"We visited last week and it was our first time. First, we did not realize they only take only cash, so we had to use the ATM on site with a $2.50 service fee. The atmosphere of the restaurant is no inside area, they have no outdoor tables and chairs outside just a long table to stand at. So, truly you need to take it to go or eat in your car. It was a cold day so that worked out well. Service was good! The food was just average. We each got a cheeseburger and that really had no flavor. The hot dog was good, but kind of in the smaller side. The cheese fries were good but they over salted the fries. We drove here from Matthews to try this place and glad we did, but would not drive this far again for this restaurant."

"Finally made it to Brooks’ Sandwich House - it’s been on my Charlotte food list forever thanks to all the rave reviews, and I’m so glad I went. The cheeseburger was the absolute standout for me - juicy, flavorful, and just classic in the best way. I also tried the chili cheese fries since they’re kind of famous for their chili. The chili and cheese were solid, but full transparency - I’m not really a potato wedge person, so that part didn’t hit for me. Totally my fault for ordering something I don’t usually vibe with, but I wanted to give it a shot. Heads up - there’s no seating, just a standing-height wooden picnic table if you want to eat on-site. I ended up grabbing tea nearby and eating there since it had that outdoor picnic feel. Parking’s easy - gravel lot, just pull in wherever you fit. You can also call ahead to order, and they’re cash-only - but there’s an ATM right next to the window so it’s super convenient. I did post a video of my half-eaten burger (sorry y’all, I couldn’t wait) and I’ll try to upload a clip of the outside soon. Definitely worth the visit - I’ll be back for that cheeseburger again!"

"My first time to Brooks Sandwich House. I've been meaning to visit for some time. With all of the recent news coverage surrounding it, I wanted come come and show my support. Super yummy. It is like stepping back to some of the little places my dad would take me to eat at as a kid. Note that they only take cash, but there is an ATM on site."

"Located in the NoDa area just outside of Uptown Charlotte, Brooks Sandwich House has been in operation since the 1970's and remains as authentic today as it has for decades. On the inside you'll find there's no seating, no "real" ordering line, no fancy decor, or anything else that resembles your average restaurant Instead you walk in the front door and are immediately standing in the kitchen with only a counter between you and Brooks' World Famous Burgers. After carefully considering what to get on our first trip and a little persuasion from the staff we decided to go for a bacon cheeseburger, a bacon cheeseburger "all the way", a hot dog "all the way", french fries, and a sweat tea. One of the things that Brooks' is best know for is their chili. Its pretty much considered an atrocity to dine at Brooks' without getting chili on something. Brooks' World Famous Chili is even being sold at your local Harris Teeter... that's how important this stuff is. So after a few minutes of waiting and looking around, we realized just how much Brooks' reminded us of our favorite burger joint in Lynchburg "Texas Inn" aka the "T" Room. The rustic, authentic, local, anti-glamour type of foodie hangout that makes non-locals easy to point out. Then we got our food and headed outside to find out if Brooks' was all hype.. or whether or not locals had been on to something for the last few decades. Brooks' lacks a lot of the creature comforts traditional to most restaurants but it doesn't seem to damper anybody's craving for their mouthwatering and handcrafted burgers. We walked outside and quickly realized we had four options 1- Bring the food home 2 - Eat in our car 3 - Eat on our car 4 - Eat at the long wooden table in the shade It was an absolutely beautiful day so we chose to take full advantage of the quality lighting and setup on the hood of our super fancy Pontiac Grand Am. To say the food looked too good to take pictures would be an understatement. All I could think of was how quickly I wanted to get the photos out of the way so my teeth could sink deep into the handcrafted and perfectly cooked hamburger patty topped with cheese, bacon, onions, chili, and mustard. Love at first bite is the best way to describe our experience at Brooks'. After a few minutes of the HOT.. HOT.. HOT sun beating down on us we sought out refuge in the shade and relocated our grub to the long wooden table behind the restaurant. After consuming every last bite and taking a long hard look from an outsiders perspective of the restaurant and the claim of being "Home of the World's Best Burger"... we decided it fell a little shy of the high expectation we had at the beginning. It was love at first bite and we would definitely recommend it to any foodie looking to get a taste of Charlotte's history. But with that aside... it was not "Home of the World's Best Burger". Instead we found it to be home of a really good and fresh made piece of Charlotte burger bliss."

"I love old school restaurants. I loved everything about this restaurant. I ordered the double bacon cheeseburger with fried bologna with the chili on the side along with French fries. I know my cholesterol was through the roof but it was worth it. It was so delicious even the fried bologna and I hate bologna. This is a great no frills meal just get your meal and eat outside. So good. This place is cash only but they have an ATM there."
