While there's some great food to be had, it's not worth the hassle to park. The only way to park is to scan a qr code, but when I went in April unfortunately my 📱 wouldn't scan. I went through a lot to register- a kind stranger scanned for me and texted me a link. Great. But imagine my shock when I got a bill for $5 plus a 900% "notice fee"...although I never got a bill for the $5 at all, which I would gladly have paid. Since then I've heard other horror stories about outrageous fees. As long as this parking system is in place I'll never go back.

Great mixture of ethnic foods with some American choices thrown in so there's something for everybody in your group. Also, a good amount of tables available with a great, friendly atmosphere to relax and enjoy your meal.

Great place to shop for gifts and grab a vegan meal. Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options at multiple restaurants! Plant shop and stationary shop are so fun
Parking: Parking lot is free for first 90 minutes if you register with qr code (applies free 90 for each visit) then is inexpensive after that. Always plenty of spots.

One of the coolest places for food in charlotte. The Harriet’s burger is solid, the chai at the Indian spot tastes just like the stuff in India, and the Chinese dumpling spot is pretty authentic. When I have guests from out of town, this is one of the places I take them, and they’re always impressed. I love that you can go with a group and everyone can pick their own food, instead of trying to find somewhere that pleases everyone. They also play good music.
This was the perfect place to meet Friends for Lunch. There were several delicious FOOD options and plenty of seating areas. Be Aware, you have to pay for parking. Please scan and pay or you will receive a fine for $50 or close to that range.
Kid-friendliness: Yes
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, Elevator is available
