The 12 Hottest Restaurants in Charlotte, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Wieners, burgers, and sandwiches are so back — at least at Clark’s Snack Bar, and a lot of hungry Charlotteans think so. This red, blue, and retro cavern churns out kraut-ey kielbasas, pastrami on a plump housemate kaiser roll, and BECs (bacon, egg, and cheeses) on a steamy Montreal-style bagel. Layers of griddled onions and pickled veg pile high on the sandwiches, and it’s so Northeast. Here, play some darts while listening to the Grateful Dead-adjacent music setting the mood." - Kayleigh Ruller

Tried out Clark Snack Bar, one of the newer spots in Charlotte, and I was pleasantly surprised! I had the chicken cutlet and fries—simple but tasty, and really satisfying. Prices are very reasonable, and the whole place has a cozy, homey feel. Service was quick and easy, perfect for a casual meal. Only downside is the limited parking, but overall it’s a great low-key spot for comfort food without the fuss.

Wow wee!!! Love love Clark’s Snack Bar. The space is friendly and welcoming with some Grateful Dead vibes. There is also outdoor seating available and decent parking. The service is fantastic and friendly! Very easy to order and the food didn’t take long to come out! The best part was of course the food. There was an amazing selection of hot dogs, Sammie’s, burgers and sides!!!! We had the wedge salad- fresh and crispy with a delicious homemade blue cheese dressing! Of course we added bacon! I had the WEISSWURST melted swiss, tomato, pickled red onion, sweet pickle relish, and spicy ground Dijon. My bf had the JALAPENO CHEDDAR BRAT grilled peppers & onions and beer cheese sauce. We shared the fries with an egg on it! So crispy and well seasoned! We also shared the Clark Burger which was a double patty with this delicious sauce! The meat was amazingly delicious! We loved everything we had!!! Can’t wait to go back!

Decided to give some love to the new restaurant in an old familiar spot. I had the Clarks way burger, my daughter had the chicken sandwich. Both were cooked perfectly and filled us both up. The fries are extra, but were well worth the extra cost. It's just a no frills comfortable neighborhood spot. Looking forward to our next visit

Juicy, messy burgers? YES PLEASE! I tried probably one of the best burgers I’ve had in quite a long time here, it was flavorful, huge and juicy. I didn’t expect the burger to be so big and sad to say I couldn’t finish lol. I got the Clark burger, and it was just so incredible. I added the fresh cut fries as a side and a sweet tea, everything was literally on point. I went during my lunch break on a Monday abt 2p and wasn’t crowded but I can imagine normal lunch hours and wkends can be slammed. There are only abt 4-5 parking spaces in front but I believe there is a lot behind the building. Either way don’t walk, run to try them out!

Best bagels in Charlotte, and I’ve been searching for a while too. Genuinely made in-house, but only available on weekends from 9-2 (Learned that one the hard way). Otherwise, also incredible burgers and brats also made in-house. Cool vibes, just not enough parking. And for those of you from the Garden State, they have pork roll (Taylor Ham) on the menu.

New business doing it right. Staff was very cordial and welcoming. They checked on us multiple times throughout our dining experience. I got the Reuben that was probably the best I’ve ever had. My wife got the BLT that was very good as well. The Potato salad was just average and the pickles they give on the side are not my favorite, but I can see where some people may enjoy them. We also got a side of the kielbasa fries that were really good. Atmosphere is nice with good music. Clean. Bathrooms were clean. The food is not cheap but it is worth it. It’s nice to see a new business doing things well. This is a great spot and highly recommended.

I ordered the Carolina dog and chicken sandwich. Both are loaded with toppings. The Carolina dog is my favorite. Nice folks and cool place.

We used to frequent good wurst and were so bummed when it closed… but Clark’s took what worked at good wurst and improved it tremendously. We had an excellent lunch, the food was hot and fresh, great service, and I love the new interior! The Clarks burger is easily my favorite burger in town.

