Tavern on Tracks✓
I'll be honest: the service is lousy. But the chicken tender is thick, juicy, and good enough that I keep going back anyway. That's saying something.
Painted RoosterHon. mention
Fantastic tenders, great Buffalo chicken wontons, and the largest portion of perfectly battered fried pickle chips in Charlotte. An honorable mention that wins on the sides alone.
