parking lot is freshly paved. I have eaten at a Five Guys before so I knew what to expect and what to order. I ordered a little cheeseburger all the way- as did my date. We split a regular order of fries. The little cheeseburger is NOT little. It was big enough for me. The fries here are really good. They are fresh cut potatoes. They keep their potatoes in the dining area still in their original bags. Another table ordered a milkshake that looked really good. My food was delicious. The place was clean. The employees were nice. This place met or exceeded my expectations."

Tenders Fresh Food

★★★★☆ 4.2 (441) • $

"The food and service were great. The ambiance was casual and you get your food fast and with friendly customer service. I recommend for a good, quick lunch."

Mutzies Burgers and Fries

★★★★☆ 3.6 (47) • $

"It wasn't knock your socks off, buts a better burger than fast food. Staff was exceptionally friendly and we didn't mind the wait for the made fresh to order food."

Butch's BBQ & Breakfast

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (71) • $

"The food was awesome! Great pulled pork, chicken tenders, smoked chicken, baked beans, cold slaw, and everything else!!"

Culver's

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (83)

"This place is great for fast food and custard. I went after a dance for my daughter, and she was all about the cheese curds and sauce, and the CUSTARD of course! They usually have k think vanilla, chocolate and a special flavor of the day. The staff was very sweet and friendly, definitely a great place to take kids and the family."

D'Anna's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (62) • $

"Good size portions. Really nice staff. Kinda loud at times but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Overall, it's great. Portions are absolutely appropriate too."

Smashburger

★★★☆☆ 3 (42)

"Hidden within the overpopulated, overpriced eateries in Charlotte International Airport, Smashburger doesn't do much to stand out. But if you should happen to stop here, your tastes buds will quickly alert you that something is wonderfully different! First, you may be waiting a bit longer for your food. About seven to 10 minutes. Each order is made fresh. I ordered a turkey single. It was a nice sized sandwich, and was served hot, lightly seasoned, juicy with crunchy, tart pickles, fresh onions, ripe red tomatoes and crisp lettuce. My husband's fries were hot and just delicious. Service was "smashtastic," so very polite and patient. We had never eaten there before and took a moment to decide what we wanted. In the end, we paid just over $25 bucks for a turkey burger, a chicken sandwich, one fry and a bottled drink, but in the weird space of airport food offerings somehow it didn't seem so bad. I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again."

Field Of Greens

★★★★☆ 3.5 (65) • $

"I just wanted a salad. I don't know why. I don't like salad generally. After eating this salad I remember why. It was a good salad. Lots of cheese and egg. Good turkey panini. Good bread in general.I just keep forgetting that I don't like salad. But if you do, you should definitely come here. They have lots of it."
