1897 Market

Have to give a lower rating than the overall rating of this CLT airport dining spot. Service and food average. Waitress responded and brought fresh out food after delay in getting lunch. Bloody Marty was sweet, but good! Fried chicken and burger were just OK. Decent place where there are few options.

I never write reviews, but… The host told me there would be a 30-60 minute wait when he put my name on the 1-person list. There were four empty tables behind him that weren’t bussed. 5 minutes later, he seats me at the back with a waiter who literally grunted at me and threw down a menu where half the type was worn away and illegible. Ignored my gut but listened to my stomach, so I stayed. A woman walked out saying she was “Done with this s-“. I order a beer and steak frites. It arrived cold, but since it took him 5 more minutes to bring me dripping wet silverware with no napkin, it may have been served warmer than I could really check. It was three cold, gray slices of skirt(?) on a bed of pale white fires, served with a 1 oz plastic cup of sauce. It was cold. A bite tasted moldy. I pushed the almost entirely uneaten food away and asked for the check. Still not even a single sentence from the waiter. Definitely no “How was everything?” since I was leaving nearly entirely uneaten food. He slapped down the bill. While signing (and leaving 10% despite everything), the host was speaking with two other waiters. He told them there were people waiting to get in, and they pointed to all the empty tables saying put them back here. I told one of the waiters I was quoted a 30-60 minute wait, and he couldn’t believe it. Avoid this place at all costs. Starvation is the preferred option.

I’ve eaten there several times and I have to say their brick oven pizza is absolutely delicious. I can’t say the same for some of the other items. They can’t seem to get the salmon done right. The salmon came undercooked and unfortunately I could not go back to re-do it because I had to catch my flight. The salmon is a really good portion and with thickness. It needed to be cooked a little bit longer because it’s so thick. I was so disappointed because had it been cooked all the way, it would have been delicious. The seasoning was just right. I could not reach anyone to get reimbursed for it. I even tipped them for a good service in advance. Make sure if you order the salmon, to ask for it to be cooked a little bit longer. It’s an expensive meal to not have it done correctly. The staff however is very nice and pleasant and I really love the atmosphere. Ample seating and a variety of snacks and food items.

As you expect (and what I still do not understand) airport pricing is ridiculous. This will have me start fasting during travel days because the service is always poor. Generally not due to the server themselves but the lack of care the resturant has as a whole. Menus were barely readable in some portions, tap water tasted bad (not the worst I had....cough....cough...Folrida), drinks were at least $7 over priced...a single drink with alcohol should not be more than over half the menu....and the food items were over priced by at least $5. I asked for a military discount and they applied it to my bill...but I was forced to pay my bill using the QR code which was not reflecting the discount...so I wrote the checkout company as this is their fault not the resturant. The food was average, nothing special, it wasn't to die for, it was....food. I had gotten the brisket mac n cheese, because you know im I NC. Honestly, I would just pray you dont have any layovers and just eat st your destination, fast if you must. It was $55 for 1 drink and 1 entrée for 1 person.

Horrific customer service. Service was already slow but I let that go. I used the online menu that you could scan from signs all over the bar. I asked the bartender for the “$15 grilled chicken sandwich and salad” which is exactly as it was listed on the menu. $15.99 for sandwich and salad. Service took forever and when she charged me, I could see that she charged me for some other $18 sandwich and a separate side salad. Which just was not what I asked for. I explained to her that it wasn’t what I ordered and she yelled at me and told me that I should have read the paper menu that was “right in front of my face”. When I explained the online menu clearly listed something different, she said she couldn’t control the menu and I should take it up with corporate and that she “wasn’t going to argue with me”. She kept raising her voice at me in front of the entire bar and I had no option but to give her my card because I also had to catch my flight. Frankly her behavior was disturbing. When she returned my card, I could see that the total amount was $10 more than the cost of my sandwich, which just seemed oddly high. I thought it was more than the total I had just seen on the initial itemized receipt. I hadn’t memorized the breakdown from the itemized receipt, so i asked for an itemized receipt again. She dismissed me and said she would need to have her manager do it, as she continued printing receipts for everyone. I had no choice but to leave and almost missed my flight after dealing with her hostile attitude, and I never got an itemized receipt so I have no idea what I paid for and I have every reason to believe she added to the price of my order because she was upset. This was insane behavior and I have never been so robbed by a low quality bar over a stupid chicken sandwich. Zero stars.

