This soul food restaurant in Charlotte ranks No. 1 for fried chicken in NC

A Charlotte soul food spot has earned statewide bragging rights. Mr. Charles Chicken & Fish now ranks as the No. 1 fried chicken restaurant in North Carolina, according to Tasting Table. FULL STORY: Best fried chicken joint? This Charlotte restaurant ranks No. 1 in NC Here are key takeaways: Tasting Table published the rankings Oct. 30. The food and drink website drew on Reddit posts, online reviews, awards and press coverage to pick the top fried chicken joint in each state. Mr. Charles Chicken & Fish started two decades ago on Statesville Avenue. It operates multiple restaurants in Charlotte, and the uptown location on Dalton Avenue got the nod. Michael Rhynes Sr., who helped open the restaurant, told CharlotteFive in 2024 that the business builds relationships with customers. “We try to get to know everybody. I watched kids grow from being six, seven years old. Now they’re in college.” The restaurant’s namesake chicken appears in dishes such as chicken dinners and a gizzard appetizer. Though Tasting Table singled out the hushpuppies as a must-order dish, the menu also features Southern sides like collard greens, fried okra and macaroni and cheese. Other Charlotte dining destinations have drawn recent attention for their

12 North Carolina Restaurants That Know How To Make Biscuits And Gravy Right

One Asheville spot serves cathead biscuits, a name that comes from biscuits roughly as big as a cat’s head. That alone made me sit up a little straighter. Then I learned the same place lets you pick a gravy the way other cafes let you pick a muffin. Another kitchen in Charlotte never closes, so sausage gravy is on the table at 3 AM if you want it.

Locally-owned halal restaurant expands to East Charlotte. When does it open?

Halal Street Food will bring traditional Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes to a new area of Charlotte. The locally-owned restaurant is expanding (again) with a new location on Lemmond Farm Drive in East Charlotte, just off Albemarle Road. The grand opening is Thursday, Nov. 19. “New neighborhood. Same obsession-worthy flavor,” management teased in a recent Instagram post. Halal Street Food serves authentic halal favorites. Think: wood-fired kebabs, gyros, shawarma and chicken and lamb over rice. Falafel and salads are also on the menu, plus hummus and its popular white sauce. CharlotteFive reached out for more information on the new location Thursday, Nov. 12, and was awaiting a response. Drawing inspiration from their first restaurant in Michigan, husband and wife duo Khuram and Damaris Bashir launched Halal Street Cart in uptown Charlotte in 2016, CharlotteFive previously reported. The couple went on to open its first brick-and-mortar location in MoRa in 2021, then came a second at Camp North End’s Keswick District in 2023. THC drinks could soon be banned in NC. How will it affect Charlotte businesses? “Halal Street Food has always been about family and the way food brings us together,” Cristopher Collado, the Bashirs’ son and CEO of the
