8 Best Fried Chicken Restaurants in Charlotte, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"For nearly 20 years, Mr. Charles’ Chicken & Fish has been a grand destination for soul food in Charlotte. Its newest location, on the edge of Uptown near Camp North End, has a sleek interior and an altogether more modern vibe, but that doesn’t mean the quality has suffered. Without a reservation, be prepared to wait — and wait — for a table, especially on Friday nights when there’s live music. But one bite of the effervescent fried chicken (which must be preceded by a plate of plump fried gizzards) will instantly make anyone want to come back." - Timothy DePeugh