Best Shrimp n Grits I have had. Tough to get good shrimp n grits north of the Mason Dixon line where I live in NJ. Last time I was here was 8 years ago and it was just as good this time. Had a 3 hour layover. Wife had the salmon Caesar. Also very good. Quick and friendly service. Clean place. Not cheap. But what do you want, it’s an airport restaurant. Your trapped between flight. ✈️

We all know the bar for airport dining is low — but 1897 manages to drag it even lower. Think bland, cafeteria-style food with a sad sprinkle of Parmesan on top, passed off as “gourmet.” The service? Equally painful. The poor host was left to do everything — seat guests, take orders, run food, and close checks. Meanwhile, I asked two other employees for help (twice), and both acted like I’d just ruined their day. They barely responded, clearly irritated by the fact that I dared speak to them. The food was so questionable, I stopped eating halfway through — I didn’t trust my stomach to survive the next flight. Do yourself a favor and skip this place.

Jun 2025 update. Still here, still great food, but dont be in a hurry. Hungry? Have more than an hour layover? This is a sit down restaurant on the Charlotte airport main concourse. They have an express deli section for grab and go foods like sandwiches and personal pizzas, but the sit down area has great food. We tried the grilled brussel sprouts on a whim and we were pleasantly surprised. They were almost crunchy and served with several ingredients mixed in. My wife had a huge burger and we also shared some chicken strips. The bill came to more than $50 with the tip. Most dishes are $15-$20, but it's an airport, so you expect high prices. This is a much better choice than all of the fast food chains.

Great service and a nice breakfast! Had a bit of a layover so opted for a sit-down breakfast. Lots of options in Charlotte's airport, and I fly through Charlotte a good bit so wanted to try something different. Found 1897 on Yelp, read some reviews and made my way to the restaurant. I ordered a mimosa and a mushroom and spinach omelette but substituted the home fries for sausage. The mushrooms were so good. I didn't eat the entire omelette but dug through to make sure I got all the mushrooms. The sausage was like smoked sausage and not breakfast sausage. I ate about half of it. Everything was good. I made a point of telling the kitchen staff my breakfast was great. Bet they don't get much praise but they deserve it. Nice job, kitchen staff!

There's not much to choose from in the Charlotte Airport, especially if your leaving early in the morning. the 1897 Market is one of the few options available. I'm not inferring that is is a good option, but it was open, and thus the defacto choice. We've eaten here many times on our way to or back from Curacao. We've tried eggs, pizza, burgers and more. They have both table service and self service sections. The food is okay for an airport, but not nearly as good as Legal Seafood for example. That said, if you're connecting at 8pm, this might be one of the best options available.

Chewiest fried chicken breasts ever? Maybe. Tiniest sampling of cole slaw too? Yep. Mashed pots deliver butter, so yum. Kindly, waiter brought more hot sauce to ease meal along. Maybe try the shrimp with grits.

I stopped by and got a soda and a grilled three cheese and tomatoe panini. As you'd expect st an airport it was quite pricey. The sandwich was toasted up as I was paying for the soda and the sandwich, so it was nice and hot. Well, warm anyway by the time I got around to eating it but that's on me, not the restaurant. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and courteous which you don't always get at an airport so that was nice. The bread was good and it had a nice amount of cheese. I was expecting tomato slices but it was more like a marinara or pizza sauce inside the grilled cheese which was a bit unexpected.

Have to concur with the overall rating of this CLT airport dining spot. Service and food average. Waitress responded and brought fresh out food after delay in getting lunch. Bloody Marty was sweet, but good! Fried chicken and burger were just OK. Decent place where there are few options.

It was fine for airport food if you want some healthier options with better quality than normal. Service was quick.

Pizza was pretty good for what it was - precooked and reheated in the pizza oven, much like Sabarro at the mall. Definitely a difference between their sit down service and walk up. I had time to sit down but couldn't find the entrance. Seating was limited for walkups with the tables marked as "do not sit" for the walk ups. That was frustrating.

