Worthy successor to the Good Wurst Co. location. Had a Carolina Burger (single) for lunch and it was quite good. Large and filling, freshly made to order. It is pretty hard to find a good Carolina style burger in CLT anymore, but this one was pretty good. My favorite Carolina burgers have thin meat patties- 2.5 ounce typically-and a good char from the flat top. These guys are using a thicker pattie that is 3.5 to 4 ounces, I think, and it is missing the char. The chili is pretty good- I think it may have ketchup in it, which is traditional, but it may have just a smidgen too much in it, due to a faint ketchup flavor note that one does not really want. But the chili was meaty and otherwise seasoned well. The slaw was freshly made, with larger shreds than many traditional pool rooms and sandwich shops, but it had a great flavor next to the yellow mustard. The cut surfaces of the bun were apparently toasted on the grill, which was a nice and well-appreciated touch. The onions were sweet and freshly chopped. All in all it was a good burger that I would order again.
I hope these guys succeed. Charlotte has lost a lot of great little burger and hot dog spots in recent years--Art's, Mr. K's, Spoons, etc., and we need these places.
