Queen Charlotte’s Kitchen
5501 R C Josh Birmingham Pkwy, Charlotte, NC
Crema's Take
“Queen Charlotte's Kitchen is an airport café that punches way above its weight with genuinely fresh, thoughtfully crafted food—think Western omelets with quality ingredients and standout turkey sandwiches on excellent bread that make a travel delay feel like a lucky break. The experience is casual and efficient, perfect for grabbing something substantial between flights, though the QR ordering system can be a bit finicky. Despite some mixed reviews about service consistency, those who connect with this spot rave about it as an unexpectedly delightful bright spot in airport dining.”

Avoid this place. It's designed so the staff has to do the least for you. Table ordering? No the QR code system isn't working but you don't know that until the end of your order. No warning. Counter staff are horrible and unhelpful. Food is disgusting microwaved service station level crap. All for expensive airport prices. Don't waste money here.
Had to wait for bags and grabbed a coffee and a sandwich here. Food was good and service was great. Mike Truty showed up unexpectedly and serenaded the patrons with several Broadway show tunes. We all thought he was flat but he’s a gifted performer. Of that, there can be no doubt. Really liked the fries. They had a nice seasoning.
American Airlines did not get my luggage on a transfer flight to CLT Airport, so I had to hang around the baggage claim to wait for my bags. To my my surprise and pleasure, I found a restaraunt in the unsecured area of the airport, which was nice so I didn't have to go through security again to get something to eat. I ordered the Barrel House BBQ Chicken Flatbread. This pizza was very large. Interestingly, it had corn on the pizza, which I've never had before, but it really worked. Overall, the pizza was surprisingly good given it was ordered at an airport restaurant. The female working the restaurant was kind and friendly. Overall, I did not expect much from this restaurant but was very pleasantly surprised with the food.
I had THE best turkey but at Queen Charlotte's Kitchen at the Charlotte Airport. it is located on the lower level near baggage claim. my sandwich was SO fresh with tomato and arugula on wonderful grain bread. the portions of turkey and cheese were VERY generous! this place is clean and organized. your fresh food is served really fast. lots of comfy seating available with outlets for charging. great place to people watch while you wait for your ride from the airport. Skip the junk fast food places...eat local at Queen Charlotte's Kitchen!!!
This was one of the best breakfast's I've ever had! Not just in an airport, but all time. I ordered the Western Omelet Wrap and it was so fresh, juicy, and amazing. The side was a bowl of fruit and yogurt, and I was really surprised by how much they gave me! The yogurt had a little honey in it too which made it extra good. The service was outstanding. The waiter was so kind and professional with every guest, and he really went out of his way to make everyone felt taken care of. I truly cannot say enough good things about this place.
