List of restaurant chains in India Puns

I'm in my first year working in a restaurant, and it's what I've always wanted to do. And beginning to realize that childhood dream is amazing. But as most of us know, restaurants are having to do takeout only. I know it can be easy to swing by a McDonald's or a Taco Bell on the way home, or order Pizza on a lazy day. So I wanted to write out a little list of places to consider before you go to a big chain. This list is absolutely not comprehensive by any means, so please absolutely add to the list down in the comments.

Burgers: Wisconsin Burger, Manito Tap House, South Hill Grill, Milk Bottle, Backyard Public House

Pizza: DiNardi's Pizza & Pasta, South Perry Pizza, Veraci, Peace Pie Pizza, Boombox Pizza, Pizza Rita, David's Pizza, Pizza Pipeline

Tacos: Cochinto, Fiesta Grande, Gerardo's

Other: Laguna Cafe, Hops & Drops, Fresh Soul, Chicken N More, Haha's Teriyaki Grill, Our Thai House, TT's Old Iron Brewery, Linnie's Thai Cuisine

thank you phil_on_uni :

Gordy's Sichuan, D.lish's, Satellite, Benniditos Pizza, Wolfy's (apparently they are anti-mask)

I'd be more than happy to add to this list over time. I love this city and I think it's especially important to support our local restaurants right now. Thanks everyone!

Edit: Thanks everyone for commenting more places! I've since added what new places I've seen.

215 for regular veg pizza + Coke 55= fuck your pocket.#dominos

I've been here for a few months, but because of school and work, I haven't really had much time to embrace and enjoy all the good food that Charlotte has to offer.

That's why, I want to make a big list of all of charlottes great restaurants here, and try them all.

I'm sick of the chain restaurants. I want to eat at places with character, a good local feel, and most of all, amazing cooking.

Personally I live very close to Tinseltown so when I first moved here I would hit up Dunkin and Starbucks all the time. Now with Covid I’ve tried to support the smaller businesses instead of going to chains.

My go to coffee place now is Brass Tacks on Southside! They have about the same prices as the chains but a wider variety of coffee flavors and the best muffins I’ve ever had. I’d like to find more small businesses to support that have some great food. I’m currently looking for a place that has great bagels but isn’t Einstein bros.

Thanks for the recs!

Edit: thank you for all your recommendations! I’m going to try to make an excel sheet for them and hopefully post it on there pretty soon.

Please keep the recommendations coming, especially if you think we’ve left something out!!