I like to give places a couple of tries, especially in airports. This place, 1897 Market, might be the most disappointed I've ever been. From the unwelcoming, bored to be there, and unfriendly hostess to the piles of leftover food on tables after guests have left, I recommend you avoid 1897M. Even after repeatedly being friendly and pleasant, the employees don't give a hoot, which is not the word I wanted to use. The concept of a restaurant up front, and marketplace in the environment is very smart. However, it is clear that employees don't get any training on customer relations. Many of the charging stations, which would normally be an attractive option for a meal, don't work!! And many employees simply walk around, chit-chatting with other employees. This place could be so much more. Until someone who makes decisions gets a clue and offers some basic general manager training, this place will continue to fail to meet the low standard that even most of the other offerings in CLT airport sink down to. Overall, an embarrassment to the company. Avoid at all costs!

This is a nice restaurant at the CLT airport near the B Concourse. Our server was Panhia and she was great!! Very friendly and patient. The food was really good if you can get past the airport prices $$. The Brussel Sprouts were amazing!!!!! I'd definitely order them again.

They need to improve on their espresso martinis, $21 for the worst espresso martini I've seen and had. It taste like cheap chocolate cake. But other than that the servers were nice and the food LOOKED good.

Was looking for a sandwich to take on my flight Their deli case sandwiches looked like they got hit by a truck

Oh, where do I begin with my delightful misadventure at this restaurant? Picture this: I plop myself down at the bar, eagerly anticipating a culinary experience that would make my taste buds dance. Instead, I was greeted by the waitress/bartender, who seemed to be auditioning for the role of "Most Unbothered Server of the Year." As I settled in, she handed the person next to me a drink with such grace that I thought a royal decree was about to be read. I thought, "Fantastic! She'll be over here in a jiffy!" But alas, my optimism was met with a glass that could only be described as a relic from the last guest and a signed receipt--because nothing says "welcome" like a piece of paper with someone else's name on it, right? Fifteen minutes went by, and I found myself in a riveting game of "Count the Glasses" as she stacked and cleaned like it was the Olympic sport of the century. Finally, I decided it was time to break the ice and waved her down. I kindly pointed out that I was, in fact, not part of the glassware collection and requested a menu. Her response? A delightful attitude that could curdle milk. She handed me a menu as if it were a hot potato and I asked for a vodka lemonade. She must've thought I was ordering a unicorn, as she neglected to inquire about the vodka type. Imagine my surprise when I overheard her telling her co-worker that I was "rushing" her. Rushing? Sweetheart, I was merely attempting to survive in this desert of neglect! The patrons on either side of me promptly chimed in, confirming that I was not, in fact, the lone wolf in this wilderness of poor service. When my drink finally arrived, it was in a tall glass and tasted like a sad attempt at mixology. After two sips, I decided my taste buds deserved better than this liquid regret, so I moved on to the Parmesan fries, which, surprisingly, were a triumph! Kudos to the cook--clearly, someone in this establishment knows what they're doing. As I nibbled on my fries, a fellow diner was calling for their child, only to be met with the other bartender's unsolicited "Shut up." Ah yes, nothing screams "welcome to a fine dining experience" like a random outburst of rudeness in front of a crowd. In conclusion, as a seasoned traveler, I can confidently say this was the worst airport dining experience I've ever endured. From ill-fitting uniforms to a front-end staff that could use a lesson in basic hospitality, I implore anyone passing through Charlotte airport to steer clear of this culinary catastrophe. Save yourself! Your taste buds and sanity will thank you!

Am sad to have to update my five star review but I've been here twice in the past six weeks and both times have had really pathetic experiences with the hostess stand personnel. Zero energy. I stood in front of the young lady today for a good little while with zero acknowledgment and when she did finally decide to acknowledge my presence it was a lackluster and you-are-bothering-me vibe. Not at all welcoming. When she finally decided it was okay to seat me she dropped the menu on the table and walked away. I then witnessed the same interaction over and over with every customer after me. To the management of this establishment, you've got a service issue.

