Grills in Charlotte, NC

“love the food and the family service“

“It's been 55 years since I was here last so time for an update.
Back in the day, I lived in the Steele Creek neighborhood near one of the Seven Sisters, the Presby churches that were established in Meck County. The Steele Creek Presby building remains off Hiway 160 but the congregation has relocated.

The CLT airport has taken over this area. They adding longer runways and expanding the airport. Steele Creek neighborhood has come under 'eminent domain'.

This place is a legacy to those bygone days. In the same building and location over 70 years.

I stopped in today to get some lunch. I probably should have called it in because when I got there at 1230p the place was packed, no seats available and everyone picking-up 'to go' orders.

They are only open during the week and shut down the kitchen at 3p.
Very popular with all the area work crews and airport area workers.

Each day of the week they have a 'special' so today I got the cheeseburger that comes with a side and a beverage for $11.00 bucks.
It was real good, not amazing but 'real good' is legit.
The fries were real good too.
Menu is extensive and the prices are very reasonable for the food quality and portion size.

Fancy, no, gravel parking lot, yes, call in orders, yes, clean, yes, organized, YES! The phone didn't stop ringing when I was there.

In the parking lot was Duke Power work trucks, next to Pike work trucks and all kinds of construction work trucks.

It's a throw back place that has managed to survive in an area off I-485 that has exploded in growth over the years and next to CLT Airport that keeps on getting bigger as well as other support type business.

I'm not sure where the 'grocery' part comes in but they sell beers by the case and tall boy singles so maybe that's the grocery part.

Go check it out before it gets gone!“

“That sounds great.“

“I had their Bulgogi beef, and it was excellent! The rice has plenty of flavor without being overly fried, doused in excessive seasoning, or filler veggies like peas. It is minimal for rice, but done very well and gives lots of meat in exchange. The veggie hibachi might be what you'd want with the rice, I've got to return to see. At the counter there's a notice saying they don't use MSG because they care (I think those concerns are overblown). When I first came in I was somewhat confused by the jewelry counter, but I saw art everywhere from the tables to the ceiling so I came around to like it.“
