A Football Fans' Guide to Food in Charlotte, North Carolina
"Slink away from the bustle of the stadium, but keep the game day spirit within reach at Lincoln Street Kitchen and Cocktails in South End. Walkable to the stadium, this airy, sun-drenched restaurant is casual enough to rep a jersey but nice enough to feel like a relief from rowdy dives. Menu highlights include Waygu tartare, steak frites, and a house pimento cheese appetizer, and the plush challah toast with berries and ricotta at brunch is a sweet-tooth satiator. The rooftop patio here, flaunting the Carolina blue sky, is one of the city’s hidden gems. As is Lincoln Street’s sneaky high-end bar, The Green Room, tucked behind a sliding door at the host stand." - Kayleigh Ruller