I wanted to try this place because the airport map states it was featured on food network. Waited about 10 minutes to be seated. You can scan QR code or wait for the server, probably faster to scan. I ordered Steak Frites (probably misspelled) I requested the steak be cooked "Medium", and I also got a sweet tea. This place was very busy. My food took about 30mins. My steak was overly well done, to the point that the meat was completely dried out. The only way I could eat it was to dip it in the gravy. I also saw my plate had a chip in it.. not really safe for someone if they had kids, the chipped part was quite sharp. I could have said something, but I was really hungry and didn't want to wait another 30 minutes, for a chance of it being corrected or not. The French fries were not great, like no flavor on them, even though they looked covered in Parmesan. I seen a few other people order food and when their food came out, they didn't have any silverware to eat it with, which took almost 5 mins for that to be delivered. Either they're under staffed or under trained. I'm going to assume under trained, because I did see someone that looked to be a manager, doing bare minimum to help out behind the cooking area. When it came time to try to get my check, it took me about 10 minutes to get someone's attention. The staff were very polite, just really slow. If you're on a time crunch, I don't recommend this place. I was quite disappointed, and won't try it again.

Came for breakfast before my flight. I wanted a big meal that was fresh cooked. The ambiance is really nice, it's very nicely decorated. The menu is decent wide for breakfast. After 10am the menu is much larger. Good came out fast. I got the breakfast My bread was ok, 3 half slices (so odd why not 4? Or just give 2?), but it was chewy. The eggs and potatoes were ok. No onions- that would be nice in the potatoes.. the sausage was very flavorful however I could not cut it. The knife is dull and the link casing was so thick I couldn't even chew it. It was frustrating. The coffee was decent. Good for sit down breakfast and service to you, but the food was decent. $23 for my breakfast

I ordered a Steakhouse Blue salad. To be honest, it was not good at all. The steak and fried onions are already cold when it was served. Even I wondered if it was already premade? I should have ordered the salmon salad instead (the salmon salad's reviews were pretty good), or even burgers or something else. Just stay away from the steak salad. It doesn't worth $20+. Also, don't expect any service other than getting what you order.

**AVOID THIS PLACE** The service was painfully slow, and the staff was even worse. I should have taken the hint from the previous guest's receipt left on my table--with a $0 tip. Benny didn't care and it showed. Save yourself the disappointment and eat elsewhere.

BBQ Shrimp & Grits - NOT BBQ shrimp. Despite the cooks admitting to *not barbecuing* the shrimp, they still pass off as BBQ - because "sauce". Tomatoes & oil, lots of garlic, not a hint of bbq flavoring. It was a lie. Lies continue: receipt says contact through code below - there's NO CODE. Manager: "sorry ma'am, new system", another lie; and "use the code on table", just can't stop - code was for menu/payment, no contact/review whatsoever. Rude waitstaff.

If you want food, don't go out of your way to get here. They have amazing pizzas if they have the food. 6 weeks ago they had a limited menu because they were changing it. Today they have a limited menu of no burgers or pizza and 2 of the 3 apps are out plus other items. Their excuse is they are getting a new menu. When I mentioned it happened last time I was here and that was the same reason, the bartender comments that this happens frequently being out of food. Absolutely ridiculous for this prime location and amazing pizzas to be out of food this often.

This review is for the 1897 restaurant in the Charlotte airport. I had a 3 hour layover in CLT due to the global IT meltdown that impacted Microsoft Azure Cloud and therefore it's client airlines and banks etc. This was one of the 2 sit down options in my terminal, and I could swear this location was a TGI Friday's in a former life. I took a seat at the bar which had a few openings. Service was very slow despite 2 bartenders, it took me 12 minutes to get a drink, a simple bloody Mary ( asked for Tito's and watched the woman pour well vodka into drink anyways!) I was road weary and didn't feel like arguing. No water given, and my menu she handed me was so worn out, I couldn't read half the items front or back. She had to look though 6-7 menus before finding a legible one! I decided on a burger, the Southern Burger, medium. I had very low expectations for this $20 cheeseburger. Asked for Onion rings vs fries, and she stated the onion rings are not very good and I'd be disappointed. Hmm.. ok. Burger was mid at best. It was a frozen Sysco Foods patty cooked to medium. Fries were skinny and decent sprinkled with Parmesan, no truffle taste at all (most likely false advertising). Asked for water and got a glass of tap water from a tepid pitcher, no ice. I'll never eat here again or get a drink. It's wicked overpriced and people are shocked when they get the bill and see the drink Costs that aren't printed on the menus. Same trick the garbage restaurants on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach pull if you've ever been there. Skip this place, there's better options in the terminal and in other terminals if you have the time to get to one!

