They have the BEST burgers I have ever tasted. Everything tastes so fresh, they even have natural sodas! My first time trying it, the cashier was very helpful explaining the menu to me. Their simple sauce is soooo good. Every time I come to Charlotte, I will be stopping by Harriet's!

We chose this burger joint out of all the options at Optimist Hall because we saw someone had their fries and they looked fresh cut and yummy; they were! They are a smashed style patty and the buns are fresh and soft. The kids meal was a lot of food but the pull tab "gambling style" toy was weird. I didn't want to go back to the line to wait for the yo-yo I "won" (just put it in the box folks). Their system is great and efficient and the wait staff was especially friendly which was refreshing

This was my first time trying Harriet's Hamburgers. I was excited to try it after seeing the hype of it on social media.I went to the location at Optimist Hall so the space was clean, there was plentiful seating, and a casual yet modern vibe. Although we had minimal interaction, the staff was friendly, my food was prepared in a timely manner without error.I ordered the, "OG" Hamburger ($9.95, plus .50 cent each for lettuce and tomato) which came with double patty, buttery Parkerhouse bun, house-made crinkled cut pickles, marinated ribbon red onions, with Chef Brian's simple sauce.The burger was bigger than I thought it was going to be and very tasty. I definitely was impressed.

I finally made it to Optimist Park to try Harriet's. FYI, this is not the place to be if you're eating healthy or clean. This visit was about comfort food. I played it safe and just tried the cheeseburger and fries. I ended up munching on the fries in the car. I'm not sure why, but the taste of the food gave me a sense of nostalgia. I observed how the staff worked while I waited for my order. The orders were coming in and everyone seemed to work well together. I don't remember his name, but one gentleman was extra bubbly and engaging with me and others. I'm due for a return visit

Okay, I'm going to admit that it took convincing to get me to try Harriet's. I mean, I'm at Optimist Hall, I have all of these incredible options, why would I choose a burger? Because there's something magic in this burger that makes it different than any burger I've ever tasted! I don't know what it is, but I would like to bottle its essence and hold it close on a bad day. This is getting weird, but this burger is the real deal. Just try it, you'll get what I'm talking about.

Harriet's lives up to their tagline "hot and fast," with juicy, crispy patties. My go to order is the OG. Everything about this burger is perfection. I also enjoy the craft sodas and recommend mixing the black cherry and cola. I recommend ordering on Toast if it's busy time of day so you don't have to wait in line (plus rewards). My order has never been more than 10 minutes and usually is ready in less than 5. The staff is friendly and helpful. Optimist offers free parking for 90 minutes and does this automatically when you drive in and out if you've registered before. Good seating options throughout inside and out. Different times of day / of the week are busier than others for seating.

We've been following Harriet's on IG and finally got a chance to try it! There is no ambiance for the spot itself however it was in a food hall that was beautiful. The service was quick in ordering and picking up our food. The burger was like no other. It was juicy and well portioned. Very much worth the money. Will definitely be back.

I've finally tried Harriet's Hamburgers and wow this is one of my favorite burgers in the city. This food stall in Optimist Hall is a throwback to the classic fast food joints of old. Their menu is small and simple, but it can be because they do it so well. I got their OG burger which comes with two smash Pattie's, American cheese, as well as their specialty sauce. I can't stress how good this burger was enough! Also worth noting is that they seem to make their own sodas in house and their cherry cola was phenomenal! Overall despite being fairly new this place is already a classic in my mind.