Finally made it to Clark's Snack Bar--and as a bratwurst lover, I had high hopes. I was curious to see what took over The Good Wurst, and Clark's has been on my list ever since. I grew up in Wisconsin, so my bratwurst standards are very specific: beer-braised, no ketchup nonsense, just sautéed peppers and onions. That's exactly how I ordered it--and it was beautifully done. Juicy, flavorful, with just enough snap in the casing. Pure comfort in a bun. I paired it with a side of tater tots, which unfortunately missed the mark. They were overly salty--after about five, I couldn't go any further. I didn't send them back, mostly because I didn't feel like the back-and-forth, but I'd skip them next time. The space itself is casual, unfussy, and perfect for a quick bite or low-key hang. No pretense--just good sausages done right (and I say that as someone who's picky about them). I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

We stopped here to enjoy lunch on a Saturday. We were promptly greeted and given some suggestions after telling cashier it was my first time. I kept it simple and ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate shake. My cheeseburger was pleasing to the eye but not my tastebuds. It was dry and bland. The fries were very good though. And the shake..the shake was nothing special. It just tasted like chocolate ice cream in a small cup! I was expecting something delicious considering it was almost $7! I do not feel the quality of the food was worth the price. I will not be returning.

The customer service was good. My review is just based off of the fish sandwich. I went on Friday July 4th and got the fish. The size was good but they left my fish in the grease too long. It was a few seconds from being unbeatable. It was damn near burnt, I ate about half of it. I went here because it's close to the house and I liked the food I saw in the pics. I am going back because they got some great looking burgers and I will update my review when I do but this one is just based on the fish. I won't order that again.

My friend and I were out exploring a nearby market when we stumbled upon this new spot on Yelp! Given that it was new restaurant, we were excited to try it out. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with warm smiles and loads of menu options. Inside decor gives a modern diner vibes, very spacious and loads of windows for nice lightening. They also had plenty of seating outside as well. Parking is also available in the front of the restaurant. My friend and I ordered two cheeseburgers with fries plus a chocolate chip cookie. The burgers were fantastic - flavorful, juicy, and perfect cooked. Fries were also well seasoned as well. This place also offers breakfast food and milkshakes. They have candy options at the order counter like snickers that can be mixed in. Not sure if the cookies can be mixed into the milkshakes but I'm sure they could if you wanted that flavor. We had a good experience here and I'll for sure be back the next time I want a delicious, well-priced burger.

I think this one is a keeper! This was my first visit and first time eating a Chicago Dog. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The chili cheese fries were delicious as well. Those are a childhood favorite of mine, and I want disappointed. Next, time I will try the chili cheese dog. The staff were friendly and my order arrived to my table hot and fresh. I dined inside; however, there were some table benches outside for patrons to enjoy. I would definitely say check this spot out.

One of the best burgers I've had in a long time, and I've had my fair share of burgers. Quality speaks for itself. Great customer service and efficient. Make sure you get the fries as well! It would be nice to have some spicy options in the future. Overall, 10 out of 10!

I was impressed. Seriously, the food is top notch, the prices are reasonable and the staff...well the staff is amazing. For example, while eating I was approached by not one owner, but both at different times. Each asked about our experience, what we have tried on the menu and had great recommendations for our next visit. And yes, we will be back. I had the Clark burger, GET IT! Amazing. My daughter had the BLT and raved about it. We shared some of the best fries I've ever had.wish I got a shake....Loved the atmosphere, very chill, people laughing and enjoying themselves. Easy 5 stars. The wife actually came outside and waved to us as we left! Customer service right there

Best breakfast sammys in town! Fresh fresh fresh! Came here two mornings in a row after finding this spot. Can't wait to come back for lunch! Prices are very fair!

Truly the best fries in town, in countless varietals at that. The specials are always amazing. The sandwiches and burgers are top notch. The crew is all amazing and friendly. Everything about this place hits all of the spots.

Clarks is a consistent stand out in Charlotte. Great food, friendly service, and always clean. Highly recommend the Clark Burger, it's stacked with two patties. Thick cut fresh fries are an absolute must for a pair. We also grab Jalapeno Mayo, Beer Cheese, and the house sauce for dipping the fries in. Solid meal, well worth the cost of admission. Playlist inside is grea too. Not sure where else you are going to hear Low Spark of High Heeled Boys and Deal while chowing down. We'll be back again soon.

Nice casual spot for comfort food. The employees were friendly and food came out quick. I felt the menu was a bit pricey for what it is but would definitely go back!

The food and service was on point!! I stopped in for a quick bite to eat and ordered a burger, Carolina dog, and fries. Everything was good, I'll definitely be back!

we had the best experience eating here. The burger was hand padded and delicious on the homemade roll and we love the hand cut fries. The service was amazing. We were greeted as soon as we walk in the door, and the atmosphere is really fun. They had darts and a mini shuffleboard that we enjoyed playing. You don't find Hometown places like this anymore with great service and great food at a great price.

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.