Arrived here after a long delayed flight. Literally were traveling all day with no food because airlines do not feed you any more. It was evening perhaps 11:00 pm or close to it. Seated right away in a booth. I noticed the floors were quite dirty but it was late. When we were seated told by the waitress that the only thing we can get was burgers and fries. She said there's only one cook and "he's not gonna cook anything except burgers and fries". She literally tried to convince us to go to the Mexican restaurant on the other side of the plaza in the airport. So I asked if we could get onion rings instead of french fries and she says nope only burgers and fries. My mother has to have a gluten-free so we asked if we could have a burger with a lettuce wrap instead and she said no. But she would leave off the bun. Gee thanks. I ordered a beyond burger which is a vegetarian burger. So what do you suppose that the cook does? He turns it into a smash burger on the grill which all their burgers are smash burgers he smashed the absolute crap out of the burger to get it to cook in about two minutes. What did he do with my burger? He cooked my vegetarian burger in the meat grease from all the other burgers. When it came out it looked and smelled and tasted like an actual burger because it was full of meat grease. When I asked the wait if he had made me a regular burger or the beyond burger she said oh no that's the beyond burger and I said well how come it's greasy and she looks at me like I'm stupid and says it's from the grill. I know it was late and I know they didn't want to be there and they made it very obvious. My mom asked if she could get anything else besides french fries because their french fries are not gluten-free and the girl says no, so she literally brings my mom a piece of meat on a plate with a slice of tomato and one leaf of lettuce for the $20 that the burger cost. ridicuous. I had to go over the other side of the same market place and buy a fruit cup for another eight dollars. It's very unfortunate that Customer Service simply doesn't exist in this restaurant.

This place just doesn't get it. It's a restaurant, and also several self service kiosks, and also a couple of already prepared meal spots. Prices are OK for an airport, and the food isn't bad. But, really, there's no signage on where to eat. So, if you buy a sandwich, and go sit down, you're supposed to sit only in one section, a set of high top tables in the middle of the restaurant. No signs. But, in the middle of my 14.99 box salad, the server comes up to ask "do you know you're not supposed to eat there?". Well, if there had been a sign, or if the cashier had told me, I would know that. Instead, they stand, waiting for you to move. An airport is the last place to object or have a discussion about lack of signs, so, you're left to just, you know, move on. Clearly, they can do better. The airport has lots of other pretty good options, I'd suggest choosing some place else.

My child and I stopped by 1897 Market for a quick lunch en route to Memphis. The host wasn't at the desk and it was confusing were to go to be seated. We were seated promptly by the host after figuring out where the host stand was. Our server was efficient in taking our order. Opting for cheese pizza and BBQ shrimp and grits, I requested an extra side of shrimp due to the small portion. The initial shrimps were lacking, only six tiny pieces smh lol. I enjoyed a tasty lemon drop with Belvedere vodka. The fresh, flavorful pizza arrived hot, while the shrimp and grits exceeded expectations in taste and portion size. The cozy seating area was comfortable, though the temperature was chilly, typical for an airport setting.

I fly through CLT often for work and always look forward to stopping at 1897 because the food and drinks are excellent, but the service is so inconsistent that I may have to settle for something different on my next trip. My most recent visit to the location wasn't on a particularly busy travel day and the restaurant itself was maybe 1/3 to a 1/2 full, but the service was so slow you'd think it was the busiest day of the year. I had 2 hours to wait for my flight so I was not in a rush at all and had no problem with the 15 or so minutes it took to be seated, but it literally took 30 minutes for my server to bring water and even though I put my food in at that time an hour later I still was sitting with nothing but a glass of water. Now with only 30 minutes or so before boarding I left a few dollars just for the service and let the manager know I was leaving. They apologized that they were running behind that day, and while I'm completely understanding of that it was the lack of visit or communication from my server for almost an hour that really disappointed me. This was the 2nd time I've had to leave 1897 due to slow service, in fairness I've probably been to 1897 a half dozen times this year alone. Aside from service being inconsistent everything else about 1897 is great. The food is amazing (the burger with fried egg ) and drinks are equally impressive. The ambiance is pretty laid back and I enjoy spending an hour or so here with my laptop getting work done while relaxing with a drink.

