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.
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.
The list has 2 spots. It includes Tavern on Tracks, Painted Rooster.
Google's price levels for these spots: 1 at $, 1 at $$. More dollar signs means a pricier meal.