I sat down at the bar at about 1230 on a Thursday afternoon. There were three people working at the bar after I waited 15 minutes for someone to take my order or to just simply acknowledge my existence. I got up and left.

The last 3 times I past through the airport. I tried to eat here. Stood at the front endlessly while every staff member just ignores us. It's unbelievable. I have a sense they just don't want too many customers. The place is about 25% full only today. I hope the owners/offsite managers read this. Your staff need a good shake up. Even shouted goodbye as I walked away. No reaction.

Ordered the steak salad for lunch. It was surprisingly better than what I was expecting! The steak was medium well but I didn't have high expectations. My waiter was also very nice

The food was pretty good quality, I had the Philly which came on ciabatta which was odd but still good flavor and fries were decent as well. The service though kind was very slow and if you have a quickish layover I would not recommend sitting down here. I was just one person and it took almost an hour and a half for the entire process. Near the aviary and a good place to hangout and enjoy a part of the airport that is light and airy.

Service was great, food was not. The brisket in my Southern Philly was very salty, and dry except for a huge chunk of gristle. No sign of cheese on the sandwich. The fries were lukewarm.

Pizza was horrible. Was just stale bread and cheese with no sauce. Two slices were just bread. The table beside me had the same experience and after mentioning it to the server, they comped the meal. But was too late to get more food before our flight as it takes forever to order and be served. It shouldn't have been served to begin with.

Cold potatoes, stale bread, cold eggs and cold bacon. Big price, low quality. Save yourself money and don't come here. Service was OK. Ambiance was OK. Will never return.

Went in and was seated immediately in very uncomfortable chair. Waited 15 minutes for a server. One server said she'd get my server but nothing changed. I left.

A pretty epic sandwich! Whenever I'm in North Carolina, I like to make sure I get some pimiento cheese. This time I had to wait until I got to the airport, but it was worth it. I had a chicken sandwich with sliced pickles and pimento cheese here that I'd go back for. Also, they served their wine and nice glasses. Upscale airport fare.

My server didn't really seem to care about the fact that my food was cold. He just said he'll let the kitchen know. Meal also lacked flavor. I felt forgotten about. I regret coming here to eat.

This is probably the biggest place to eat in the airport but I don't know if it the best. The location is spread out and they have a self serve food area so our area felt like a food court more than a restaurant. The service was sparse and rude. The burger was tasty but small and the fries were ok but were served like warm. I wish they had better food options at this airport!

Nice bar at the Charlotte, NC airport. A cool note was that I could order my alcoholic drink "to go" and walk with it anywhere in the airport

The service was impeccable. I got the Steak Fita. It was cooked perfectly and the steak was so tender, AMAZING. The unsweetened ice tea is delicious as well. My wife ordered the Cobb salad and it was delicious. We are so glad we stopped here.

The location is right before entering the B gates. The hostess will seat you. I didn't find the metal chairs comfortable but i had a flying pillow with me to help. The server came quickly and was friendly. There were nice choices and the coffee was very good. All of the food was fresh even though it took longer than expected to arrive. I would wait again. We were all pleasantly surprised to have such grab food at an airport. The grits were very good and so were the scrambled eggs. I'm told the buttermilk pancakes were excellent and the bacon very crispy. Would highly recommend and worth the cost.

Horrifying! Charge $17,99 for 3 frozen chicken tenders woth no sides. As a frequent traveler this is robbery, even for an airport.

I was super impressed with just about everything at the Charlotte Douglas Airport. I've traveled a lot and I felt like everything in the airport was great but I really appreciated the awesome food options at 1897 Market. I will say we couldn't get help in the area of the restaurant with seating but everyone in the Deli area was helpful, the food all looked incredible and I felt it was very fairly priced for the quality. We were there pretty early on a Tuesday and got our food within 5 minutes of ordering. Waited to eat til we were boarded and I was a little worried the lettuce would be hot and wilted but to my surprise it was perfect and hearty enough to hold me over through a stop in Chicago and then all the way to LAX. Hope I'll have an excuse to fly through Charlotte again sometime.

It's a step up from standard airport food with large TVs around and plenty of seating. This is one of those places that I like, for an airport. The service is above average and the bartender was friendly and amiable. The menu is focused on pub foods; burgers, salads, a chicken sandwich. Nothing you're going to be surprised by. Well-executed though! Beer is at least $10 a glass and the food is average even for the outside.

Such a great restaurant in the airport! I ordered the brussels sprouts and it was a huge serving. I was totally satisfied and it was nice to have healthy food.

Hey for an airport restaurant 1897 is solid!! I would suggest sitting at the bar if you can. I was a single so it was easy for me. The waitress/ bartender service was spot on very efficient. Hey I was happy since they had Crown Royal!! I'm not sure about previous reviewers but I ordered my lunch and it was out under 15 minutes with a full restaurant and a full bar! The drinks were great an solid pours!! The 1897 Chicken Sandwich was great but my only downgrade was I wanted more of that pimento cheese and chopped slaw on it, you went very skimpy on it! It is a great sandwich so showcase it and give me more!! The fries needed more crisp to them but well seasoned! Hey easy 4 Stars it can be a 5 but gotta showcase your signature sandwich!!

Me and wife always walk past this spot at CLT Airport and decided to try it out .. my wife ordered the Neese's Burger and subbed the pimento for cheddar .. I ordered the truffle chicken sandwich .. the neese's burger was cool to perfection as I couldn't get a picture my wife bodied it lol. The truffle chicken was good overall. The chicken patty was a little under seasoned for my liking but the mushrooms and cheese combo was a hit. The fries were overcooked but not terrible. Nice meal before we board our flight.

GET THE PANCAKES!! They are made in butter and have the most perfectly crisp edges. It's served with side pats of butter which you really don't need. They are buttery goodness all on their own. The sausage was another highlight. It's split and cooked. It isn't that spicy breakfast sausage si was expecting. It's more hot dog-esque and I liked it! The BLT omelet was pretty average and the how fries could have been seasoned better, either with just salt or some potato seasoning. The staff were super friendly and had that sweet Carolina charm, greeting with "darlin's" and "sweeties." Before opening at 0600, there was a line for this place. It has those quick diner vibes. The kitchen was putting out food super fast. We were impressed how fast people were getting their food right as they opened.

On my return trip home from Jamaica I stopped in for a bite on a lay over. There was a pretty large bar and some table seating in a courtyard setting. I ordered parmesan chicken tenders and crispy brussels sprouts. The brussel sprouts were delicious! The combination of honey, sherry vinegarette and caramelized onions was incredible. I would absolutely recommend this dish. The chicken tenders had a good flavor but they were a little crispy for me. But I ate them because I was hungry and I needed some protein lol. I would stop here again for a bite and a seltzer. The service was fast and friendly.

My spinach and mushroom omelet was tasty and warm. However, the wait staff never checked on It nor did she refill my drink. We watched plates sit under a lamp waiting to be picked up for at least 15-20 minutes. The person who was with me ordered eggs that came out cold. Once the manager walked through, the workers decided they needed to do better.

I've had worse meals at airports, but this one was a close second. The line at Chick-fil-A was incredibly long and I had a little time, so I thought I'd sit down for a meal at 1897 market at Charlotte...i really should've waited for Chick-fil-A. The beer showed up lukewarm. Never a good start. if an airport bar can't manage to get cold beer trouble is to follow. On the recommendation of the incredibly nice waitress, I ordered the truffle chicken sandwich with fries. French fries were beautiful and covered in Parmesan cheese, and cold. It's quite possible they were colder than the beer. The chicken was cold and was so tough and overcooked that I was unable to bite through it. So disappointing.

Been here a few times and generally the preferred spot at CLT for a drink/ meal. Ordered a Chardonnay and wings (don't judge) and the wings were great. Good size and not overcooked which seems to be a trend in my Charlotte eatery experience. Got the sweet and spicy Buffalo sauce and it was okay. I didn't love the sweet component and would have preferred the traditional Buffalo sauce. All said staff was friendly and like most airport bars the random social chatter at the bar was a nice addition. Will go back...
